    My post count has been stuck on 54 for years but I have posted hundreds of times. No matter, not that important.
    I don't know how this wasp intends to stuff this huge spider that it caught into its nest. Must be a big nest.

    This robin seems to be a happy camper, but only a bit afraid of the unexpected visitor with the camera . . .

    (this one had bitten 4 people and was therefore caught and euthanized)

    (this may be just an illustrative picture on the municipality's website accompanying an awareness article on foxes in the city, about 30 to 50 live there they assume, but it doesn't say what date that was estimated or posted)

    Intéressant.
    I did not know foxes have vertical oval pupils.
    Beautiful animal.

    In 2018, I joined a river cruise to view the Tall Ships, moored in Greenwich Reach. To my delight, the Santa Maria Manuela was there. This video details her restoration.
    These are my photos. Ignore the incorrect dates.

    Dogs don't seem to be engaged a lot in this oval pupil thing, but a lot of problems pop up for me here . . . :eek:

    I've always wondered what color my eyes are, but now from the dog link I've learned I have central heterochromia . . . :confused:
