Actually, even if I can't go national, I can still definitely hit some awesome museums here in WA. Pop Culture, Science Center, and the Burke Museum... I can NOT wait!

London, England

Pretty pink restaurants, futuristic space-age toilets and jungle skyline views are just some of our favorite things about London. And of course, all the classics: Big Ben, red phone boxes and world-class museums and galleries.

The full image I used for my new profile picture! It was a wonderful cool humid day, my perfect walking weather and second favourite location: the beach. Bit drab but I loved it.

Taken on Whidbey Island, Washington :)
A very grey scene of the beach shore. It's overcast. A great blue heron stands in the water a ways away, and in the far distance you can see another island. You can also see on the far right where the beach curves back into the frame, showing a heavily forested hill.

My sleepy dark-tortoiseshell cat, laying on my lap with her neck propped back in a somewhat uncomfortable-looking manner. Her eyes are open and staring off to the left of the camera. One of her eyes is squinted more than the other.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Black-and-white Warbler! This #Halloween colored wood warbler has a long reversed toe (hallux) and clings to tree trunks upside down to pull insects out of bark. They are VERY territorial and will pick fights with chickadees, nuthatches, and redstarts! 🧪🐡🐦
#BirdGlamour
Makeup in Black-and-white Warbler colors and patterns: white eyebrow, black upper eye, white eyelid, undereye in alternating black and white stripes, and outer eye wing in alternating black and white stripes. White lipstick with black vertical streaking.

Just a few more #SpookyScience October posts left!

Today is the cochineal, a bug harvested from prickly pear cacti to make red dye from the carminic acid they produce to deter other insects. The dye is used in food, cosmetics, and textiles! Learn more here 👇🏽 www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/s... 🧪
Two cochineal bugs. They are ovals, dark red in color, soft, and ribbed. They kind of look like two raspberry gummy bugs. Photo by Vahe Martirosyan, CC BY 2.0

Some more pictures from my da visit to Oregon... Here's when we went camping in Florence!

#nature #florence #oregon #travel
View of the side of a mossy bridge in Florence, Oregon, over a large stream. The bridge is made of concrete. It's midday. View of what's under said mossy bridge. The stream is sandwiched between large rocks and a big dirt path below the start of the bridge. The water is calm but still moving. View of the underside of the bridge. It's a better look at the stream, which looks a little more violent in this photo. The opposite side of the bridge is supported on the underside by wooden horizontal wooden planks. View of the stream that's going through the bridge, but no bridge. It's brown and peppered with green leaves. The sides of it are completely covered in bushes, save for a spot on the right with heavy rocks and ferns. A fir is in frame above them.

Simple little picture I took while visiting my da in Lincoln City, Oregon :)

Picture taken in Lincoln City, Oregon, US. It's dusk with a view of a slightly foggy beach. There's a large board on the left with warnings and protocols. The largest sign pinned reads, "S.W. 11th Drive Beach Access"

I’m so glad we got a physical copy of Over the Garden Wall for our annual rewatch. It’s so sad how happy I was that the Blue Ray had actually special features including a commentary from the creator! Get physical copies or all the movies/shows/games you love.
A picture of the cover of a blue ray of the cartoon “Over the Garden Wall” it depicts the characters “Wirt” “Greg” “Beatrice” and their pet frog. Also to the left is a cute wooden statue of a witch.

Steller's Squabble

#birds #becurious
photo of two steller's jays squabbling. the one on the right has their back to the camera, tail 1/2 flared and head turned 3/4 to the left face to face with the one in the back. One in back is facing the camera - they are out of focus - their head is facing 3/4 right almost open beak to open beak with the first.

#birds
A small bird with a striking appearance, featuring a bright red head that contrasts vividly with its jet-black body. Its round, white eye stands out against the red feathers, giving it an inquisitive and alert expression. The bird’s slender, pale beak and slight yellow coloring on its legs add delicate touches to its vibrant look. It perches sideways on a thin, mossy branch, surrounded by a soft green backdrop that enhances its bold colors.
