New sighting of Cardinal Pizzaballa (named after Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa)! He's plumping up on Eastern Red Cedar Tree seeds in the front yard. Seeds and nuts were set out for him to dine upon in March of this year. Need to keep him PLUMP! #birds #nature #cardinals

While providing guidance to a Black Swallowtail Caterpillar that was lost on the backyard shed, I noticed a tiny shiny spot on the cement. A droplet of some kind of adhesive? Nope. It was the egg case of an Ant Mimic Castianeira Spider! Baby spiders emerged after I lifted it off the concrete.

Black Swallowtail caterpillar moving along the edge of a shed made of galvanized steel with a concrete base.

Small and shiny spot that looks like a droplet of paint or adhesive on the edge of the galvanized steel and concrete. It's actually a spider's egg sac.

The shiny egg sac is broken open and small brown spiders crawl out onto concrete. These spiders are meant to hatch in the Fall, so I think they're going to be okay. I had no idea this was an egg sac.

This Big Queen is operating some serious integrated air moving equipment. It was the sound of this large olive sized beast that first caught my attention.

He is asking America to pretend. Pretend he's not in the Epstein Files. Pretend destroying Iran has benefits to anyone. Pretend that there's no climate crisis. Pretend that he's not stealing us blind. Pretend that things are okay. Things are not okay.

It's been loud in the evenings this Summer. Lots of stridulations. Buzzing, chirping and rasping noises. I knew there were tree frogs in the mix. Now, they have been found. This is a Gray Treefrog. But it's green. This is because they can change color to match their background. #frogs #nature

Gray Treefrog that has turned green to match the green of the leaves of the Grape Leaf Vine that surrounds it.

The backyard is now overrun with Brown Eyed Susan. These flowers are receiving constant attention from a horde of Goldenrod Soldier Beetles. But, over on a neighboring Goldenrod plant I found a Potter Wasp. This is the species that makes these wonderful tiny mud nests on our house. #nature #bugs

My favorite wasp is the gentle Bumblebee. Always appreciated the wasp's restraint. When my child was a toddler he grabbed one off a flower. The Bumblebee was trapped in his tiny fist. I convinced him to let the bee go. When he opened his hand the Bumblebee just flew away. Without hard feelings.

Heard a scary buzzing sound and found this female Great Black Wasp feeding on our Gooseneck Loosestrife. This is a big spooky lady. About 1.5 inches! They paralyze Grasshoppers and Crickets. Take them to an underground nest where their wasp children feed on them, alive, for weeks! #bugsky #nature

Today's pondlife. Our backyard continues to be a great habitat for beautiful waterfowl. The Wood Ducks have such arresting red eyes! And this Great Blue Heron was holding this pose for long time. I suppose for drying its wings in the sun. #birds #nature #ponds #ducks #herons #photography

About this drawing, "All The Faces The Crow Remembers." There are over 480 faces. The crows are from mostly original photos. The faces were found in the clouds of fine charcoal dust worked into the paper. An exercise in pareidolia. There is only one face of a celebrity. #art #drawing #charcoal

Got around to framing up my drawing, All The Faces The Crow Remembers. 1st, mounted the 16 panels on primed 1/8" MDF. Spoons came in handy to keep edges and corners from lifting up during adhesion. 2nd, I made a custom window for framing the panels. #art #drawings #traditionalart

Mounting 16 individual drawings on 1/8" MDF. Used PH Neutral PVA adhesive. Spoons worked well to keep edges down flat.

At the start of Winter we had quite a few Eastern gray squirrels in the backyard. Then various raptors started feeding on the population. Hard to find any gray squirrels now. But, this one Red squirrel remains. I imagine it's reciting the "Litany Against Fear" now. #squirrels #nature #photography

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

"The Litany Against Fear" is a famous mantra from Frank Herbert's "Dune" novel, used by the Bene Gesserit to overcome fear through mental discipline
