Introducing Ozzy! This prehensile-tailed porcupine, Zoo Boise's newest resident, is already becoming a star. 🌠

Settling into the renovated Small Animal Kingdom's Rainforest Building, Ozzy likes to nimbly climb and flip around his habitat’s canopy.

Great moments in Halloween costumes, today in San Francisco.

Two kids cross the street, each with a cardboard tower of the Golden Gate Bridge over their heads, connected by cables and a blacktop roadway, perhaps 25 feet long.

The sun setting and it looks like it's in three parts

The sun setting it looks like an anvil and at the bottom there's something that looks like waves maybe

Everything is bad but birds are good so time to reinstitute BIRD PROTOCOL where a bird is deployed to offset endless evil vibes, please enjoy, birds are good, okay bye

(photo by me)

Portrait-oriented photo featuring a wooden post with a rusted hanger hook jutting out of it, and standing atop the post, triumphant and at least slightly indignant, is a plump little bluebird. The bluebird is a male, and we see the electric blue of his head, but the predominant part facing us is the coppery-orange and pale white front. He is standing amidst little pink-and-red tree blossoms, but I like to imagine these are instead the extracted organs of his enemies. So let's just pretend this bluebird stands vengefully astride a scattering of viscera -- gobbets of gore taken as a prize from his unnatural and invasive foes. I'm sorry I've really made this a gross photo. It's actually quite nice. Kind of a dreamy vibe to it, what with the wall of yellow forsythia blurring in the background, and here I am adding drippy bits and internal organs. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time. Probably.

Celebrate the anniversary of Ivor Wood’s beautiful TV Paddington animations with this, arguably the series’ masterpiece. Paddington does Gene Kelly. I watched the VHS of this as a kid until it wore through.
