... only one shot a year 31 Dec 2025 I had hopes as we began a new year (fair winds & following seas, vaya con dios, ciao) ... 13 Feb 2026 ... hope alone cannot sustain when your country is consuming itself, you need mood lighting & self-honesty ... you are not alone if you feel bereft

Pastoral, bucolic ... absolutely ducky! Mallards near an oak tree by a pond ... 🪶

Reflections!

Golden northern bumblebee on a zinnia that is too small for all the feet #Invertebrates

UL - Cecropia moth caterpillar starting to spin cocoon (overwinters) UR - the female moth & remnants of brown cocoon. LL/LR - she is joined by a male - his feathery antennae detect her pheromones from about 1 mi away! After they mate, the female lays about 100 eggs. Adult moths live about 2 wks.

Moth images from some of my photographs #Invertebrates 🌿

For our brains ... and hearts ... 💚

Ruddy Duck (2019)

Husks from buckeye nuts (I personally verified this before I photographed them) - in Ohio, at Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum ... 🤢 "Image Search" AI says the image on left is likely a fungus & the image on right likely a Brazil nut.

And just like that, FAA be like “JUST KIDDING, NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS, CARRY ON”

There are so many ways to interact with our fascinating world ...

Winter photographs from 2016 - local county park ...

Earlier today I was on my porch and heard a loud cukcukcukcukcuk across the street ... a fabulous Pileated Woodpecker flew to a redbud tree and then took off behind my neighbor's house! Image below is from a walk in a local nature preserve. I love these prehistoric-looking forest bosses! 🪶 🌿

Shallow stream, water ripples and reflections ...

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com Lumi wants a box with the German uniform design for the 2026 Games on it! Pronto!

@lucidillusions.in I ran across one of silly constructs ... and thought of sleep issues ...

The POTUS puppet passion play is sponsored by a loogie of self-satisfied, racist, sexist, holier-than-thou thugs. Supporting roles are played by a flabby brained, "oh my we won't have jobs if we speak up" Congress. IT IS MY country/YOUR country that is crumbling.
