A small bird perched on a fir branch, surrounded by green needles, with a soft, blurred background of dappled sunlight through leaves. A small brown bird in mid-flight with widespread wings against a dark, blurred forest background. Sunlight highlights its feathers. A small bird with dark head and white belly sits on a feeder, illuminated by warm sunlight. The blurred background is green and yellow. A small bird with brown, white, and gray plumage flies near a tree, wings fully spread. It's surrounded by lush green foliage in a sunlit forest.

PLEASE tell me you're already familiar with Gentle Giants, Burt Ward's very own dog food brand whose packaging is a graphic design nightmare
a bag of Gentle Giants dog food which is nearly indescribable, but it's a chaotic mosaic of pet owners and text

There are a lot of daily horrors, I know, but also there is a popular band called goose and a totally unrelated popular band called geese, and this just causes me no end of delight.

Happy 6th "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" anniversary to those who celebrate! #Geology ⚒️
Twitter post screenshot of the San Miguel Sheriff account. 5 years ago they posted about a boulder on the road but referred to it as "Large boulder the size of a small boulder".

A Tufted Titmouse waited for a spot at the feeder up above the rail. Almost a Borb! 🪶

Today was gloriously sunny and a little warmer than it has been, after that record-breaking dump of snow. Thankfully the snow was fluffy, the kind that falls when it’s very cold, so not as terrible to shovel as the good packing snow. It sure drifts easily, tho. And it crunches, squeaks under foot.
A trench cleared between two walls of snow along a sidewalk. Houses and treetops are visible over the tops, wires crossing the road against partly cloudy sky. Another sidewalk trench further down the block, with plowed snow high on both sides and drifted snow settled in the middle. Footprints betray the depth of snow here where blow snow has covered the cleared area. Trees and houses are beyond the trench. Another plowed sidewalk on another street, this one wider and the plowed walls lower, allowing a view of the lake at the end of the block. Snowy bushes, a fence and bare trees stand out against the deep snow. Looking over a park hill to the lake, past bare trees on both sides of a path marked only by footprints in deep snow. A picnic table is covered in snow, at left.

Pileated Woodpecker #birds
A Pileated Woodpecker on a snow covered branch. There are branches and red berries in the background. The bird is black with a red cap and a red bar on the lower cheek. The face and chin are white and there is a black band over the eye. There is a white streak down the shoulder.

It was a cold morning here, but once again, the birds don’t care! They were frantically foraging for food and this Pine Siskin paused for just a second in the sun!

The answer to this is obviously yes. Sadly, few who aren't artists consider art to be work, so the idea is generally looked on as some kind of skive, because we rarely look beyond the end of our own noses and are utterly in love with misery.
