Enjoy! @leaf-shakes - Tumblr Blog

I’m Leaf! This is my personal blog :)

I love art, nature, and my favorite pieces of media. I have special interests in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, horses, and animals in general.

I keep anon off for my own sake, but please feel free to send in asks! This horse doesn’t bite well-meaning people, I promise :o)

I finished up pinning the workshop Barred Owl wings and wanted to show one more thing! Newly molted owl feathers are slightly pink and fluoresce under UV light, over time and exposure to sunlight this pink fades until the next year when the owls molt again. This trait can be used for helping age owls, because if they're under a year old all the feathers will be the same age (because they're growing in simultaneously) so all the feathers will be similarly pink. Older birds like this one molt a few feathers at a time so they can keep flying so the pink glow won't be consistent.

I feel like it doesn't really show up well in my photos (sorry) so I included a better photo under the break of a Long-earred Owl wing under black light.

At my pony riding school, when I was a kid, we had a retired pony named Moses who was 37 years old and would just wander around however he pleased. Sometimes he walked into lessons and just followed us around, doing voltes and diagonals. This is the only photo I have of him

(he had trouble keeping on weight, hence the crazy amount of carrots and mash with his lunch)

Props to that riding school for keeping their retirees and not just selling them or putting them down when they stopped being useful. More horse owners need to do that.

This is so so incredibly important

Common Raven (Corvus corax) teasing a gull (Larus spp) - series by Sandra Gilchrist

According to the photographer, the raven eventually left and the gull seemed no worse for wear after the interaction.

every other week, my mom would make a giant pot of vegetable soup. she'd pack half of it in a tupperware and take it to her best friend's house. they both had three kids whose ages aligned. they'd lock us out of the house and go through each room, finding every piece of dirty laundry and then spend the afternoon keeping the washer and dryer running, folding and putting away each load while gossiping.

every alternate week, her best friend would come to our house with a tupperware full of chicken spaghetti. they'd stick us in front of a tv with a stack of disney vhs tapes and go through each room, finding every dirty dish, and then spend the afternoon at the kitchen sink, washing each dish by hand while gossiping.

it wasn't always soup and spaghetti and laundry and dishes. but it was almost always a meal and a chore. here is a night you don't have to cook dinner. here is a chore you can cross off your list. and here is a day you don't have to spend alone. because really food and friendship and a feeling of accomplishment are what we all need most.
