Birds, bugs, dirt, birds, paper, yarn, and birds in DC
New tiny project: mini plant press out of samples from Ocooch Hardwoods (white oak and ash) and parts of an old backpack. I love small things.

An imagined comics version of the fable The Pitcher and the Crow for CFPB from a few years ago.

Me sitting on Metro omw to volunteer looking for dead birds and chuckling to myself while looking at memes saved on my phone: 20 years ago I'd have had to print these out and bring them with me to do this

The images:

The boys are back in town. Three sparrows on the Union Station late shift today. (Boys = white-throated sparrows)

I love my cat, Junior Boy. I love my first cat, Ponder, and I miss her. I was scared I couldn't love another cat and that another cat wouldn't love me, but here I am with this weird and wonderful boy, who makes me laugh and keeps my feet warm at night, and who I sing to all the time.

Five birds today, two dead yellowthroats (one hatch year) and a dead ovenbird, one live black and white warbler and one live possibly Nashville warbler. I tried to take a picture with my monocular, key word tried.

Two birds today, a live yellowthroat and a dead warbler. Poor little things. They look like fallen leaves or trash.

I might also have been too early for the magnolia warbler collision victim :|

The mushroom people who are scoffing at me:

White spores confirmed. Mushroom people might have scoffed at me trying to get a print from those little caps, but I'm not pretending to know anything here!

They were too young, I guess, so I'll collect some more larger caps for better prints, just because I think it's cool.

Spore print incoming (ringless honey mushroom, Desarmillaria caespitosa)

Look at this adorable magnolia flower and how pretty this Virginia creeper is turning from red to green! Love love love.

A few days ago I went for a walk to look for mushrooms, lingered too much (of course), and got caught in a downpour. Plus side, my muddy shoes were rinsed for me and I was given a reason to wash my backpack.

Milkweed flowers smell to me like the most magical buttercream

Oh! There's American mistletoe on the trees outside the White House grounds. I'll have to make it in crepe paper (what I've already made is the European variety) :3

The Washington Studio School has bluebells growing out front! There's no excuse for there NOT to be native plants everywhere in this city.

I also love the flowers I saw today on my walk home after volunteering
