Pedestrian birder in Chicago. Click on #birds tag to see just my bird photos without the whinging. I'm also sharing bird links using the #BirdLinks tag. I'm embarrassed by my typos but usually not enough to delete them. Gear: OM1 & OM 150-400 & 100-400

Another tree on the Chicago lakefront cut down. This was a half dead giant willow tree just inside golf course by the lighthouses on the Montrose Harbor entrance piers.

To suburban drivers used to having 100% of road space in their suburb, having to slow down a bit in the city because a pedestrian is crossing feels like oppression. I believe this helps explain some of the state laws preventing blue cities from doing traffic calming or road diets

George Gavriel's art is pretty incredible. I'm seeing a few people say some of these are about what's going on in our country but he's from Cyprus and it's a reminder that so many of our struggles are universal.

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit
