I would have sworn when it was just me and the iPhone that this shot was in focus! Not one bit. (I mean the spider.)
We made and changed plans seventeen times today. The house is clean and we are enjoying it. This is good.

I think the spider noticed the infrared (or maybe just a misleading red dot), and went into hiding behind the…silk blob. Or maybe I’m just not the wildlife photographer…I hope I am.

Long story (maybe) but, we’ve (royal “we”) got some natural history-chops, and…hmm, this carbon-caterpillar, however beautiful, is…mysterious. Taxonomically. (And maybe more.)

I’m feeling recycled today. Thus, this photo is from a month ago.
Kudos to the KW for a decade of blahgging!

Little guy/gal came within two meters of us, up in the grove. Over in the field, mom-doe was snorting/whistling/calling.

I have not heard that the pesticides, weather, mites, whatever the toxic soup of factors is that’s been battering the honeybee population has been affecting the bumblers*. We had several visiting our bee balm today.
* Maybe not, but habitat problems have to be in play, at minimum….

Five-lined skink, I think, that I spotted the other week in VA. Love the blue tail…that may mark it as a juvenile?
Hockey? Baseball!
Different channels.
And, I venture, a different mindset to boot.

This lovely flutterby was enjoying the rays and I could see how tattered s/he is, I assume from a long trip north from somewhere far away.

I’m being casual even though my hair was removed last week, and I don’t like my bony body image. Notice how cool I am with this gras, though.
Scary thing: as I was composing this, maybe three and a half hours after our farm visit, I found a tick running up my neck. Running is better than stopped. Now headed for the shower & a detailed TICK CHECK….
