Tiny gifts. Малюсенькие подарки

This is for a certain South African barbarian in Tokyo:



This is for Olesik in Moscow:

*facepalm*


This is for Agnia in Tashkent:


All snow leopards were hiding, sorry...

I didn't find tikli (Carduelis carduelis), so here is tilhi (Bombycilla garrulus) :)



And for everyone:
И для всех:

“I'm really bored.”
«Мне тааак скучно.»

“Gosh, I'm so pretty.”
«Боже, я такой красавчик.»

    Thank you, Ekaterina, from a very happy barbarian! (^0^)

    1. Imagine a piece of chocolate size of a horse... with mane and tail of white chocolate ^.^

    1. Ah, in one of my books there will be a few chapters (I think) set in Mongolian steppes a few centuries ago. It'll be a fantasy/sci-fi book but no elves, dwarves or dragons.

    1. Они так близко сидели, прям напрашивались на фотосессию :) Это зал, где птицы не отгорожены от тебя ничем, хотя они всё равно к посетителям не лезут. Вот там была целая стайка свиристелей :)
