Sharing my IG video from back in July 2023 of rescued, captive reared and released Sea Rocket, Wild Indigo and Prickly Pear, and our most precious Imani (Monty and Rose’s boy) at Montrose Beach!! Sea Rocket and Imani went on to successfully raised three chicks in 2025 !

Love my #delightbox portrait of baby Sea Rocket, Prickly Pear & Wild Indigo by @timkocher.bsky.social. It commemorates our visit to #MontroseBeach on 7/21/23 to see the captive #pipingplover chicks from NY after their release in #Chicago 🥰 @chicagopiping.bsky.social #endangeredspecies #sunlightbox
Lightbox made with layered white and black paper in a wood frame up against a sunny window. The image is of three young piping plovers on a sandy beach. The one in the center is reflected in a puddle of water. Overturned boats, buildings, a lifeguard tower, people having fun and the waves of Lake Michigan can be seen n the background. The blue sky and clouds are visible through the open back along with the surrounding trees.

An early #robertredford role: playing a murderer in the 1961 detective series The New Breed, starring Leslie Nielsen. The show only lasted one season, but the intro is mighty cool. #quinnmartin

The Civic Arts Church at 5810 S Lafayette in Washington Park. Once home to several Black congregations, it sits mostly alone on its block and was at risk of abandonment until the Sweet Water Foundation acquired it in 2021 and turned it into an arts center. With a big bank vault door on it bc why not
A simple brick church with a short rectangular tower on the left side. It is painted white, and the paint is beginning to wear off. A large circular bank vault door split down the middle flanks the front door. Two posts painted red, black and green flank the path to the main door

Got out my UV resin today and attached stakes to the Kodama figurines in my terrarium so I could position them better 🥰🥰🥰
