Baby Snails

 

Here are a few baby snails. They are so tiny and cute. The first little guy popped his head out to say hello and the other 2 are fast asleep!

Cats Eyes

 

To celebrate International Cat Day, which is today, I have posted photos of my four cats eyes. First up we have Abby she is the oldest cat 15.5 years old. Second is Abby's daughter Chiana, she is 14 years old. Third is Jethro the Bengal, he is 14 too and doing okay considering he has kidney troubles. Lastly the kitten Stitch, he is about 1. So let's all celebrate International Cat Day :-D I love my cats so much and would say I was a crazy cat lady!

She Leads

 

This female mallard seems to be in charge and is leading the way! Ducks are amazing, I really like them. They always seem to look so happy and carefree.

Ringlet Butterfly

 

This is a lovely Ringlet Butterfly.

Red Panda

 

This is a gorgeous red panda that I snapped at Edinburgh Zoo at the end of April.

Colourful Weevils

 

Three different coloured weevils. Just how cool do they look. I saw these all on the same day while walking along the canal. I was really pleased to see these colourful bugs.

A McFlurry Seagull

 

This seagull was eating a McFlurry. Someone had dumped it in a carpark and I was watching this gull eating it. I am not too sure he enjoyed it though. He caught me looking at him in the second photo. I was talking to him! Sadly littering is a BIG BIG problem over here but at least the seagulls benefit sometimes. From what I have read, birds are lactose intolerant so best not give them anything with dairy in it. 

Stitch

 

This is Stitch, the kitten we adopted on 10th October 2023. He will be nearly 1! Growning up so fast! He is such a big boy and a handsome fellow. We aren't actually sure of his birthday, when I took him to the vet she reckoned he was about 3-4 months old and that was in October. So he might already be 1 haha! I decided his birthday is 10th October as that is when he came home. He really is a little darling kitty,

A Crocus

 

I usually take photos of flowers if they have bugs on them, but I really liked the colours on this one and just how vivid they were!

Signs

My post for signs today is:

I took this last Christmas in Edinburgh. We were out for date night and visited the Christmas Market and I saw this project while we were walking! I thought it was pretty cool

A Cool Crow

 

This is one of my many crow friends. I fed him most of 2022 at the pond. I just love his face in the first photo, what a real cutie :-D

An Interesting Tree

 

I liked the look of this tree and liked capturing the shadows of the trees behind me too.

A Cute Ladybird

 

How lovely is this little ladybird? She was kind enough to let me hold her too! Good looking creature.

Two Friends Hanging Out

 

When I first took this photo I didn't noticed the little slug on the left! They are good friends by the looks of things.

Millipede

 

This is a little millipede! He is a cutie!

The Log Has Eyes

 

This log looks like a snake sneaking out of the bushes! 

Signs

Today's sign is:

 

I noticed this when I was out a walk with my friend. We were in the middle of the woods and someone had put this jacket hook up and the sign! I thought it was quite funny. People do some weird and crazy stuff.

Dinner Time

 

A busy little gathering. I put the seeds down and these birds appeared.

Following The Drops

 

This is a little beetle following the rain drops! I thought it was cute :-D

The Moon

 

It's the moon! I really like this sky. Sadly we don't often get blue skies in Scotland as it is always raining!!

A Tulip

 

This is a pretty tulip. I really like how vivid the colours are in the flower. I love how it looks inside, beautiful brushstrokes. A work of art :-D

The Snails Have Eyes

 

Just how mega cute are these little snails. I love how the eyes are on them. I am a big fan of snails and love to see the different patterns on each of them too.

I'd like to pay tribute to Bob Newhart who passed away yesterday at the grand old age of 94. He was a very, very funny man and I think his humour is timeless. I was first introduced to his Sir Walter Raleigh sketch in the mid 90s when I was a teenager and still find his stuff to this day. RIP Bob and thanks for all the laughs.

Insects On Dandelions

 

Dandelions are wonderful flowers. They help nature so much and they are pretty. Sadly a lot of people view these amazing flowers as weeds! Not me haha! As you can see, a whole bunch of different insects love them too. I drink dandelion tea and my daughter likes to eat them.

This was on a parcel I ordered at Christmas time. I thought it was such a good idea and made me smile :-)

Burnet Moth

 

This is a lovely Burnet Moth. It is black with little red spots. He was good enough to pose for me too.

A Little Fly

 

This is a little fly. I don't really get on so well with flies as they tend to enjoy eating me but my secret weapon is citronella oil, this keeps them away from me! It was so bad for me that I was everyone else's insect repellent, it was an ongoing joke when we used to go out walking with friends!!!
