What's outside of your picture window today?

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Nov 25, 2020

As we get ready for the real winter to show up and COVID-19 still playing a major part in our lives I like to spend moments of my day de-stressing about what's going on in the world today. All I have to do is look out the window and observe some of natures beautiful creatures, how they interact and ponder how small it makes my troubles seem. Sometimes I may even get the opportunity to take a photo or two. How about you? Anything going on outside of your window(s) that you want to share?

For those members that have the ability to size your photos before you upload them to the discussion, may I suggest using the following sizes:
– 500 x 335 pixels (landscape)
– 210 x 210 pixels (square)

A bunny is cute and very calming no matter the size. Good animal to be next to. 😀

@avmcbellar It was comforting. I mentioned it to my neurologist who told me I’d likely have hallucinations. He was so interested and then said that his nickname as a child (in Ireland) was Bunny! LOL His hair does sorta look like my large bunny wabbit. 😂

Lol, no wonder the hallucinations @loribmt! You should have a real house wabbit. The flemish giants are truly the gentle giants of wabbits at over 20lbs.

Dear ArtistO1: Peach here. I also have lost a cat (He was ferell when I adopted him. No matter how much I had the fence adjusted he could not be contained. So when I watched him get out again I stayed outside to get some sun. A few minutes later I heard a horrible noise from a Bobcat and Harry (the cat) never returned, I still think about him but I look at it this way: Harry had a limp which the doctor could not fix and was always pushing his head onto whatever which also could not be fixed. So I talk to Harry up in heaven and tell him how happy I am for him that he does not have these two pains any more.

@peach414144. Hi Peach
That's a lovely way to look at it. Having chats with our uncontainable ferel felines. I really miss Leonardo (Leo) and so often imagine the terror he must have gone through. Your idea is better, imagining Leo and Harry in heaven, free of all predators, and purring together as they listen to our earthly messages to them! 😇

I have watched a vulture pick up a squirrel, rise high up and then drop it. This kills the squirrel and then the vulture picks it up and flies away. Deadly but they need to eat to.
