Big difference from 80°F last night to near freezing today. We got outside to enjoy anyhow. Hope your cooler day went well. Got some blooms opening outside. The hummingbirds are pretty quick to find them when they open so 🤞 #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #getoutside #aprilshowers

Laughing Gulls (Charadriiformes: Laridae: Leucophaeus atricilla) feed on a wide variety of invertebrates and fish, so they're mainly found near coasts. They spend summers as far north as the Great Lakes and Maine and migrate south in winter. Padre Island National Seashore, Texas, 17 Jun 2017.

Someone memorialized a dead bat down by the park. Rest in peace little buddy 🦇 🌅
Rocks anchor piece of paper at base of large tree with the words dead bat written in marker and an arrow pointing to an actual dead bat resting at the bottom of the paper. Sign at base of tree pointing to an actual dead bat displayed Moses dragging his leash on path next to the impromptu dead bat memorial

Hey #gardening people. I have no idea what I'm doing so I let the kids pick some seed packs, put them in dirt under a grow lamp, water and this is what happened so far. When r u supposed to plant #indoors? #flowers and vegetables? #greenthumbs ? #seedlings #learndirt

Sorry, that isn't right. Fortunately we live outside our city limits but in the town so city ordinances are moot and the rest of us are mountain dwellers. Just happen to live next to a very, I dunno, unneighborly without being overtly unneighborly.

Seedlings under a grow lamp. I don't know what I'm doing so I germinated some seeds and moved them into pots after they sprouted. They seem to be growing decently. Hopefully they turn into lots of beautiful of flowers... Thinking about doing Aquaponics. Fish and flowers 🤔 #gardening #flowers

It's from the heart...and all our hearts are a bit broken right now so we all get it. 😉 Maybe we can set up a Bluesky designated event here in the Catskills. Find a good local event or celebration in the area and wear a super secret bluesky pin...(1/2)

Miss my bike on days like these. A motorcycle makes the start of spring even more anticipatory. Drive safe and have a great spring start!

Give them a warm welcome from me too. Beautiful! (The plants emerging is my favorite part of spring. I heard two large gaggles of geese flying in overhead but they were at serious altitude and over the clouds. I was surprised I could hear them so clearly) Thanks and have a wonderful spring start! 🏞️

I love that sound. I remember well a small Wisconsin lake we fished because after a perfect summer day, the frogs and crickets started singing quietly as the sun grew low then crescendoed into the most amazingly loud and beautiful chorus I've ever heard. It was magical. I was 7 or 8. So peaceful. ❤️

Happy happy tired dog. Finally warm enough to take Moses with us on our hike to the park today and he was overjoyed. I hope you're day went well and you get to stretch out and enjoy climbing into bed. Pleasant dreams everyone. Love ❤️ and Peace 🕊️ #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Decent people with good hearts are expected to be in disarray right now. Too much empathy??? Oh please. "You're compassion will be your undoing." You know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm working to stay detached a bit. Avoiding social media. Pacing a lot. You aren't alone bro 🕊️ and ♥️.

The moon. Tuesday morning 6:33am est, a lunar eclipse/blood moon reaches its maximum. A blood moon refers to the reddish hue the moon assumes passing through Earth's shadow. Rise early, have some coffee and enjoy the show! (weather permitting) #lunareclipse #bloodmoon #nature #photography

Hiking in the woods when every crow in the county showed up. Groups of five or six just kept streaming in from the valley for the last half hour, setting up farther back over the hill and they are LOUD. I wasn't invited, so I left. Hope the murder has a killer time. 😁 Have a good night everyone! 🌃

I am ready to bid farewell to February and especially to the cold. I'm ready to pack away my winter gear, put on shorts and GO. But I'm probably being a bit premature... Have a good night and a wonderful Friday morning! #hiking #nature #photography
