There is a fallen log surrounded by leaf litter and tall, slender trees.
Consider your sign to stop and stare at logs a little more often because just LOOK at this glorious velvet mite! (Third photo is where it was spotted.)

I love moths! I've found some amazing ones in my area. This is my personal favorite; the rosy maple moth. I think it looks like a Pokemon!

THE PROPHESY CAME TRUE
ONE SNOWSTORM AND THEN...
No Fucking Way Dude.
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.
Baby pigeon mystery.

A watercolor illustration of a white nudibranch sea slug with brown spots
In Japanese, nudibranch is γ¦γγ¦γ· (umiushi) which literally means sea cow and I think today's #Nudivember fully earns that name.

Digital sketch of a cartoon moth and bee kneeling down together. The bee is wrapped in a floral blanket, holding a mug of something warm and looking tired and sad. The moth has one arm outstretched to comfort them and is looking on with concern and care.
Hang in there, OK?
