I find photographing flowers very uplifting. When I was younger, doing creative work helped me cope. These days it feels much lighter. (I guess it worked?) Passiflora 'Susan Brigham' under UV light.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

A closeup of a tabby cat, Joe, sound asleep on a desk. He's on his back with one fat polydactyl paw tucked into his chest, and the other reaching toward the camera. One eye is open and his mouth is open enough to show his fangs. His belly floof is luxurious, and shining in the sunlight.

One of the last wildflowers blooming here as the weather cools, the Common Dayflower (Commelina communis) is a hardy introduction. Also known as the Asiatic Dayflower, reflecting its origin. #BloomScrolling #ColorADay #BlueTue

Common Dayflower (Commelina communis), which has three petals like our native Virginia Dayflower (Commelina virginica), but the third petal at the bottom is vestigial, being small and colorless.

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.

A photo of an adorable chonky orange and yellow Sweet Bay Silk Moth from the front as it rests on a brown pine needle. The moth's legs, and body is covered in fluffy fur-like rust orange scales. Its thick forelegs are mostly clustered around the front. One dark eye is visible, the other lost in shadow, the yellow feathery antennae peeking out from above. Its large wings are held partly open behind it and a small yellowish leafhopper is hitching a ride on the leading edge of the moth's left wing .

Anyways, I have posted too much today without any #bug content, so here is a Red Bull Assassin Bug, Repipta taurus. At a glance very similar to the Milkweed Assassin Bug, zelus Longipes, but this has spines and cute little 'horns' 😍 #MacroPhotography #Insects #Nature #Awe and #wonder

A photo of an orange and black assassin bug from the side as it walks across a white surface. The bug has long slender black antennae and shiny black eyes. It's long piercing mouthparts are tucked under the head. Behind the Antennae are two short red and black horn-like appendages. The pronotum, the area behind the head, is orange and black with 4 spines. The Legs are long and slender, orange close to the body but black the rest of the way. The abdomen, just visible under the flat orange bordered black wings, is orange.

Three years ago today, I experienced terror as I have never known it. In the dark, we huddled as the sky turned against us. A hour and a half of howling wind-fury and lightning so fierce it looked like we had a cop car parked outside. #HurricaneHelene #art

The eye is represented by a black diamond in the center flanked on either side by 2 scythe like angular arms representing the destructive winds that swirl around it.
