I... thought the deer didn't like getting on my patio...
Photo taken through the window of a patio door of a deer standing on a wooden patio, evidently having just eaten from the scraggly, late-season grape tomato plant just behind it. The deer is facing the camera with its head slightly turned to the side, licking its lips. In the background, another deer can be seen eating from the neighbor's raised beds, despite being fenced in with chicken wire.

So did you know that if you peel a bunch of garlic in one sitting, your fingers will burn by the end
Overhead photo of a light-colored wood countertop. A large bowl of papery garlic skins sits on the left side, at the top is a very full bowl of peeled garlic cloves, to its right is a smaller bowl of stems and other inedible detritus, and in front is a quarter sheet pan, to keep garlic skins from getting everywhere while being peeled.

Check out this cool moth I found! Google says it's Eudryas grata, the beautiful wood nymph. It's trying to look like bird poop and that's what I thought it was at first!
Photo of a moth, the beautiful wood nymph (Eudryas grata) at rest on an outdoor storage bin with its wings folded. Its two fluffy-looking forelimbs are sprawled diagonally in front of it, and its body is mostly white with a brownish stripe down the middle, causing it to resemble bird poop.

An excursion at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

I used to have thoughts that I wanted to turn into art. But that was when I wasn't a burnt-out 30 year old who barely has the energy to survive a basic full-time job so I can pay my mortgage. I feel like I never really got the chance to explore myself...
Close-up photo of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami's flowers, a large jumble of cartoony, brightly colored flowers with smiling faces that completely fills the frame. Photo of "Siesta" by American artist William E. Smith, a small 1943 monochromatic linocut print in pure black and white depicting a well-dressed man seated on some steps with his head bowed in sleep. The print is in a simple black frame on a red-painted wall. The info card is also visible to the right, and reads: William E. Smith conceived of this print at the height of the Great Depression as a statement on the struggles of unemployment, especially in Black communities, during that global economic downturn. He originally titled it Poverty and Fatigue, dramatically shifting our interpretation of a man who slumps forward and gazes downward. In this context, the man’s well-kept clothing might relate to a job search while his defeated pose could suggest the difficulty he faces in finding work. Smith himself benefited from federally funded support for unemployed artists that occasionally subsidized the salaries of Karamu teaching artists. Photo taken through a doorway at the Cleveland Museum of Art, which leads into Gallery 113, French Tapestries and Illuminated Manuscripts. The 16th century French tapestry "Time" from the Chateau de Chaumont set is visible on the far wall, and there is a display case in front of it containing four opened Books of Hours. Photo of "Strandgade, Sunshine" by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershoi, an early 20th century oil painting on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The painting depicts a sparse room with an uncovered window in the center, a closed door to the right, and a woman standing to the left, with a table in the foreground as the only furniture. Sunlight streams in through the window, creating a sunny patch on the floor. The painting is in a simple gold-colored frame on a white wall. The info card is visible to the right and reads: One of Denmark’s most celebrated artists, Vilhelm Hammershøi was a painter of quiet spaces, mystery, and silence. Among his most memorable works are paintings of his apartment at 30 Strandgade in Copenhagen, here seen with the sun shining through a window, illuminating the floor and door to the right, while a woman stands in the shadows. The nearly empty room, muted tones, and closed door next to a window evoke a haunting mood filled with psychological complexity.

I was thinking more nonsense like this.
Scan of a 1973 vintage recipe card for "Perfection Salad". The card is from the McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection, from the category "THE MIDWEST", number 18s. The bulk of the card's area is taken up with a photo of the dish in question, a towering molded gelatin monstrosity with a translucent, amber hue from apple juice through which one can see a variety of shredded and chopped vegetables suspended inside, including celery, cabbage, carrot, and green bell pepper. The gelatin tower itself is arranged on a large platter garnished with curly salad greens.

Yesterday, I opened my front door to grab a package and a swarm of these little shits came flying into my house. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! In about two weeks, they're going to be replaced with mayflies. The joys of living on Lake Erie.
Photo of a midge/mufflehead on a vertical piece of window trim, a small flying insect under a centimeter long with a brown and tan striped body and fluffy antennae.

Have a beautifully soft-looking Ilkka from The Street Where I Live, and this picture my mom sent me of her dogs.

Roscoe, the one on the left, is obsessed with that toy rabbit- he looks for it every morning, carries it around with him everywhere, and likes to groom it, like it's his baby. <3
Screencap from Swedish miniseries The Street Where I Live depicting Richard, played by Finnish actor Ilkka Villi. Photo of two small white dogs lying on a carpeted floor by a window. The dog on the left has a small toy rabbit tucked into his arms.

There is a wild turkey in my yard.
Zoomed in photo of a grassy backyard. A white shed stands in the background, and in front of it is a side view of a large wild turkey standing upright.

My mom's dog chewed the little rubber piece off of the zipper pull on one of my hoodies. Every time I put on that hoodie, I think of him. Mission accomplished, Roscoe.
Photo of Roscoe, a small poodle mix dog with a white and tan wavy coat and large, dark eyes. He is sprawled out on the floor and looking adoringly at the camera.

It's like my mom's dog and his little toy rabbits. They're like his babies.
Photo of Roscoe, a small white poodle mix dog with a wavy coat, lying in a teal-colored dog bed with a small, fluffy toy rabbit beside him. The bed is sitting atop a large green ottoman in front of a sunny window.

A slice of my self-made birthday cake, chocolate with cream cheese frosting. The recipe is also vegan, requires no special equipment or weird ingredients, and it's very easy while still tasting super rich. Great for emergency chocolate cravings! #baking

Meow!
Overhead photo of a cat walking on the ledge of a retaining wall by water. The water is dark green and forms the top half of the frame, while the tan stone block wall forms the lower half. The cat is on the left side of the frame and looking up at the camera with gold-colored eyes, and has a mostly white body with a dark-colored tail, ears, and a splotch on its lower back.

There's a raccoon (or at least two) living under my shed. I happened to see this on Friday afternoon and thought it looked so funny. It looks like it's hanging out on its front stoop after a long workweek, gazing out across the neighborhood (my yard).
Extremely zoomed in photo, taken during late afternoon, of a raccoon in front of a large white shed. The raccoon is sitting on its haunches and appears to be gazing out across the landscape.

Behold the picture of Ilkka Villi that made me develop a crush on him all the way back in 2013. (can't believe I still had this on my hard drive, from two computers and 12 years ago)
Posed photo of Finnish actor Ilkka Villi, taken sometime prior to 2013, when he would've been in his thirties. Villi is a tall, fair-skinned Caucasian man of Nordic descent with short dark wavy hair and stubble, dressed in a black button-down shirt, dark jeans, and black laced shoes. He is seated on a plastic chair with one leg crossed and adjusting the cuff of his sleeve, posed in front of a gray backdrop with his body facing to the left of the frame, and eyes looking to the right.

Is that a lighthouse with a dying light, or a reflection of my glowing eyes...

I finally stickered up my laptop. What a cool little detail on this little Alan sticker from @sunfishstick.bsky.social- his eyes are literally glowing in the dark from the holographic foil!
Photo taken in low light of a sticker depicting Alan Wake from the video game series of the same name. Alan Wake is a fair-skinned Caucasian man with shoulder-length dark hair dressed in a dark suit, carrying the Angel Lamp (a slim winged desk lamp topped with an exposed lightbulb) in his right hand. He is drawn in an anime-esque chibi art style and depicted mid-stride with a determined expression, and the sticker is printed on holographic, glow-in-the-dark foil that's glowing neon green in the low lighting. The highlights in his eyes are transparent, allowing the foil to show through from underneath, making his eyes look like they're shining in the dark.

Everyone stare at this old picture of Riley. The fluffiness. His poofy ears. His strangely humanlike expression. The prim way that he sits with his paws together.
Photo of Riley, a small Bichon Frise dog with a white, tightly curled coat. He is lying on his stomach on a carpeted floor and gazing up with interest at the camera with his front paws touching, like a dog version of a human sitting with their hands primly clasped in their lap. His round dark eyes and straight-across mouth give his expression a strangely humanlike quality.
