I saw eastern bluebirds today. Always a delight. Might have to breakout the ancient photography gear this week. Speaking of here is a bid in flight from a few years ago on a Nikon D80 with a 300mm f4 prime, that lens just keeps on going.

The news has been extra scary lately sonI’ve been looking through photos of happier times. This is one of my first photos from when I began my bird photo hobby. 2015 or so. A swamp in southeast Louisiana.

Is this going to be 1860 but with atomic weapons?

Remember when forums were the thing on the internet before social media took over? One of my favorites was the wooden boat forum. I found out today one of my favorite posters recently passed. I never met the guy but it’s been sad for me. The internet used to be so much more pleasant.

The writing on the last season of The USA has sure gotten sloppy and weak.

Today at the lake

I think I should boycott google. Changing emails may take some time.

This evening at lake pontchartrain

A drug addled beneficiary of the extreme economic inequality of the USA and some teenagers ending a major empire will make for some interesting history books of humanity can overcome at all.

Two weeks ago we were in a blizzard. Today the gators are out. #reptiles

Now this is a good guard dog.

Got a photo of this anhinga this afternoon. However in this political climate I have to say having all these military aircraft buzzing the city is not helping my anxiety.

Team Canada.

Still looks like this in New Orleans.

It’s freezing cold so I’m making pea green soup

I am really going to put the phone down for this and think about it later, but the temptation is real. Also I’ve never bought used shoes, bu I do know how to clean them. Avoiding temptation.

Not upstate New York, New Orleans. just shoveling snow so the dogs have a place to go.

New Orleans right now.

Never would have imagined this.

New Orleans. And it still coming down.

Tropical plant snowpocalypse

Today certainly was a horror show of a fever dream.

🌱 going for a woods walk this morning I found a bird pepper shrub with these few peppers remaining. I’m going to plant the seeds this spring.

All right I think I set my account to filter out the fakes, at least I hope so because Bluesky is becoming an annoying hassle with the fakes the bots and the repost only accounts.

4 plus years ago when we moved into this place I planted a bunch of wax Myrtle shrubs. They finally have berries and the yellow rumors warblers have found them. Pretty happy about that.

Phone shot of a green heron from this afternoon.

After Katrina I let the endless horrible comments from the many awful people among us get to me. I should have tuned it out and paid attention to the good people that were helping. All these bad comments about Los Angeles are noise from terrible people.

Just a few pelicans at the dam on bayou St. John

My favorite bike that I ever owned isn’t really flashy, an early 90s Bridgestone hybrid, is back with new wheels.

Trying to find decent recipes on google has become impossible

1990s bikes in various stages of rehabilitation. This is my home office, I really don’t know what to say for myself.

🌱 It’s a very warm December and the butterfly ginger in my yard is blooming.

Should we call poison ivy venomous ivy since we don’t eat it?
