Photographer: (to bunny) "Do you remember the time you laughed so hard you snorted grass blades out your nose?" Bunny: "Don't remind me, that was not pleasant." Photographer: "I got a photo of it." Bunny: "WHAT??" Photographer: "And I posted it." Bunny: "Oh no!" #photography #bunny #rabbit

Wonderful composition!
Just wait until you hear about using Saint names for each specific day of the year.
"I'm the prettiest!" they say.

Your 16 oz tub of Astatine flavored ice cream becomes five 2 oz containers of various isotope creams by the time you get home
Does this explain the Mary Celeste mystery? (Although I want to believe in the Dave Allen skit) #DaveAllenAtLarge

Very beautiful shot!

I'm not going to be able to see them together without thinking about your comment ;-)
Congrats! 🥳
Nice morning light!
Absolutely! It hurts alot to read about the magnetic detonators (the crews knew they didn't work, but the higher-ups refused to listen).
I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Sending you best wishes 🫶
Very nice!

At least with tulipmania you get nice flowers 🌷
I guess I'm too Dim to get the reference.
It's time for another mid-week cute bunny. #photography #bunny #nature #rabbit
"On the other hand" ;-)
I could probably guess based on their stance (Jones is more balanced for potential pass blocking), but geez, Mount Washington looks more like a tackle.
Have you ever taken time to ponder deeply why we say "busy as a bee" but not "busy as a mallard" or "busy as a snail"? No? Neither did this hungry bee (who was too busy to comment on the matter). #photography #bee #nature #thistle #MacroMonday #ManicMonday
Enjoy your time with him! That's more important, we'll always be here ;-)
Young Paraffin Dragons moonlight as birthday cake decorations that light up on request
Astatine Dragon (Tends to spontaneously explode in a radioactive fireball that puts the Phoenix to shame, producing lots of little isotopes dragons in the process. This is probably the most painful method of reproduction ever, and explains why they are very rare.)
Piranha Etchant Dragon (The acid and peroxide are in separate body sacs, get mixed during breath discharge) (Sadly, have a tendency to self-dissolve)
Very amusing Far Side, thanks! There's a win-win solution to this:
Personally, I think a 70-yard Field Goal should be worth ten points 🏈
Great action shot!
Very cute pose they're in!
You're very welcome! :-) I've been posting lots of bunny pictures lately.
Very nice!

It's batsh*t crazy that you get paid for that ;-)
Amazing shot! So I guess then the Blackbird and Osprey were just having a friendly chat about favorite fishing holes? ;-)

Very nice perspective!

Fun fact: bunnies normally hop, but when they walk (alternating legs) they can do a surprising good jaguar impersonation 🐇🐈 #photography #bunny #nature #rabbit
Pardon the interruption, but a weekly reminder about the #BlueSkyArtShow - everybody is welcome to join! Info in the thread, below.
If this was me, I'd stash ammonia caps in every reachable place in my protective gear. Then the moment I get tackled, *pow*, they all go off at once. I would be the epicenter of my very own stink cloud. No one would dare tackle me the rest of the game. 🏈🦨
💯 Thank you for putting this down into a coherent thread. Have you considered this thread as a letter to the editor somewhere?
Great photo!
Amazing! Thank you for posting this! 🦕🫶

So cute, great shot!
The other animals are somewhat alarmed ;-)
Amazing shot, looks like a sign for the "Red Ball Express" ;-)
Photographer: (singing) "🎶Just another Manic Magic-hour Monday! 🎶" Bluejay: "Dude, I've got a headache already. The racoon was practicing the drums late last night. Can we do the photos some other time? And did you remember to bring me an iced frappucino?" #photography #birds #nature #bluejay
Thank you!

My sarcastic reply would be that yes, if they're thick as paper then they'll stop alpha particles. This would be nice only if your phone were made of Radium (at which point you have worse problems). If you feel like spooking him, say that bananas contain radioactive potassium☢️ xkcd.com/radiation/
