Annoyed Chinese Tea Master

This month’s mystery photo comes from something you have seen before. 

This, on the other hand, you have not seen before:

No, it is not an lost Eskimo or one of the many decomposed Kennys from South Park.  The cat, probably like most of your, has no idea what a dead Kenny is:

This is a variant of they above not-Eskimo guy.   No two of these are alike.   This one is a like a flying-bug:

A hint.   This guy can smell them from across the yard:

And one last example.  This is a not a cheese-filled-laughing-alien-head.

You can earn the answers to the above mysteries by plodding through this month’s remaining, less mysterious, photos.

We had a fantastical visit from Z&T.   Zach and I took the doggies to the top of one of the 10k foot peaks we can see from our back yard, Gobblers Knob.

All 3 of the 4 leggers did great, running to the top without assistance:

If you had a bionic eye, you could see our house from here, in the corner of one of those pixels on the right.  Without bionics, you can see the Great Salt Lake, as it is a little bit bigger:

We forgot to bring any dog food.   If they were 10x bigger, this could have gotten ugly:

We took a different route down.  The little paws were not impressed with bushwhacking:

Near the end of our 8 mile, 3500’ hike, the short haired ones ordered a Lyft:

But the crazy long haired guy ran all the way down.   He earned a bath when he got home.  That brackish bath water was likely toxic.

Zach drove out with the dogs, Tiffany flew in 2 days later.   This is her landing:

There was much rejoicing. 

They caught the last good week for the pool:

Bontik taught Mac and Cheese how to float on the boat:

And Zack balled around:

We attended the premier showing of a film and print project that Abbey and company just finished:

A much more relaxed Abbey and Colin dropped by for dinner a few days later:

Zach showed off the bazillion lights he has his Honda Fit outFited with:

Remember that 20’ cedar tree I transplanted last year?  Not un-expectedly, it turned brown: 

So I enlisted Zach to help delete and replace it with a sibling:

Odds are still low, but we got a few more roots this time:

Z&T helped me finally convince Helen we should neuter 1 year old Bontik, who recently started to hump and mark,   To avoid him ripping out his stiches, he gets to wear this cone collar for 1-2 weeks:

Those last 3 mystery photos were from a bag of Kettle corn we bought at a farmers market.  Tiffany an I picked them out as we ate them.  They last a lot longer when you examine each kernel before eating.

That first photo is a fang from a Caroline Wolf Spider:

This was the biggest one I’ve seen!   Found him in the bottom of our pool.   I think he came to visit Zach:

Zach did surprisingly well.  This is his spider imitation:

His imitation has a few too many appendages, but the beard is not too far off:

I tried to simulate a 8’ spider attack using a bonsai tree:

But instead it looks like a 3” spider next to a bonsai tree:

So I switched to a Chinese Tea Master:

And that came out as an Annoyed Chinese Tea Master:
