(The pictures in the mini-frames aren't mine either, just the generic stuff that came with the frames. Even the one that looks like a mouth about to suck a dick. THAT'S a cat's paw. *embarks on quest for good printer*)

My mum and I were out walking and she was the first to spot this squirrel sitting... uh... 1-2 meters from the path (which ran along the edge of the wood). And the squirrels in the area aren't half-tame like they are in some places. WTF! :D Well, I hope s/he wasn't brain damaged or something. :p

(Pine was the first kind of twig I thought about, anyway...? :p ) Click here for a few more shots.

I was walking home from a shroom hunt and spotted something on my fleece scarf: "Hmm, twig? poop? ARGH CATERPILLAR DO NOT SQUISH!" :D S/he stayed still for a long while, like a good twig, and was returned to the woods.

Totally looks like: This here non-aerodynamic-looking train type... that carried me on my most epic trips... :q

20120622_16 ... HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BIKE COVERED WITH SO MANY CLAMS & SPONGES? :O | Berlin, Germany

nobody@flickr.com (ratexla) — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 08:59:12 -0800

ratexla posted a photo:

At least they look like clams and sponges... This was next to a canal.

Random: Wiki on sponge-use by dolphins: "A report in 1997 described use of sponges as a tool by bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay in Western Australia. A dolphin will attach a marine sponge to its rostrum, which is presumably then used to protect it when searching for food in the sandy sea bottom. The behavior, known as sponging, has only been observed in this bay, and is almost exclusively shown by females. A study in 2005 concluded that mothers teach the behavior to their daughters, and that all the sponge-users are closely related, suggesting that it is a fairly recent innovation."
