Retired Ichthyologist. Friend of Bill W. I mostly photograph birds but also other critters. Might start adding some landscapes too. These photos bring me joy - hope they bring you joy as well. All images are mine and copyrighted.

Wow! What a wonderful shot - you have such a great knack for capturing light.
Everyone masks, gets anxiety, and burns out, but there's a very specific autistic experience of masking for survival, getting extreme anxiety from the masking but it also never quite being enough, and that leading to extreme burnout... that nonautistic people will never fully understand.
Thank you!
Such a great photo! One of my all-time favorite birds.
Fantastic!
Love this! An awesome drawing of an awesome fish!

In my last post I explained that to be diagnosed autistic/ADHD/OCD a person must be meaningfully impaired by their brain wiring when doing critical life activities.
In other words, they can't do important life activities without support...

We need to come up with better names for neurodivergent and mental disorders, because I guarantee people wouldn't call it fake if we called ADHD something like "dopamine deficiency syndrome," or depression "serotonin reuptake disorder" or whatever. It's exhausting.
Wow - nice!! Love the Stomiids.

Have you ever observed this behavior 🤔🐦?
Kleptoparasitism is quite common among seabirds 🌊🐧. It involves harassing 🚨 another bird to make it drop or regurgitate 🤮 its food 🍴🐟… so the thief can snatch it 🏴☠️.
