March 25, 2011-This is Cheburashka. The character comes from Eduard Uspensky's story about a mysterious creature who gets accidentally transported in a box of oranges to Russia. More on this story as the characters are introduced. He arrived yesterday along with his friend Gena or Gene from the stories and another character that I will tie in with him and Treeson eventually. I fell in love with this guy a while back but never could find him online to purchase. Finally found him as well as the old stories and cartoons about him. These stories are from Russia in the late sixty’s and seventy's. (85:365 @sharkbayte)

  • March 29, 2011- As we leave our friends Cheburashka and Gena to settle in and get used to living together, we go back to the jungle and meet Captain Coco. "Captain Coco was once a simple and carefree monkey, living in a lush tropical paradise among his jungle friends. One day, smoke and noise woke Coco from a lazy afternoon nap; his jungle home was being invaded by evil developers! Captain Coco knew what he had to do. He alerted his pals and together they formed the Cocommando. The Cocommando patrols the jungle, teaching everyone to appreciate the wonder of nature as a unique and precious treasure, while protecting the beauty of the land." -from Simone Legno (Tokidoki) Day 89:365 @sharkbayte<br /> <br /> thank you for all the comments and suggestions, much appreciated.
  • March 28, 2011-Meet Gene, he is a crocodile of course and he is around fifty years old, which is very young for crocodiles. He used to live with his grandmother on the Nile in Africa before he left to see the world. When his money ran out he searched for a job and found one at the zoo. This is the same zoo where Cheburashka was brought to live. Gene’s job at the zoo was to sit in an enclosure that had a pool, some rocks, a lounge chair and a tree and when visitors came to the zoo, they always stop and talk to Gene and bring him treats. When the zoo closes at night, Gene returns home to his lonely apartment. He has some hobbies but no friends outside of the zoo. Gene is tired of living alone and not having friends; perhaps having Cheburashka live with him would change all this for the better. Cheburashka could also work at the zoo and have his own enclosure to play in during the day.

  • March 27, 2011-Cheburashka needs to find a home. The human that found Cheburashka couldn’t keep him. He figured the best place that could care for him would be the zoo. But the zoo keeper said he didn’t have room for Cheburashka and sent little Cheburashka on his way. Scared and alone Cheburashka started to cry. He must have been crying loudly because it drew the attention of one of the zoo workers name Gene. Gene had overheard the humans talking about what to do with little Cheburashka and felt bad that he would be alone and without a home. Gene is a kind, hard worker and lonely man without family or friends. Gene knows what it is like to be alone in the world and felt that he could help Cheburashka and end his loneliness as well. Perhaps they can become a family, would Gene be able to take care of Cheburashka, what do we know about Gene…so many questions…but that is for another day. (87:365 @sharkbayte)
  • March 26, 2011-Hi! They call me Cheburashka, although that is not really my name. I don’t remember my name. I used to live in a beautiful tropical jungle. One morning I got up early while everyone was still sleeping. I wanted to go outside to play and get some fresh air. I left my home where my parents and my siblings were sleeping. I kept walking and walking until I came to the edge on the jungle and there I saw a large orchard and some boxes of oranges. Since I was hungry, I climbed into one of the boxes and began to eat breakfast. I ate three whole oranges, and that was a mistake, because my belly was too full and I was getting very sleepy. So I went to sleep on top of the fruit, in the box. When I woke up it was very dark, and I could not get out of the box, it was nailed shut. Now, I was hungry because it was late, so I ate some more oranges and went to sleep again. I must have slept a long time. I heard strange noises which scared me, I felt like I was moving and getting bounced around. I tried to get out but I couldn’t move. Finally I heard humans talking and I could see some light coming through the tiny holes in the box. Then the top of the box opened. When the box opened, I saw that almost all of the oranges were gone, and I was so full my stomach was bloated and I could not sit up. Then a human picked me up and tried to make me stand, but I could not because my leg was numb from being cramped in the box. When I tried to walk I fell because of my leg being numb and sleeping. The human said I looked like a tumbling (cheburahalsya) toy. And so he called me Cheburashka. (Day 86:365 @sharkbayte)

  • March 24, 2011-A fluttering butterfly. I was trying to capture the movement or fluttering of the wings on the swallowtail. Not crazy about the results so I am going to try this again with different settings. Settings used were: 400mm f/5.6 1/250 sec ISO: 500 (Day 83:365 @sharkbayte)
  • March 23, 2011-Eastern Tiger Swallowtail-Papilio glaucus. My first butterfly of the season! Spotted him while shooting the crab apple flowers, I didn't see him at first but managed two shots before he flew off. 82:365 @sharkbayte
