The very sweet wallaby who hangs around Santi Forest Monastery
If I remember correctly, she has been named Wanda.
( Not my pic, downloaded it a while ago from a retweet by a historian, but canât remember who the original photographer was. Very sweet nonetheless )
Maybe this is the one:
Looks like he is expressing his displeasure about some other King ()
He has the family wiskas, thatâs for sure. I hope heâll not be over offended if I hold up a piece of white cardboard.
I love watching them move!
Enjoyed Bhante Sujatoâs essay on the MettÄ sutta and felt inspired to post today.
Here are 2 new members of the family to remind us to practice it everyday.
MettÄ and MaitrÄ« ( bonded brother and sister ~ 5 months old)
Curious about Grandpa Apu, who is a much nicer cat to other cats now given his age and disabilities, hopefully he picks up some mettÄ from the little ones and has a better destination in his next birth.
These are yellow footed rock wallabies. Cute little fellas and well camouflaged. Depending on the size of your screen you will count up to seven here.
Some Buddha beings outside the back of the houseâbadgers! Very unusual to see them during the day, so it was a delightful surprise and we quickly snapped some photos through a window.
Theyâre really interesting critters. They create very large underground caverns/burrows 3 ft underground, with several tunnels and different âroomsâ, which they sometimes share with other animals. They build a separate shallow pit away from their burrow for defecation, a âbadger outhouseâ!
They also pretty much demolish the area, turning it into a construction site (you canât see the full effect in these photos); in this case our âbackyardâ though you really canât call where I live (high desert) a âyardâ!
