If billionaires loved art, they have the means and opportunities to support artists. The fact that they are trying to cut the artists out of the loop to just make you pay THEM to use their shitty tools shows they couldn't give less of a shit about art.

I can tell the sun is crawling up the sky, but only because the rain-soaked grey is easier to pick out from the general darkness and gloom. Wish I could stay inside near the tree all day

A light rain steadily falls while the sun shines behind a bank of clouds. Come flowers are blooming and everything smells of ozone and verdancy

Still air on a stormy morning
Golden sea oats, ripened and sticking up at all angles in the late summer morning. The sky behind is grey and presages storm

A side of the island I don’t normally see
A view from up on the fifth floor of a condo unit. Behind a black railing is the beach. The light is still building from sunrise, and everything feels still. Coffee in hand; small waves crashing on a low tide strand.

Magnolia fruit
Green magnolia tree seed pods weigh a branch down looking like strange tropical fruit. Soon they will turn pink and orange color.

Everything feels so bleak, except maybe this?
Sea oats and dune grass show green and gold in a crepuscular light

The heat this morning is stifling. Here’s hoping it calls a small storm.
Seashore mallow blossoms; a five petaled pink flower with a jagged yellow stamen jutting out of the center like a turgid pastel lightning bolt

In the depths under the hive lived a creature, unknowable and insatiable. Nothing that ventured in that place came out.
An American toad chillin under the cement pylons of a bee hive, waiting for prey in the shade.

Lil guy hanging out on the porch in between squalls
A blue lined racer, which might be a skink. One eye is cocked skinkily toward the viewer. This one has lost a bit of their tail, which is why they aren’t as blue back there.

A bit of bee bearding to behold on this beautiful day! Nothing like sittin’ on the front porch in summer.
Honey bees cluster around the entrance to their colorfully painted hive; some coming in with pollen and some just hanging out in behavior known as ‘bearding,’ where the ladies chill out on the front porch to keep the hive cooler in hot temperatures.

G’nite, blue sky
Trees and a pond show semi silhouettes in front of the blue black gloaming of the night. A speck of bright window echos a sliver of the moon. In the foreground, the thin dagger outlines of rushes.

Gallants channel sandbar (a navigational hazard)
Water view of Gallants Channel near Beaufort. A line of dark vegetation splits the horizon, with tall loblolly trees standing apart. Clouds scud lazily across a Carolina blue sky.

Beauty berries blooming! Gonna have a lot of metallic purple beads come autumn❤️
A photo taken in the shade of the bright pink blossom of a beauty berry bush (callicarpa) the colors are washed out like this was a Polaroid and I love it.

Just one last berry hidden in the foliage, waiting for that 114F today.
Blackberry Bramble hiding in a wall of foliage. This bramble vine worked its way up about a meter and change off the ground— strong work, vine.

Another crab’s treasure
Knob whelk with orange and blue coloring is the home of a striped hermit crab of which you can only see a tiny antennae.

Morning light through Chez Pollinator
A closeup of a purple butterfly bush in bloom- little clumps of violet and white piled like flowery ice cream cones on sticks. morning light shows behind and through the branches. A bumble bee candid shot occurs under a leaf to the right side

Annual Kayak for the Warriors Paddle Race today. Too windy by half but such beautiful sky..
Looking out at the sound from a copse of loblolly pine trees. Beyond a hedge of electric green spartina grass is a wall of oyster rock, and beyond that blue and turquoise water and Carolina blue sky.

Sprung a leak!
Sunlight streams in a conical shape over a large thunder cloud formation. It looks a bit like the cloud is leaking or blowing out of a puncture. The cloud is lit by the sun from behind and looks pleasingly puffy. Some swamp trees stand silhouetted in the foreground.

This just felt very tropical
Bright green leaves of the Chinese Fan Palm (I think it’s livistona chinensa) misted with rain and humidity in the undergrowth in the maritime forest (swamp)

Smol unit-shaped traveler. He was trying to climb a meter tall retaining wall— but when we looped around he was gone. Ninja trained maybe.
An eastern slider or “cooter” as it is known colloquially here in the swaamp.
