Adding that ink to the list 😻

writing in all-caps in a blue ink with gold sparkle, reading "ver nice, fresh fill, wearingeul 20,000 leagues under the sea, where did my square memo pad go?? it has grown leggys?? walked away??" on plain lined paper

a super close up of a few letters, showing the pretty blue ink and the gold shimmer

Refill time, refill time *rings dinner bell* *fountain pens flutter out of the sky and begin to sip*

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

oh the beauty.

Some shots of vehicles I designed for Marathon. One ended up in the animated short and the others are in game. Once again, huge thanks to the world art and palette team for taking my work and pushing it 💙

Hoping I can get one at the light this weekend/next week. While it was nice and warm here (TOO SOON) this week, my UV lights cannot compete with the full moon 😂

Magnificent giant soft green moth with 4 eye spots and long twisty "tail", at rest with wings spread on the side of a pine

Luuuuuuuuuunaaaaaa 💚

Few local creatures stop me in my tracks like this, just the sheer size and soft colors and markings. Like, welp, day instantly better.

They use "personal freedom" as a mask for weaponized selfishness.

Desolation from the Calwood Fire at Heil Valley Ranch Open Space

Black skeletons of trees in the desolation of the Calwood Fire at Heil Valley Ranch Open Space 🔥 🌿 🔥 #FallBack to Sep. 5

Yesterday seven acres burned here in the Calwood Fire burn scar: www.denver7.com/news/wildfir...

i'ma have to remember that one.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. May the full weight of justice fall upon her and all her collaborators. May the evil she has done haunt her through this life and into the next. May she find the "mercy" she gave to so many. 😡

A photo of a chonky green and brown cicada balanced on my thumb. The cicada has transparent net-like wings which cover it's black and white abdomen. IT's head and forebody are brown with green accents, it has gray/brown eyes mottled with black spots.

They are gloriously chonky. I have a LARGE hand, and he's the size of my thumb! Almost 3 inches long.😁

A macro photograph of the face of a large green and brown cicada. The cicada has gray eyes mottled with black spots. Three ocelli, primitive eyes are in the center of the head in an inverted triangle, the top two are red, the lower one is a translucent pink. The face is over all black with green accents, the legs are green in the thighs and brown towards the ends, the insect is overall covered in tiny white hairs.

Close-up woodland floor scene among moss (a bryophyte). A pale lace-like skeletonised leaf lies across a dark decaying leaf, the fine network of veins still intact while the softer leaf tissue has disappeared. Bright green feathery moss surrounds it, with a small woodland seedling and a catkin nearby.

I saw this while looking at moss today...

A photo of the head and forebody of a tan praying mantis. The mantis has large purplish gray eyes, its slightly folded raptorial arms are covered in sharp black spines.

Photo of a blue-green lichen growing on a birch tree. The lichen is in sort of an octopus shaped mound, with frilly edges instead of tentacles. It’s covered in numerous disc shaped apothecia which have blue-grey edges and dark brown centres.

A photo of a white arrowhead-shaped Giant Leopard Moth resting on a wood table. The moth has dark markings, some ring shaped, some spots, these marks look black from a distance but are a deep iridescent blue.

A closeup of the head of a white Giant Leopard Moth taken low and from the front. The moth's slender antennae extend to the left and right of the frame, it's dome-like body rises above the head, the eyes tucked underneath are orange in this light. The body, is marked with dark iridescent blue spots and the legs and head also have some of these markings.

A photo of an arrowhead-shaped giant leopard moth resting on a white sheet. Unlike the other moth in this post, the dark markings on this example are almost entirely ring shaped.

A close up photo of the wing juncture of a Giant leopard moth. The wings themselves are marked with dark iridescent blue rings. The space between the wings is a long triangle filled with these blue scales. The area above the wing juncture is marked with irregular blue spots which shine intensely in this light.

Giant Leopard #Moths, Hypercompe scribonia, were frequent visitors to the bug light this year. What looks like black markings from a distance, is revealed to be a rich iridescent blue upon closer look. Some have spots, and some have rings.
