Redoing my intro. Howdy! Southern US gal with multiple chronic illnesses and plenty of hobbies that range from nature photography, to drawing, to jewelry making and taxidermy! Activity is sporadic due to health but I try to post and engage with others whenever I can. Commission and shop info below.
Venus flytrap flowers, specifically those from a flytrap I had named Hydra. It kept blooming, with one flower stalk after another, which ended up killing it. I didn't know at the time how much energy growing flowers costs those plants. Ah well, lesson learned. #flower #plants #naturephotography

"Summer Hues", one of my oldest colored pencil works that I still consider decent. How many of you are wanting a break from the cold weather already? Cold weather came early here in the deep south. No snow of course, but a hard freeze! #art #dragons #fantasy #drawing #traditionalart #artist

Might upload more older photos and art until I'm up to getting to new stuff again. This is Godzilla - I mean another marine iguana from my Galapagos trip. #herps #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #animals #reptiles #wildlife #nature #photography

Didn't plan on returning to art before photos but I really missed drawing and wanted to do a simple portrait to get back into it. Here's Onika, the main protagonist in a really story of mine, in her current and likely final design. Hope this isn't too dark, #art #fantasy #drawing #dragons #artist

today I went looking for a rare bird sighted locally, a vermilion flycatcher. And I found him and got photos! Im very tired but have no regrets. May move those photos to the top of my pile to be edited so you see them sooner. For now, here are a few from said pile as a preview

Me: How many peanuts do you want?
This crow: All of them.
I think this is Babble. It's definitely one of this year's young. But with them grown now, I'm really struggling to tell them apart.

Back to photo uploads again soon. My backlog is ever expanding and if I don't hurry and get serious, i'll never catch up.

Another update on my other friend before I sleep. I haven't gone to see her agajn because she's in an induced coma due to the pain and developing pneumonia and multiple other infections trying to shut her body down. I have still been hearing from her sister though, and it sounds like she's...

Happy halloween! Tad late. I spent the night exploring spooky ruins with friends. In Vintage Story, not real life sadly. But fun! Especially hearing their reactions. They're still quite new to the game, including the story locations. And with the better ruins mod, there are many Ive not seen either

Been having a blast playing Vintage Story on a server with a couple of friends. This part is all my handiwork, a functional mess. But one friend is even more obsessed with decorating and chiseling than I so it'll get beautified. I need to build one more windmill first though.

Went to visit today. Even though I already knew how bad it was, nothing could prepare me for actually seeing it. She is lucid but trapped in a body shattered beyond recognition. Can't move except for one broken hand she's making gestures with. And the gestures are clear. She doesn't...
Update on friend. She's far from being out of the woods but is alive. She has a very long, hard road ahead of her. In respect to her and her family, I'm not going to repeat what the doctors are expecting her future will be like. But literally almost every part of her body is broken or damaged....

Poor quality because these been sent down a chain from family. But just got some very upsetting news. A friend ive known since childhood and who's been here helping me and my family since the fire was in that red car.

Guess if there's a good time for a migraine, it's when you have no screen to look at. Got better just in time for my thermal paste to arrive today. PC's running cooler now. Still had flickering but after toggling a setting I already tried many times, it seems fixed now. I don't get it but I'm happy
www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRXm... (flash warning) Sharing this where I can because I'm at a loss on how to fix this new issue in Vintage Story. I'm photosensitive and currently can't play like this. Desperately needing a solution. More info and what I've already tried in the video description. #games

My crows be wild today! Kept hearing a commotion on the roof. When I went out to look, they were sliding down the metal wet from rain. Dunno if it was play or they just couldn't get a grip. And one hit me with a stick. Got spooked on the ground and when they jumped, their foot flicked a twig at me.

Plants from around the yard. Mexican Petunia still coming back long after we uprooted the flower beds in front of the house, our Japanese maple after some rain, a cluster of palmetto buds about to open, and the fern-covered roof of our dilapidated old shed.

Every photographer needs some cloud pictures in their portfolio, right? I used to know all the different kinds of clouds but that was long ago.
Forgot to mention here that I'll be posting twice a day some days in an effort to catch up. #photography

Babble dug up a bite of hotdog they cached earlier, and all I can think of is that video of the guy walking in on his happy dog, Sam, who has a whole hotdog in his mouth. #birds #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #wildlife #nature #photography #corvids #animals

It's that time of year where the yard smells like rotting corpses because of all the mushrooms. There have been some interesting ones, like these fuzzies. They look like Fringed Sawgill but I'm not experienced enough with 'shrooms to be certain. #mushrooms #fungi #naturephotography #nature
