Critters wrapped: the best of little creatures I've seen this year.

Maybe it's cornball shit but I feel so lucky to be able to see small beauty like this.

TB to the time I saw my favorite species of moth ever, just randomly outside. I didn't even know they lived in this specific zone. This must be what it's like when someone sees a celebrity on the street and asks for a selfie.

Started casually birding as another incentive to go on my long walks. The more I learn about hiking the more I think I'll never qualify as a hiker, just a walker. The fish and the frogs were very active, fun to observe from the shore.

Goodnight and farewell to my sweet baby Lyla. She was the center of my home, my beloved little girl. She held on until I had someone to take care of me. Now there's no more illness, no pain, no pills or treatments. I'll see you again, Bean. 🌈

I'm still in the 'make your walk longer' part of beginner hiking.
