Turtle Tuesday Happies

So Mama made her way to the ABQ Zoo last week for her Spring visit. This visit she concentrated on animals that are in natural habitats. Today, we have a few pictures and a short video of

a humungous turtle!

It's fancy name is a Galapagos Giant Tortoise. They can live to over 100 years old in the wild and even longer in captivity.

He really enjoys eating grass....

A WHOLE LOT of grass(along with fruit and other greens)! They can reach over 900 pounds tho, so I guess he has to eat a bunch of grass!

Here is a short video of him eating...

Just look at his looooong neck!

Thanks for joining us for a look at the Giant Galapagos Tortoise.

We hope it put a little happy in your day :-)

We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the

Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

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 have a pink peek at the beautiful show our crab apple tree put on this Spring.

It started with tiny fuchsia colored buds hiding in the leaves...

...that bloomed into beautiful pink blooms!

The amazing thing is, this year, they did this in a matter of a couple of days!!

The see-saw weather (one day it's hot, the next day it's cold) may have had something to do with it. No matter the reason, Mama sure was glad we were home to see these pretty pink flowers bloom.

Nature truly is amazing, and we are lucky the Spring Bloom season seems to have adapted to the crazy weather.

We hope all our friends on this side of the equator are enjoying some Spring Blooms, and hope those down under are having a nice Autumn.

Wherever you are, we hope you get to enjoy 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.

Thankful for Mama Walks and Sherlock

This week I am very thankful that Mama and I are back to our walkies!

It seems like 87 years since she has taken me for a walkie without Daddy (if you click on the picture it should take you to a short walkie video).

Not only are we going for walkies....we are going for "take time to smell the flowers" walkies. This is mostly because Mama likes to cater to my every whim...but also because she found a new podcast called Sherlock & Co. that she is really enjoying. YAM Aunty recommended it a couple of times (click HERE to view her post). Mama finally gave it a listen says it is both intriguing AND hilarious!

As long as it keeps us walking longer, she can listen to as many episodes she wants.

Thanks to YAM Aunty AND Mama for helping keep me walking during the week (and thanks to Daddy for still taking me on the weekends!!).

Thank you to Maxwell and Angel Brian for hosting the

Thankful Thursday Blog Hop

Yellow is the New Black

Today, we want to introduce a new friend. We have never seen a Yellow-headed Blackbird in the backyard. TC caught him attending the Birdy Circus during its backyard run.

Just look at what a cheerful and handsome guy he is:
