A good book and a cup of delicious coffee or hot tea would be wonderful sitting in that rocking chair

10 second video the music is as relaxing as the photo

Nature and Feline Friday with my Nephews

Our hosts for Nature Friday  LLB Gang   

North Carolina's state freshwater fish, the Southern Appalachia Brook Trout was designated in 2005.  It is found in the pure, high-elevation streams of Southern Appalachia.

Known for their vibrant colors but also for facing significant population declines due to historical logging and the introduction of non-native trout species. Conservation efforts, including captive propagation and reintroduction programs, are underway to restore these populations in areas like the Great Smoky Mountains and western North Carolina. 

Characteristics and habitat

• Genetics and size: This is a unique strain that is genetically distinct from its northern counterparts and is typically smaller, with individuals often growing to only 6-8 inches long.
• Habitat: They live in cold, clear, spring-fed headwater streams at high elevations, often in remote areas.
• Appearance: They have unique patterns and vibrant colors, which become even more striking in the fall.
• Role in ecosystem: They are considered a keystone species and a bellwether for the health of their stream ecosystems, as they are very sensitive to pollution and temperature changes.

Dear Auntie HiC,

Our favorite Vet Tech recently got a new tattoo (similar to this) to honor her 2 kitties.

Since Mom doesn’t have any tattoos, & has no desire to get any, we recreated Yin Yang Kitties for her.

She said our positioning wasn’t

purr-fect, but close enough! 😹

Dearest Kat and Rocky

Your Vet tech was very brave to be able to sit still for all of the lovely Yin Yang tattoo to honor her kitties. 

PURRsonally I like your version and no ouchies. 

I don't really mind getting vaccines and injections but I cannot imagine I'd be able to sit still that long

Lovingly Auntie HiC

❤️ Kat & Rocky
