We reiterate, every time the lowest most base concepts of rights or responsibilities or even human respect are called out from abroad, at levels only the shitholiest of shitholes wouldn’t have written into law, our national motto: “That depends on how much you pay your lawyer and congresscritter”

If you see this, post a bird. Key West chicken
The scene is below decks at a Key West restaurant patio. The floor is a gray decking and one orange chicken lady (with dark butt feathers) begs alongside a gorgeous deep red rooster with full cherry comb above and below his face and those oily rainbow dark black feathers for wing and tail. 
If ya gots a thing for feets this chicken might be your spirit animal

Honestly not the best pic just the one from today. She is freakin’ photogenic beyond all reasoning.
This is Ruby, and I tried to put in here a picture of her being less photogenic but even with her tongue out she’s too gobbley cute. She’s a red heeler (Australian Cattledog) and she’s sitting in a small footpath in the forest to the right of a cedar stump 70% her height. She’s sporting her jaunty spring green harness.

Watch out for resentment. Let it be the entirety of your religion to not do anything you would resent later. Important - often this means you gotta take yourself outside and have a good talking to you about your attitude. Then you are free to do it without the childish resentment.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations ⤵️

Beautyberry tiny nest 🩵
The picture is a peering into a Beautyberry bush. Around three points of the edge are bunches of the purple berry clumps (these American Beautyberry plants do better clumps than the non-native). The berries contrast nicely with the light green leaves that duck into the view and surround the small nest. 
The nest is a cute twisted circle of brown sub-twigs, containing two blue-cast eggs peeking from under a few small dead leaves.

If ever asked for advice, insist to the point of being rabid on how important it is to floss. People will assume you floss. This allows you to bully them into flossing. No, gotta do it three times a day, bub! Invest your money in each step of the entire industry-path that makes floss.

Spring at the northern 34th parallel
Focus in this pic is on the first bloom from a small peach tree.  The bloom wraps slightly-dark pink petals in an oval pointing slightly down and leftward. Within the hollow of the petal enclosure are light yellow stems of the pistils topped with their orange fuzzy pollen pops. 
The bloom hangs to the left of the small twig of the tree, which is sporting another barely-evident bud at its top. In the blurred background is a full field of green grass field, still short from the winter, and a few other twigs from the tree, one with a green leaf starting at the tip and another with a pink nub of a future bloom. 
The picture looks satisfying, as if winter is done, but here these trees may have to make 2 or even 3 tries at spring since the evil weather freeze-god will keep coming in to try to vanquish all possible life forms.

Daybreak fire
The saturated picture shows a lower section of a winding gravel path through greenish-brown fieldgrass curing past a dark barn with white highlight trim. Beyond that section are the winter skeletons of tall trees, sparse at the edges of the picture but with a dense leafless group in the center. These dark trees foil the sky behind them which is a gradient from the horizon being a bloody/orange pre-sunrise that looks like a fire giving off the pastel pinks and fluffy purple and magenta cloud deck as if they were smoke.

It goes back in the bucket so I can retrieve it, or it gets the hose again (Edited 7:50 AM via @skeetsapp.com)

This is what the forest is advertising today. Better than anything else I’ve seen in adverts.
After a cold rain, the forest floor is blobbed with glistening dark brown dead leaves, mostly belly-up and twisted into shapes as gorgeous as the orange mushroom pair in the main focus.  The pair of mushrooms are a dull yet bright orange with only a few tiny flecks of white upon them. It’s a May-December pair of orange caps, with the elder having opened wide and spread to the point that her edges yellow and fringe white, while the hearty youth has a cap that is tightly-held beneath her and remains entirely orange.  Perhaps the elder took the brunt of the cold as a wild wrinkled shield, and the younger caresses her gills with a mild upward touch.

Over a year ago, the turnip dog.
The very young Ruby red heeler, over a year ago, is just much tinier with her shnozz and ears ruling over her mostly-white-fur face. She is dressed in an extremely-fashionable neon pink harness and is seated at the edge of the field of turnips, harpooning the camera lens withher attention. There is a small 20% lower right of the background that is a brown powder scrabble-dirt, but the remainder of the field of view is just a lush dark green carpet of shiny jagged and poofy turnip leaves. 
This picture delivers a focus to the dog, without losing a single git of the turnip greens’ traction.

A wintertime walk. A wintertime growth and loss.
Fluffy pretty lightly-yellowish green moss, still vibrant through the winter cold.  A few darker green leafy sprouts dance among the mossy tousled wig. And further along I the moss lies a northern mockingbird, grey feathered belly upwards with mussy feathers, a tail and wings askew and un-right, and tightly-dead feet and claws. I suspect it won’t last long - the local hawk or some ground-dwelling thing will decide the final resting place for this bird.

Pink mushroom day
A stinkhorn which goes by the name of “devil’s dipstick” since it is pink and lengthy and looks turgid and horny. The base is much lighter almost white-pink and it has a gradient of color through a heavy pink blush for the top half. 
The stinkhorn is close-cropped showing just a bit of field grass some weeds and a few fallen leaves.  
Instead of an almost pornographic name, I’ve decided this is to be named the Christmas Horn. This wee (normal shaped) mushroom is also a blushing pink. The base is barely pink at all but the head looks translucent and red-pink and textured like leather all at the same time. 
She’s a very wee little mushroom, perhaps the size of a lima bean at best, so the picture being close-in shows only a part of the back of a couple of leaves and a pine straw or two, as that’s what lives in this part of the forest.

Dog meditations
Yes, it’s the red heeler again. 
She’s perched on a boulder the size of a small boulder, which is covered in this forest’s signature set of mid-green moss and light teal lichens all splotchy in the way that nature does her art. 
Ruby the red heeler is almost facing the camera making her front prominent.  She is sporting a gorgeous black harness from rabbitgoo that was a great find at the thrift store. It has reflector edges that can only be seen under flashlight in the dark, so that’s not seen in this picture. She looks to be standing relaxed atop this boulder, ears perked, and eyes lightly closed. She must be meditating and in full communion with the forest, pictured in the background as some tree bases and heavy leaf coverage.

A picture of several different moss growths on a large limestone boulder. Near center is a brown-slightly-green circular patch ringed by light growth that looks akin to a meteor strike upon the moon. The other swaths of moss are colored a light teal, mid green, light green, and the aforementioned brown-green, with the tufts of moss reaching above the other growths being the vibrant green that looks most lively. 
tl;dr moss on rock

This is a portrait-focus picture of a red heeler dog, about 50 lbs, mostly a very light brownish slightly-red color. Her head has a lighter patch on top in the form of a six-tentacle splat and that lightness wanders down between the eyes across the top of the nose. 
She is sitting on her haunches in a woodsy area, but most of the leaves are blurred out to make her the solid focus of the picture. Her ears are perky as she gazes towards the camera, mouth just barely open enough to see a mild smile of her teeth. 
She is wearing a black halter.

Nightfall with the lone soldier dead tree and her remaining limbs black against the light. The fingernail-clipping early moon hangs between two limbs.
