Another #orbweaver! 🕷️

#spiders
A slightly more in focus of shot of an orchard orbweaver. You can see the characteristic orange markings as well as the yellow dots near the spinneret, which has silk attaching to the web.

Moment before a feather wand toy was viciously attacked.

#seniorcats #cats #catsofbluesky
An old grey cat looks at us. Her nails are extended into the wool rug. Her eyes are bright, alert, and pupils dilated. We can see her tail in the background in full swing as she just launched herself at a feather toy.

A lil silly bean, watching me from afar.

She had her wet food for the day and was watching me put out their bowls since they're free fed.

A old grey can peaks at us through some 10lb weights.

A close up for those who enjoy #plant #biology

#botany #tomato #photography
We see a splash of yellow from this volunteer tomato plant's flowers. Looking at the stems we can see both the long and short trichomes.

Some #roses the last owner had put in.
We decided to leave them, as part of helping pollinators in the backyard. They're growing next to beauty berries, whose leaves we can see. 🌿🌱

An orchard #orbweaver from the back yard. We have an incredible amount of these fellow friends.

Orchard orbweaver. We're seeing the underside of Leucauge venusta from Eastern NC!

You can see the #trichomes on this #tomato vine!
You can very easily see the long non-glandular trichomes and possibly the suggestion of the shorter ones, especially around the stems holding the flowers.
We see a section of a tomato vine. The flowers droop down, ready to be pollinated. Some are dropping their flowers/pedals, as the ovaries ripen into fruit. We can see wild long hairs all along the stem. These are trichomes! Some are glandular and produce a sticky substance.

Fritter has spotted something over there!

A dustie little orange tortie looks off to the side of our screen, her ears perked and interested piqued.

Boop the snoot for good luck.

#catsofbluesky #cats #disabledcats #boop
A giant calico looks down on us. Her paws draping over over her cat tower, as she reaches out to get our attention. She is very interested in a snoot boop and pet.

Pixel!

Pixel is genuinely the best cat if you wanna take some quick pictures. My lil attention goblin, especially when streaming or trying to work at the PC.

A large calico looks out at us. She is sitting comfortably in her cat tower, relaxing after having her wet treat for the day.

Fritter is unimpressed.

She thought me taking her pictures were just a phase. She's not angry, just disappointed.

#tortietude #catsofbluesky #cats #animalphotography
A young tortie rubs up against the metal legs of a flower holder. We've caught a shot of her scrunching up her face in what could appear to be an expression of disapproval.

Getting ready for another charity drive for a local animal rescue!
Last year we were able to donate $170 in cash and loads of donations through chewy!

#cats #smallstreamer
"We did it y'all! Here is the channel donation to CAPS!" Recent Activity Carolina Animal Protection Society $170.00 From the Catmint community! All the best and we look forward... Thank you Felicia and the Catmintjelly community. It is because of the generosity of people like you that allows (us) to provide to cats in need.

Meet Pixel!

She's a blind calico rescue who is now two years old! She suffered from an URI as a small bean and had a severe ear infection when we adopted her.

Now she's a thriving giant! Pixel is almost twice the physical size of our other cats. She loves being held and her catio.
Three pictures appear in frame. The top left, a kitten, its face marred with scratches and eyes milky. She wears a cone and looks out from a dirty holding cell. The top right, Pixel, looks out at the viewer, her face smiling. She rests happily inside of a wool bed. The final bottom picture. Pixel, now a bit older but still only a few months, rests on a person's lap. She is content and relaxed. The marks on her face are slowly healing. A large tabico cat sleeps while facing the viewer, her eyes clouded but closed. Pixel suffered from a lack of timely treatment and an URI that led to her blindness as a kitten. As she grew, so did the size of one of her eyes, allowing for some form of partial vision.

This week's collection so far!

We have a few that need to be washed, but with a clean chicken shed and free range, almost all of the eggs I collect are spotless! 🪶

#eggs #backyardchickens #chickens #urbanfarm
We are looking into a woven basket. Inside, an array of eggs sit on a grey towel. We can see a range of colors. Eggshells from blue, green, pink, and finally light brown.

A very surprising find in the feed this morning!

#chickens #backyardflock #goodmorning #eggs 🪶
We are looking down a steel container that has chicken pellets. Inside is a pink-brown egg, nestled lovingly off centered and to the right. We are looking into a teal plastic container with a reddish brown washcloth. We see a few eggs. Today's collection so far includes a brown roundish egg, an oblong pink-brown egg, and a cute lil green egg which I didn't get a good shot of. All collected today and clean!

The ladies provide! We have roughly 3 dozen eggs here.
These all have been washed, we've had some bad storms lately, which meant dirty chicken paws.
Still the eggs they provide are as lovely as ever! 🪶🥚

#chickens #eggs #backyardchickens
A yellow plastic carton holds three dozen eggs. There is a colorful mix of pink, light brown, green and blue to greet us! What lovely gems they are!

Hope your weekend is swell! Lots of love from the Slug friends and family. 💜

Danny was happy to pose for some #Caturday shots, so we're thankful for that!

A lovely old grey cat looks over to her right. She stands beside some elephant bush plants potted in clay jars. There is a highly colorful painting behind her by Jennifer Lommer called "16 Birds".

Happy #caturday!
A wild Dan-Dan approaches!

#catsofbluesky #cats #disabledpets #rescuecats
An old grey cat looks out towards us. She leans against some elephant bushes, rubbing against them, trying to help the human taking the picture to understand she would like pets.

Here is the sweet bean looking like I've given her some bad news!
Apologies for the mess on the table, we're still getting everything in its place! Moving in takes such a long time for me. 😅

#catsofbluesky #cats #rescuecats
An adult grey tabby looks off camera, her expression a bit sad and dejected. She sits on a wooden table, surrounded by toys that maybe no longer spark joy. What she's actually looking at is Fritter and Pix having a tussle behind the camera person.

Momo always takes such pensive shots when she wants to pose for pictures! I love her to bits. 💜

She was following me around while I was snapping pictures. She has two sets which look great!

Sausage snoozing on one of the wool blankets we picked up from IKEA.

They've been a big hit with the cats! Which is great, I found them a lil too thin for myself, but I love that the cats appreciate them. 💜

A round, fluffy, brown tabby is curled into a ball. She sleeps gently, her back toes touching her forehead and front paws tucked under her chin.

Your daily Fritter update! What at amazing #blep 🐱

Is she an orange friend? A tabico? All we know is we love her to bits and she's 100% a shoulder cat!

I'm finally back at being able to share the kittens!

#catsofbluesky #cats #kittens #orangecats
A small orange cat stands on a tan fabric couch. If we zoom in on her face, she looks mildly indignant and has her tongue stuck out. The camera person would like to add this was after some kitten rough housing so she is definitely planning her next round of attacks!

One of our Easter Eggers has started to lay!

What a lovely blue egg! 🐔🥚

Some beautiful dogwood from the surrounding Blueridge area in NC! 🌿

#dogwood #northcarolina #nature #photography #onlybeautifulthings
A beautiful blue sky in the backdrop highlights the intense white and green of the dogwood. Many white petal-like bracts, which appear as flowers, dot the picture and envelope the viewer.
