Wilson's snipe bird with a long beak and brown, black and white feathers in flight against a green blurred field.

Holy cow. I got a Wilson's snipe in flight! They are so shy, and I didn't even see it until it took flight.

Google says this is a “collection of vibrant Cymbidium orchids”

I think part of the reason I don’t share my photos much on here lately is bc I feel pressure to only post if there’s an art challenge associated with it. I wanna share this one though, so here it is. Associate it with whatever challenge your heart desires.

A heron in front of some reeds by a pond, with its hungry beak open, poking out its hungry tongue. It's facing left, which means it's not trying to eat you. Not yet. But you're next. Oh, so soon, you will be next.

The dinosaurs did not die out. They walk among us. And they are hungry.

Hoo boy, that was a tough listen. Two women in a department store, browsing racks right next to me, discussing 'immigrants'. I had to walk away when one said '...and you know what? We'll never get them all out of here either'.

There's just no helping some people. 🙄 #Its2026

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Trump just accidentally filmed a campaign ad for Democrats. He told Virginia voters that if they pass fair redistricting maps, the GOP will lose the House and Democrats will actually pass legislation. Don’t threaten us with a good time, Donald...

This is a list of questions for politicians

"This is an important thing to think about."

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Today i planted a native flower garden so the pollinators can have a place to visit.

Will post a picture soon after they perk up after planting.

Evening grosbeaks.

Clever and funny!!

I went to the library to get a book on Pavlov's dog and Schrodinger's cat.

The librarian said that she thought it rang a bell but wasn't sure if it was there or not!

Good morning!!

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

You yanks screwed up in 2024 - badly

Do not fuck us over in November 2026 or 2028 - the world cannot afford it

"I don't think people are sufficiently prepared notwithstanding what happened in 2021, for the possibility that he will try to fuck with this election. And he will. He's already basically telling us that's what he's going to do, just the same way he told us he would do that in 2020."

I’m so very sorry. I understand how hard it is to lose such a great friend.

My dog died.

I didn’t know his last meal was his last meal.

I didn’t know his last walk was his last walk.

I didn’t know the last time he wagged his tail would be his last tail wag.

I didn’t know his last outing would be his last.

I miss him.

The first time cats lay eyes on an abandoned puppy. Watch their reaction.

Rehabilitation of the Dandelion!
No other plant in the Netherlands attracts as many bee species: 107. In early spring, when nothing else is blooming, it is simply there. Meadow bird chicks that have just hatched depend on the insects that are drawn to dandelions. No dandelion, no insect, no chick.

Credit where credit is due. Congress is “doing something.”

news happens so fast that I also forgot the president posted a murder video like a day or two before the Jesus fiasco and it's crazy that the latter made more of a stir

Guys guys guys!! MY CAT IS BACK HOME! MY CAT IS BACK HOME!
