My favorite animal photos

It's a rainy Wednesday afternoon. I'm waiting on phone calls that may not come in. I have pictures of animals. And behold, a cute animal blog post is born.

These are some of my favorite animals photos that I've taken over the past few years.

Turtles and tortoises

Moth and/or butterfly?

Sea Witch Festival: Dog costume parade (photo gallery)

Happy Halloween, again!

The parade at the 25th annual Sea Witch Festival in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, featured several awesome floats and costumes.

But it wasn't the only parade that weekend.

The festival ran Oct. 24-26. On Sunday, Cassidy and I took seats on the boardwalk to watch the dog costume parade. I can write about how adorable the occasion was, but I think pictures will do much better justice.

Enjoy the pictures and pups.
