@Roberta,
I like 'em both, but particularly like the face of the one on the left.

@ossobuco,
Plotzing from the puppy. You'd think that by now I would have built up a plotz/thud immunity. Not yet. Thanks, kid.

@Roberta,
Your leopard was eaten up by patent laws! These are Icelandic horses - left outdoors in all weathers, though exceptions are made for in-foal mares, like those in the front of the pic - who somehow have such feminine faces!

A few years ago, I was having one of the worst days of my life and decided to chill at the Seattle Aquarium. I watched an otter fall asleep sucking his tail. It made my day so much better.

@djjd62,
We rescued a glass snake this morning, the dogs had him cornered in the backyard.

We have a tiny hummingbird nest outside ....just about the size of half a walnut, so cute! The picture quality isn't as good as I just used my cell phone

@CalamityJane,
Ooooh! love it.


From today's SF Chronicle, an article about the burgeoning presence of crows and ravens there about, and a nifty raven photo - me, I've seen a life's worth of crows but not many ravens.

@djjd62,
deege, good to see you and thanks for the pile of bunny photos, hovering, good grief, one more thing to watch out for.
On the otter, that's the first otter that the first adjective shining in my brain was lovely.

@jcboy,
Ummmmm. I'm afraid of snakes in my yard. If and when there is one, it'll be a rattler.

Have to go back and look at the cubs' video.
