Benny Johnson over at BuzzFeed had a little photo fun. He compiled images of 30 members of Congress who have animal doppelgängers, both Republicans and Democrats. He’s an equal opportunity doppelgängerer.
These are strictly visual comparisons, of course. He omitted any and all commentary on personality and other similarities (mental capacity and temperament come to mine) to animals or humans. Of course, we more than compensate for those omissions on a regular basis in our posts here at TPC.
Here are three of the thirty; you’ll have to follow the link to see all of them. Smile! Say cheese!
Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) as an orangutan
I have a regular ‘squirrel circus’ outside my window. Many days I can watch squirrel acrobatics all day long. They scurry, chase, jump from branch to branch and to and from my roof for hours. I realized one day that I had no idea what trees they were jumping around in so I decided to investigate and I’m pretty sure it’s an oak. (I’ll let you know when I’m no longer guessing.)
In any case, although I love trees and forests, I don’t much about them nor does anyone else I know so I turned to YouTube. Here’s a video on pine trees I just found and thought y’all might enjoy as I did. I love to learn!
This year for some reason I am seeing more birds than usual. One of my favorites is the red-headed woodpecker. I love its coloring. I’ll post a picture later.
