The face of a neighborhood heartthrob. Hide your daughters. #caturday
A tabby cat with a white patch on his chest, neck and muzzle lies upside down on stone pavers with his side against the edge of a rock garden. He looks toward the camera, showing his lips and the tip of his tongue in a goofy expression. His eyes are golden-green, his whiskers are on-point, and his nose is orange-pink. One of his paws is extended forward. Blurred foliage is in the background.

A close-up of pale pink Japanese anemone blossoms. The one facing forward is displaying a ring of golden-yellow stamens around the center. There's a wooden trellis, clear sky, rocks and foliage in the background.
Nearly fell into the garden pond when taking the photo :)

This is Dick. Admire his top-notch whisker game or face the consequences. #WhiskerWednesday
A close-up of a tabby cat named Dick standing on a weathered wooden bench. Dick's leaning directly toward the camera with an intense gaze. He has a white chest, "shoes", and a patch across his muzzle. Yes, his whiskers are on-point (and in focus). The gazebo background is softly blurred.

Guess who's got dew drops on her nose and zero regrets? This girl right here ⬇️ #caturday
A black-and-white pirate cat on a red leash is standing on a grass-covered slope. She has a couple of tiny dew drops on the her nose. There are softly blurred trees and buildings in the background.
Also, it almost feels like summer's back. Yay for fantastic weather at the end of September! Success_Kid_meme.jpg

It’s been well over a week since my last bumblebee sighting, which means the local colonies are likely done for the year. See you come springtime, my fuzzy little friends. Miss you already.
An aging bumblebee is resting on the golden center of a false sunflower. The bee has black and yellow bands of fur dusted with pollen grains, along with a prominent, shiny bald patch on the thorax from wear and tear. Its wings are folded over its back. There are rocks and green foliage in the background. 
I took the photo back in August when they were basically everywhere.

Here's something pretty to start off your week 🙂 #bloomscrolling #butterfly
A peacock butterfly (Aglais io) resting with open wings on a Heliopsis helianthoides flower. Its wings are rusty-red and brown with prominent black and blue eyespots. More yellow blooms, green foliage, rocks and a slatted fence in the soft-focus background.
I took this photo yesterday around noon while out looking for bumblebees. I didn't find any, but I managed to capture this instead :)

This post is just a test. If the image below does not display properly, it strongly suggests @eurosky.social hates cats. You know what to do 👨‍🌾
A black-and-white cat wearing a red collar and leash is walking along a concrete curb on the grass with her right front paw lifted mid-stride. She is looking at something off camera with a focuses expression. Rose bushes and a few pink roses can be seen in the background as well as tilled roofs and windows of residential buildings.

How about a butterfly to brighten your mid-week? Just look at that cute face 😍
A close-up of a painted lady feeding on a false sunflower. The butterfly's wings are spread wide, and its fuzzy back is clearly visible. The proboscis is uncoiled and dipped in the florets of the bloom. The background is filled with more false sunflowers and greenery.

Bit late to post this, but a few days ago I went to look at some historic vessels in Lowestoft - and amazingly nobody had warned them I was coming. Consequently they were unexpectedly light on the traditional greeting of flaming torches and pitchforks.

This ancient Egyptian bronze of a mother cat nursing her kittens is a scene which feels instantly familiar thousands of years later! 🐈‍⬛ 🐾😍 The cat represents the ancient Egyptian goddess Bastet in her role as protector of mothers and children. 📷 Brooklyn Museum #Caturday #Archaeology
This Brooklyn Musem image shows a small bronze group of a mother cat and four kittens set on bronze base, which is in turn set on a wooden base. The mother cat is reclining on her left side with legs outstretched and her head at right. Her left fore and hind legs lie forward while her right fore and hind legs are drawn back. Her tail is draped over her right hind leg. Her head is upright perhaps tilted back slightly as one of the kittens, set between her forelegs, playfully climbs toward her neck. The next three kittens are being nursed by the mother cat. Two are between her fore and hind legs, the last is between the cat's tail and left foreleg. Mother cat wears a necklace which is indicated by an incised line running around her neck. On the front of the bronze base toward the right side (below the cat's left paw) is an inscription ‘Bastet, given life’, showing that the cat represents the goddess fulfilling one of her roles as protector of women and children. Dated circa 664-30 BC, Dynasty 26 or later. Said to come from Saqqara. The museum gives the dimensions as 6.1 x 8.8 x 5 cm.

In the foreground, on the right, a black cat (Kahlua) is sitting on the table, looking slightly downward with golden-green eyes and her tongue in mid-lick over her nose. In the background, a white-and-tabby cat (Princess) is omnomnoming from her bowl on the gazebo seat. Dried flowers and a wooden black cat figurine are also visible in the background.

Until last night, I had no idea Primitive War was a real movie. It’s got everything: the Vietnam War, dinosaurs, a hefty dose of bad CGI, ridiculous sound effects, actors desperately trying to keep a straight face, and Tricia Helfer scratching her back with a twig. It's awesome.
