Awwww... you knew you got me with that chipmunk!!! My favorite! Great photo, Mac!
あなたを捕まえました - "GOT YOU" !
Before or after eating its husband?
LOL !
She's soooo beautiful.....just before. After …… no clue what she looks like.
I've had an indigo bunting visiting my feeders the last few days. I am going to make it a point to go outside with my phone and take a photo of him. If I'm successful I will post it
A group of manatees at Appolo Beach FL. January of 2019. The power plant is there and it warms the water drawing the manatee into the warmer water in cold weather (cold in FL is below 72 degrees water temp)
Very cool Kavika!
This is what is known as a Lil'bit. Definitely a mammal, Definitely a canine.... Malted Pamm-Poo mix
Awwww......he? she? is very adorable.
When I retire I'm getting a little pound puppy. A furry one
She is also known as "The General" because she rules the roost. All 4 pounds of her.
Cute. I use to have a Pomshit.
He was adorable. Poor thing ended up with congestive heart failure. I need to see if I can dig out some pics.
adogable!
Two images of the same spot from two different perspectives.
Really nice EG
Really beautiful photos EG.
I actually found this little guy in my toilet. Have no idea how it got there...
Now I look before I sit...
LOL, I'm sure that you do.
Me too
For the frog's sake.
That's why it's call a "HOPPER"!
It could have gotten in your house when you opened the door and you didn't see it. Then it rovered around the house looking for water. The toilet lid is up...bingo! one hopper in the hopper!
check your diet...
The Hummingbirds are now coming out regularly but I haven't yet got any really great shots. One very unusual thing that (naturally) I didn't have the camera ready for, was of two birds feeding at the same feeder at the same time. Usually trying that would result in a really tiny turf war. Hummingbirds are among the most territorial of animals. After the first few weeks that young birds are flying, their own parents will drive them off the feeder.
I did have this little guy, well not exactly little; he ate well last year, luckily in my neighbor's garden instead of mine, in the back yard..
This is his nemesis. She belongs to the lady across the street. While she may look cute and cuddly, she is a killer. It's a rare morning when she hasn't got at least a mouse. While her owner isn't really thrilled to have her kills deposited on the porch in the morning, we haven't had a problem with moles since they came to town.
I like your bunny and kitty.
The kitty is Martha's, along with another cat, a Pekinese and the most laid back Rottweiler I've ever seen. This cat, Princess, was attracted to my back basement window. One day I found out why. She was hissing and pawing at the window like she hated it. I went inside and down to the basement and there was our cat doing the same thing. Medium sized turf war. It was like trying to pull a couple of drunks off each other in a bar fight. They wanted to kill each other right through the glass. Finally, before one of them actually broke the window, I put a couple of boxes in front of it so they couldn't see each other. Luckily Purry is an inside cat or I'm sure that they would have fought it out by now. I think of the bunny as lunch on the hoof. So, I'm sure, does everyone else in the neighborhood who has a garden. He has about five brothers and sisters that LOVE veggies. They're smart enough to stay away from Princess though. She is one badass pussy cat.
That rabbit looks almost as big as a jack rabbit. I think that's only thing I miss about Texas is the sized of the rabbits. My dog chased one once and ran into a fence.
No animals, insects, birds or fish - just some kids that I've encountered here:
Great shots! Pretty children.
Adorable kids!
Well....it is now 01:28 on Friday....
Here is my first Friday contribution. It may be one that some of you have seen before, but, it may be new to some of you.
Mother Earth?
No...just a Native American Mother with her beloved child.
New or old, they're always good.
Thank you TTGA.
Beautiful
Thanks Kavika.
A Native American equivalent of a Raphael Madonna and Child! High praise.
Thank you very much for such a high compliment, Mac. It is very much appreciated.

Those are truly beautiful birds and great framing that compliments them both.
Couldn't get quite close enough to get an overhead shot. Thorns make a pretty good defense.
Didn't get a shot of the fella who left these behind.
I’d say raccoon 🦝.
Yep. That pretty much sums it up.
And here is a new creation to share.....
A Loon?
I believe so, Mac. They look very similar to the Loons I have seen before.
Yes, they are loons. I'm a loon expert or as we're known in the trade, Loonies.
Thank you for the confirmation, Loonie.
Canadian Loon(ie).
