"They Buried Me in that Great Tomb that Knows No Sound..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

It is--a long-awaited picspam. Massively old, as evidenced by photographs of Soujin's birthday; but also fresh and new, as shown by octopus cake photographs. Warning: Most of these are horrendously blurry, as they were taken with Mum's old camera (mine is broken).

A rare photograph of the wild Soujin at home:


Soujin has a birthday! Complete with JAZZ HANDS.





I made Zara's hair (even) pretty(er than usual)! ^_____^


A snoozing Sugar Magnolia:


TIME WARP. On to the wilds of Tennessee, with a stop first in Kentucky to see the aunt and get Maggie spayed. I took photographs of the clinic cats for Zara: the first photograph is of Nick (black) and Simba (orangey), who were for adoption, and the second of Violet, the really, rilly grouchy permanent cat. She tried to bite me.



Mum and I went to Mammoth Caves, and it was wonderful! Unfortunately, Mum's camera has no flash, so there are no good photographs of the inside, but there are some pretty outwardly ones.







We stopped for lunch at a Panera's, and I found this. Gaheris says '...buh'.


And then Tennessee! For some reason, I only have one picture of a cousin, and it is Will.


However, I took eight-hundred million of Geraint. Here are only five.






The highlight of our trip--the zoo nashville. :D


Note to self: take fewer photographs of meerkats. Even if they are illegally cute.




Llamas! and burros!




A most gorgeous crowned crane.


Sleepy, heat-tired cougar:


Monkeys are Always Funny.




The lemurs and the red pandas would not sit still for me. The lemurs are clearly going 'talk to the tail', whereas the red pandas are just going 'ha ha you can't photograph us!' Also they look like stuffed animals.





Heartbreakingly lovely giant koi.



That was where the camera died. It magically came back, however, for just one photograph of a beautiful blue-headed bird I found in the aviary portion above the reptile house.


And then of course there's Davy Jones, the Octocake. As you can see, Waen went all out on him.




And a couple of random photographs of housework. The first is me standing in the ruins of what used to be our front yard, and the second is me scraping the summer kitchen to prep it for painting.



So there you are! ^__^ The abstract and brief chronicles of the time.

That cake wins at life cakeness everything. Wow. And I think I want a llama. And Buzz and I very much approve of your jazz hands! :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

DOESN'T IT UTTERLY? ^_____^ It also tastes superb. There is only one tentacle left now. And yes, llamas are adorable and fantastic. Yay, thank you both! ^__^

[bewareofitalics]

IT SO DOES. What kind is it underneath?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

A cinnamony thick kind.

[bewareofitalics]

Oooooooooo.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^____^ Was super.

[bewareofitalics]

I'd be jealous, if I hadn't had Flag Cake yesterday. :D ...*is jealous anyway*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Flag Cake?

[bewareofitalics]

Yellow cake on top of strawberry cake with frosting and strawberries and blueberries in between. And on top, to make it look like an American flag. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oooooo. That sounds very nice indeed.

[nautiluspq.livejournal.com]

OCTOCAKE.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I KNOW WHAT.

[nowgoesquickly.livejournal.com]

That octopus is a masterwork of cakery.

And your Sugar Magnolia curly-haired mop dog is the wonderfully cutest thing alive.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I will tell Waen you said both things; she made the cake, and Maggie is her dog. ^_________^

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

^_____^ The octopus cake is just unbelievably awesome. And the meerkats made me think of the animal!everyone thread on DF. Geraint was almost as adorable as a) Zara with a flower in her hair and b) you standing at the foot of that tiny cascade, which I think may be the most beautiful picture of you I've ever seen. <333

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^___^ isn't it? It was super. And that makes sense! I love the way they piled on each other when they were snoozing. Geraint was a love and watched films curled up on my stomach, licking my fingers. Zara is beautiful. ^____^ And eeeeeep. ^^;; Thank you.

[nrtf.livejournal.com]

'T is a most 'mazing cake, Miss Soujin.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^____^ Thank you! I will tell her so.

[eremon-lass.livejournal.com]

BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem. Can you tell I'm still trying to convince my parents that I we need a new bunny?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

HE WAS SO CUTE. AND UP FOR ADOPTION.

Well, obviously you do,/i>.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

OMFG BUNNY. O_____O So cuuuute.
...Sorry. >__> Aw, but the number of overwhelmingly cute things has made it impossible for me to be coherent. But, eee, the octopus shaped cake looks amazing.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I KNOW WHAT. He was adorable and I was in love with him.

:D :D :D :D THANK YOU.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Awww. ;_________; I suddenly want to go out and snuggle something.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]
