Trans Day of Visibility. 15 years ago, a cardiologist at the hospital approached me and said, "I need to tell you that you might see some changes. I'm transitioning to become male." I said," Congratulations!" The utter look of joy told me that this was not the response they had received thus far.

Thanks for the view, No-stripe, LOL!!! 🦨 🦊

Is this opossum carrying joeys? Eeeee!! 🦊

Brown marmorated stink bug on my porch goose 🐞🐛

Moth lands on skunk's tail. 🦨 🐛 🦊

Rolled over in bed, felt a pop in my knee and intense pain. Now I can’t put weight on it. I hate my body. 😡

I keep seeing tons of flying bugs on my trail cam and would love to do a shoot using a light and a hanging white sheet and take photos of what lands. Has anyone done this and do you have tips? I’d be using my Nikon zfc and zoom lens. 🐞

More birds from today 🪶

Downy woodpecker with ruffled red head patch 🪶

That's one brave cat!!!! How............?!?!

Sweet Eastern phoebe spent a lot of time going through leaf litter in my backyard forest today, then rested on a branch in front of me 🪶

There’s a flock of at least 70 goldfinches in my yard right now. 🪶

Interesting squirrel 🐿️ behavior and tail position as a crow tries to get food nearby. Finally the squirrel chases it off. 🪶🦊

LOL, that pause with the back leg raised and the slow lowering of it! #opossum 🦊

OMG a landscaper just left and we’ve taken the first step to permanent planting beds in front of the house! I AM SO EXCITED!! I haven’t been able to garden for over 20 years!!! Eeeee!! Now to start planning the natives for it!

Lazy Sunday. Doodled this while hubby watched golf. #art

Stomp, stomp, stomp!! The backing out of the frame makes me laugh so hard. No-stripe is such a drama queen! 🦨 🦊

Our resident Red-shouldered hawk that likes to hang out on the wire over the stream 🪶

Watch the left side of the screen. Drama queen! 🦨 This was the same time this morning when the smell of skunk was really strong in the house, but after a beautiful wide striped skunk was seen out the window. This no-stripe skunk is always a drama queen in every video, LOL! 🦊

❤️ I woke just after midnight, looked outside, and was treated to the sight of a skunk eating at the feeder, stripe glowing from the moonlight. Beautiful! 🦨

I think I posted it before, but here’s an owl stippling drawing I did. #art

Three different skunks visited the feeder last night. If you haven't seen my video of the skunk vs the fox, it's pretty exciting. 🦨 🦊

!!! 😮 !!! A skunk intimidates a red fox THREE TIMES before the fox decides enough is enough. My backyard was wild last night!!!! 🦨 🦊 youtu.be/v3tJdyye-IM

Crickets already????? East TN.

Pretty fox comes to the feeder for a snack. 🦊

I love how she (?) almost passed it by, then turned around and NOM NOM NOM haha. Opossums are so cute! #trailcam 🦊

SKUNK SPRAY!?!?!?!?! Watch the bottom of the screen. He's right along the side of our house, LOL! 🦨 It's mating season, so is he just walking around our house saying "this is my territory"? We sure smelled it when we went outside this morning. 🦊

Is that white spot on this opossum's shoulder/back just an odd fur coloring, or could it be an injury?

I couldn’t find my 73yr old husband until I saw him standing on the porch, glaring at a red-shouldered hawk which had its sights set on a squirrel in the yard. “Circle of life,” I said. “Not on my watch,” he replied. Later, we did see the hawk pull something from the stream, so it did eat. 🪶

Jane is ready for the next holiday. 🍀☘️

Don't put your trail camera next to a dryer vent! LOL!!!! I couldn't figure out what this was until my husband said, "um...what time were you doing your laundry?"
