I've been fond of these since I was a toddler. Too fond perhaps-- grabbed this one off the road and stepped into a ditch to put it on a tree, almost stepping on this venomous Eastern Copperhead in the process. I froze and spent 20 minutes taking snake photos, cicada hanging on the whole time:

Ring-necked pheasant waited for the car in front of me to go past before coming out onto the road. The thing I didn’t notice until just now is that somebody else landed on the road for just this one picture. I can’t tell what it is but it looks raptor sized and shaped. Shiawassee NWR

$178.58 for the vet visit and $182.46 for the new trays with litter included so all up this weekend has cost $361.04 for the cats 🫠 Good news is that Macy's tail isn't broken and we have an antibiotic that'll help with the swelling. Seems like movement is coming back already 💜

I'm a SFW artist and streamer, but I do dabble in horror now and again. If that's up your alley, I'm streaming 7 Days to Die a couple nights a week in my channel until the update later this month. I plan on having an event later this year where I play with some other people for the month of October!
