A scorpion is not an insect. Anyway, this one is dead. In the bedroom.

This may seem like "too close." It seems that way because the Lightroom removal tool would not adequately remove a very distracting feature of his natural environment. So, I ended up just cropping the image a lot.

The nice thing about the Oregon Coast is that something is blooming year round

Thanks, Doc! It’s so wonderful that one of their babies survived! Trying to increase the population. 🙂

Good morning. Time for #BirdOfTheDay and the theme is #thinking So that’s any capture of a bird deep in thought. The alternative is #cute I’ve tried to go for a combination with a European Robin. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A European robin perched on a thin branch, its orange-red breast glowing warmly in the sunlight. The bird’s fluffed white belly and brownish wings contrast softly with the blurred green background of spring foliage, giving the scene a gentle, peaceful feel.

I just had a very unexpected visitor. The dogs were barking like there was a dog in the front yard. It was not a dog. 🫎

This is a close-up photograph of a spotted flycatcher perched on a bare branch against a background of green and reddish-brown foliage. The bird has a relatively plain, streaked brown head and back, paler underparts, and dark eyes.
