Black text on white background. Text reads: What’s going on? This is followed by options of ‘It’s annoying or not interesting’, ‘I’m in this photo and I don’t like it’, ‘I think it shouldn’t be on Facebook’ and ‘It’s spam’. The second option has been selected.

Indy auroras. iPhone ‘sees’ this better than my eyeballs - definitely not that intense in person.

Not the most favorite Caturday she’s had, that’s for sure.

Looking *up* a ridiculously tall sycamore tree.
Photo looking parallel up the trunk of a very tall sycamore tree. The crown of the tree is a long way up there.

I succeeded in flowering this ridiculously small lady slipper orchid this year. It went on to have four flowers in a row. It’s called a Mexipedium.
Tiny lady slipper orchid with finger behind the white flower for scale. The flower is the same size as the end of the finger. Tiny lady slipper orchid with white flower on a windowsill.

This case makes it look like the phone has a boob window.
Photo of the back of an orange iPhone 17 in an army green colored case. The case has a cutout across the top of the phone for the camera bump area that resembles a cutout on a risqué top.

My encounter with such themed stickers:
Grey suv with yellow and black bumper sticker saying ‘New Driver I’m Freaking Trying!’ Same grey SUV in a wider angle photo showing exceptionally poor parking skills

You might have missed this honker of a Huntsman spider found in rural Australia a few years ago. That’s a standard broom head for scale.
Big honkin’ Hunstman spider sitting on a yellow broom head. Bigger than your hand for sure.

This bitch. Who I just blocked so I’m only screenshotting.
Some cretin stating “You cannot beat the capitalists and the fascists in life and death scenarios when the idiot proletariat who supported them are too brainwashed by the capitalists and the fascists to be on their side. You have to remove them before you can beat the real enemies. Their deaths help hasten our win.

Same vibes as this sign I spotted while on field work.
Badly painted sign saying ‘ATM Here’ that looks like it was painted by the clown from It to lure unsuspecting people to their doom.

#Flowerreport The magnolia tree and grape hyacinth in full swing at my new house.
Large rose magnolia tree covered with pink blooms. The tree is between two brick houses. The sky is cloudy and overcast. A closeup shot of one of the rose magnolia blooms. A soft pink and white flower with grass in the background of the shot. Grape hyacinth blooms that graduate from light purple at the top of the flower spike to darker purple at the bottom.
