Friendly Animals of America

I love her.

What better way to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon?

mommy bunny and baby bunnies! 

bunny!

Here are some pigeons eating popcorn on New York Avenue. This is almost directly across from the NY Avenue Presbyterian Church. The weather yesterday was so nice that I wandered the streets for a while in the afternoon. I sat for a while on a bench near where these birds were enjoying their lunch. This photo shows a group of pigeons munching away, but when I initially walked up a group of smaller brown birds had congregated there.

There were a great many friendly animals roaming the streets this weekend! I can’t wait to share more photos (spoiler: White House animals!) Hopefully we’ll have some more illustrated images up soon – animals you wouldn’t necessarily see in a city but might if you wandered around a farm or woods!

I encountered this little guy a couple of weekends ago. Someone had dropped a chunk of bread in the middle of the street, right around D and 4th I think, and he was going after it relentlessly. I don’t know if it was hunger that made him unfazed by the cars zipping around him, or if he’s such a city-savvy animal! Either way, I admire his tenacity!

My sister had a baby last summer and bought this swing. Before the baby was born, Tigger would curl up in it and take her kitty naps. Isn’t she cute? After the baby was born, Tigger had to share, but now the baby is too big for the swing so Tigger has it for herself again

the price of inattention: 

i’m sorry! i tried to take pictures of these dogs but wasn’t sharp or attentive or fast enough. the dog in the last photo was really cute! he’s a great pyrenees, much like Belle in the Japanese cartoon Belle & Sebastian based on the French cartoon books! So adorable! From a distance he looked like a giant polar bear.

The Great American Horse is so friendly, it lets humans ride around on it. HA! What a sap. Some horses are also compulsive gamblers.
