A female widow skimmer dragonfly hanging onto a blade of grass. The dragonfly has its wings spread wide and is facing upwards. Its body is mostly black. It has a gold stripe down its thorax, which breaks into two gold stripes along its side with black between them. The wings have dark black patches next to the body, then they are clear with veining showing, and at the outer upper edges a black spot on each of the four wings. The background is all green grasses.

I'm always amazed at how my mind wanders and imagination runs riot when wandering in woodlands. Case in point I think this scene looks like a "Face Off" between the young autumnal beech tree and leafless gnarled elder tree. #autumn #woodland #Scotland #photography #nature

Lulu told me I’d get more likes and moots if I posted more pictures of her.

Two humorous social media posts about cats believing their owners can control nature, like rain and sunlight.

My cats have this meow that means β€œplease come with me to fix this” after which they’ll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or β€˜empty’) food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the β€˜problem’, they look back at me, clear message.

What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my β€˜power.’ I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. β€œPlease fix this” they say. β€œPlease get rid of the wet”

β€œSilly kitty,” I say, β€œI can’t control the rain.” I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.

I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that.

But I can turn lights on and off in the house and he’s fairly certain I’m just not applying myself properly here.

ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)

A black cat is peeking at you from atop a box that's up high. If you keep looking at him he'll leap to his feet and jump into your arms with no warning. Be ready
