Pain

Upon further inspection, it was the tailpiece that broke

Mandolin with a broken E string.

It's so fun to replace a string, get it all tuned up, and have it snap again overnight for no reason 🙃

This fella was very upset that I was in my own yard minding my business. Just look at those angry tail wiggles!

I watched Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome for the first time last night, gotta say I was not expecting that much saxophone.

Bet the pool is gonna feel amazing after all that driving

I want to wish all the furries a fond welcome to Las Vegas, enjoy your stay :3

That's so cool! Red Rock is one of my favorite places on earth, I immediately recognized those mountains.
I was hiking there a little over a week ago and there was a spot between Ice Box Canyon and Pine Creek that was absolutely FILLED with blooming globemallows.

Gorgeous views from the Pine Creek Trailhead, at Red Rock, NV. I highly recommend driving the scenic loop if you're ever visiting Las Vegas.

Looks like Red Rock, NV ❤️

I hear the view from the sixth floor is killer

Just some light rabies for a nightcap lol

I got a book with a ton of tiki drinks a few months ago, so far my favorites are the Mai Tai, Saturn, and Aku Aku. Painkiller is on my list to try.

Omg I love tiki drinks

Photo of the lunar eclipse, March 3rd 2026

Wrecked my sleep for this, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
I wonder what a lunar eclipse looks like from the moon's perspective.

I really love your mask, the detail on the fur is fantastic. I also wear an alpaca poncho with mine, they're so cozy.

I made a tail for the first time! It's the one with the gray tip, I'm very happy with how it turned out. The tail above it is one I bought in 2015 and used as reference.

Desert foxes, for no particular reason :)

So wonderful, I love it <3!

This Celestial Frame belongs to FritoFox, thank you!

Phylogenetic tree of the genus Vulpes, aka "True Foxes". Arctic Foxes (V. lagopus) and Desert Kit Foxes (V. macrotis) share a direct common ancestor 2.5 million years ago

I still think it's funny that Arctic foxes and desert kit foxes (me) are closely related.

10/10 fox right there

Found this fella eating seeds from this dried sunflower. I believe they are a Lesser Goldfinch (Spinus psaltria), but if you ask me I think they're great.

Charging out eyes in the dark

FRITO LOOKING SO GOOD

Mystery Frito eyes

Some pics of @fritofox.bsky.social and I at the rave, from MFF. I danced my tail off💕

Thank you! It was our first time wearing them to a con.

Oh hell no I would be so devastated!

Great read! Its not my most listened genre, but Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, and Tyler Childers are also some modern progressive/leftist artists worth exploring!

Hell yeah we are

#MFF has been a blast, I haven't attended a full convention like this since 2019. It's been exhausting but I had such a great time being a silly critter, seeing cool people and artwork, and yapping on the skybridge.

A view NE from the start of the Birdsong Loop at DNWR. There's a stone-lined path to the left and on the right a large Creosote bush.

The Corn Creek visitors center has this grassy field, it's probably my favorite spot at the center because there are often several different kinds of birds hanging out here.

Male Costa's Hummingbird

According to my search, this is a female Variegated Meadowhawk dragonfly. They apparently prey on mosquitos so I'm glad to have them in my area!

So I got a "new" camera (Nikon D850), a big upgrade coming from a D750. I'm trying to get the hang of using it now that I have a week off work. Here are some evening photos from the Corn Creek Visitor Center at the DNWR, and a couple neat creatures from my neighborhood. More info in the alt text.

I'm reading an old book called "The Voice of the Coyote" by J. Frank Dobie, and I'm loving these drawings. The book credits Olaus J. Murie for the illustrations.

Finally, some kit fox representation!
