Funny Microbe Pictures

2010-06-02T11:23:00.000-07:00

This is brain cell. Right now he wants to throw a frisbee. Brain cell is what sparked my interest of giant microbes, which are giant germs or other microscopic things from all over the world, like rubella, measles, scum. This is the story of my fascination of giant microbes. i went to the science store in manayunk (a neighborhood near where I live,) I saw this cool microbe called brain cell and I loved it so much. I wanted to get it for my birthday, but instead I got it in my Easter basket. Brain cells are also called neurons, which live in your head and everyone uses them for thinking. If you get madcow (another microbe that i have,) your brain gets DESTROYED!!

This photo is titled "Microbe Family Tree."

This is scum. Scum is a microbe that hangs onto rocks at the seashore. It is a kind of algae. If you find any algae at the seashore, it might be scum, or the microbe algae.

Here is mad cow on a bike. He always likes driving around the backyard. Another name for mad cow is bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The funny thing about the giant microbe mad cow is that it has black and white spots and udders like a real cow. The actual microbe, mad cow, does not have black and white spots and udders.

Amazing Creatures

2009-05-26T12:31:00.000-07:00

Atari, Ivan and I, sitting on the back of a Galapagos Tortoise. I am about to slip off.

He was taking us on a slow ride to Delaware.

Atari and I went for a look into the sea. We saw a million creatures swimming in the depths. This was a scary sight because we saw a moray eel coming out of a cave. Ivan was too petrified to swim in the ocean with us.

This is a giant dragon fly.

Here is a giant scorpion who was moving his pinchers.

These are giant ants.

This is me and Atari, standing next to the giant ants.

Here we are with the giant scorpion, who opened his pinchers again.

Digging for Dinosaurs.

2009-05-15T10:40:00.000-07:00

This is me and my brother, Ivan. We are looking for bones in the dino dig. Right then, Ivan was trying to put a piece of sand in my tunnel.

Here we are again. We are in the science lab studying the new dinosaur bone that we just discovered. We felt like we were the first scientists to find a deinosuchus bone. A deinosuchus is a giant prehistoric crocodile that gobbled up dinosaurs in one gulp.

This is me standing next to a tyrannasaurus. I am scared stiff!!

The Creatures of Nashville

2009-04-04T10:02:00.000-07:00

This is me holding a caterpillar. I love it so much that I didn' t want to leave it.

Above, you will see me pointing to a crane fly in the woods. The next one, I think is a tiger beetle, that is sitting on a post. My mom and dad were with me when I saw it. It didn't want to get its picture taken. Then you see the picture of tadpoles, my first sighting of a wild snake, a giant salamander crawling up a wall, me standing next to a giant praying mantis, a giant mayfly and a giant io moth. Next is Ivan swimming in a deep river with all pond creatures surrounding him. The last picture is my pet dragon.

Mythical Beasts

2009-04-03T09:30:00.000-07:00

This is Pegasus. He just dropped Persius off from getting Medusa's head. He felt good for helping someone.

This is a cyclops, guarding two brother unicorns from the Gorgon Medusa.
These are good unicorns because they just fought off the cyclops. The first one's name is Dianthus and the other is his brother.

This is Medusa and one of her sisters trying to fight off Persius who is on Pegasus.

Many Emotions of the Big Horn Sheep

2009-04-03T09:15:00.000-07:00

This is a little silly cuz it is a lizard big horn sheep. I found it in the mountains.

A big horn sheep, serious...

I found this one in the mountains too.

This is happy.

This one lost its mom so it is sad. I brought him to his mom.

This is a mad one. I think he is mad because he is in a fight with another big horn sheep!

My Nome

2009-01-26T09:58:00.000-08:00

This is me holding my nome. He is light.

This is me eating an apple with the nome who eats flies and greens.

I have a nome, a million eyed-bug with legs on both body and tail. I heard about the nome from the movie "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." (I borrowed the movie from my friend Atari and watched half of it this morning.)

I feed my nome greens four times a day. And he eats dead insects like house flies and mosquitos. I take care of him every day, every minute. He sleeps once a day for 30 hours in his cage. When he wakes up, he wakes everyone up with his pitter-pattering.

How did you find him?

I got him at the pet store with a lot more mythical beasts, like dragons, sea serpants, and squids like the Kraken.

Spy Kids!

2008-12-14T08:39:00.000-08:00

This is a spider monkey that I saw and it was in the movie "Spy Kids." And I made one of my own, it's mechanical. It has a flying horse shoe in it. I tied it to an invisible leash and there it is. I took a picture of it and there it is on my blog. In the movie, there was a slizard (half snake, half lizard) and a two-headed sea snake, a bull frog (half bull, half frog) and a flying pig (half bird, half pig) that had a nest in a very big, long tree. It is a movie that is real and you should find the nests in the tallest trees someday.

Ghosts About...

2008-12-14T08:32:00.000-08:00

This is a ghost. It's real and it's in my house. It has a light and it is invisible. I saw something really scary coming through the door saying "OOOOHHHHH" while it was coming in. I was so scared that I was shaking. I think the ghost is trying to put our house on FIRE!!!!!

Birds About...

2008-12-14T08:23:00.000-08:00

Uncle Bruce sent these wonderful birds to me. First he stuffed them, and then put a tag and stick on them, then put them in a package and then put them in the mailbox and sent them to me. The bigger one is a Cedar Waxwing, and the other is an American Goldfinch. I really like them. Thank you, Uncle Bruce, for sending them to me!

The Big Surprise!

2008-12-14T08:13:00.000-08:00

This is me with Yoda and Spider Monkey and the big surprise is that I got this picture on my blog. I am posing for the photo and asking Santa what I want for Christmas, for paint the dragon and mythical beasts.

"What do you love about Christmas" asks Mom.

I love sleigh riding. I like getting Christmas presents under the tree, and getting NEW STOCKINGS FOR THE CATS!!! And decorating the tree and collecting snow. (?)

my favorite scooby doo movie(the end)

2008-11-30T09:42:00.000-08:00

my favorite scooby doo movie ever because it has the loch ness monster in it.

"I had a GREAT dream."

2008-11-12T04:24:00.000-08:00

"Oh, really! What did you dream about?"

"School was in my room... in my house! Everyone from my class was in my room and my teachers put cookies out for a snack, they were inside cups and we were all laying down in my bug cave learning about gargoyles!!!" It seemed like it really happened. And I didn't cry because you were right downstairs doing dishes. So I got to eat candy and watch STAR WARS!!!!!"

Victor Riding Bubbles the Dragon

2008-11-01T07:40:00.000-07:00

Victor is riding a sea serpent dragon. Mommy is driving the wheel and Victor is looking out for dangerous sea creatures, like giant squids and stuff.

Halloween Fun

2008-11-01T07:24:00.000-07:00

These are our Jack-0-Lanterns. They are glowing with light. I put a centipede, frog and baby rat in them to make them even more crazy-looking.

We are carving the pumpkins here.

Me and Atari are scared of our pumpkins.

Me, riding to school in my dragon costume on my fire bike. We had a Halloween party.

Creatures of all the world.

2008-11-01T05:56:00.000-07:00

This is me riding a blue whale, over a wave and it splashes and splishes in the water. I get a ride on it as we sail into the deep.

The title of this pictures of me and Ivan is called "The World's Famous Creature Charmers." We held salamanders, puppies, rabbits and squirrels, and me and Ivan were still alive after holding these dangerous, biting creatures. Only the salamander was venomous.

This is me and Lovo Lazo riding on my fire bike after school. Lovo Lazo is stapped in and Victor is stepping on the motor.

This is me and Xia getting chomped down on by a GREAT WHITE SHARK!!! We were crushed into shreds and got stuck in its belly. It's dangerous teeth slashed us. And we got gulped down to the tail. That's the end of the story.

I am holding a real tarantula. Lovo Lazo is looking at it and I am holding it in the Rain Forest. I have a piranha shirt on and I live in the Rain Forest in a red house.

This is at the Linvilla Orchards field trip. Me and Gracie, a school mate with a butterfly on her face, are on a hay ride with spider, our pet. Lovo Lazo was there too, sleeping in a bed of hay with Mommy beside her.

This is at Story Book Land!!! It is a whale named Moby Dick, and I am in its MOUTH!!!

My Project and My Creature Family

2008-09-19T07:15:00.000-07:00

Here is my project. I thought of it all by myself. First, I put sand in a container and then I put water in the container and then put some fish and a pirate's flag in it. I put the lid on and there it is, my under the sea project.

This is Ratso and Liz. I got Liz at the beach and Ratso, I bought with my own money from the art store. It was in the halloween section. Mommy feels grossed out by him, but I think he is cool because he looks like a mongoose.

Here is my lizard, Liz. I keep very good care of him and I feed him everyday. He eats plants and insects.

Here is Ratso again. He lives in our backyard and he always wanders off with the others. He has a long tail.

Here is me taking some pictures of Ratso and the others.

Here is Toneaog with Liz and Ratso.

Lucy,Liz, and other biz...

2008-09-14T05:56:00.000-07:00

The whole family went to Lucy the elephant town. It was cool. There was a giant elephant and the eyes were the windows, and it was so cool I couldn't believe it. I am sitting on Lucy's toe. I am holding Liz from the magic school bus. I got her at the dollar store with my dollar that our next door neighbor, Miriam, gave me. Liz is a frilled lizard. I really like her and want to take a close up picture of her right now.

Mom took this at the Rainforest Cafe at the boardwalk. I love this restaurant because there are animals all around. This is a crocodile that opened and shut its mouth and I was so scared. I wanted to get a ride on it but I couldn't. I ate dinosaur chicken tidbits and I got a cool spider for Christmas.

Here are six slugs that I found outside of the beach house. They were easy to find because they were right in front of my face. They came out because it was raining. They felt like slippery slug slime. No one else wanted to hold them because they were creeped out. But I wasn't. They were some of my first slugs that I ever held.

These are my glow-up creatures. I got them from mommy because I was a good boy at the doctors. I didn't cry when I got needles. I hanged them up but they fell down because it was hot in my room and the putty melted.

These are my creatures that I made from clay and they are going to dry out and be toys. There is a turtle, snake and spider. Mommy did the turtle and spider and I did the snake. I made my sticker be a flag.

My collection, Colors, and other things.

2008-09-02T13:18:00.000-07:00

This is my collection. The horse shoe crabs were given to me by my friend Atari. She found them at the beach, at Cape Cod. The beetles are scarab beetles. Mommy and I went to "Bug Fest" at the Academy of Natural Sciences and they had millions of beetles for everyone to pretend to be entomologists by pinning them into a box. One of the cicada Daddy found at the dairy farm and the other one in the woods.

Here is Mommy. She is my best paleontologist friend. She has her pjs on.

Colors, the cat in our backyard, and me are looking at my collection.

I really like these pictures that I took of Colors, the cat who is in our backyard. And mommy is holding Colors. He just came over one day and never wants to leave. I like picking him up. We have to find someone that will give him a home. I will miss him when he is gone.

I took these in our back yard. They are real love snakes and they are mating

.

It is real black-toed tarantula from the rainforest. It's diet is toads and frogs.

Victor is blogging!! It's all about science.

2008-09-02T07:35:00.000-07:00

These are all pictures of my book, "Victor's Book of Science." I cut out all different kinds of creatures and paste them in here.

This is a stag beetle. My Uncle Bruce found it and showed it to me and then I put it in the frog cage. I just looked at it for a while and then after dinner, I let it go. It was my first stag beetle in the whole wide world. I was happy.
I love this picture because I look like a blue-tongued skink.
