An American Green Tree Frog with golden eyes on a white porch rail. Showing the adhesive discs on his right hand.
My little green friend is back! A cold front is coming through and it’s windy, so he picked a porch rail behind a plant stand. Very sheltered. And he’s showing the discs on his fingers! 🐸

They’ve been doing amazing things with Honeycrisp varietals. What I want to see is something with the bakeable texture of a Granny Smith, but the flavor of a Honeycrisp.
That’s a thousand dollar idea right there.
Thanks for your reply 😊
Thank you 🥰💖

Whenever you go to Finnland you have to come home with a new Moomin cup. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

The senior black and white cat assuming a tidy loaf position on the blue rug, paws tucked away most winningly, with bonus owl ears on account of not liking to have her photo taken at this time of night.

A little black cat sprawls on the windowseat, with one round cheek smooshed into the cushion so firmly that she looks pretty much exactly like the melting-face emoji, except made of black velvet.

Not sure if it’s a Robson one, but nice little detail of the York Odeon’s transformation into Everyman – they’ve kept the (presumably listed) signage, but only the E is illuminated.
The guy who takes his budgie to the vet? First a cat sniffs at it. And then a Labrador and finally the bird cage is moved into the waiting room. He then gets a huge bill and asks them to itemise it. "Well, it's 500 for the CAT scan, another 500 for the lab tests, and 1000 for the PET scan"
I've not heard the PET variant before 😁 I'll tell the radiologist at my PET scan tomorrow if I get the chance!
My three concerns on entering a public loo:
1) Is there a cubicle free?
2) Does that cubicle have loo paper?
3) Has the previous occupant left it clean and flushed?
What's in other cubicles' occupants' pants doesn't factor into my thoughts for a nanosecond.
Superb headline on the actual article: The tiger who came for CT
As a veteran (but not veterinarian) of several CTs now, what I'm wondering is how they get the animals to breathe in, hold their breath, and breathe out at the right times? Do they have special animal interpreters?

Just say ON
And this should be painted white and be an art gallery
We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.
We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.
