Flowery Friday

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week we're back at the ABQ Botanic Garden to see what Summer flowers are blooming. 

The dragon, and it's castle that welcome you to the garden is covered in greenery. 

The Bee Balm, although a bit wilty, is so very colorful.

We think these lilies look like a sunburst.....

Especially with the sun behind them.

Mama's favorite, Lantana are looking fresh and pretty.

We have had some wonderful rainy days during this year' Summer "Monsoon Season". These rains have really helped  the Summer blooms stick around. 

These Straw flowers reminded us that it won't be long before Autumn gets here.

Roses are still blooming...

Orange ones....

Yellow ones....

....and beautiful red ones just for me and Aunty C!

We hope you enjoyed our look at the Summer blooms at the ABQ Botanic garden. Mama sure enjoys seeing all the beautiful colors!!

Here's to a weekend full of fun and enjoying nature!

Thankful Thursday

Today, on the last day of my birthday month, I want to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes they sent. I had a nice long walk on my birthday, and I even got a new collar, and some delicious treats.

Unfortunately, I also got this flamingo bath robe from Mama. 

 Now don't get me wrong, I love pink...and flamingos are cool

BUT

Wearing a dress after taking a bath??? 

Not my idea of a good time!

I sure hope Mama saved some of those birthday cookies, because the price of this photoshoot is going to be VERY expensive!

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes!

Rockin' Robin

 

Lately, Mama and I have been spending the early mornings sitting outside and watching the birdies play. Today we wanted to give you a peek at what we see. Here is some footage of a couple of cute Red Robins rockin' in the fountain!

Happy Neighborhood Travel

I can't believe this is the last week of July, Summer always goes by so fast! Since our ArCe travel season is over, I thought I would take you on another one of my walkies for Travel Tuesday this week. We never fail to see some fun things around the neighborhood!

We always see fun flowers along our morning walks! 

Here is a beautiful moon flower growing in front of our neighbors house.         

It's always nice to get my daily kitty fix.

We are always a little wary of each other.

 

Probably because of her next door neighbor....

TeeHeeHee...Isn't this the cutest Woo ever!!!

On the way home, I had Mama take this picture of the pretty red Crepe Myrtle for Aunty C!!

Morning walks sure do make me happy, thanks so much for coming along!

FFF on Nature Friday - Our Favorite Shark Story

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!! 

This week we're going back in time and featuring one of our favorite

Shark Week stories from 2020!

To wrap up Shark Week 2020,  we thought it would be nice to take you on a little walk/swim through a Coral Reef. Mama and Daddy say being under the ocean can be sooooo relaxing, we thought we should give it a try!

 SUNNY! Stop playing zoomies with the Porcupine Fish!!!

OK, so MOST of us thought it would be relaxing....

 Looks like Jacob is hanging out with a Trumpet Fish. Did you now they like to hang upside down to blend in with the soft corals..Cool huh?

Arty must be looking for the shark he was talking to the other day. Looks like the White Spotted Filefish may know where she is!

 

Oops!  I'm so sorry Miss Queen Angel,  I didn't know you lived here.

 Oh look, Arty found his shark friend. It doesn't look like she's too interested in being set up though, does she!

 SUNNY!!!!! Oh well, shark pups will be shark pups!

 Thanks for joining us for another fun Shark Week. 

It's always fun getting lots of treats  making Mama happy by dressing up!

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.

Thankful for Oceans Thursday

On this Shark Week edition of Angel Brian's(and Max's) Thankful Thursday, we are not only thankful for sharks, but we're thankful for the many oceans they call home!

There are sharks in every ocean on the planet.  We were lucky to live near Arty's Ocean (aka the Pacific Ocean) which is home to little sharks like the Spiny Dogfish to humungous sharks like the Great White shark!

70% of the planet is covered with Oceans, and 94% of the planet's life is found in these oceans....how cray cray is that??

It always amazes me and the pawrents that so much life can be found under the waves.

Of course, I would much rather experience the ocean from the comfort of my perch on the couch during Shark Week...BOL!

We are so thankful to have lived close to Arty's Ocean and the pawrents are VERY thankful they have been able to go under the waves and witness the beauty of the undersea world with their own eyes!!
