I Have Issues and The Little Man on the Wall

Ok – So I have some serious issues…I plan to work on them someday.  But for right now, it really bugs me when I post something without pictures on my blog!  I don’t like to go to my Home page when it looks boring….even if it has interesting facts!  (Maybe I am a visual learner, right??)  So I had to find a photo, then make up a very short story so that my Home page will no longer look boring…..Issues! 

I’d like to introduce you to our old friend.  We don’t know his real name, so we call him, “The Little Man on the Wall”!   The first time we saw him, we were sitting in the family room.  I don’t remember what we were doing, but since that’s where the TV is, I’m guessing we were sitting there watching the Discovery Channel, in a somewhat vegetative state. 

All of the sudden, #1 Boy looks out the window and in a very startled voice asks, “Hey, who’s that on our wall?”  Quickly I dashed through the house searching for a photo imaging device.   Just then, #1 Girl exclaims, “Look, I think he’s about to water our plants!” 

The Little Man on the Wall returned everyday for three days, but sadly we have never seen him since.  I’m not really sure who he was, but it was nice of him to water our plants.  He may have been a wood nymph, or perhaps some kind of plant fairy,or….. he may have been working on a roof in the neighborhood next to us! 

The End

Great News!

After googling my heart out looking at images of microscopic life, I decided I would try to get some input on our biological specimen previously posted.  So I sent a few emails to some “experts” in the field.  I was pleasantly surprised that I already received two replies!  One was Ron from the website listed as “Ron’s Pond Scum”, and the other was from Wim at “Microscopy-UK”!

Here…I’ll let you read the originals…

Check out some of Wim van Egmond’s work at:  Micropolitan Museum

Later today, I will update the original posts as best I can!
