An osprey is circling over my head, and my thoughts are swinging madly between, "Oooh, let me get a picture" and, "Oh man, don't crap now!"

Husband thought he could make a quick run to the grocery store after lunch. Haven't seen him since, just a call to complain about the traffic , the afternoon before July 4th 😂

Also: if your unvaccinated pet gets bitten/exposed by a rabid animal, they are legally required to be euthanized and tested (the only definitive test for rabies requires brain tissue, and therefore requires the animal to be dead). Vaccinated pets that get exposed just need quarantine

Reminder that if you contract rabies, you are dead. If your pet contracts rabies, they are dead. Full stop. It really doesn't matter how prevalent rabies cases are in your locality because any risk is too much risk when we have an effective (and safe!!!) vaccine

All right, I'm going to say this and be done with it. Biden is president now, so is clearly capable of being president. And if that changes, he has a capable vice president and a capable staff. No one else is guaranteed to beat Trump; we need to shut up and vote for the fucker what brought us.

The breeze blowing, soft and warm, through my hair; the waves gently lapping around us; puffy clouds, limned by the low sun and joined by a daylit moon; ospreys fishing, their breasts flashing white as they dive; swallows swooping near as they feast on mayflies; a lone goose calling. Summer in Ga.

Humidity in Tallahassee was so high that my glasses fogged over at airport and I had to scrape the layer off, whereupon it affixed itself to my throat and proceeded to obscure even my 5 yr strategic vision. At some local restaurants they're offering dishes with cuts of humidity subbing in for tofu.

The US will support Ukraine "until they win this war," Biden said. For the first time, the word "Victory of Ukraine" was uttered by Biden. Before that, he always said that Ukraine would not lose.

And so, this new day begins. A day of light, love, grace and joy…if we allow it. 🫶🏼☕️

Sigh. Another day in Gunlandia. (Breaking news Atlanta, 4 people shot ...)

I miss ButterflyGuy - I hope someone can talk him into coming back to Bluesky. Who's this pretty little fellow on the Bottlebrush Buckeye? She or he was very busy with the wispy bits at the back end. Egg laying maybe? 🌱🦋 #inverts #insects

Goodbye Cicadas, see you in 13 years. Welcome Mayflies! The birds and fish are eating well this year! 🌱🌿🐞#inverts

Avoid tropical milkweed and plant native milkweeds instead, as tropical milkweed has been linked to higher transmission of OE disease, which causes developmental issues in monarch butterflies. 🦋🌱 blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/hillsboroughco/2024/06/01/tropical-milkweed-and-oe/

I think I'll stick with the real gardenias, thank you. 🌱🪻🌿🪰🦎

So my neighbor suggested today that I could save myself a lot of work by replacing the flowers in my yard with synthetics like his wife did. Apparently they're beautiful, and he can't tell which are real and which are fake. Speechless. 🌿🦋🪻

Thank you, New York!

Not a tall tree, but twisted tree for Tuesday. I have no idea what caused this tree to grow this way - Kudzu vines in its formative years maybe? I wouldn't think that muscadine vine would do it.🌿🌳

A few morning visitors - aphids, ants and who is this colorful guy? I tried for a better shot , but he shyly ran away. #invert 🌿🐞
