I like prog rock/jazz fusion, dogs and ice cream. Avoid using clichés like the plague. Atheist. Nazis should be punched in the face. AFT.

I often post pictures of birds and other random objects to offset my doomscrolling. (Pictures my own unless noted.)

I caught a few good pictures of the Eared Grebes (aka Black-necked Grebe) yesterday including this one that had just found something to eat. Love those bright red eyes. 🤩 More pics in the comments.

A bird gently swims in the water with an insect (?) that it just caught hanging from its mouth, looking quite proud. The bird has a grey and white back with a straight neck supporting its black-and-white head. It has bright red eyes and a pointed bill.

Weird. It’s like I’m suddenly tired an hour before my usual bedtime. Good night.

Here’s our Halloween pumpkin this year, “carved” with the help of the neighborhood squirrels 😂🎃🐿️👻

#halloween #pumpkin #jackolantern #spooktober
A pumpkin has been desecrated by squirrels with the eyes and mouth barely discernible due to the entire face having been chewed away by the tree-dwelling rodents. There is a red light shining from inside the pumpkin.

I love it when ducks dive down to look for food and their little webbed feet are left paddling air 😍

How’s about we put together a bsky crowdfunding effort to buy CNN?
Headline: “Futures of CNN and HBO at stake as Warner Bros. Discovery announces it’s open to a full or partial sale“

Ummm...
A red and white striped chair and ottoman... geezus, I don't even know how to describe it. It's all curvy and looks like it has a huge bosom at the top of the chair. It's got high, rounded armrests on the sides and front of the chair almost looks like crossed legs if you use your imagination. It looks like the kind of furniture that will be out of style as soon as it leaves the store.

Favorite sights and signs from a very peaceful but exuberant protest crowd today in Mountain View

#NoKings #protest
A woman is holding a sign that says “I have a dream” and it shows Trump being led away with his hands and handcuffs behind his back A woman is wearing an inflatable costume That looks like her riding the back of a big giant chicken. She is holding a sign that spells out TACO: Trump always chickens out. A man is stressed as a baby, with an orange shirt and orange shorts which are down around his ankles. He is wearing a blonde wig and a mask that makes him look like Trump. Hey man is holding a sign that says“elect a clown get a circus”. Also pictured is Trump wearing clown make up.

I like these cute little Killdeer, they look like they’re all dressed up. They do seem a little camera shy though.

#Photography #Nature #birds #wildlife
Two midsized birds are walking on the dirt terrain as they hunt for insects or seeds. They have a white chest and a brown back with two black stripes around their chest and neck. The nearest one is turning away from the camera, while the one in the background seems to be looking towards the camera asking itself. “what is that guy doing?“

This guy is called a Common Merganser, but they’re not common at all where I live, in fact it’s the first time I had seen one!

Tiny waves ripple behind a gray bird with a brown head and long bill as it swims along in a lake with clear water revealing a rocky bottom.

Visiting the Alviso salt pond feels weirdly like you're on another planet

#nature #photography
A small body of water has white shores on both sides. Tall mountains are seen in the background, with cloudy skies above as well as reflected in the salt pond.

Clouds and trees turning color in the mountains are mirrored in a very quiet Lake McDonald.

Fall colors in East Glacier's Saint Mary Lake

#Photography #Nature
A lake sits in front of a mountain range on a cloudy day. Some of the trees and other vegetation is starting to turn brown as autumn arrives.

Picture I took of my wife on our first night at Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park last week

The silhouette of a person is seen standing at the end of a long pier on a calm lake as darkness sets in. There is a boat in the water with tall mountains seen in the background.

Anyone know why all posts from elected officials (Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, etc.) now always have these completely irrelevant “tags“ at the top of their post? It started a couple weeks ago. I thought it would’ve been fixed by now.
A recent post by Chuck Schumer showing tags for: Citigroup Inc., Goldman Sachs, Lawyers/Law Firms, Pau,l Weiss et al, Real Estate and Securities & Investment

Birds in slo-mo 😍. Today we have the mighty Mallard, diving for its dinner to the music of the Doug Wyatt and his song "The Pseudo-Iterative," from his recent album "Days of Gypsy Nights." (Link in comments)

My wife keeps dropping stuff on the floor and then just leaves it there for someone else to pick up. So I scanned her signature and made little paper frames to place around these objects to highlight her “artwork.”

She was not amused. AITA?

#art #amateur #artwork
An almond lies on a hardwood floor, with a paper picture frame around it. The title of the artwork is “Dropped Almond.“ A supplement is pictured on the floor. It is surrounded by a paper frame add titled “Fallen Supplement.”
