Beautiful Animals

i might try and get some video of them when they fly in towards the pond, they're only about fifty above off the ground when they pass the house

just before they moved on, the one sitting down, stood up and stretched it's wings out and strutted around, wings wide and chest puffed out, pretty impressive sight

(you can always here 'em comin'...)

Candy-striped leafhopper:

Abyssinian kitty..

osso, Drooling and cooing over dat feline. I've encountered a few of this breed. They feel like silk. Gorgeous to look at and to touch.

A friend used to have three of them. The love me and rush right over when the see me. Alas, I'm very allergic to them.. but they're so gorgeous and have such great personalities..

Ah, in that post "the" = they.

Schniff, my alma mater..

the saga of the baby squirrel and the wall.. this was in Huffington Post tonight:

Big thanks for that video, kid. Loved it mucho.

Alas, I don't recognize the wall. Things are ever changing..

Mmm, went to watch it again and now it stops and starts again, sometimes, when I move the cursor. Probably my computer..

Must be your computer. I watched it again, and it worked fine.

American Eskimo dog:

Thornback skate:

Sandhill crane:

Footman moth:

That's a beautiful Eskie. Looks like a male (thicker ruff around the neck).

driving through a local village yesterday and saw somebody walking a weimeraner, love these dogs

rosborne, Glad you like the "Eskie." Didn't know that males and females look different. Thanks for the info. An Eskimo dog used to live in my building (ninth floor). I exerted considerable self-control every time I ran into her and her owner. Gorgeous and smiling canine.

dj, Be still my heart. The pix are stunning. The dogs are stunning. I don't see many weimaraners in the city. Some, but not many.

One of the things I like about my neighborhood is the varied dog population. Saw a Rhodesian ridgeback one day. Gasped. They're not good city dogs, but they like mighty fine.
