On Day 31 of #inktober #wildtober, all the animals celebrated the puppy in the right hand corner getting an award. It got a bit chaotic.

Day 29 of #inktober was a leopard teaching a lesson, and that was followed by a kangaroo with a vacant pouch on Day 30.

Days 25 and 26 of #inktober feature a hot camel and a cool wolf.

Yesterday Octopus got rowdy, much to the dismay of Cat. Dog had mixed emotions. Day 24 of #inktober2025

Find the motive, find the killer?

Days 7 and 8 of #inktober include a monkey investigating a tidal pool, and a reckless owl.

Started Inktober using the official prompt list and a second list called #wildtober by @_smileysaili_ Using Pigma pens, Derwent Inktense pencils, and a few gel pens. #inktober2025

Two ways of seeing the spot on my tile floor.

So dry that the trees are dropping leaves in a self-preservation attempt. We need rain so badly! #drought

The country may be descending into hell, but my raspberry patch doesn’t care. Pie fresh from the oven smells so good! #raspberrypie

Gorgeous quilt!❤️

Beautiful!

Sounds like a good way to spend the time. Polka dots are fun!

No joke. Between the teeth and the back feet those 🐰 will mess you up.

Bunnies take no 💩. They only give it. #nokings
