Icarus

Lemme ee if I can manage to post this Imgur clip ????

Icarus

I blew it once again.  That is definitely not the clip that I intended.  The clip showed a crow who was riding down a sloped roof.  The clever bird was using a jar lid for a sled.  He coasted down and at the end, he ripped the jar lid,
 went back to the top of the slope to do his snowboard thing again.

The video that the post shows, is for a whole other subject, like politics.  I apologize for my continual ineptitude.

Icarus

Here I go again with a vid that could give us pause. It is after all, about animals in or lives.

tracks!

i get all kinds of tracks in the mud lane leading to my warehouse



look at ^^^this

its summer and the muddaubers are buzzing around in my kitchen and living room, making little pottery nests to stuff full of spiders and caterpillars. but they have to get the mud from someplace.

so they get it here



lots of little tiny wasp footprints, where they gather a little ball of mud to stick on the wall in my kitchen.

not just wasps. a possum came by last night too



the possums have opposable thumbs that stick out on both front and hind feet, and the hind foot looks like a little human baby


ill see if i can get some better pictures. i see em all the time
 we still have the coon on the porch every night. havent seen her babies myself

I like the arrangement of the group in the first photo. I assume you gently coaxed them into those poses to get that pleasing composition? The photos are giving me ideas for abstract paintings, provided you wouldn't object to that.
