Some photos of wildlife the wife and I saw recently on our belated honeymoon in #costarica. The cats were just hanging around the condo resort we stayed at, the dog hanging out at a restaurant on #playasdelocotal, and the #prayingmantis on a hike our last day.

Managed to get some photos of the moon last week. Sadly, the night of the occlusion of Mars was clouded over. But I'm pretty happy with these.

This performance from UK's English Teacher kinda blew my mind. I hadn't heard of them before, but they definitely bring to mind early 2000s Discord Records stuff. Brilliant.
