When you've earned trust, you have earned the right to sit with new friends
But if the new friends sit high in a tree where you cannot reach, do you forfeit the right?
Not if the new friends go out of their way to take you to a special tree they know where you can also sit, and patiently walk with you rather than easily fly

Three good things
Today
-
We managed to trim the claws on all three of our cats which means my back and shoulders and jeans won't be scratched and shredded for a while.
-
We had another visit (seen on the trail cam) from the handsome young stag who has been hanging around at night. And We didn't catch the bear on the trail cam (that's a good thing, so I guess that makes 4). I'll try to upload to the first comment bit out might be too big.
-
On our walk this afternoon a chipmunk posed nicely for me as long as I wanted, so I took way too many photos.

La tortuga carey no cambia de color como un camaleón.
Su caparazón registra el año.
A medida que cada escama superpuesta crece, la melanina se deposita en ciclos. Un estudio cubano sobre tortugas carey inmaduras descubrió que las manchas más oscuras se forman con mayor frecuencia en los meses más fríos, y tonos ámbar más cálidos cuando el mar se calienta.
No es un anillo del humor.
Un libro de contabilidad lento escrito en queratina.
En peligro crítico de extinción. Cazada por ese mismo caparazón durante siglos.
Sigue nadando.

It should be outright illegal to own non-domesticated animals (at the very least): snakes, lizards, birds, etc.
