A break from news

[urbpan]

How about some bat pics? The other evening, while cottonmanifesto and I were walking the dogs, we encountered a bat flying in a figure 8 pattern that involved a large oak tree near the path. Part of its trajectory was so low, and so consistent, that we couldn't resist trying to photograph an animal that otherwise is nearly impossible to catch--at least with our meager equipment.

HOOOOOOray for the bats! My boy--who's six--is a batfreak and these pics are perfect batfood for his batheart. He has a latex bat that he named "Night", and Night is his son, he tells us, and he takes him out flying and goodness knows whatelse. So if you want to know what it's like to be a batdaddy, you've gotta ask him. He KNOWS.
