Great camera eye and fast speed. Those are some great shots. It's fun watching these guys grow and they have such personality. You do a great job catching it too.

Saturday morning silliness!

IT-1 plays host to...you guessed it...a fly! This one sticks around, for awhile!

IT-2 enjoys an early graze! Funny thing! At only 45 grams, his zest for feeding upends him...but he gets the last laugh!

IT-3 wants nothing to do with any of this nonsense! So, he beats a hasty retreat and watches from afar...until he bores himself to sleep...

Today was Farmers' Market Day! Well...sort of! You my recall a couple months back I made an acquaintance at the Lancaster Blvd Farmers' Market...and purchased some excellent endive, escarole and radicchio! Well, we exchanged numbers and they said I could pick some up whenever I wanted...well, I just got back and treated the ITs (and someone else) to a smorgasbord of perfect leaves...

BUFFET!

OMG, these guys are a riot. They have the most/best personality that just shines through your pics.

Awwww I'm so sad! All of your captions look like they go to beautiful photos, but it's telling me all the links are broken & won't show me pics. :(

Score at the farmers market (sort of) lol!
No 'sort of'...it is a...real score. Now, I can drive straight to these folks' home and hand pick what I want from their garden...and NOT have to hassle all the idiots on the BLVD! :p

I'm guessing you're using the phone app...and your carrier doesn't open the links! Try your PC and refresh (F5) if they still don't show!

Here are some early morning shots of the ITs using the sandstone pavers and overgrown grass huts I've been working on for over two years. The Sudans loved 'em and it now seems only appropriate that the ITs take up where the Sudans left off. I spent most of yesterday manicuring the shape, reinforcing the fence line (to prevent escapes), etc....and they were watching inquisitively. Today, it paid off each one was on a stone moments after I set them out...

NOTE: If you look closely, you'll see that IT-2 has brown eyes and IT-3 has hazel eyes.

They don't seem shy at all. It's good that you're humanizing them at a young age.

Here's an overview of two of the three areas I manicured so the ITs could use them as humid hides...

Today, I actually caught one underneath...FYI...I hose down the top of the overgrowth, allowing water to trickle in (rather than gush)!
