Nature Friday 2025 Favorites

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Does anyone else get confused about this week of the year. I mean, Daddy stays home for a day, goes to work for a day, then stays home for two days....it's CRAZY! Anyway, for the first Nature Friday of 2026, we put together a few of our favorite nature pictures and videos of the year.

As you might expect, one of Mama's favorite nature moments was being able to listen the ocean back in January 2025 

Spring 2025 brought pretty pink hyacinths to our backyard.

Summer 2025 was our favorite season:

 It  brought mountain views....

Water lilies.....

and pretty butterflies!

The Autumn leaves were beautiful this year....

...and we couldn't end our 2025 Nature Favorites without the relaxing sound of the Sasebo Garden waterfall!

Thanks for joining us on our stroll through our 2025 Nature Friday favorites. Here’s to another year of wonder, wild moments, and the beauty waiting for us in 2026!

We hope all our friends get out and experience some nature this weekend.

As of 6:30pm USA MST Linky tools seems to be having an issue showing link images, the links are still working and hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Happy New Year!!

HAPPY 2026!!!

We hope this year brings all our friends love, happiness and lots of treats.

We are so very thankful for everyone of you and look forward to following all of your 2026 adventures!

A Morning at the Fountain

Mama found a nice picture from last year of me with the fountain to celebrate all the nice relaxing videos we get of all kinds of birds stopping by to get wet their beaks, and dunk their feathers. On this last day of 2025, here is a nice relaxing video of a December morning at our fountain:

The fountain is one of the birds most favorite places to visit in our backyard and we always are so happy to see all types of birdies getting along together when they visit. 

With the colder weather arriving, we will be finding new and interesting places to view wildlife in our backyard as we give the fountain its annual Winter break.

Happy Travel Tuesday from the Archives

  This week, we'll be doing a bit of "archive diving" while we get ready for the brand new blog year. Today, as we plan for the 2026 travel year, we have a post featuring some of our favorite places of the past:  

 

I've seen giant sea monsters in Morro Bay, CA

We've hiked the trails all over Northy North California.

(this is Benbow, CA)

I've taken ussies with the dinosaurs of Cabezon, California

Driven halfway across the US from the Northy North California coast to live the high desert of New Mexico.

Enjoyed sun puddles in the "Other Las Vegas" (the one in NM)

Enjoyed the town of Creede, CO..

Heard the train whistles in Chama, NM

Enjoyed the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park

and slept with the bears in Raton, NM.

We have been so very blessed to have visited soooooo many places. The pawrents have most of our travel planned for the next year. I hope they share where we're going soon, I can't wait to see where ArCe takes us in 2026!!

Archive Aaaws

 This week, well be doing a bit of "archive diving" while we get ready for a brand new blog year....

Here is a favorite of both ours and Mama's. It's one of our favorites because it's one of our first New Mexico snow days and Mama just likes catching photos of us together while we aren't looking at her.

We're also joining Comedy Plus for the

Bellagio Conservatory on FFF/NF

  

Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!  Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!! 

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. I should have been suspicious when Rosy said I could host FFF/Nature Friday this week. It seems Mama thinks it would be nice to show everyone the pretty flowers and trees she and Daddy saw at the Bellagio Conservatory when they visited over Thanksgiving weekend. You remember, the weekend we had to stay home?? 

Anyways......

They saw some big Howliday trees...

...and even bigger ornaments!

These guys were all over the place. Mama says they are called nutcrackers....

This big guy must crack some giant sized pecans!!!

Humans sure are weird sometimes...

 

Mama told me this gingerbread house was her favorite part of the exhibit.

Apparently, it was very detailed. I asked her if she had tasted it and she said it wasn't actually made of Gingerbread...

Sheesh....like I said, humans are weird!

I think I'm with Daddy, and would have enjoyed the Christmas train a LOT more than an inedible gingerbread house.

Thanks for hanging out with me and looking at Mama's pictures. If you would like to see more of the Bellagio's Conservatory, click HERE

We hope our friends get out to see some Nature this weekend!!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.
