I keep trying to see the beauty in the world, but I come back to the ground and see all the ugliness in and around us. It doesn't feel right to relax while our gov continues it's mad dash toward fascism. 77 M cheer it on and take joy in the harm being done to fellow men. I'm so fucking tired.

No new birds spotted today, but while I was doing some macro shots of flowers I spotted this thing. I believe this is a Tarnished Plant Bug. #MacroPhotography #TinyPests #Insects

Fuck these fascist fearmongers. Troops arrive in LA as Trump sends National Guard to curb immigration raid protests www.npr.org/2025/06/08/n...

Look at this pretty lady, a Red-winged Black bird. #Birds #Birding

This is nauseating. Dan Price is just another problematic narcissist who uses his power to hurt others, while cultivating a glossy public identity. youtu.be/KB3-ymHNIR0?...

I just really love wild geraniums caught in narrow beams of sunlight filtered thru the tree canopy. #NaturePhotography

Good morning. Let's try and think beautiful day thoughts today. #DronePhotography #GoldenHour

@nickofferman.bsky.social is the absolute best 💜 Be more like him, and less like that weirdo he quoted

Another pretty Northern Cardinal out being beautiful. #Birds #Birding #NaturePhotography

Check out this pretty Savannah Sparrow. #Birds #Birding #NaturePhotography #TheMagicHedge

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I love the side-eye this Mallard is giving me. #birds #birding #NaturePhotography #ChicagoParks

Sadly, our Canada Goose couple at Indian Boundary are down to 2 of their original 6 goslings. I'm hopping these two can make it to adulthood. #birds #Birding #ChicagoParks #NaturePhotography

It's a beautiful sunset tonight, but you can see some of that Canadian forest fire smoke making it hazy. #DronePhotography #Sunset #GoldenHour #DramaticSkies #WestRidge #Chicago

Siberian bugloss, beautiful but blue, and surrounded by darkness. It's just a mood today. Trying to focus on the beauty.

Finally spotted a Warbling Vireo. #birds #birding #NaturePhotography #TheMagicHedge

Good morning! Look, it's a Black-billed Cuckoo. This made me practice my manual focus because there were way too many leaves in the way. #Birds #Birding #TheMagicHedge #NaturePhotography

@dwgrimes.bsky.social I might have finally spotted one of those Black-crowned Night Herons you saw a couple weeks ago! Super excited. #Birds #Birding #NaturePhotography

Went with the Scouts to the Rose Hill Memorial ceremonies this morning. Also made some additions to my Memorial Day playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/1h2... #chicago #MemorialDay

I love Bandit's giant whiskers in a sunbeam. #cats #whiskers #SunbeamKitty

Good morning everyone. #DawnIsAFeeling #Sunrise

These are my two favorite shots of this beautiful Columbine blossom. I just couldn't figure out which one was my favorite. #MacroPhotography #Flowers #FlowersOfWestRidge #Blossoms #LowKeyLight

A Killdeer has nested in the gravel on our roof at work. It has 4 healthy eggs in the nest near the roof access area, going up there provokes the faux broken wing display to try and lure us away from her nest. I'll keep away from there going forward. What a gorgeous bird. #birds #birding

This Black-capped Chickadee is an adorable little birb. He landed pretty close and almost immediately flew off, I was happy the shot actually came out nice. #Birding #BirdPhotography #birds #TheMagicHedge

Republicans who would vainly claim the mantle of Jesus are decimating SNAP which will take food from the mouths of those in need, many of them children. They will also be hurting their constituents who might be surprised to find out most SNAP recipients are native born whites.

Here is a Tulip for Tuesday. #MacroPhotography #Flowers #LowKeyLight #FlowersOfWestRidge

Phlox can be a very pretty, tiny little flower. #MacroPhotography #Flowers #FlowersOfWestRidge #LowKeyLight

A Brown-headed Cowbird just chilling in dawn's light. #Birds #Birding #TheMagicHedge #NaturePhotography

Extreme close-up of some Sweet Alyssum. #Flowers #MacroPhotography #LowKeyLight #strobist

Good morning, Baltimore! It's a Baltimore Oriole, first time I've seen one. #Birds #birding #NaturePhotography #TheMagicHedge #ChicagoParks

Good morning. Check out this adorable little Palm Warbler. #birds #birding #TheMagicHedge #NaturePhotography

Another new one for me from the Magic Hedge, a Gray Catbird. #Birds #Birding #TheMagicHedge #NaturePhotography

Early evening storms can make for some really cool sunsets. Last night was not an exception. #DronePhotography #DramaticSkies #MavicAir #Sunset #GoldenHour

I love going out right after the storm has passed and getting the drone up. Winds are suddenly calm and as long as you watch your cloud line you can get up and get some cool pictures. #DronePhotography #DramaticSkies #MavicAir #Chicago #StormyWeather

I really liked this shot I got of a Yellow Warbler just yeeting itself out into space. #Birds #Birding #NaturePhotography #TheMagicHedge

A new lifer from this past weekend, a Scarlet Tanager. #Birds #birding #NaturePhotography #ChicagoParks #TheMagicHedge
