Spent last week in Puerto Rico on vacation, and came upon this in Old San Juan (historic district and a pretty fun tourism destination).

Such a cat thing to do, I love it.
One day I walked past my son's bunk bed to find Dexter peeking out from under the bed spread. OTOH, Inara found the laundry and was satisfied with a sleeve. 😂

There was a pair of red foxes in the yard this morning, hopefully scoping out a good location for their den.

It's not the best shot, since I didn't have my tripod handy at the time, so I took these freehand with a 3000mm lens.

I plant native flowers for pollinators. I love to watch bumblebees at dusk falling asleep on the flowers - so adorable. And if I get out early enough in the morning, to watch the late sleepers waking to start their day.
They love the blanket flower. Here's a bumblebee & a tiny sweat bee

Great shot! Yours are very cute. Ours (in the US) are sassy little characters, fun to watch. Attentive parents and no qualms about chasing off a predator many times their size.

Media, PA No Kings had a big turnout & lots of support from passersby. I wish I'd gotten more pics, but I was busy on the sideline. If my right thumb weren't in a brace, I'd have used markers, so I had to type stuff up to print & glue 😂 #NoKings
