“Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is whatsoever. I am utterly disgusted. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself... I feel like we are nearing to the end of the times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves…” - Hiyao Miyazaki on Artificial Intelligence

I recently learned I'm in a bird photography starter pack, but I haven't shared many birds. Allow me to introduce Buddy, a feral friend who lived on my family's farm for 6 months last year. He loved camping out on my porch and watching me through the window. I loved his presence. I miss him so. 🦚

Power’s out for no reason, my house is cold and I have a zillion things to do all requiring electricity. Humph. I’m fine. Just a wee bit grumpy. I hope your weekend is ending on a more positive note. (Northern Cardinal) #birds 🌿
