A number of years ago this fawn was born in my back yard and within his first footsteps in life, found shelter in an old washtub I saved from my father's house after he had passed - still a good image!

First things first. Check the article at the link below.
nice Amac. those are definitely spring pictures.
Beautiful wildlife photos.
Much appreciated. Creative Arts Weekend is pretty much the only article about the arts that has any life span on the Front (Home) Page.
I, and I know others as well, have always enjoyed and appreciated your photo of the fawn in the washtub.
Beautiful shots. That fawn in the washtub is one in a million.
I will look and see if I have anything to post.
I was nerding out on Battle Bots....Haha
Ok, I did a quick look at my pics and found this.
I have no idea....Am at a loss here....
I think I will wait and take another look tomorrow...
Arvo Ender.. nothing a dose of Vegemite wouldn't fix..
I am going to try that one day.
Arvo...man the life boats or in this case the whale boat..
A grey Autumn day here..
Even though it may not be freezing, the greyness makes me shiver.
A birdseed bandit cleaning out the platform feeder on a rainy night.
For some reason I just think it needs its own theme music.
I love raccoons..closest we have is a Brushie...or a brush tailed possum..
I love oz slang...
Morning devangy .. Yes we believe less is best..
Abbreviate everything and shove an O on the end..arvo (afternoon), servo (petrol station), troppo (go nuts) Damien (Damo) etc..
Works for us..🦘
Do they ever get into a pear tree?
Possums love fruit trees pears, apricots and especially apples...and Rose Bushes if you have a Brushie around you can kiss them goodbye...they love the rosebuds can mow off a couple of bushes a night..as my sister in law found out..
Couldn't work out what was eating them till my brother pointed out it was a Brushie..umm there were a few unprintable words said in Ukraine and can we get rid of it..
My brother said nope they are protected..she was not a happy Vegemite..😁😁
I only had a problem with squirrels.
Today, May 18th is International Museum Day, so I am posting a selection of photos that I have taken in or at various museums in China.
The National Museum of Chinese Writing in Nanyang, Henan Province.

Happy Museum day!
We have several. Some little quirky ones like the Mardi Gras museum. I showed pics of that one. One we have they built these pod things. I have never been to it.
Called: Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art
The photo of the fawn in a tub has always been my favorite of the thousands of Mac photos. I have asked him on occasion to post that photo in different articles...It is still my all-time favorite photo by Mac.
Last night's sunset, Stone Creek, Ocala FL.
Two of this week's projects.
The first one seems to depict a wildfire.
It's a color overlay I made.
We have had a lot of smoke from nearby wildfires over the years. The sky turns brown. Sometimes we have ashes falling.
Oh, those are really good and the top one is my favorite.
yup
Thanks, Kavika. The second image is actually an attempt to transform a "mistake" (a blurred photo) into an art piece. I think I succeeded.
it made me reach for my glasses.
Me too, but I was wearing them.
Well, at least you got some exercise this week.
that's about the size of it...
You're ahead of me.
From satellite dish to yard ornament. Stone Creek, Ocala, FL.
There's nothing wrong with beautifying the mundane.
In the mountains and connections are sporadic … but here's one.
This afternoon; Smallmouth Bass

Morning..yum that would go well on toast...
Hope Mrs Mac is doing well as I am..
Thanks, shona1 … she's here in the mountains with me and is doing well and glad to know you are as well.
Otherwise, the bass is back in the water.
Excellent to hear on both accounts..🐨
My mouth waters. LOL
The fish the "waters"… is in
Returning to the subject of Spring's Animal Babies …
Looks like "parental love" to me!

I don't really have any animal pics. Is a fish an animal? Haha
I need to get out in nature more.
I showed some pics from our aquarium. I think I showed just kinda closeups of some of the fish. This pic shows a lot of the big tank. Can see more of the size of it.
The Grouper liked to hang out and watch the people.
Most people have pictures of their dogs or cats - they're animals. Or did you never have any?
I like to watch stuff like this on youtube.
hummers
birds
fish

....or lunch. LOL
We've had a lot of rain the last couple of nights (we really need it) and the froggies are out in force.
They provide you with "The Music of the Night" even though they're not phantoms.
what are their predators locally? do they climb?
For the frogs, the predators are birds, snakes mostly. the little frogs will sometime get on the screens of the lanai and join the local lizards that we have.
the reason I asked if they climbed is that without fail my mom gets them on her 2nd floor condo's back porch every year. wtf?
The ones on your mom's back porch may be Tree Frogs.
A tree frog is any species of frog that spends a major portion of its lifespan in trees, known as an arboreal state. Several lineages of frogs among the Neobatrachia suborder have given rise to treefrogs, although they are not closely
Here is the little fellas we get every once in awhile. Likes sticking to my storm door...........
Our friendly neighbors include's a good number of calves.
Is that a-moos-bouche...
LOL, no it isn't a dessert.
Milk today, steak tomorrow.
The dragonfruit plants opened up last night for the first time this year and here come the bees.
You mean THIS dragonfruit? (photo from the internet)
LOL. First signs of dementia/Alzheimer's? I forgot to post the photo.
It's encouraging that even though you forgot to post the photo you did remember there was one.
The good news is that if you're aware that you're forgetting things, it means you still haven't succumbed to the realm of the living dead. However, my favourite experience of forgetfulness was when I couldn't find my glasses and asked my wife if she'd seen them - she told me "You're WEARING them."
I found these. These are from the aquarium as well. They have an aviary. Some of the birds are from like Africa which I thought was weird. I would have thought they would have more local wildlife.
Great photos.
Thanks to all; see you Thursday night.
