I've been checking in but have been offline much of the summer. New album is almost done. Life happens. Here's some of my favorite images from the summer. #birds #gardening #mycology #mushrooms #nativeplants #lizards #insects #moon #photography

I saw this fella from 25 feet away because its eyes were glowing in my headlamp. A wolf spider I think. #spiders #bugs

It's drum day! Despite my background being drumming, this is always the hardest day for some reason. We build a bastard super kit from all my favorites. Gretch toms, my dw kick and snare, and every cymbal on deck ;)

I got to spend time with this cute lil fella today who was living in the burrow of someone he ate and using their fur as furniture.(look it up) He was very curious! #wildlife #photography #ermine #stoat #nature

Latest read, I try to alternate fiction and non. The bomber Mafia tells a story of lofty idealism that wasn't cutting it, leading to stunningly tragic events.

This "stage" was in the middle of a dark curtain of rain from a large thunderstorm. It was downright wild looking! #storms #sky

Lesser goldfinch (Spinus psaltria) are the cutest lil things ever. They're not a lot bigger than our broad-tailed hummingbirds. #birds #birdphotography

Our prolonged drought has made gardening a challenge this year so I stayed small, but did manage some nice chiles. This one is called "super chili" and it's mostly an ornamental but the peppers are like the lil mean bastards you find in general tsos chicken.

This is either Paradejeania rutilioides or Adejeania vexatrix, can't say because I'm a plant guy not a bug guy. The flowers? I dunno some kinda onion :D Any bug folks want to weigh in? This was SW Colorado. #bugs #photography

Some sort of tachinid fly, no idea which, on an onion flower.

Post four albums that influenced your music and tag 2-4 artists to do the same. @chaosdoll.bsky.social @joetavano.bsky.social @dylanrushmusic.bsky.social @coseyfannitutti.bsky.social In both cases the first four that popped into my head :)

One native plant I've allowed free reign in my garden is Oenothera caespitosa, the evening primrose. Food for several sphinx moth species, its flowers open at night and persist until afternoon. The entire canyon smells like a perfume counter. #flowers #gardensky #gardening

In other news, I got a new/used mountain bike. My old mtb's frame cracked shortly before we started having kids, so I was stuck on gravel and road for the last 6 or 7 years. It is nice to be back! #bikes 🚲

Even though my state flower is Aquilegia coerulea, I actually enjoy A. elegantula a bit more. It is more like a subtle creature of the forest floor than the belle of the ball. #wildflowers #nativeplants #photography #plants

I've written music and performed in bands all my life, but became "oblee" in the virtual world of @secondlife.bsky.social. In the early days I'd play for a small handful of people or even just the venue owner, but their support of my original music built my confidence to produce and share it.

This nice gal was hanging out in my driveway this evening. She doesn't go far, probably nesting, were isolated enough that it's quiet, but noisy enough to keep her predators at bay a bit. #birds #birdsky #turkey #springtime
