Whenever I’m having a particularly tough day, I like to sit on my back porch and just watch the animals run wild.
I have a pretty big backyard with a ton of HUGE trees and I see all kinds of animals back there: birds, raccoons, squirrels, etc. Heck, even the stray neighborhood cats like to use my backyard as a cut-through to their other rendezvous points in the neighborhood, so I get to see them doing their thing, as well.
For some reason, it just calms me down to watch animals walk around and go about their daily business. It’s kind of soothing, like watching the ocean.
If animals bring you a sense of peace as they do for me, I think you’ll enjoy these very wholesome animal photos.
1. Are you comfortable?

2. Let’s share a meal.
And we can be friends.
This little dude and I have had breakfast/lunch together everyday for the last 4 weeks, always bring him something to eat and he just sits next to me for my entire break at work. My dude.

3. I’m back again!
I see that you’ve been busy…
Every year this mama duck brings her babies to my house and I help her take care of them. This morning I opened my door to 13 new peeping fluff balls.

4. I bring you these gifts.
Crows are very smart animals.
A friend nursed an injured crow back to health after it got trapped in her French Quarter courtyard. These as some of the things the crow has been bringing her as apparent gifts.
