Several thousand patriotic Americans assembled in Greenville, SC! It was awesome. 😎

We had a really good turnout! I have no idea how to estimate crowd size but it was in the hundreds which is pretty good for deep red South Carolina.

More from the rally in Greenville SC.

Rue Anemone (white flowers) and Trout Lily (yellow) are in bloom in South Carolina…assuming you can find woods that haven’t been recently logged and sprayed with herbicide.

Red sky in the morning over Lake Greenwood, South Carolina. A beautiful foretelling of rough weather this weekend.

Looking eastward across the lake. The early morning sun paints the clouds with a palette of red, blood orange, and purple.

Look at what my super awesome wife gave to me!!! We really like Staub pots anyway but this one really speaks to me for some reason. I love it!

I found this little lady opossum on the outside of my chicken coop. Sorry ma’am, the dining room is closed this evening. #chickens #wildlife #coexist

I have alerted the USGS to the problem. Hopefully there’s still someone employed to correct the issue.

I use Google Maps almost every day for work. I often contribute fixes to addresses that are mislabeled or in a different location. For years, I have helped make Maps more accurate. I tried to help them again today. I hope they are listening. #GulfOfMexico

On this, the 12th day of the Year of the Snake, I found my first snake of the year! This beautiful adult female cornsnake (Pantherophis guttatus) was sunning itself in the middle of the road. I moved her to safety but took a few photos first. #SouthCarolina #Snakes #wildlife

It looks like a flag from my home state of South Carolina, but from an alternate universe, hopefully one without the madness of maga.

He beau might object. He’s a jealous cock.

Now that the days are getting longer my ladies are beginning to ramp up egg production. Soon I’ll have more than I can eat.

In this real photo, First Felon, Donald Trump and (I assume) a Melania stand-in watch as the last of democracy burns away. #InaugurationDay

If we don’t speak up when our leaders do bad things they will mistake our silence for consent and complicity. #MLKday #InaugurationDay

Meet Mia d’Meter, my formerly feral feline. She has the remarkable and slightly unsettling ability to withdraw her left arm (which ends just below the elbow joint) into her body, leaving the skin dangling like an empty coat sleeve. #NubOfDeath #adorable #cats #luckyfin

The Opossuming: Part 2! Little Girl has figured out that the coop is locked at dusk. So apparently she sneaked in sometime before that and hid out in the nest box until dark. Good thing I doubled checked! #wildlife #coexist #keepingchickens

The bots on BlueSky are awful. But I suppose they are smart enough to realize that maga-cultists make easy targets since they are pre-selected for high gullibility.

I spotted a huge drone yesterday evening!

We usually make a point of locking up our chickens before dusk. Tonight, the time slipped up on me and night fell. In the few minutes of darkness, a terrifying beast invaded the structure, seeking to fill its belly with an easy meal! Be warned! The video is not for the faint of heart!

This is a bot, right? No posts, no replies. 439 followers, 2,400 following?!? Hey @bsky.app , are you not seeing these fake accounts? Hire me and I’ll collect lists of them for you every week, ok?

Win Ott @winott.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

The sad thing is that the first “like” on my post… seems to be a bot. @bsky.app are you aware that we are drowning in bots down here?

Sure it’s colder than a very cold thing, here in South Carolina right now. But if the sun is out, then so are herps (reptiles and amphibians). This is a Northern Cricket Frog, active in a creek near my home.
