At least this chonky little monster looks guilty about being caught on the feeder that is most definitely not supposed to be for the squirrels.

Storm's brewing. Metaphorically and also in my backyard.

Dudes, there are cliff goats in Bournemouth!

This baby bunny (officially an Eastern cottontail or Sylvilagus floridanus) has been taunting Ripley by eating the clover right outside the living room window.

Living dangerously, little friend.

Future kiwis. Until then, the shade over my reading swing in the backyard.

Miss Ellen Ripley spies something interesting behind me.

Spoiler alert: it's her brother, Koji, trying to live his life in peace.

One of the rejected boys came to eat his feelings. Next time, little buddy.

Achievement unlocked. My local crow family now shows up several times a week and waits for me to see them, at which point I give them some peanuts.

So we got a little snow here in Ottawa...

Miss Ripley is totally in her element this morning.

Little attempted murder in the backyard this morning.

Apparently it's time to take a break from editing references.
