Happy #Caturday! Ella is purring softly while making biscuits, although I don't think you can hear it in the recording. We hope you enjoy an equally relaxing activity this weekend! #Cats #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky
Fantastic shot!
A portrait of a short eared owl face
All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared.
You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. 🪶

Here’s a video showing just how dependent on the angle their color is. Blink and you’ll miss it.
A tiny saw-whet owl perched on a horizontal branch of a coniferous tree, with a larger branch just above its head, creating a frame. It is in profile view, but has its head turned and is looking directly at me with its yellow eyes
Whenever I'm lucky enough to find a Northern Saw-whet Owl, they are usually sound asleep. This one was awake and active, looking around, especially straight down - something on the ground had its interest. #birds #birding #HamOnt #owl
Wow. I've never been to the Everglades or the Keys. I hope to see both someday.

A Great Egret wading in shallow water with its long neck curved into an S-shape, yellow bill poised just above the surface. A near-perfect mirror reflection fills the bottom half of the frame. Dense green and brown vegetation lines the bank behind. Sandy Creek Park, Durham, NC. August 14, 2025.

Ooh, I love the colors here!
A male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) stands at the edge of a wetland pond. He has a glossy, iridescent green head, a narrow white collar, a chestnut-brown breast, pale grayish-brown body, a bright yellow bill, and orange feet. Sunlight reflects off ripples in the shallow water.

The Japanese Tiger Beetle 🪲 (Cicindela chinensis japonica)
🟢🔵⚫️🟠
Tiger beetles are tiny but fierce predators, known for their blazing speed and sharp mandibles.
They chase down ants, spiders, and other insects in open sandy habitats.

A bronze sculpture entitled Sfera con Sfera translates to Sphere in a Sphere. It depicts a sphere growing inside another sphere and symbolises the emergence of a new world from the old. It stands on a raised paved plinth engraved on the plinth is ' Sphere within Sphere 1982/83 - Arnaldo Pomodoro". It is golden metall with cut outs formed like countries.
I am usually more a fan of old arts, but this one catches me. The old and the new world, also in reflections. It is located in the grounds of the Trinity Colledge, Dublin. (ALT) #BlueSkyArtShow #Round
Beautiful shot!
