Pleasant late summer weather yesterday. Bella shows off the smile of a dog awaiting her own hot dog. #dogsofbluesky

A gray staffy/pitbull mix dog is settled nicely on her mat in an outdoor seating area. She gazes up adoringly at the photographer knowing this person should reward her with a hotdog.

Our Bella enjoyed the Walk & Wag event for @hshv.bsky.social last weekend! #dogsofbluesky

It's Saturday but it's also #RespectYourCatDay so if you're ever sitting in front of a cannon with a cat near the firing mechanism then you better make sure you show it some respect. #Caturday A real life Tom & Jerry cartoon from our Photographic Archive.

A few more minuscule skzoos. 🌷

Ink painting on white bg. A few pink tulips bunched up. At the bottom right an even smaller pink pig bunny (dwaekki) in a green scarf holds a paintbrush, implying that he painted this. Jiniret must be a great teacher.

A small fennec fox curled up asleep clutching their tail. A big purple iris droops over them from the left creating some shade.

White ferret is carrying a few orange ranunculus in his mouth walking towards the left. He is pretty long, but they are longer and the stems drag on the ground.

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Scotland is rich in folklore, where even our trees are part of myths and legends! 🌳 The rowan tree was often planted at doorways as protection against enchantments. Ancient Druids considered it sacred, using its wood and berries for rituals and ceremonies. ✨ #NationalTreeWeek

Doggust 31: Shelties. Summer Cafe. 🌻🥐 #doggust #doggust2025

A little modern coffee window, with red wood frame, and lighter wood counter, window, and stools. Inside a dark brown sheltie works a bright blue espresso machine. She's holding the portafilter willed with ground coffee in her mouth. Outside the window, a lighter brown sheltie in a blue apron holds a plate with a croissant in her mouth (amazing self control), offering it to a french bulldog patron. Foliage is reflected in the windows, and casts light blue shadows on the wall. To the left is a potted lacy tree philodendron on top of a cinder block.

#fatbatfriday with three sweet scoops of microbats - aiming for that Neapolitan look with a Honduran white, Chocolate wattled, & Eastern red bat in a waffle cone (stacked by average max weights). If you need the reminder: have a drink of water, have a snack, and take a long, slow & deep breath in.

The semi-anagram within my Pied Butterfly bat from fatbatweek 2022the did not register until just now. I purposefully picked rainbow cake to celebrate queer diversity (along with 2023's Golden Gaytime + Gold tipped bat). Biodiversity and Social diversity - both matter immensely.

Today is #WorldDraculaDay because Bram Stoker's classic novel was first published #onthisday in 1897. It's also worth remembering that if Stoker hadn't come across the name Dracula in a book while researching in a LIBRARY the main character was going to be called Count Wampyr. 🧛‍♂️

Drawing some sea monsters today, and finding just the right home for them on the map.

A red sea serpent with little wings or fins. He might be a stupid dragon. His long, long tail curves several times before vanishing into the water behind him. You can't tell where in the world we are, as there are no landmarks. The serprent's tongue is yellow, like he's just popped a banana slug into his mouth. His expression kinda looks that way, too. His eyes are wide and his maw is open in something that looks like surprise. Like someone just pinched his butt in the middle of his quarterly earnings presentation.

His name is Speril, and he is an only child.

A green sea serpent curling around an old-timey sailing ship and chomping down hard. The ship is probably screwed. The serpent -- her name is Marmalayda -- is not. Her eyes are wide with anger and her thick body is likely to crush the ship. All of this is happening just of the coast of S. America, and Marmalayda's tail is arching over Patagonia before vanishing into the Pacific.
