DH by one of the largest madrone trees I've EVER seen. San Juan Island has sooooo many, it's nuts! If you don't know, madrone trees have red curling bark, and are very west-coastal, and not super common, so I'm always excited to see them.😍
SOMEone is very happy I'm home and the lap/chest/neck is open for perching and purring (and that my nails are a little longer than usual for good skritches).😻
This statue at our local library kills me--so winsome! 💞💞💞 🐰🐰🐰

These courting Northern cardinals not only had #RedBeaks but also red plumage. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #naturephotography
this is hilarious
Marieke dB@mdb2024.bsky.social · 7d agoFor #YourChoice, my post is a recent unusual encounter between an adult male Northern cardinal and a juvenile summer tanager. It seems the cardinal felt a need to respond to an open begging beak and then suddenly realized this was not a juvie of his own species! #BirdOfTheDay #naturephotography
Q (my brain): "What IS this space-potato?" A (NASA): "Saturn's potato-shaped moon Prometheus is shown in this close-up from Cassini." I LOVE when NASA understands us. 😍🥰😘🤓 🪐🥔
