This is Chubbers. He is catching a wave. But more importantly, catching a vibe. 14/10 (IG: nataliepaigebentley)

a yellow lab smiles at us from the middle of a blue-green wave in the ocean. his front paws are mid-paddle. soft seafoam has formed on the beach. the lab is glad you're watching. he wanted you to see him having the time of his life.

Look who popped by for a visit! After more than four months away, ex-orphan Naipoki and her son, Nsimba, returned to Voi. The dependent orphans were so excited to see the little baby they couldn't leave him alone. Eventually, Naipoki had to step in. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates...

Omg a little hummingbird just visited my Mexican Sunflower!!! It stayed for quite some time, probing the flower head almost with the strength of a woodpecker! It probed and drank for a good 3 minutes before being scared off by a passing car. When it flew off, drops of nectar fell from its beak!

Someone has put up an umbrella over the goose nest at the pond round the corner from me to protect it from the heat and I think this is the sweetest thing ever. It’s possibly the pub next to the pond that has done it not sure. I will miss this place when we move 🪿 🐣❤️♥️🥰

a gray pomeranian/chihuahua mix sits on a hardwood floor in front of a beige wall and looks slightly to one side. on her left, there is an enormous pile of her own fur, so large as to almost be mistaken for a second dog. it even has two little tufts toward the top that could be ears. fittingly, the dog’s name is tumbleweed.

A dark-eyed junco with white hairs in her beak standing on a weathered wooden fence looking directly at the camera. She has a gray head and neck, a white belly, and peach sides. The hairs in her beak look like a mustache. The background is a blurred beige with a bit of orange on the left side.

a labrador puppy with red fur and a braided collar is sitting upright between a gray sofa and a dark coffee table. the dog has one front paw on the side of the table, and her mouth is clamped on the table’s corner. she has just noticed that she’s being watched, and her eyes are frozen in panic while she tries to play it cool. her back feet are tucked in front of her, touching at the hocks and then splaying out.

a red toy poodle is sitting in front of a dark leather sofa, his chin tilted slightly up. his snout fur is so fluffy it’s completely blocking his eyes. underneath his little black nose, his mouth is open just enough to show off the tip of his tongue and four almost identical white teeth, like posts in a picket fence.

A bee flying right near the purple flowers of a Mexican sage bush. The long, thin bundle of fuzzy flowers goes from the bottom right corner, curves up to the top, then dips back down. The background is blurred green leaves with a little bit of purple flowers.
