Rabbits use a laser pointer to lure a cat to pounce on it. The bunnies hide behind a small table. As the cat is distracted, two cornered mice take the chance to run in the other direction.

secluded path
only a bush warbler’s song
follows me

spring picnic
a cherry petal
settles between us

My black cat Pixie sitting with Spring flowers in the garden. Tiny Pink cyclamen, and pale pink white hellebore wide open flowers. It's outside and the shrubs behind her have few leaves.

1st April haiku for springy hopes.

April Fools, spring rain
Politicians ranting loud
Me, I watch the sparrow.

Global warming fear?
Am I a mere April Fool
To enjoy bright sun?

Clocks now gone forward
Lighter evenings at last
Can moods be lifted?

Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance It’s been a year since the Supreme Court's decision that accelerated the rollback of trans rights in the UK. It’s been a difficult year, but it’s also been a year of coming together and fighting back....

Almost 5,000 have taken action to force the government to act against transphobia.

Will you join them?

Digital painting of an opening pink magnolia bloom next to an unopened bud contrasted against a clear blue sky. The bloom has large petals which are touched by shadow here and there bringing out a deeper pink color.

An ethereal pink magnolia blossom courtesy of a lovely photo from @taterdash.bsky.social for today's #DrawAFlowerADay. The original photo had more blooms in the background but I liked the contrast of focusing in on one branch against this pure blue sky.

A gleaming Frog stands with grumpy Toad on Toad's front porch. From "Spring" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*

What you see is the clear warm light of April. And it means that we can begin a whole new year together, Toad.

Four bunnies play cards around a table, using red checker pieces and some acorns as chips. They are in a small parlor, and one of the bunnies is nibbling his cards.

Daily bunny no.3295 is feeling lucky

Bun. Is Done.

The crows in our trees spend a lot of time yelling and I'm not sure what they're yelling about but it must feel good to just yell at the top of your lungs

A circular puddle on a muddy woodland path surrounded by trees & greenery. Reflected in the water a deep blue sky & nearby trees. The pathway is covered in dappled light, with darker shadows from the nearby tree branches. Around and on the puddle’s surface are tiny white blossom petals dotted like stars in a night sky.
