Creatures of the Night


Next door to our house is a pavilion of sorts that was once a house. The back side of the house kept sinking so they decided to just take down the walls and use it as an outdoor pavilion. It works out wonderfully with as much rain as we get. We can still plan outdoor events and not fear them always getting rained out. Ok, but to the point here. The attic of the pavilion is inhabited by a large colony of bats. If you sit out in the pavilion at dusk they come flying out. This little guy must have gotten home late one night and instead of ending up up in the attic, the kids found him low on a wall and it took all they had to not touch him. He looked so "cute and fuzzy!"

  2. I didn't realize that bats were that fuzzy. I guess I always thought they were hairless or had only a bit of short fuzz. This one looks like a little stuffed animal.
