black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

This absolute stunner is a female Pink-necked Pigeon. Fairly common and so doesn’t get the attention that its beauty demands. Look at her eye.

So much fun to have our gray #fox visitor again! Second video (not posted) shows him at our watering station with a gazillion nectar-eating bats flying around him.

Okay we've got a Unipiper sighting, but.
Listen.
It's not a true Portland event til Caesar the No Drama Llama shows up.

The Oregonian @oregonian.com · 9h

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

More on how the tone of Portland's protests has shifted: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Evening little Sparrow

#birds
#nature

Avoiding the big birds and other predators by keeping to the Underbrush and waiting until others have gone off to their sleeping place, little Song Sparrow blends in...

When I stay still long enough, the sparrow gets a little braver. This evening at the farm. Oregon USA.

Years ago I gave my kid a copy of THE CATS OF TANGLEWOOD FOREST by Charles DeLint and they read it in a day and loved it. What I didn’t know is that they STILL HAVE IT and they’re reading it again now and I’m like awwww I gave you a comfort read awwww

It’s a very specific happiness

Since I’m the cartoon guy, I would be remiss for not pointing out that Groppler Zorn was played by Michael Bell. He was Prowl on Transformers, Devlin from Devlin, Handy on The Smurfs, Reynaldo on Rubik, Duke on GI Joe, Allstar on Snorks, and others.

A chance encounter

illustration inspired by the Scandinavian fairytale, "Bride of the Lindworm". A prince in the form of a lindworm perches on a moss-covered rock and peers curiously at a shepherdess from across a dark pond. The woman reaches toward him. The scene is set in a dark forest.
