This is your annual reminder that you should visit your older relatives and help them clean out their pantries. Botulism express over here 😬
A puffed up can of expired fruit cocktail. This WILL kill you, and it will hurt the whole time. An unspeakable black growth emerging from an expired exploded can of mandarin oranges. Big pile of cans to be thrown out.

Hey did you notice all the GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL SNOW outside (if you live where the snow is) ???? Please share your #snow #nature photos today!
A fisheye lens photo taken over a snowy azalea bush. The top of the bush has lumpy mounds of snow, and there are some leafy twigs poking through. The late afternoon sun is on the way down, as high cirrus and low cumulus clouds roll by in the blue hazy sky. A closeup of a pine bough fallen in the snow, showing the outline of ots shape, and little needled branchlets poking up above the snow. A snowy landscape, with a heavily crooked snow-laden tulip poplar in the foreground and a frozen pond in the background. The sky is a deep blue, with cumulus clouds. Tracks through the snow to a tiny footbridge over a small creek

My Pink Princess Philodendron is actually a Pink Prince Philodendron 🌱🍄📸
A hand holding up an incredibly small yellow mushroom (the plant-pot dapperling!). The mushroom is young, with a rather thick base, and without a full cap. It looks a bit inappropriate. This is a harmless little fungus for your plants to cohabitate with! It promotes the release of nutrients from the soil.

This is a lovely town to be a sidewalk user in
Photo of a narrow sidewalk along a busy road. The sidewalk is fractured, with rusty rebar poking out, and a utility pole protrudes about a foot into the sidewalk by the road. Another pole protrudes another foot in on the other side, a few feet past the first. You cannot safely use a wheelchair or walk past, without carefully checking the road for vehicles. Another view a little ways farther down the sidewalk. A road crew has placed a flagger warning side in the middle of the walkway, leaving zero clearance for sidewalk users. There is also another utility pole protruding through the sidewalk a couple feet farther.

Either I found 2 leucistic Canada geese, or these 2 geese love to play in poop or paint, or they're having a hard time molting 🦆 #birds #WeirdDuckTime
A black and white Canada goose on blue rippling water. This one has a big white patch on the back of its head, which "should" be black. Same goose and setting, different angle. A second goose, with smaller white patches on its face and neck. Same goose, different angle.

Want to distract yourself?

Learn the etymology for "limpet"!
Screenshot from a webpage about freshwater limpets. It reads: Etymology of Freshwater Limpets Although the name 'Limpet' is of uncertain origin and might be folk etymology, it is also believed that it has Latin roots from the word 'Lampreda'. The Latin word 'Lampreda' is a combination of the word 'Lambere' meaning "to lick" and the word 'Petra' meaning 'the rock'. Therefore, Limpet can be translated as 'Licking the rock'.

Me, going to my silly little office, to do my silly little job on November 5, 2024
Meme image of a blone-haired little girl coloring with wax crayons. She's resting her head on her hand in a very adult-ish expression of distress, and looks close to tears.

She's reaching for the surface, but climbed up onto the underside of the plant so can't reach 😂

(She did perform some impressive acrobatics to get on top after the photo, and happily siphoned air for a bit)

Had a flip-flop blowout at work, so I'm dressed as a Saturday Morning Retired Dad (feat. khaki cargo shorts and a tee) for the day. Happy Halloween!!

I voted! Check out the weird sticker. I wish we had the children's drawing ones
A selfie of me, smiling at the camera and holding up my voting sticker. The sticker is round, has a red ring around the outside with text that reads "Presidential Election 2024" and "I Voted". In the center is a blue circle with the Great Seal, a spread eagle holding leaves and arrows in its feet and a banner in its beak.

Its a little late, but another of my guerilla-gardening dahlias has bloomed! 🌱

(Ignore the whitefly-wracked foliage...)
A wine red dahlia flower with a golden yellow center. The background is a blurry blue sky with high cirrus clouds, and lots of dahlia foliage with white areas from insect damage.

Guess what I found in a pasture today!!! (Answer & description in alt text)
My finger behind a very odd-looking grass seedhead. The background is a blurry grassy pasture. The seedhead begins where the stem bends to the side. There, a long series of downward-facing tubelike seeds begins, extending all the way to the stem tip. It resembles a brown toothbrush, bent a little near the head. This is Blue Grama grass (Bouteola gracilis), a rare grass for the state of West Virginia. This is shortly going to be the first observation of the species in the state. I am so excited about this because it is one of the first wacky seedheads I learned to ID, and I am so excited to find it in the wild!

Because I can't have dogs (stupid lease agreement) I just take pics of other people's dogs
A brown and white dog with a silky coat laying on a hardwood floor A brown sighthound watching birds in a tree just out of frame. She's posed like she's in a dog show. Behind her is a big hydrangea bush. A brown short and shiny-coated dog looking at the camera with a sweet expression, ears back. Her chin is resting on a light grey pillow. A black Scottish Terrier with her face smushed into a blue linen pillow. She's giving the camera some nice side-eye.
