Ornamental grass, in the dark of evening, at a time when, not many days ago, it wouldn't yet have been dark. Bit like life is sometimes.

The wispy and curving tops of stalks of ornamental grass, lit artificially and in front of a dark evening sky.

I picked this up at @therobintheatre.bsky.social - a wonderful place - and these stories are definitely unique. Less murder mystery (what I was expecting 🙄) and more existential dread in a not-terribly-serious style.

Michigan in autumn is where I want to be.

I had two conversations not sooo long ago about where in the world it's like Michigan autumn year round, one with my then partner, and one with ChatGPT. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I "decided" Mala was fine and swapped out Kaminski for him, so I could afford my other changes.

Wow. Not one of my starred guys started, and Kaminski and Jaquez were my high scorers. Oof. And yet I didn't lose that much ground.

I've posted a scant few graveyard scenes this month, disappointing my October 1 self who had big plans.

#photography #graveyard #moody #Octobervibes
A graveyard with a scattered few grave stones, one in the left foreground that is a base topped with two round pillars joined at the top by an arch. There are brown fallen leaves covering the ground round the gravestones and there are large evergreen trees in the left background and large deciduous trees in the right background.

Thank you for walking away, because I never would have.

A paved walking path through a woods of bare trees in late autumn. On either side of the path are wood slat fences three feet high and ten feet long. There is a dense foggy mist obscuring the distant path and trees.

So, yeah. I made it through, as I do (see last post), and am ready to catch back up with all you lovely people here.

Here's a black-capped chickadee with something to say.
A small, round bird on a feeder on an apartment balcony. The bird is black on the top of their head and their chest, with a band of white in between, grayish underneath, and spindly legs and feet. The bird is three inches away and is looking directly at the viewer with their beak wide open.

Sorry - out of commission for a spell. With the luxury of knowing 7 matches worth of results, I'd say have to be in great shape, no? I've done ok so far

Not my yard, but wicked cool find nonetheless. Lycoperdon curtisii according to Seek. Curtis's Puffball

Could be edible, but only if you know they're not Amanitas or Agaricus, according to my field guide. And don't inhale the spores regardless

Fair warning, it's October and this is likely not the last you'll see from me prowling round graveyards.

Nigel had a bunch more teeth pulled Monday, and had not eaten Monday or Tuesday, and I was having a hell of a time getting his meds in him. But! Yesterday he ate like a champ and didn't mind the meds I snuck into his supper dish. This morning too.

My relief is palpable to say the least.
