I have a strange request. If I should for any reason be unable to care for this lovable little rascal, is there anyone here who'd like to adopt him? Current plan is for someone to return him to the shelter, but a known, loving home would be better. See Alt text for more info.
I'm old, and while I'm reasonably healthy my body often signals that it's getting tired. It won't last forever, after all! There's more than one potential circumstance where I wouldn't be able to care for him. It could be months, or even years away, or it could be anytime. Our shelter is a good one, and they would find him a good home if need be. He's quirky (as you all know) and takes offense easily when he feels his cathood has been maligned somehow. Also needs a prescription diet and care to keep his urinary issues under control. I think he's worth it! He's also lovable and entertaining and (for a cat) wants to please and tries to be good. Basket included!.

Pitcher plant that lives in a small terrarium at the botanic gardens. Photographed through the glass; they wouldn't let me inside for my own safety.

It's raining #GermanShepherd puppies!

If you, like me, could do with a timeline cleanser or escape from politics, pull up a chair bc I have a LOT of photos of adorable #GSD puppies being goofy or sweet w/ wonky, floppy ears.

First up, the branch manager and the asst. branch manager. 1/? 📷🧵 #Dogs
Two chubby German Shepherd puppies are caught in mid-walk as they trot across grass holding and sharing a single tree branch in their mouths. They have dark colour fur offset by reddish streaks over their face, paws, and legs.

Fossilized coral seacliff, late afternoon, Atiu coastline, Cook Islands, South Pacific. May 1990. Atiu's coral reef grows directly from the shoreline and encircles the island. Eruptions from an undersea volcano have raised the inner portion of the reef to form these cliffs.

It is very late in the afternoon. The partly cloudy sky has patches of light blue, with low clouds and fog along the horizon. To the right is the blue green ocean, graying in the fading light. A low point of land is just visible through that low cloud. To the left are rugged naked brown fossilized coral sea cliffs, almost vertical, dozens of feet (20-30 meters) high. A rock of the same material is just offshore. Although the cliff faces are barren, there is lush green ground cover growing right up to the edge at the top, with green shrubs and trees growing from it starting a few feet (1-2 meters) in. The tall, slender trees are swaying gracefully in an onshore breeze.

So I only really have six swan photos, some of which I have already shared. Sad.

Walked up the Peaks to Plains Trail this am. It was really cold, and more ice is beginning to form on the creek.
Waters of Clear Creek flowing down Clear Creek Canyon near Golden, Colorado. Peaks to Plains Trail running alongside the Creek. Several rocks scattered along creek bed, covered in recent dusting of snow. Water flowing around rocks in the creek, icicles forming on the rocks. Accumulating layers of ice forming along creek bank, creating curved line patterns. Accumulating layers of ice forming along creek bank, creating curved line patterns.

~ Like candles in the dark, like sand in an hourglass,
I push myself to embark on a journey,
instead I gaze at the sea and the sails,
A constant wonder of what could be,
or what could have been... Wishing I knew
the key for me. ~Anonymous

Of all the animal friends that have visited me, chipmunks, gray squirrels, black squirrels, cardinals, tufted titmouse, crows, cats, cattle (just seeing if you’re paying attention) and others, my favorite was this invisible squirrel (I think it was a squirrel🤔) who may or may not have ever returned.
A rare invisible squirrel eats a shelled peanut in my doorway. Isn’t that nuts?!?

With the light snow this morning, the squirrels in the park were active and hungry.

Mid morning animal-check... Goats are still snacking on breakfast while suspicious cat wonders what I'm up to.

White orbs set in a pond, part of the decor for the nightly Blossoms of Light at the Denver Botanic Gardens. They will surely look more festive at night and without a vintage photo effect applied!

Found a quiet pocket of grace in the woods 🍁
Wishing you all warmth and gentle moment 🫶
A close-up photo of a single small, serrated leaf hanging from a thin twig in a forest understory. The leaf is mostly warm red with hints of yellow along the central vein and near the base. It is centered against a softly blurred background of dark brown, green, and yellow fallen leaves, ferns, moss, and thin twigs. The lighting is soft, suggesting an overcast morning; the overall mood is quiet.
