Platypuses.

Hey! I bought the same eggs and thought the same thing. H5N1 is pretty aggressive, I guess.

I like that it looks like a desert succulent or something as a crown.

You’re welcome! I’m always to happy to share his works. I suppose it’s just my inner child that loves the stories and wants to share them. I hope you enjoy all that you find.

Oh my gosh, that’s so cool! I’m happy to have helped. You’re very welcome.

Ray Bradbury is one of my favourite authors. One of the very first books I ever bought for myself was his series of short stories, The Martian Chronicles. We read so, so many of his various works, including Fahrenheit 451, while I was in middle school and high school, and it’s so wonderful to know that his works are still being taught (I know in some circles, he’s considered dated and I do understand). Still, it’s awesome to know that you appreciated his works, too! I highly recommend All Summer in a Day. It absolutely shattered my little heart when I read it back in sixth grade, but I still absolutely love how beautifully Bradbury was able to compose so much empathy and sorrow into just a few short pages.

There Will Come Soft Rains, Ray Bradbury

This was my first introduction to these shadows, and it was frightening to learn of as a child. I hope never to see atomic bombs dropped on any country ever again. Horrifying.
