Went to the Santa Ana Zoo today. I appreciate that the animals can be off exhibit if they want, but I wish more of them felt my Cool Quiet Observer Animal Friend vibes and popped out to say hi. Also I am interested to see how the new construction turns out.

Enjoy a giant anteater.

Time for some sub par photos of birds from my lunch break. It's a good day for it. #birding
A lesser goldfinch looking down from an odd angle. It is perched on a tall agave flower stalk. Both are backlit against a clear sky. A lesser goldfinch perched on the side of an agave flower stalk. Bird and plant are backlot against a clear sky. A bird in a tree. Probably a lesser goldfinch, but ID is hard as a bit of flower obscures the birds head and puts it out of focus. The bird is on the middle-ground amid many small tree branches.

This is the gif du jour for me and my team today. By our powers combined, we might have one collective good night's sleep between us.

Here, I made this nice thing. This is the V-day equivalent of cosplaying a character nobody asked for. Have King Brian Connors from Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

Enjoy

Finally managed to get the step counter to stop at exactly 7,777.

No good reason, just for fun. Maybe an ancient @dndpodcast.bsky.social reference rising up from the depths of my brain cause this

I've been on a Fraggle Rock kick lately (always). I finished this yesterday, after putting in far too much time on it.

Couldn't decide if Philo and Gunge needed to be chatting to someone, so added in Phena in her Fraggle AU form in one. Enjoy.

They're not the most exciting, but seeing a whole bunch of white-crowned sparrows, song sparrows, and at least one towhee while on my stupid-little-walk-for-my-stupid-mental-health was nice. I even got one or two photos with recognizable birds in them.

My sister's art is great and I have her permission to share it since she's off social media.

I was walking on my lunch and realized I was about ten feet from this charming Cooper's Hawk. He flew off when I tried to slowly move around him for a better photo, so please enjoy this bad phone wildlife photography attempt instead.
