Q: Is that the eye above or below the antenna?

A: It's both. The Red Milkweed Beetle has adapted in such a way that the antenna bisects its compound eye.

Getting back to reposting some older bird photos here. This was the roundest.

The Great Blue Heron - North America's most graceful and elegant water bird.

Magnolia Warbler Please 🪶

As common as Chickadees are around here, I rarely get a half decent photo of them.

It's a bit easier on a rainy day with softer lighting.

One more woodpecker for today

Don't see many Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers, but today is good woodpecker day.

Good day for woodpeckers!

I think the same is true of any photography - I try to keep my bird photos "natural" but I'm really just matching the post-processing of my own brain.

What the color of an object would really look like out of a spaceship window would depend a bit on the choice of interior lighting on the ship.

I took some pictures of birds again, it's been almost 2 years, good to get back to it.

Still have nothing to say, but posting feels fun again.

I've seen a lot of Green Herons in my feed, which is a good thing, so here is another one.

I've got a dog like that, Abby is some sort of Beagle Rottweiler hybrid with German Pointer mixed in. One of the hungriest creatures that ever walked the Earth, but a good dog nonetheless.

I don't have much to say right now, but I'm excited about this app catching on, so I'm gonna post one of my old bird pics every few days.
