Red light? I would be scared, too.

I wouldn’t, either.

Run!

Kate’s trafficking bugs…

Maybe it was a screech owl. They can be rather unsettling to hear.

OOH! A six hundred pound canary!

Reminds me of the myth of “rods”. Straight lines people sometimes see in late-night video of outdoor scenes, which nobody sees in real life. The lines appear for only one frame and some seem to think that it’s an object moving impossibly fast or (according to the more nutty reports), extra-dimensional objects briefly appearing in our dimension.

There was a show on Discovery (or maybe one of the other popular pseudo-science channels) talking all about these “rods” until, toward the end of the show, someone decided to use a high speed camera. The result? These “rods” are just moths flying through the region of the camera’s light, moving through the region too fast for a normal camera (at 30 frames per second) to capture.

One of the big differences between real life and horror flick is that in real life people run at the first weird sound.

Love the lighting in the middle panel!

Glowing Pink Flying Squirrel?

Red light, green light. Reminds of a children’s game…. you know what… let’s forget I’ve even heard of that film, the clips were bad enough… don’t need to ruin my mood by actually watching that film….

I think I’m with Sirius!

Due to the large amount of wildlife where I live, I have mostly stopped walking at night with my dog. We came very close to a face-to-face with a skunk enough times that I figure my luck can’t hold many more times. We have tons of various critters. Due to all of the geese, I also like to see where I am walking. I used to love walking on warm nights, but never took a flashlight.

Huh. I’ve never taken a blacklight flashlight outside. It’s heading for winter now, though.
