The lighting and the leaves created a ninja in the bushes , with one eye visible. Now that I have seen it I can't unsee it. Just above the hummingbird. Lol. #ninja

It's working. Just sitting quietly in the yard while drawing. They are getting used to me. This one was about 2 meters away. They love the firespike. #hummingbirds 🌴🌱🌿🌺🐦

Love it. Great posture, it really sells the expression.

He looks like a deflated balloon. No wonder he is so mad.

Karre @carrykarre.bsky.social · 13h

I was just thinking he was out for revenge.

Set up a table so I can draw the hummingbirds in. Piled it with anything blooming that I haven't transplanted yet. So far the bees and dragonflies are the only ones to appear. 🌴🌺🤞🌱🌿🐦 #sciart Haven't cleaned this up yet forgot to bring out my eraser. They are suspicious of the table.

Hey Orlando repurpose your Mikey's.

They will do that. My mom has hers all spring, summer and fall. I usually don't have them in large numbers for very long. When the big green dasher dragonflies come through they usually move on. I don't get as close to mine as I did at my mom's house, but I enjoy them while they are here.

As it is this is a bit of a #birdsearch #hummingbirds

The hummingbirds are starting to get brave. My patience is paying off. They are buzzing pretty close now and not even yelling at me, but I am only taking pictures far enough away not to bother them. When they are more used to me hopefully I can get some really close ups. #hummingbirds 🌿🌱🌺🌴🤞🐦

Little round hummingbird likes this dead branch. Near the top of a palm tree.

My alt text didn't flag me. It's an emerald hummingbird sipping firespike.

I can't help but think that #taylorswift hating is being driven by bots. I get that some of it is genuine but that's the kind of thing that really divides people. So stop and ask yourself, do you really care?

Unripe persimmon makes it feel like there's a black hole going on inside your mouth. The entire collapsing universe seems to be going on.

Did you see his body guard? Nobody is getting past him.

Karre @carrykarre.bsky.social · 3d

He looks like he's part of the zinnia.

Nothing like the light passing through orchids. So satisfying.

There's a r/glutenfree subreddit that has some amazing info. They try all the things so you know what to spend your time and money on.

Bread machines are the way to go. Moderna is supposed to be working on a mRNA vaccine for celiacs. 🤞

I like the starfruit to get just a little more ripe before picking them. I really believe
If they get all the way to orange the taste is much sweeter than counter ripening. Also my miniature banana plant is blooming. 🌱🌴🌺⭐🍌

The hummingbirds have come for the winter. There's a bunch of them, but they aren't used to me yet. This is super zoomed and cropped so it's not a great shot, but hey, it's a hummingbird. #birds🌿🌴🌱

I think that's what we are supposed to talk about instead of the fact that there's very few test that can't be done at the Whitehouse. He could have gotten vaccinated there. What was the real purpose of the visit?

Karre @carrykarre.bsky.social · 4d

I have been thinking a lot about and acting on @wired.com steps on privacy and security. I would love to see a coordinated effort that breaks these things down into steps that can be taken over a week or two. Like the 12 days of Christmas but for people who have never thought about security before.
