top bird photographs of 2023. i didn't necessarily choose the best photos that i've taken, but rather the ones that i like the best. 2024 is the year i'm going to start heading out further and further and finding new habitats - most of what's surrounding and near to me is forest and broad-leafed woodland and, well, it shows. more wetlands, more deserts, more ocean, more grasslands
from left to right: african harrier-hawk, collared sunbird, juvenile burchell's coucal, mocking cliff-chat, white-fronted plover, golden-rumped tinkerbarbet, amethyst sunbird, scaly-throated honeyguide, diederick cuckoo, african oystercatcher, groundscraper thrush, cape batis, black-headed heron and tawny-flanked prinia
the way cale is just staring down at his gloves and stroking them with his thumb,,, i asked for playoff chaos but not like this!!! not like this :(:(:(:(
one of my favorite things, genuinely, about hockeyblr is how sometimes we go through these times of realizing/discovering something about a player or a team and we all collectively go feral about it. exhibit a? cale makar and his wonderful tits and ass
I hope this isn't weird but earlier I was thinking about how much good artists do in the world, and so many artists don't recognize it. You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. I've gotten a few commissions from you at this point, and every time I look at them I get so happy because, man, there was someone who took time to create something for me (I know I payed, but still!) Beyond that, I have seen when you draw little doodles just because people inspire you to eith their asks. You practiced your skill and you use it to make others happy and that's so valuable. You contribute a lot to this world just by bringing people's moods up, and I hope you recognize that. You're pretty awesome :)
After biting into the bottom of his cone, Wally glanced down at Dick’s shoes. They were a simple pair of black converse with white shoelaces. Wally looked to his own shoes, which were a bright pair of red runners with orange shoelaces. Wally hummed. Then an idea struck him. “Dude, let’s switch shoelaces,” he said.
Dick snorted, looking over at him with a quirked, questioning eyebrow. “What?”
“Yeah, let’s switch shoelaces!” Wally’s eyes lit up as he began to like the idea even more. “But only on one shoe. Let’s switch shoelaces on one shoe.”
“Why?” Dick laughed.

This is the story of how two separate strings of shoelaces were a part of crucial points in Dick and Wally's life.

You are literally so sweet, maybe I'll cry. I'm so glad after all this time you still like my thoughts and think so well of me, I'm just glad we get to be friends. You are absolutely right tho mostly I am a meme and very silly, I'm just glad that's had a positive effect on you at all, you've certainly had one on me. ; u ;
