Lefty Limbo

I try to entertain my kid outdoors as much as possible. I figure it’s the least I can do to get him to appreciate his natural surroundings…before we go back inside and play Atari

Anyways, the Sugar Daddy strikes again. Greg really loves seeing how the ants mob the blob—and this time they were on it like white on rice. They must’ve been hungry from that long walk.

Imagine Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” tune playing right now with these ants about to breakdance battle on top of the blob, eh? What better way to work off that sugar rush.

I enhanced this one a little with an unsharp mask in Photoshop. I’m not sure if I caught some surface tension in that blur to the left of the ant’s head, but it’s still amazing how these ants can walk on top of the liquid surface.

I’ve always liked ants’ butts (I know, I know…they’re abdomens). They look like little brown Christmas tree lights. I’ve heard they leave trails with their butts to lead the other ants to spectacular finds like this gigantic blob which appeared out of nowhere. I wonder if the other ants smelled the trail and went, “WTF! Are you serious?!! I’m SO there dood!”

I also wonder if ants talk like surfers.
