The Numbers Game #99. Please Play Along! Nov 17, 2025

30 Replies
Duets,
On the last day of 2016, some citizens will surely be taking a swing at one of these pinatas. This one is similar to the one I bought the day before the election and which I still haven’t really dealt with.
I told Little Duck smoking would stunt his growth, but he never listens to me.

This is one of my very favorite photos..perhaps because I see so few sunrises. This one I saw on the road driving East from San Juan Cosala to Ajijic.

Last on the Card, Jan 31, 2025

I am so happy that it is “Last on the Card” time again. I took these three photos and could not figure out what category they’d fit into…until Forgottenman reminded me it was time for Bushboy’s Last on the Card prompt.

I had never seen this  butterfly before. It was sitting on the ledge above Morrie’s cage and I saw it when I was giving them their morning meal. It seemed not to be able to fly. I tried gently moving it to make sure the feet weren’t stuck to the ledge and also carefully spread its wings a bit to make sure they weren’t stuck together by cobwebs or some other environmental danger. I then took it out and put it on a plant and never saw it again. I hope it flew away. It is a Smyrna blomfildia, The Blomfild’s beauty, a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae  and among other locales, is found from Mexico down to Panama. Beautiful markings.

As for the other photos, if you look carefully, you’ll see what has captured Morrie’s interest. They remained like this for some minutes. No barking, only occasional meowing. I had already fed them both so don’t know what other than curiosity caused Ollie to come and observe us from the roofline.

The silhouette of the trees and bougainvillea was actually the last on the card, so had to include it.  The others were second and third to last.

Resting Places for Cellpic Sunday, Jan 5, 2025

I saw the first fellow at the Open Mike I read at yesterday. This fellow’s human had taken the cushion off her own chair and given it to him.  The second pair was seen in their cushy bed atop the cabinet in my open-sided garage when I returned home.  All’s right in the animal world.

Oops! I forgot to include my favorite photo in my earlier response to this prompt. I just have to give it its own post now. I love how cats always seem to set up poses…this one a group one.
