Animal Sightings

MOTHA FUCKIN AQUARIUM TRIP
ft. tumblr's Functional Interface flipping half my photos on their sides until you fullview 'em, but shhhhh

 

When I picked basil flowers for another wine mazerating project today I saw so many bee friends QuQ We get a lot of white-tailed bumblebees around here (FUZZYWHITEBUTTBALL SO CUTE) but I am pretty sure i saw a western Honeybee on the basil too and a bee i have never before seen! I think he or she must be a Carder Bee of some kind but people who know more about bees than me may know better. They were a bit lorger than the honey bee, very fuzzy and very distinctly pretty dark with an orange fuzzy butt. Like bright fiery orange.
but anyway I am so happy that bees like our garden. bless the fuzzballs.

 

Is it one like this? we get a ton of 'em every summer in the concrete blocks on one garden side.

 

Mmmmmaybe? if it was one of those it was probably a girl. we're more in the north so that'd be a pretty rare find :P

 

was it one of these ladies?



idk if you get them as far north as germany but they're pretty common here in the UK?

 

hm, last i checked, germany was south of the uk

 

In my defense, I have been sewing all day and geography wasn't my strong point to begin with ^^;;; Sorry XD

 

That's closer! i think she had a larger portion of orange but that may be individual variety! But the coloration matches more closely

 

Red-tailed bumblebee! :D We get them a lot in my garden - I suspect we might even have a small colony in our back wall - and I judge the queens to be one of the first real signs of spring. It ain't spring yet if the fluffy goth bees aren't out XDD

 

AH YES THAT LOOKS RIGHT!!! The other pictures I mean. In that case it may have been a drone :O A floofy good boy

 

FUZZY moth

 

Illegally cute

 

Parents neighbour doge


Edit: as we were about to drive to dinner, i noticed... doggo is tired

 

a while bacckk ( 1 week) i saw STORKS and HERONS and i got very excited

i also saw lil baby flounders, but most importantly tomorrow i am visiting my family since its very rural on the bus ride from the airport i may see reindeer herds moose or eagles!! will keep updated if i do

 

I went to my local country fair this weekend! Saw the usual fantastic array of doggos, cattes, as well as guinea pigs, mice, goats, sheep, and cattle :D Also, the falconry people who come every year had a new addition - a four-month old Great Grey owlet, who was basically a foot-tall ball of charcoal-coloured fluff with enormous yellow eyes XDD

Also, I got to pet their European Eagle Owl again, because she is made of chill for all her handlers like to joke about her eating small children XDD

Oh also my local reptile shop/photography business people made a showing, and I got chased by a tortoise the size of a pitbull XDD

EDIT: Owlet was about at this stage, slightly fluffier (my phone camera decided to malfunction all day, so I didn't get any pics :/) -



So wise. So elegant. So shocked XDDD

 

not my pic but look at these tiny baby sneks just born at the Houston Zoo



They are African bush vipers! Apparently there are TEN babbies but I guess only these three wanted a pencil ride.

 

They look fluffy with those tiny scales.

There's a murder of crows that hang out on the power lines outside my house. I think it's the same group because I go out once a month, sometimes less, but they say hi to me every time. I should feed them, since they seem to like me.

We also have an owl I never heard, but it used to hang out on the roof and shriek every time dad went outside to scare the shit out of him. Might still be hanging out but dad moved so there's nobody to complain about it.

 

Oh my lord they are cute babs

 

long term care home cattos! Feat. Smuggles the lorge calico, and a tortie(?) whose name i dont know

Spoiler: they snüze

smuggles was getting brushed by a staff person shortly before this. She just decided to stay flopped on the floor i guess
And this friend who i almost missed when we were leaving so my Nana could go have dinner. Look at those beanbs...

 

Smuggles is fluffy again!!

A warm welcome to the tortie with the cute white socks on....
