Yes, don't repost this 100 times. I suggest 101+.

Yet another once-powerful and influential Republican who only locates his moral compass after he is on the way out the door. I am so sick of this crap. #politics #USApol

For #WorldBeeDay I am posting this fun picture of a bee wearing pajama pants. #bees #naturephotography

In celebration of #WorldBeeDay here are some honeybees and bumblebees gathering pollen from an artichoke flower. #nativebees 🐝 🌱 #PNW #bees

The campaign to abolish the unconstitutional and illegal US DOJ slush fund needs a unifying slogan. May I suggest #StopTheSteal !?! It truly is an outright theft of taxpayer money. #politics #USApol

Which do you prefer? A. The direct overhead view, or B. the side shot (with a side of bees)? #flowers #BloomScrolling

EXCELLENT news this morning: Officers Dunn and Hodges sue to dissolve the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that will most certainly be used to fund further insurrectionist activity www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Went looking for small migratory birds today and all I got were these nice American Civil War cannon (ca 1862). A peaceful and serene place with a fierce and bloody history. Manassas National Battlefield Park, Virginia, USA. 16-MAR-2026. #photography #civilwar

Fish. It's what's for lunch. Osprey with a nice catch. Out of 6 osprey dives I witnessed that day this was the only successful one. Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 12-MAY-2024. #birds

For anyone that needs something cheerful and peaceful in their feed. I like how the red-winged blackbird shows against the neutral background. That out-of-focus greenery could almost be a photographer's studio backdrop. Or a shower curtain😀. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 12-May-2026. #birds

"Plunging talons of death". Not something you ever want to see if you are a fish. Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 12-May-2026. #birds #osprey

"Maximum Turtle". I generally do conventional rectangular crops, but hey, why not go crazy every now and then. Please click on this photo to see it properly. Alexandria, Virginia, USA. #herps #turtle #photography

I love how when osprey decide to dive on a fish, they basically just stop flying in mid-air and let gravity do its thing. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 12-May-2026. #birds

Splash! An osprey impacts the water on a fishing dive. I was drawn to the V-pattern of the splash and its reflection. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 12-May-2026. #monochrome #bw #birds #photography #classicmono

I just saw this perfect response to the idiotic ‘our government is a republic not a democracy’ trope and just has to share it. #politics #USApol

@aendra.com Love the Bluesky news feed and tried to set-up a monthly donation via the KoFi tip jar link, but no luck. Put every thing in (including cc#, expir, CCV) but it complained that I hadn't entered my Zip Code --but there's no field to enter the zip code! Do I need to create a KoFi account?

Great blue heron enjoying a morning snack. Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 4-May-2026. #birds

Snapping #turtles seldom bask openly the way smaller turtles do, but here is a nice domestic scene with ma and pa snapper up on their favorite recliners napping in the sun, with junior (lower right) imitating the grown-ups. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 4-May-2026. #herps #turtle #naturephotography

It's hard to imagine that this cute little creature will, if the fates allow, grow up to be a fierce and lethal predator. Its nest-mate has already fledged, so this one will likely be gone soon also. Great Horned Owl owlet, Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 4-MAY-2026. #birds #owl

Went ISO humminbirds today, but no luck so I went with Plan B, #flower #photography. Here is one of the big blooms I saw. Easily 5" (13 cm) across. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 1-May-2026. #flowers #naturephotography

When they said "The South shall rise again" I never thought it would be the U.S. Supreme Court leading the charge. It sickens me to see how far the #USA has fallen and how rapidly it is regressing. #SCOTUS #politics #USApol #Louisiana

Everything will continue to get worse if billionaires are allowed to get richer and society becomes increasingly unequal.

Column: President Trump is trying to recast his gargantuan $400 million ballroom as a security project, writes Post critic Philip Kennicott. But the real function of this ballroom is obviously as a fundraising space. https://wapo.st/42DxAS8

Dear #Meta, no matter how many #Fascist posters you inject into my #Facebook feed, I'm just going to keep blocking them. Every single time. I use your platform to connect with family and local friends and share bird pictures, not get radicalized from the right. #socmed #USApol

i had to triple check that this wasn't from a parody account

This city & suburb guy never saw an owl in the wild until today. Even as an amateur wildlife photographer I'm just not out early mornings or late evening when owls are most active. Glad that this great horned owl has a nest at my favorite site in Alexandria, Virginia, USA. 20-APR-2026. #birds

Like many birds, great blue herons are tending their nests, watching over the little nestlings or laying eggs. This large tree had at least seven nests that I could see in this heronry, or heron rookery. I zoomed in on 3 to show the lone adult sentinel. Sterling, Virginia, USA 7-Apr-2026 #birds

A northern mockingbird if I'm not mistaken. These birds seem much less skittish than others allowing for closer approaches. They also tend to perch on lower branches (unlike those *":*&^!#@$# warblers) allowing for a nearly eye-level shot. Sterling, Virginia, USA 7-APR-2026. #birds

For a moment's respite from the insanity, noise, and confusion of life, please gaze upon this eastern bluebird. Repeat as needed. Algonkian Regional Park, Sterling, Virginia, USA 7-Apr-2026. #birds

Encouraged a bit by @fotodefer.eurosky.social poetic review of my earlier image, here is another #monochrome #bnw effort I call "Black Vultures on White Quartz". My apologies for such a literal title, but that is what's in the image. 1-APR-2026. #birds #photography

Whoa, hold on! Wasn't all that White House renovation mayhem, including the gigantic ballroom supposed to have been paid for by 'private donations' (aka bribes). #politics #trump Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Not sure #wildlife in #monochrome really works, but here's my latest effort. Occoquan, Virginia, USA 1-APR-2026. CCs welcome. #birds #ClassicMono #photography

My submission for #birdoftheday #largebirdsinflight is a great blue heron with a full-body shadow, not in water, but pure quartz! (I hope I'm not mistaken here). Occoquan, Virginia, USA 1-APR-2026. ( 38.687, -77.265 ). #geologist comments welcome. #birds #geology #photography.

A family portrait of double-crested cormorants. The adults are in the center, the two outer birds with the white fronts are definitely juveniles. Occoquan, Virginia, USA 1-APR-2026. #birds

One of the things I love about the bird subject detection of my #Nikon #Z8 #mirrorless camera is the ability to successfully track a bird across a cluttered forest background. My trusty #D500 #DSLR would almost always lose focus here. Bald Eagle, Occoquan, VA, USA 1-APR-2026 #birds #photography

Ma and Pa osprey hanging out at the nest. That's Pa on the left and Ma on the right if my Googled osprey lore is correct. I suspect there may be some baby osprey down in the nest, but I never saw them. #birds Alexandria, Virginia, USA 31-MAR-2026.

This female bald eagle left the nest briefly & came back with a beautiful fish. She had been carrying it with both talons most of the way and was just getting ready to drop it into the nest where at least one eagle awaited. Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 31-MAR-2026 #birds

I need more posts like this in my feed! Gorgeous. Looked at it, took 3 deep breaths, and I could just feel my BP dropping.

I was worried that the cold temps and/or outrage fatigue might keep the crowds down, but our local neighborhood #NoKings protest in Fairfax, Virginia was well-attended by joyful protesters of all ages.
