From the feverish nature of some recent posts on here, I truly think some of us need to get away & stop jonesing on news of every new disaster, and every quisling failure of those who ought to be defending our nation in this awful moment. I know the struggle and I am giving this advice to myself...

It’s still winter, but the sun’s higher angle is giving me hints of spring. Felt good to get out and wander around in (urban) nature. #ILwx #Chicago

Over 500 Lake County Illinois residents showed up this morning at the Tesla dealership in Libertyville. And not to buy a car. To express their disgust with Musk and Trump @lakecountydem.bsky.social

Four meaningless, random shots from a glorious 55F+ afternoon ride. (1) Over-the-handlebars blurry corncobs; (2) Carefree toddler scurries past Lincoln; (3) A vibrant-looking tree; (4) A forgotten clementine. #chicago #photography

Chicago archives picture a day - UIC: The Forest Preserve collection has about a jillion black and white pictures of trees. It always seemed like quite a stretch between the beauty that person could see and the picture in front of me, but I'm getting there. n2t.net/ark:/81984/d...

I checked the BirdCast Live app this morning. About 8 million birds took off from just south of Illinois at sunrise and are headed towards Chicago! Blackbirds? Robins? Ducks? Maybe we'll find out in a day or two as southerly winds continue. birdcast.info/migration-to...

Flea treatments end up in bird nests. So if you treat your dog or cat don't leave the hair from a brushing lying around for birds. #BirdLinks www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lately I've seen multiple Red-Shouldered Hawks here in central Illinois. Curiously, I saw a light one and a darker red one together. The light form is supposed to be in Florida, but maybe this one is partially leucistic? 🪶

Photographing women in trees: it was once a thing, mostly from 1920-1950. We have one from 1917 in Chicago, when Agnes Majoros was photographed in a curious pose. That year she married my great-uncle George Petersen. From the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
