Golden Ratio of Cute

In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio between the sum of those quantities and the larger one is the same as the ratio between the larger one and the smaller. The golden ratio is approximately 1.6180339887.

At least since the Renaissance, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio—especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio—believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing. Mathematicians have studied the golden ratio because of its unique and interesting properties. (from Wikipedia)

NOW PRESENTING: THE GOLDEN RATIO OF CUTE

WAR: cute vs. super

I received this picture from my sister the other night:

It seems to be your basic struggle between Hulk and Littlest Pet Shop turtle.

I responded with a surprise-attack battle.

Then, WAR ensued.

May the cute be victorious.

I'm sensitive in the flabby parts

Land of Cute gives "Kung-Fu Panda" two thumbs up. Po is extra cute, the bad guy is bad and the tiger is cool looking.

I found these little guys on Etsy, but have since lost track of the name of the seller. So we'll just enjoy the adorable plushy felty cuteness for now. Maybe they'll bring us some cheer during the impending Flash Flood Watch.

Corgis on a rainy monday

A friend just adopted a corgi, so this blog is to celebrate the event. He was a shelter dog, 3 years, and lucky to be with a new family. I await photos, but in the meantime here is the Queen Mother and a puppy.

Fjord Eyes Only (ha ha)

The Fjord horse is a favorite because of the black hair in the mane, and the stout body. There are a couple in the children's zoo at Brookfield. And here is a delightful book about horses that I mentioned the other day. Happy Birthday M!

On the way back from lunch today we saw a great huge woodchuck rolling along through the weeds and dirt. Here is a picture of it's close relative, the marmot.
