Sunidesus Sees

Since I have a PhotoBlog now, I'm going to participate in my first Theme Thursday today! This is my boy Dolce enjoying a bath. When he takes a bath he goes nuts. He can spray water over an entire room. He's quite enthusiastic!

This week's Theme Thursday is Babies. I've got two pictures for it. The first one is me and my feathered baby Dolce. Whenever I talk about him, I refer to him as "my baby" so he's quite applicable to this week's theme.

I didn't take this next picture, IWTB did. This is her neice Hannah. She was born June 19th at 1 lb. 12 ozs. She's up above 9 lbs. now but is still stuck at the hospital. IWTB and Hannah's mom Nikki went to visit on Halloween (very cute chilli pepper outfit pics to come) and they took my camera. So... Hannah is now part of my Theme Thursday!

This is Syn's birdie Hermione. She usually gets called Mione though! Very cute, but a little spastic. (The bird, not Syn)

Even my bird is geeky! He flew to this perch and then sat there for probably an hour before he decided he wanted to be somewhere else.

The other day Dolce decided to climb onto my futon and then down onto some clothes that were hanging off the back of it. He hung around on it for quite a while just climbing around before he flew off to another play place.

Dolce will let me flip him onto his back and he'll just lie there and enjoy getting his head scritched. That's a trusting birdie right there.

I finally have my 'puter back and I'm participating in my first Photo Friday in a long time. This week's challenge is: Critters

Of course you were all expecting a picture of my Dolce (he's the green one if you're new around here) but now there's a new roomate at the Sunidesus house. Our flock has expanded by one. Meet Hermione, better known as Mione. She actually belongs to Syn, but I've kind of adopted her because Syn was having a hard time with a bird and a cat. And I'm such a bird person... we are now a flock of three.

I was having fun with my camera and decided to take more Theme Thursday pictures. So enjoy some birdie feet.

Just because I felt like it you're getting another post today! Are you all lucky or what?

This is Miss Mione taking a nap. I couldn't resist. She looks so soft and cuddly. She isn't all that awfully cuddly, but she is very soft! My boy Dolce is more sleek than soft, but he's the cuddler. They are very different birds!

Miss Mione looking quite proud of herself.

This particular Fid has a habit of freaking out and flapping madly around the room until she lands on something. This was a new place for her to end up.

I managed to take a picture of my boy flying! Am I good or what? Wait... don't answer that. Just enjoy looking at my beautiful boy.

Taking a good picture of Mione is difficult because she's such a light color. But I just couldn't resist snapping this one of her and her mommy Syn. Mione has a thing for shinny anything!

It's time for Theme Thursday this week's theme is: It's All Good, things that make us smile when we look through the viewfinder.

I know it's expected, but I just had to post a shot of Dolce. He always makes me smile.

I just had to share this adorable picture of my boy that Syn took of him for me. Isn't he just the cutest? And isn't she wonderful for taking care of them for me until they can come out and live with me?

Is that not the cutest face ever?

He's an 8 week old Netherland Dwarf and he doesn't have a name yet.

And this one to try and show his size. That horribly overexposed thing in the foreground is my arm. He completely fits on my palm. And he won't get much bigger either! Full grown is about 2 pounds.

Isn't he cute?

Because I just couldn't resist!

I'll have to take some Fid pictures pretty soon too.

This is from the first night Dolce and Mione could join me in Rhode Island. Thanks to Mom for dealing with all the nonsense to get them on the plane out here.

Someone ended up on top of one of the cupboards in the kitchen today. Don't worry, I wasn't cooking or anything. Fids are not allowed free flight when cooking is going on!

For Phototime, this week is: Pets. Is he a Momma's bunny or what? ;) This has become his new favorite thing to jump on and around and over...

For WordPhoto which I just discovered yesterday. Today is: Orange

I think this is the best picture I've ever taken of Miss Mione. She is so incredibly hard to photograph!

Or Tali for short. She joined the Sunidesus household last Wednesday (the 15th if anyone's counting) That puts her at about 9 weeks right now. She's a mini-lop with a little bit of what appears to be angora so she's very fluffy!

And for the curious folks out there... "Talitha" means "little girl" in Aramaic. I found it on a site that has a huge list of Biblical names. So there you have it!

One of the flowers I got at work a week ago has looked so interesting as it's started to die that I just had to take a picture of it. Something about the change in the colors from the outside to the inside as it drys out really interests me.

Now that's a relaxed bunny! And I just have to say that I love the healing brush in Photoshop! The original of this picture had some camera stuff and a mirror on the floor next to her. I like it much better this way ;)

Hewo-o! My name is Samantha and Suni just adopted me! I'm a complete cuddle bug and just want you to scritch my head. I'm a Lesser Sulpher Crested Cockatoo and I'm 18 years old. I lived with one family for all that time and they traveled all over the world with me. But they realized they didn't have enough time so they decided to give me up. Now Suni has taken me home and I'm sure we'll have lots of fun together!

A good portion of the day around here is spent like this. Of course they're crepuscular little creatrues so they're only hyper first thing in the morning, and then again at night. But they are just so gosh darn adorable when they're sleeping!

Well what do you do with your TV Guide? Huh?

Yeah, I know. All I've been posting lately are critter pictures. But who could resist such cute little bundles of fluff?

The new favorite playtoy... I've now been leaving my "coasters" on the floor for her to play with. She's a riot.

I still miss him.

Here's the new arrival. I need to come up with a name for him because if I can't find the owner I have a feeling he'll be staying. Much too sweet of a birdie to give up!

I'm working on writing his whole story (that I know anyway!) over at the Zoo. But I just had to get a picture up before I did anything else.

I finished a box of cereal the other day. The box ended up on the floor. And Tali ended up inside! She discovered that there were yummy crumbs left in there. And who can resist taking a picture of a cute little bunny butt sticking out of a box like that? I certainly can't!

I was trying to take a cute Easter picture of Miss Tali yesterday. She wasn't very cooperative! So I ended up with lots of pictures like these, and only one slightly useable one. Oh well, she's cute anyway!

And of course it works for the Friday Ark too.

And the little blue birdie now has a name, Shirin, and he's settling in quite well. He particularly likes hanging out on the bookshelves!

The bunny rolled over on her back. Although Benjamin is the one that's hilarious when he rolls over, but that's more of a video thing and Tali is much easier to photograph. She's just a tad more cooperative!

And it's Friday which is the perfect critter picture posting excuse.

Awwwww....
How can you not love something that adorable?

And I'm a day late, but hopefully close enough to make the Ark

Now that Shirin has joined the rest of the Zoo she's finding all kinds of interesting places to perch! And no I don't know what I was watching. I think that might be a commercial.

A certain mischevious 'too figured out how to climb up onto the kitchen counter the other day.

I think this qualifies as a "supporting role" for the Ark!

I managed to get a two-fer with this one. Something for the Ark and for Photo Friday! So we have one of the bunnies favorite actions, grooming!

Treat time for the Tali-meister! And Friday Ark time for the rest of us!

The time has come for the bunny couple to move into a new house together. No more bachelor/bachelorette pads for the buns! Tali, of course, started checking in out first. But Benjamin wasn't far behind! And now it's a few days later and they both seem quite happy with it. They're spending more time in it than out in the living room. So horrah! Happy buns!

So... does anybody need a used bunny cage? I'm needing to get rid of two of them!

It's Friday and we all know what that means! Time for the Friday Ark! So... here's Miss Samantha drying off after a shower.

When I woke up today around 2 and wandering out into the zoo the Tali Bug was laying on the floor right outside the door to the bunny house. She looked a little goofy so I kinda giggled at her and asked her what she was doing. Usually this gets a response.

When I bent down to pet her she didn't wake up.

At some point today before I woke up (I'm thinking around noon-ish) something happened to my fuzzy bundle of silly. I have no idea what. Last night when I got up around 1 to go to the bathroom she hopped her little self in to see what I was doing, just like she always does. did. Acting totally normal, eating, drinking, all the usually bunny stuff.

And now she's gone.

I figured it was only appropriate to post a picture of her doing one of her favorite things, munching on some lettuce and carrots. And her other favorite thing, snuggling with her man.

It's Friday and therefore time for the Ark! Since tomorrow is the Blogathon, and I'll be participating for a rabbit rescue of course I had to do a bunny picture.

If you haven't seen him before, Benjamin is the little Netherland Dwarf on the left, and his new girlfriend is a black beauty named Magic. I've already started calling her "Magi" so I think that's gonna stick. She's 7 or 8ish pounds and estimated to be around 2 years old.

We tried a couple other bunnies first and there's some not so great pictures of that "below the fold" as it were.

I've finally decided on a name for this gal, I'm going with "Dahlia". I never thought she'd try to get in one of these things, but she did! She fills up the entire inside, I have no idea how she turns around in there to get her nose facing out again!

An important part of the bunny bonding process. Grooming! For the most part Dally is the one in charge so she gets groomed whenever she says, but Benjamin is now asking to be groomed too. Today I caught them in some kind of "who gets groomed first" duel. They were both trying to get their head under the other, made me giggle!

Don't forget to visit all the other animals now boarding at the Ark!

It's Benjamin vs. the Banana Skin!

Don't forget to visit all the other critters at the Ark!
