This week’s theme is: Middle
spending forever
stuck in the middle with you
facing life head on
Probably just a sign of how much internet time I’ve spent looking up Jeremy Renner stuff, but this video was the first thing I thought of when I saw this week’s theme. I love the glasses on the dog, and the girl sleeping in the corner.

dishes and laundry
cleaning and gardening too
chores left unfinished
as I sit here distracted
wandering the world wide web

These guys roamed the bottom of the Erie Zoo exhibit they shared with a two-toed sloth who slept high in his crate and golden lion tamarins who bounced everywhere in between.
I keep saying I want to start a posting hub for Mammal Monday, so here is my first test run. Please link in and help me see if this works!

This is the bird I was tracking at Misery Bay in Presque Isle State Park. I, my birding partner, and friends at the National Aviary have all identified it as a trumpeter swan. When I submitted the observation in to eBird, they identified it as a tundra swan. Either way, a lifer for me!

Sadly, aptly named. I took a tumble walking back to the car from this shot. Still icing the knee. Although I did manage to not damage the binoculars, the camera, or the birding book I was carrying at the time.
