Shadowy Woodchuck

Please Mr. Punxsutawney Phil...

Some of us have had quite enough of winter.




From Wikipedia:

Common names for the groundhog include chuck, wood-chuck, groundpig, whistle-pig, whistler, thickwood badger, Canada marmot, monax, moonack, weenusk, red monk, land beaver and, among French Canadians in eastern Canada, siffleux.

EDIT: He saw his shadow, predicting an early spring.

Brooding

It's time for Sunday Selfies!

Chili Bruce took a second from his perusal of the backyard at the backdoor, to snap this selfie.

He saw nothing out there, since it's frigid and every critter is snuggled deep in their nests or burrows.

He looks a bit Heathcliffy, no?

Love the way the lighting shows off his various fur colors.


Used Lunapic, Dark filter, to artify this selfie.

Turnaround

January 31 is National Backyard Day!


Backwards Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on January 31. 

On this day, norms get flipped. 

Everyday activities are done in reverse.

It’s all about challenging conventions. 

It’s also about having fun by doing things differently than we usually do.

Ideas:

Wear your clothes inside out.

Eat dessert first.

Walk backwards!

😹😹😹

It's Caturday!

Da Boyz, looking cute in the big corner bed.

I used Prisma filter Roy.
