Wishing a conflict-free and low-stress Thanksgiving to the adult children of divorce, the eldest daughters, the overworked moms, the estranged siblings, the secretly queer grandchildren, the orphans, and the survivors spending today alone.

Met a small flock of Pine Grosbeaks on the weekend. The males are red, and the females are this gorgeous gold/bronze colour. Bird guides often say “yellow” but that doesn’t work for these beauties #birds 🌿

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

Yes, this is absolutely my Monday expression
These fork-tailed bush katdid nymphs have drama antennae
Whenever I find them I wonder about the bright colors, they're very striking and noticeable to my eye

A huge flock of geese came over a hill when I was out this morning, no doubt agitated by the family of bald eagles that were nearby.
This is sort of a Where's Waldo photo in that one of these geese is not like the others.
