THE DARKNESS!

When I was still young I became somewhat fascinated by bats. About which there are, surprisingly, not very many books. Though assiduous research in libraries provided a wealth of information, and the Encyclopedia Britannica also had many fascinating articles.

They still interest me to this day, but I no longer am as obsessed.

There used to be bats living in the spaces between buildings right next to each other in this neighborhood, sheltered by the few inches of clearance. There probably still are a few here and there, but obviously in this weather one will not see them.

From A Narcoleptic Panda comes this adorable photo.

Baby fruit bat. Mangoes and bananas will probably keep the darkness happy.
Everyone needs a little darkness in their life.

Insectivorous bats have more interesting noses and ears, and tiny inconsequential eyes. Altogether, there are over a thousand kinds of bats, occurring world-wide in almost all habitats.

Bats are a reason to visit Texas.
