Good morning bluesky! I have an announcement!

With permission from the great man @wombat37.bsky.social himself I am taking over #SundayPix this week. The reason? Sunday is Wombie's birthday and the theme is going to be him!

It pictures of the nicest leaves for Wombat.
In the darkness we did find them, full of beauty, all the colours of the Autumn warm and glowing 🐾🌿
#sundaypixWombat

Just occasional in the world there is a Wombat, creating magic, as communities are born. The 37th Wombat bring kindness to the land, and grow the forest strong with friendships, full of possibilities and tales, with places for traditions, and sizzling sausages to share.

In the woodland, seasons come and go. Through the cold of winter, trees remain.. until one day, beyond imagining, leaves will brave the world again

Since I have, alas, no photos of the Great Wombie Himself, please enjoy this babby wombat who took a great interest in my toes #SundayPixWombat

Wombat, Alex, and I in Nottingham back in 2015. Wombie is a gorgeous man! Considered, and thoughtful, but also the life of the party. He is also a logophile, sesquipedalian, wordsmith, and beautifully erudite. It's an honour to write with him! 💙

My first TweetUp at the YSP in 2014 I think. I was so nervous meeting people who I’d only ever interacted with virtually, but Wombat really does attract such a wonderful crowd of people, the occasion and the people were such a delight. THANK YOU

I only know you through #sundaypix, and I don’t have anything like the lovely personal things people are posting. People have mentioned it’s your birthday, but not your age, so here is an approximately correct cake with my thanks for some pleasant Sundays

Birthday cake on a table spread with food. The cake is iced in white, and a white candle with blue edges spells out the word “ish”

I searched my photos to find a pic of a wombat for @wombat37.bsky.social birthday and sadly didn’t find one. My phone suggested this video of Daphne, and I guess it’s close enough. Happy birthday, you lovely lad #sundaypixwombat37

A few items from the bookshelf for #SundayPixWombat37 selected purely at random I assure you:

Side-by-side on a shelf leaning up against a corkboard full of enamel pins are three books: Warren Peace in the center flanked by A Pocketful of Whispers and A Pocketful of Surprises, all three by Michael Wombat.

Birthday Salutations to the one and only #SundayPixWombat37
We met up on a #SundayPix that involved taking your teddy out and about. So here is #SundayPixWombie and my ancient Loppy Lugs enjoying a beer.

Happy Birthday, Mr Wombat.

The weather today is dramatic, which is very kind of it and Mrs Dog and I came up to the wind farm to waddle around and get the best wind turbine pic we could get.
