I mostly putter around my yard and poke stuff. Sometimes I make pots. Sometimes I make food. Sometimes I make video games.

Oh, no, I think my MP-E 65 is giving up the ghost after over a decade of faithful service! What’s the current preferred macro solution? As a Sony employee, I think I get a small discount, so maybe it’s time to switch allegiances?

Here I am with my sign at yesterday’s Hand Off event in Redmond, WA. Good to know there are millions of others who are fed up. Maybe some of the Republicans in power will have a Grinch moment.
Seen @ Redmond, WA Hands Off rally today

Spring gardening can be hard for a bug guy. Dug up this poor mining (I presume?) bee before it was really ready

This cute little golden-crowned kinglet was pecking in the snowy yard today and didn’t seem at all concerned about me following it around with my phone camera

I have both golden-crowned kinglets and sharp-shinned hawks in my yard

I took this picture in my pond nine years ago. The wind was blowing is such a way as to cause floating detritus to gather together, trapping hundreds of springtails in a miniscule raft.

This blue dasher from my pond last summer was beat up and a little rough around the edges, but still in the game. #BlueMonday

I'm writing a piece on Trumpite intellectuals making the "spiritual case" for the conquest of Greenland, that it will spur a rebirth of the "pioneering frontier spirit" in America lost in the 1890s. And seeing now they're moving Inaugural inside because it's too cold. So yeah, not so sure abt this.

Hair ice in my yard! It’s just frozen water like regular ice, but the fungus Exidiopsis effusa helps it to form these flaxen filaments as it extrudes from the rotten branch.
