I went back to the woods to check on the giant mushrooms I found ( c.im/@cetan/117333487781418258 ) only to encounter a found odor and, after some searching, a recently deceased whitetail deer. Later in the day the wind shifted and now the smell of death and decay is washing over the […]

What a sign of the times when the county elections office says "maybe don't trust the institution of the postal service to follow through on your civic duty."

A notice for mail/absentee voters in Montgomery County, advising them to submit their ballot-return envelope at a County Drop Box or in person to avoid potential issues with the U.S. Postal Service. It includes details about the general election date of November.

From a recent hike through the nearby fen. The wind was blowing a bit and these flowers are on approx. 6 foot (1.8 meter) stems so it was a challenge. #flowers #fen #photography #bloomscrolling #northernillinois

A orange safety cone is positioned at the end of the newly painted white line. part of the photographers shadow is seen on the left side of the frame (legs and waist)

I wish this was a slightly sharper photograph but the lily flower was moving slightly in the breeze (the hoverfly was holding steady). Still a decent macro effort from me at the time as I was learning. Taken July 2013. #macro #photography #hoverfly #lily #stargazerlily #insect #throwbackthursday
