Mr. Tom's Critters

Last Sunday afternoon was the perfect day for a stroll around Solomons Island.  There was just enough breeze to lessen the effect of the summer sun.  It was simply a delightful day for a walk.

There is always something to watch on a walk around Solomons.  There are plenty of boats, birds, plants, people, clouds and this time ... Reptiles, Guinea Pigs, and a Rabbit.  Now you might be wondering about that list, but it's accurate, and it's also unusual, unexpected you might say.  Let me explain a little further.

Mr. Tom, of Mr. Tom's Critters had a collection of is creatures, his little zoo, on display.  I'll let some photos tell more of the story..


Mr. Tom runs a rescue and also will take his animal out for teaching experiences. He has Animal Parties!  The kids love them.




Some Guinea Pigs




He has quite a few constrictors!




The youngest are often the least afraid!

Something soft may appeal to your cuddling instincts




































Now that you have seen some of the critters, it's time to meet Mr. Tom.  He is super friendly to all, including all his animals of course.  He just has a way about him that the animals sense.  Including a wild moth that was flying around and landed on his hand!  Not just once, but took off and came back! The vegetables in Tom's hand may have enticed a little, but when was the last time a butterfly or moth landed on your hand!



Look closely at Tom's right thumb (left side of photo under the tiger's eye) and you'll notice the vertical line of the moth's wings!

















If you would like to know more about Mr. Tom's Critters, check out his SITE, and if you happen to see Mr. Tom near the Solomon's River Walk Gazebo please take a minute to check out his amazing animals!  I'll add that this non-profit could use your support and sponsorship, please check out his page for more insight.

Till next time,

Peace,
Brian
