I sure love lichens and fungi on a fallen limb. Heavenly color and texture.

Thank you, Mark. Definitely a better quality lens, with a bonus of more zoom.

Despite the cool front overnight, the Saucer Magnolia is exploding with blooms. Spring is Springing.🩷

Playing around with a new camera lens that arrived this evening. Nothing too extravagant but an upgrade to my wife’s EF 75-300mm; an RF 100-400mm that doesn’t need an adapter to fit my Canon R8. Better glass too. Can’t wait to photograph some butterflies. 📷❤️

She wishes you a Happy Friday

Hey Pesti. Thank you. Trying to spread some beauty in this ugly world.

Thank you, Julie.

Sharing…

Since when has Trump ever been honest! Of course, I know you know that and I get the point you’re making.

Another photo of the beautiful and very tiny Spring Azure butterfly yesterday.

The Saucer Magnolia is about to pop with color. Happy March! 🩷

I was shocked to see my first Summer Azure butterfly today on the last day of February. It was fluttering around the White Oak leaves in our upper meadow.

Also saw (but no photographs) a Mourning Cloak butterfly and a Goatweed Leafwing butterfly.

Happy Saturday to you, despite what’s happening in the world right now.

Orange Sulphur butterfly on wild Viola bicolor in our middle meadow this morning. The Sulphurs and Whites are beginning to flutter about. It’s going to be 80° here today.

Dandelions have an amazing flower. They’re like a sun in the meadow; such an important early season food provider for pollinators. Macro shot.💛

Daffodils make me smile. Hundreds of them blooming under our giant oaks right now. 💛

Our meadow is coming alive…

For some, cognitive dissonance. For some, they blame “others” for their life and believe in his bigotry which gives them a pass for their own bigotry. For some, they are afraid of the changing world and believe he keeps the status quo with their type in power (myth for sure). The list goes on…

And right on cue, we see the 30%-35% range of lemmings who will just go along with the Psychopath no matter what.

The most cringey Psychopath to ever live. His desperate need for attention and adulation is beyond compare. If he weren’t so dangerous to America and the world, I might feel sorry for djt that he has never been loved or felt loved. Believe me, that’s a fleeting thought. I have zero empathy for him.

No way I would watch the State of the Union because I already know. The State of the Union is that the Republican speech giver is a Criminal and a Psychopath, his party members are complicit, and most of his voters are anti-American lemmings.

Have a nice week. Warmer days are coming, filled with flowers and butterflies…📷🦋🧡

My first attempt at Short Rib Beef Bourguignon over creamy mashed potatoes. Scrumptious!
(Regular post rather than repost)

Bon Appétit 😋 📷

Even better than I expected. My wife said she can’t wait to be hungry again to eat some more.

Short Rib Beef Bourguignon on a pillow of creamy mashed potatoes. A nice glass (or two) of red wine is a lovely companion. Perfect on a cold day. 😋
