If someone did this with me and I didn't have context, I would start to hate them right away.

A 5 minute walk is still a walk and we get to hear and see things for our starved weirdo brains

I don't understand, and will never understand, the urge to video call or converse over speakerphone in public spaces. Not only do you give up any privacy, but you annoy everyone around you.

Neither; you're a fellow weirdo.

My bird pictures have been absent for some time now. That's partially because the birds don't care about my seeds right now but also because I hate the sun and warmth.

I need more description of the dog. How did the dog feel? Was it pleased with its experience?

You've gotta Google 'great tit bird', Ally

Michael @alteredspate.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
I failed many times with that jay. This is the best of the lot, sorry. Also I failed completely with the Great tits but if you don't know what they look like you can look them up. They're cute.

Today's walk for #birds was pretty good. We saw 13 different types of birds in our local park. Here's one of the crows we're making friends with. #photography

That little wagtail jumped up onto my picnic table and stood directly in front of me for ages only to fly away the second I turned on the camera.

Woods walk #photography
Bright green moss on a log. It looks soft, and reminds me of a 70s shag carpet.Two craggy looking trees reaching up into a blue sky. There are no leaves on them because it's winter.Leaf-littered rudimentary steps made with railroad sleepers or something similar going up a hillside lined with trees and shrubs. The sky is blue.
