#Hemlock and #yellowbirch and #paperbirch and #sugarmaple make for a #beautiful #winter #forest #UpNorth in #Wisconsin yesterday. #landscapephotos #landscapepictures #landscapes

Amazing #tracking in the #snow today, but it was the lowly #vole who stole mawesome. #animals #landscapes #winterlandscapes #winter #Wisconsin #UpNorth I later saw a vole running across the field, which was entertaining to watch.

I bit into my candy bar today, and something was not right. My photos below. #Heath tastes like garbage now. Will not be buying anymore. And what I learned made me hate #capitalism that much more. #Boycott #Hershey until 2027.

Despite the #snowstorm, springtime appears to be underway based on this Winged One. The redpolls are coloring up as well. #birding #birds #goldfinch #UpNorth #winter #birdphotos #birdpictures #phenology

The storm has covered every single twig, and even the birds are hiding out-- except for this single #dove. #birds #birding #birdphotos #winter #nature #trees

"What the HELL is that?!" Why, its a #ruffedgrouse in the garden, where the turkey was scratching earlier. #animals #birds #redsquirrel #grouse #gardens #birding

I realized while stopping to look at this birch this morning, how expressive they are. They wear their injuries on their sleeve and they are happy to let all kinds live on them. Self-Portrait in Birch. #trees #nature #naturephotography #birch #birchtree #paperbirch #whitebirch #self-portrait

Snow has arrived and with it many local flocks. Reference photos below, they are NOT for enjoyment, hahaha-- one more month and I will have a camera back (these are just my phone). #Wisconsin #UpNorth #birding #birds #winter #birdpictures #pirdphotos #goldfinch #purplefinch #junco #redpoll #turkey

I am a cat sitter, among other things, and as a matter of professional ethics I do not share my clients-- but MAN, let's just call her Lady X, was soooooo scerene warming herself by the wood fire, I had to share. Its still winter here, fire is legit. #journal #autobiography #catphotos #cats #LadyX

A long time since I have recommended an entire #album, but #EverythingisAlive from #Slowdive (2023 release) has been playing on repeat lately. Another #music share for #Bluesky. #Slowdive #Shanty youtu.be/vQiJrhcwfk0?...

Still a favorite. Where did 20 years go? WOOSH! "Still livin' out these late-night American blues..." #HighwaysandCigarettes #JayFarrar #SonVolt youtu.be/f1e6w9DQtCk?...

@billjanovitz.bsky.social knows how to pull #heartstrings. #music #BuffaloTom #Mineral 4th spot, #battingcleanup on #LetMeComeOver, 1992. You came into the kitchen - a rose held high I never want to see young flowers die And hearing all that made me feel like a spy www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE4m...

The street lamps came on Fireflies all around Dreaming of my baby Somewhere in this town Stood out front a bar Watched the people inside Stepped on my cigarette And into the night #music #songs #lyrics #headphones #CassMcCombs #SidewalkBopafterSuicide #TipoftheSphere youtu.be/_NHVqc2YcLs?...

#BobDylan track I have fallen in love with recently. Not your normal Bob-- he is #HAPPY and #JOYOUS Album #Desire, hit #1-- released January 1976, 50 years old! #music #violins #Mozambique youtu.be/4K_YPW-_Vnk?...

Shall gods be said to thump the clouds When clouds are cursed by thunder, Be said to weep when weather howls? Shall rainbows be their tunics' colour? #DylanThomas #poetry #poems #poets Epic #skies here today! Sister #Moon riding high in the #sky. #UpNorth #landscapes #photography

Truly amazing #movie, true #cinema, from 1972. Real acting, great writing. #StacyKeech #JeffBridges #movies #films en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Cit...

I try to keep work off Bluesky, but anybody who loves #LakeSuperior and the #BoundaryWaters should get to know this issue: #news #waterprotectors www.publicdomain.media/p/republican...

I ran over to #LakeSuperior. It is rapidly #melting off. A few small #icebergs so to speak. #mergansers and #goldeneyes were out on the water, #spring is underway. #nature #landscapes #photography #GreatLakes

Northern Wisconsin, right now-- simply staring at the #sky... #clouds #nature #photography

Any #TAXI fans out there? I was raised on tv, so I enjoy listening to #themesongs, brings back good #memories. #music #soundtracks #tv #tvshows It sets the mood in a big way, and this #track is so warm and inviting, it was like a weekly hug... youtu.be/5DL8SGEyhZE?...

What a great spring day-- #birds everywhere, including the first #Robin of the year! Also, my friend #grouse ( #ruffedgrouse to strangers) was up in the #crabapple #tree again. #birdphotos #birdpictures #landscapephotography #trees #landscapephotos #UpNorth #Wisconsin

Sharing another #waterfall #video from my morning outing-- all alone at #PotatoRiver #Falls during peak flows. The roar was #fantastic #peace #love #joy #naturevideos #waterfalls #Wisconsin

#iceout is underway on the #PotatoRiver. #Wisconsin #rivers #rivervideos I love this ice floe, looks like a surfboard or a ship.

Potato River Falls in Iron County, WI, is located at approximately 46.4611° N, -90.5289° W. The #falls are accessible via Potato River Falls Road near Gurney, WI. #PotatoRiverFalls #IronCounty #WI #waterfalls #waterfallvideos

Welp... #winter is done for real-- sharing 2 phone camera pics from my drive across northern #Wisconsin today-- both feature a pair of #trumpeterswans headed... #NORTH! First I have seen this year-- March 23, 2026. #bird #birds #birding #swans #birdphotos #birdpictures #birdwatching

Perfect #winter #music and fresh #snow makes it sound even better. #SugarforthePill #Slowdive #dreampop #shoegaze youtu.be/DcolWlw-WVQ?...

This hunter ( #Cooper's maybe) randomly appears to terrify the locals, and ALWAYS somehow knows I am watching! Northern #Wisconsin #hawk #hawks #birdvideo #birds #birdvideos #birding #birdwatching #raptors

#redpolls rolled in a bit ago-- first time in awhile. They make beautiful sounds huddled together in the tree, #peaceful and #serene. Look for maroon head cap and some chest coloration. Black #squirrel photo bomb as well. #birding #birds #redpoll #birdphotos #birdpictures #peace #love #joy

Wonderful tracking, tho' cold and still asleep-- but fresh snow makes a wonderful #palette for #animaltracks #tracking #fox #redsquirrel #rabbit #mouse #photos #snow #winter

Great song, but even greater video story-- this shares the actual tearing down of fencing at People's Park in Berkeley which UC is turning into high rise housing. #CassMcCombs is from that area, not sure if the song was written about the event or not. #HomeatLast #music youtu.be/mHWVrOvKArU?...

... I was stressing about it so I said "Universe, send me a sign..." Here is the #sign from northern #Wisconsin 5mns ago! Tomorrow will be an #amazing #springsolstice #peace #love #joy #sundog #astronomy #naturephotos #winter #landscapes

"Where's MY coffee, JB?!" TurkeyLurky came to say good morning and demand the good stuff. #turkeys #animals #animalphotos #birds #birdphotos

#SLOWDIVE day here, with the animals keeping time with me. #StarRoving #DeadOceans #music #singles Every black and white Secret's seeking light In a flash of time Said she's feeling love for everyone tonight Smiling beautiful She says I make it best for everyone tonight youtu.be/ogCih4OavoY?...

This is Bun E., came out from hiding for a bit. Bun lives under the porch here. #animals #rabbits #animalphotos #winter

Ok, NOW I'm impressed-- watch a #turkey jiggle a feeding platform to make food! Been coming here for years, first time behavior. This is a group of males, check out their #beards #amazing #birds #turkeys #animalvideo #animalbehavior #birding

Quiet day in the 'hood, just us #turkeys and #squirrels enjoying the deepest #winter #silence #landscapes #landscapephotos #landscapephotography #animaltracks

There's one in every crowd... #Genius! I mean, they ARE #birds, so why not make it easy on yourself? I have never ever seen a turkey do this, pretty hilarious. (Pardon the view, but black squares prevent bird strikes.) #turkey #wildturkey #turkeylurky #animalphotos #birdpictures #birdphotos

When people talk about a band "saving their life," #TALKTALK was that band for me. #MarkHollis was a #musicalgenius, taken way too young. 😔 #IBelieveinYou #music #peace #love #joy youtu.be/AD8M_HVauls?...

Another great oldies #single, hahaha, from a band that couldn't hold it together. #TheDarkside #WaitingfortheAngels #AllthatNoise #music youtu.be/ndBOJDRBvMI?...

I collect great singles, and I think this #track qualifies. #Roadtunes are a staple for me. From across the pond. Released in 2020. #TheHEAVYHEAVY #MilesandMiles #rockandroll music.youtube.com/watch?v=m4iy...
