I love our little yard #Bunny. Those antenna ears and wiggly nose. Aren't they the cutest 😍

Latest news in the Acorn Chronicles:

I found some acorns when I was out walking. Brought them home and put out a couple for squirrel.
This morning #BlueJay showed up to say 👋 and managed to fit one in his beak and carry it off. They are really hard. I hope Jay can crack the shell.

A pair of #coyotes trotted through the yard. Mated pairs often hunt together to support the family group and raise pups, but recent coyote sightings in the yard have been solo. It's a treat to see these fine looking animals.

Looks like a young #redFox. Haven't seen one around in a few months. But there have been more bunnies around recently. Correlation or causation?

This is a first!
I had never seen a #Bobcat in our suburban neighborhood before. Cropped the videos to better see this gorgeous feline.

Tuesday it rained ALL day! That 'never' happens in Colorado. But the #Raccoon family was happy to get out after the rain grubbing for earthworms.

Bon appétit mes amis! 🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🪱🪱🪱🪱

4 times normal speed. I hope they're not offended but I was amused.

That’s so sweet. Who knew that raccoons were interested in horticulture 🦝🌼

Clear view of lightning withing a thunderstorm cell that was building over Clark Dry Lake and Rabbit Peak on 9-18-25. As seen that evening from Coyote Canyon where the coyotes joined in for a howl fest for a while.

Today I had two people say lovely things about what I do here and my heart is full ☺️😊

It's a great way to bring a little joy to the world. Maybe give it a try

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Delighted to see #BlueJay back for a visit. We haven't seen them in a couple of months. Hope to see you again soon.
