Hello, from my garden friend to the Skyline:
Image: Spicebrush Swallowtail butterfly on a pink zinnia. The butterfly is dark in color, with lighter gray tips to a darker color near its body, and the base of the wings are a beautiful rich blue color with yellow spots at the very edges.

Boss let me take home some of the produce we got from a local Mennonite farm. People literally call to find out when theyre getting delivered and wait for them all season long. Imma cut these bitches open and see what the fuss is all about. I reckon this cantaloupe is gonna outshine mine lol.
Image: a larger small watermelon next to a slightly smaller cantaloupe on a white countertop. They are both perfectly ripe.

More photos...
My corn doing corn things I guess. Shown: a stalk of corn with a yellow wheat looking runner of some sort peaking out. I assume this is where the pollen comes from, I am unsure. Image: big tomatoes weighing down the plant. They are slowing turning yellow bc I planted a yellow variety. Image: A pink zinnia with a bumblebee asleep on it. He is passed out over the center of the flower. Image: orange cosmos in bloom.

Garden photo dump 🌱
Image: a tomato plant with a vine of ripening tomatoes. One is bright red, then a orange-ish yellow one that isnt quiet ripe then four green ones. They are larger cherry tomatos. There is a chain link fence behind them and you can see my garden path in the background. Image: my messy container garden with beans, tomatos, lettuce, carrots, a lemon tree, basil, oregano, cucumber, mint, peppers, and my mangrove buckets in the very most foreground. It is a riot of green that you can barely see the table and back of the porch railing through. Image: a carrot top with a bright orange carrot peaking out of a sea of oregano. Image: container from the previous photo from above. It is a interplanted mess. There is basil and a tomato plant peaking out of the carrot tops and oregano that have taken over the container.

I did a thing... took 2 days for them to find it and now I have hummingbirds in my yard too! #hummingbird #nativeplants #birding
A brown decorative arch with passionflower vines growing over it and along the fence behind the arch. There is a University of Tennessee hummingbird feeder hanging in the center with a ruby-throated hummingbird perched on it feeding.

Show me a picture (with alt text) that has your energy that isnt a selfie
Image: side by side photo of a young Dolly Parton in a frilly apron looking big sleeved country dress. The left side says "fuck around" and underneath Dolly is holding a rifle across her chest. On the right side she is aiming the same rifle and it says "find out."

I had a couple I was friends with (that I am no longer friends with) that [I think] were trying to get me to date their friend and we all watched Enter The Void. Fucking awful movie.
A brightly colored movie marquee viewed from the top down, Enter The Void is the film being featured with reviews down either side of the marquee

An american goldfinch stopped by to say hi.
Image: a male American Goldfinch perched on the yucca plant blossom stalk. He is a small bird and bright yellow with barely visible black markings on his little face. Behind him is the base of a water tower and the fenced off electrical building.

The only couple getting divorced:
Image: Marsha and Marshall Langeman from Parks and Rec. They are sitting on a grey-striped couch, he is hugging her with one arm and they are wearing their quintessential boring white folks clothes. They are the head of the Family's First Christian group in Pawnee and he is VERY VERY gay.

It has truly begun. My makeshift birdbath. It's opposite from the bedroom side of the house. #birding #birdwatching
Image: a makeshift birdbath made out of a wicker tripod plant holder, a clay water tray and clean rocks. It is in the newest part of our yard we de-grassed and made into a mulched pathway with a small rock face back wall.

Garden pics 🌱
Image: small handful of ripe golden beans on a stainless steel counter top. Image: my hand holding 4 blackberries. They are small and dark. Image: a bright orange day lily with double petals and darker orange accents on the flower closer to the center. There is a purple passion flower at the base of the tall stalk the lily is on. Image: a large shiny blue-black winged bug with an orange spot on its abdomen. I dont know what it is, it just looks huge and cool. It has landed at the base of a dead tree stump.

It begins... 🌱🌼
Image: purple and white passion flower in full bloom. It is a busy flower with light purple petals that have a ring of darker purple spots around the center, which is white. There are a bunch of crinkled looking little purple thread like parts that come from the center of the plant and give it a "windblown hair" vibe. The flower is against a lot of green leaves from multiple plants.

This is what Im angry about, besides *everything* else. This is something I can do something about. Dinner is about to be venison over here.
Image: a garden box with nothing in it because a goddamn deer has eaten the eight inch cucumber plant I grew here. Image: other side of the garden box that has been decimated by goddamn edible garden pests. There was a big cucumber plant here that was blooming Image: a garden trellis with an uprooted tomato plant that has been destroyed by deer. I fucking HATE deer. Image: zucchini plant that was sampled by deer.

Doin work. Fueled by anger and resentment
Image: same as reskeeted photo, but this time eighty percent of the crap growing has been mowed down and the disc golf basket is clearly visible down the slope. It has a small yellow flag on the top of the chains and the center pole is light blue. There is downed trees and shredded shrubbery everywhere.

This is what happens when you dont have time or energy when you get a clear day, for months. This is the back half of my yard. I USED to be able to toss a disc down to the basket and retrieve it nbd.
If the battery for my weedwhacker would charge i would be cutting it all down zero fucks given.
Image: a forrest line in the distance, with encroaching weeds overgrown to the point theyre saplings and an impenetrable wall of weeds. You cannot tell, but this vantage point is the corner of my patio and top of the slope down to the fenceline. There is a very difficult to make out disc golf basket down there on a level part that has my refuse pile i use for bonfires. Its a jungle out here, literally.

Some neat stuff from Yettas evening walk.
Image: an orange and brown/black butterfly on a purple coneflower that is growing over the sidewalk. The butterfly has its wings fully spread, like it was posing for the camera. The orange is most prominent on the base of the wings and goes up the out side in a V shape, the inner part is a dusky brown color that gets darker the closer to the body it gets. There are black patterns along the upper parts of the wings where it makes orange circles kinda like a monarch. Image: a dreamily fluffy looking hydrangea that is various shades of periwinkle, lavender, purple and various shades of pink. It is in full bloom and looks magnificent in its bisexual pride flag glory. Image: the droopy bell shaped flowers of the yucca plant. They are a creamy white, and there are a lot of them. They look like upside down tulips almost, except that the inside stamens dont look the same. They are on huge upright stalks that can go from four to six feet high. These are face level with me, I am just over five feet.
