Just another friendly dumbass, leery of the mob. Natural history, rationality, paying attention, doodling, (occasionally venomous doodling), and cookies. First, do no harm.

I woke up this morning from a dream where myriad evil little Republican Oompa-Loompas were sucking the blood out of me. Weird, disturbing, and the diminutive schmucks probably make really shitty candy. Willy Wonka would be pissed. #art #cartoons #illustrations #republicans #political

I find it curious how some dogs, with their exquisite sense of smell, still have to stick their schnozz right in there, point blank, and then sniff for all eternity. #art #illustration #dogs

Good morning. Make just one person’s day just a tiny bit better today. Or two people if you’re feeling ambitious. It helps everything. #photography #sunrise #sunset

Music is hard for some of us. But I still love it. #music #art

Iron Cross Blister Beetle. Lovely name. I found this one running insanely on a hot parking lot. Getting a photo of it entailed me following, bent over, struggling to get it in the frame and in focus. It ran, I followed, and it tried to lead me into traffic. #art #photography #insects #beetles

Which is turned backwards? Head or body? How can that not hurt? #Art #photography #wildlife #birds #owls

No task I take less seriously than doing dishes…,. #humor #kitchen #dishes

At a farmers market. Local, wild honeybees know when they’ve found a sweet deal. (Nobody was stung in the making of this post.) #art #photography #insects #honeybees

Crap. I nearly stuck my mug in this big girl’s web while on a walk. That wouldn’t have ended well for anyone. (FYI. She’s shy, harmless, not from these parts, and the size of a ham….or so it seems). #art #photography #invertebrates #spiders

I was thinking of pledging to remain in the shower drinking beer till this administration is gone, but it occurred to me that that’s probably not an effective strategy for dealing with this insanity. …..I may revisit that decision….. #art #illustration #drinkingintheshower #pointlessprotests

Chef want eggs? Chef get eggs. Have a nutritious day. #art #illustration #eggs

Another fine day to bait a few craven legislators……. #art #illustration #congress

Spring. Sonoran desert. Of last year. #art #photography #desert

Cycling hazard. Arizona. A crappy rendering of a javelina, but I’m sure you’ll get the drift. Hopefully, it’ll give you a moment of amusement. #art #illustration #cycling #javelina

How compassionate….. Meta approves plan for bigger executive bonuses following 5% layoffs www.cnbc.com/2025/02/20/m...

A young horned lizard. It refused to give way on a hiking trail. They’ve both resilience and calm. And a stoic expression. We should all be a bit more like a horned lizard. #art #photography #reptiles #lizards #attitude

Good morning. Last night I dreamt that I ran the country……it was predictably disturbing….and a bit amusing. That said, I hope everyone has a day that’s at least slightly better than yesterday. My apologies if I drove the country into the rocks while sleeping. #art #illustration #selfportrait

It’s actually a very diverse group, isn’t it…..? #art #illustration #supportanimals

You know the anxiety is getting intense when even house pets are self medicating….. #art #illustration #pets #cats #alcoholabuse

Teething, it seems?? #art #photography #dogs

Bonking in 3…..2…..1…… (An esoteric drawing which likely won’t get much attention, but I suspect there’re a few riders out there who understand all too well.) Whatever your sport of choice, carry on. #art #illustration #bicycling

This is why people plant stuff geared toward pollinators instead of (gag) lawns. (Don’t get me started.) If you happen to like a monoculture of Kentucky Blue, then do your research and learn how to do it without trashing the biome. #art #photography #insects #butterflies #pollinators

Your morning reptile…. A female Blandings turtle, found last Spring. Escorted (carried) her away from traffic, gave her a pat on the carapace and bid her a damp adieux near her destination pond. Good morning. #art #photography #reptiles #turtles

I reached for a pair of socks, and…… #art #photography #cats #socks

A bit of a rhubarb between young herons in the rookery. (Last year). #art #photography #birds #herons

‘Charlotte’s Web’: Not a story of domestic bliss. (Yeah, that’s weird, I know, but I’m tired. Please don’t sue me.) #art #illustration #Charlottesweb

Can TSA accommodate a hive of Support Bees? #art #illustration #security #bees

Me: “what the hell, dude?!” Him: “BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” #art #photography #cats

I like it when the peepers come out in Spring. I fall to sleep listening to them with windows open. #art #photography #frogs #wildlife

From last fall. Wet weather, so I had the place to myself. Peace. A reminder. #art #photography #beaverpond

Don’t forget to change the cat litter. They can remind you in really unpleasant ways. #art #illustration #cats

I have a New Administrative Assistant it seems….. #photography #cats #art

How can anyone possibly sanction this psycho’s behavior? I mean, really. Will somebody please just remove him from office? How long before he wears an aluminum foil hat to address congress? #trump #psychosis #unfit

Some days my body image isn’t at its peak…. #art #illustration #taichi #bodyimage

Sending a dozen of these to Mar-a-Lago seems like a good idea… (I wish I knew who wrote this. They deserve great credit.) #Trump #golfcoursedamage #javelina

It’s freaking cold here, and the wooly mammoths in the yard are at the bird feeder again, fuck all!! #art #illustrations #mammoths

House Panther. Directly in my face. Again. (Seriously, I barely got the phone between us.) What’ve I done now?? Also, she’s putting on weight. #art #photography #pets #cats

Nope. I’m not anxious at all. #art #illustration #cartoon #anxiety

I tried baking bread once. #art #photography #cooking #baking

Galapagos in the early 90’s. I hope they’ve taken care of the place. Experiencing awe doesn’t need to be destructive. #art #photography #wildlife #sealions #galapagos

An old but quick rough. Tell me you’ve never felt like doing this. #art #illustration #dogs #dogsincars

Puppies rule. #art #illustration #puppies #dogs #teething

Even the mushrooms are getting organized. #art #photography #mushrooms #fairyring

I should never be asked to help Prepare a meal. Here’s a nice, colorful slug. It’s unlikely I’ll be asked to chop veggies again anytime soon. #art #food #vegetables

Road Runner. And offspring. Feeding the kiddies is an endless task. This family elected to make their home in a facility heavily traveled by tourists. People walked within two feet of the nest and never noticed. It says something about paying attention. #art #photography #birds #roadrunners
