Lovely and uber cute.

Is it still occupied or merely shells?

That is a very smart woody. And a dipper is always a joy. Going a bit green here for the otters.

Each one a masterpiece.

Deterring Russia is the only effective long-term strategy for dealing with Moscow.

It’s about making the Kremlin see a simple reality every day: war comes at too high a cost. Deterrence must work not just until the end of the current conflict, but far beyond -

You talent is inherited by the look of it. Wonderful.

Great colours, definitely better than plain white. Wonderful.

A coffee table that converts so you can use to eat or work off. The table top is raised showing a rather untidy interior. In one corner a black and white cat is fast asleep, preventing the tabletop being lowered to its closed position.

While I had my lunch, Summer found somewhere different to sleep.....

Coots think they are swans or geese. Happy to go head to head with anyone, no matter their size.
Lovely.

Well said.

That's ok, there are no fruit trees outside of mine.

Never mind. Just piqued my interest.

Any news?

I thought the yellow made a nice change to the red and green....

I was very happy watching the birds. Something I didn't see today but that sister and hubby have is a juvenile Jackdaw. Anne has noticed the adults taking food away for several weeks.

Some parents need to be sterilised and have their children removed to a safe place where they can grow to maturity.

I think he protests way to much.
If he's so fond of women why is his cabinet empty of them?

Brilliant!

Love it. Would love some of these outside my window.

3 male 1 female Blackcap.
4 Goldfinch sex unknown.
1 male 2 female Greenfinch.
3 male 2 female Blackbird.
5 Bluetit.
1 Greattit
7 Starling.
1 Woodpigeon.
Assorted feral pigeon.
This was in 2 minutes after fresh seeds and mealworm.

Superb.

Possibly the cutest woodpecker I have ever seen.

Totally agree. Parliamentary body to set reasonable money for election to be awarded to every party. Any not used to be returned.
Any million/billionaires wanting to donate to a political party can do so abroad. Any party found accepting donations to be suitably dealt with.

Gorgeous drawings.

Yellow legs for a change

A gentle day.

Rain gathered in the hollow of an empty snail shell. On impulse, I rested a few daisies within it, their faintly pink-tinted rays catching what light the afternoon allowed.

Placing brightness inside absence — a small restoration of balance.
