Well it's the day of the year I share a pic of my favorite vet @dontoshin.bsky.social Now we are off on a mission to scavenge free food like seagulls

Me seeing people's pictures of snow: oh that looks nice!
Me looking at the temperature drop between today and tomorrow: oh fuck no
A map of SW Virginia and the temperature for today and the next three days. The high today is 66 degrees F. The night tomorrow is 35 degrees F with a low of 23 and a windspeed of 17 mph 🥶

Are women ruining the workplace? (Photo from a local museum)
A photo of a photo from the 1940s (I think). A large group of people stand outside a brick building with lots of windows. The women outnumber the men like 8 to 1. It's a picture from a now closed hosiery factory

Out wanderin in the woods
A flat area that is sometimes filled with water but not currently with a hint of water and a mountain in the background A path flanked by lichen covered tree trunks A cove with water and a mountain behind A small bridge going over a ravine surrounded by fallen leaves

Back in the midish 90s I used to play a Lord of the Rings based card game and ever since I think about this card when I get pissed off and I've been thinking about this card a lot lately
An illustrated card with a big red eyed angry spider in front of a sea of webs titles Full of Froth and Rafe. It's a permanent effect where all spider and animal attacks receive +2 prowess

A dark murky pool behind a chain link fence. Murals painted on the bathhouse behind. Reflections of the bath house and the autumn adorned trees show up in the ominous water The deep end of the murky pool behind the chain link fence. A diving board in two parts A group of goobers. On the right a middle aged woman in a plaid shirt, on the left a middle aged man with a grey beard in an olive green shirt, in the middle a tall teenager with long hair in a silent Hill shirt. A blurry smudge of waterfall in the background A middle aged man with his knee bent, foot up on a boulder, caught stretching holding a brown German Shorthaired Pointer on a teal harness/leash. A mountain stream with moss covered rocks behind them

Today's adventure
A thin waterfall drops off a rocky moss covered cliff into a shallow pool Side view of the bottom of the waterfall splashing down some large rocks A long haired teenage boy looks down from some boulders like some kind of cryptid A flat green field in a valley surrounded on all sides by mountains covered in the last of the fall color. White and grey clouds with glimpses of blue sky overhead

This Blue Jay that is clearly cheesed off I have not replenished the feeder. I swear it knows I can see it and is giving me dirty looks. In true Blue Jay fashion even though the feeder is empty it's still pissed another bird would dare

Share an angry bird and the curse you think it embodies.

One more... Sorry for the photo dump this is the first I've sat down to mess with them
Mountains covered in muted fall colors rise out of a lake underneath a blue sky with white wispy clouds Tall tree trunks with red and golden leaves blue sky behind A tree with white bark flanked by two trees with dark bark a few red and yellow leaves hanging on. Blue sky with white fluffy clouds in the background A view of a large weeping willow other trees and a tree covered mountains seen across a lake

Part 2
A side view of a waterfall descending a cliff falling foliage surrounds it A leaf covered path where the light shines through illuminating the red and orange leaves left on tall trees A cliff face rising straight out of a lake trees with what's left of the fall colors on top A dead tree trunk tilted askew rising out of a blanket of fallen leaves covered in small shelf fungus

Some photos from the last few days
A rainbow stretches across a cloudy evening sky A mountain stream rushes past many rocks. There is still a bit of red and gold in the surrounding trees A small eddy of white water rushing past large rocks. Rhododendron bushes line one bank and trees with golden leaves lean in on either side A large waterfall drops over a grey cliff

I started singing 16 Tons to my dog and he started rolling around clacking his jaws together
A German Shorthaired Pointer on his back mouth wide open rolling around on a bed like a maniac

My husband did not tell me he was ordering this 😂
A small girl in a witch costume and a small girl in a princess dress are playing with a man in an inflatable frog costume in a driveway. There are pumpkins, spider webs, and assorted Halloween decorations about

Went for a Halloween hike!
A waterfall descends from layered dark grey rocks into a pool. Fall leaves float in the foreground of the pool and there are blue skies with fluffy white clouds behind the waterfall

The bush in question
A green lawn with a fenced garden, a lounge chair, a punching bag stand with no bag, and a running German Shorthaired Pointer. Along the back of the yard stretches a massive bramble bush. Think old school sleeping beauty

The small birds are generally pretty quiet this time of year but something (probably the dog) got them going all at once and it's crazy to know they're just out there, hidden but so close by

I did make it out with the dog, not as far as I originally intended but our standard home walk
Russet colored mountains in the background, a green field with a large sprawling oak just about reaching full fall color in the foreground
