I made a customizable chicken wire generator in geometry nodes. Some variables are fully-customizable (like the length of the mesh, resolution, etc...), others are limited to values corresponding to real world standards (mesh width and hole size).
Anyone interested?

Made butter chicken and naan for dinner. It turned out great!
Some of the naan is stuffed with cheese.

Cowpen daisy (Verbesina encelioides), painted and one good coat of polyurethane, how does it look?

Six cubed chicken thighs in a heavily-spiced yogurt sauce, about to start marinating overnight before being made into butter chicken tomorrow.

Painting goes well, apart from the smaller bits of the laser-burnt design flaking off. I'm not a fan of the way they look with the little missing pieces and there isn't an easy way to fix this once they fall off.
What do you think?

I lasered 41 cowpen daisy refrigerator magnet pieces and sanded them.
I can't sand the centers because the grit tends to break the fine lasering up and bits of wood go everywhere... but, since the centers will be painted, that's ok.

I really like it!

Another sign of spring in Oklahoma: the Chicasaw plums (Prunus angustifolia) are blooming.
These fruit trees were once a major food of native tribes and are still popular enough to be sold commercially as sand plum jelly.

This is how you know it's spring in Oklahoma: blooming redbud trees (Cercis canadensis)!
There are so many bees pollinating these trees that you can hear the buzzing from 30 feet away.

Logged a new species on the property today: western soapberry (Sapindus saponaria).
Native to North America, the toxic berries of this small tree contain high levels of saponins which can function as a sort of soap when mixed with water.

We have wrens all over the place here, this Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii) had chosen a hydraulic line on an old backhoe for a display site in may of 2023.
Other wrens, of other species even, had picked other spots on the machine to dance on

I found these little nest capsules in an old rat nest under a car tire. I think it's from a species of bee or wasp, but I've never found a mud nest like this that wasn't built onto a solid surface.

Yes, 3-ply corrugated cardboard will be more than sturdy enough for this prototype, plus I have some neat tricks to use...

I like birds; they are often beautiful, and have interesting behaviors.
In the case of this red-bellied woodpecker, that odd behavior is rapidly pecking on a metal vent tube on my roof for about 10 minutes once a year, producing such a noise.

I love getting good photos of tiger beetles like this splendid tiger beetle (Cicindela splendida), though this is not a simple task as they are fairly tiny, exceptionally fast and fear human shadows.
