I figure this is a Russian nesting pepper. #groceries

A bell pepper sliced open on a green cutting board. The left half is empty and orange. In the right half, a smaller, pale yellow-green pepper with a wrinkled surface sits nestled in the center.

This is Claude; he's a frog. The joke about his last name is far too obvious.

A frog with green and brown mottled skin and a prominent eardrum, camouflaged in leaf litter at night.

A decagon shaped cloud formation has appeared on Saturn's south pole. That's in addition to the long-standing hexagon shaped cloud formation on the north pole. They're doubtless made up entirely of shapes with the same dimensions as the Tycho monolith. #Saturn #hubble #photo #SpaceOdyssey

I know it's just a #Halloween decoration, but yikes, that one's definitely a bit scary! #Costco

A skeleton decoration with an oversized, grinning skull and black-and-white ribbed rib cage leans forward over the peaked roof of a gray, shingle-style display shed, arms resting on the ridge. The store's open warehouse ceiling with exposed metal rafters and skylights is visible above.

You really have to appreciate the part in IKEA's instructions where they remind you to have a friend help you smash it to pieces. #ikea #flatpack #furniture

I just watched a set of trailers advertising that pretty much every Marvel franchise will return for Avengers: Doomsday. This raises a vital question: What about Howard the Duck? #Avengers #Doomsday #movie #HowardTheDuck

A new Ubuntu install just surprised me by offering to update firmware on a seven year old laptop that had previously been running Windows 10. I imagine others will tell me this is not at all unusual, I'm just surprised I've not encountered it on previous Ubuntu installs.

If you come back from a trip to the store, and your #dog doesn't go completely crazy with joy at your return ... it's probably time to sit down and do some serious self-examination. #DogLife

I'm not Catholic; not even good at attending church on a regular basis. But I enjoyed the discussion of Pope Leo's Encyclical Letter (there's even a Princess Bride reference). Now, I'm feeling a need to read it myself.

One bulb, two spikes, eight flowers. A veritable explosion of red on the deck today. #red #gardening #flowers #amaryllis #bloom

Several deep red amaryllis flowers in full bloom on thick green stalks, supported by metal plant stakes, with a wooden deck railing and garden visible in the background.

I usually get the amaryllises started in February. I’m a bit behind this year, but they’re still gorgeous. #amaryllis #flowers #gardening #rec

A large red amaryllis in full bloom, its six wide petals dotted with raindrops. Cream-tipped stamens extend from the deep red center. A second bloom rises partially open in the background.

Red amaryllis flowers at different bloom stages: fully open blooms with wide petals and white-tipped stamens, alongside tightly closed deep burgundy buds. Rain droplets dot the petals.

We’ve seen fledglings of other species already, ship probably not. But it’s been several years since we last saw Woodrow, her presumed mate. Hopefully he’s just found another food source, but I worry
