Oh ya this was for an AZ specific design contest so no goats sadly. I actually wanted to do a desert bighorn too but ran out of time.

It's so weird it auto tags as sexually suggestive on images tagged by you with an option that is SPECIFICALLY non-sexual nudity. Like no, it's not sexual nudity, you can tell by the fact that I selected non sexual nudity and not the sexual content button that was right next to it.

from under the Bear tooth head fungus (I wish that mushroom had a catchier name)

A large white fungus loosely resembling a droopy willow tree, with a trunk and thick white fleshy fronds flowing downwards. One of the branches has a swing attached upon which an isopod sits. The scene is garnished with various lichens and mosses.

That's a way better name. Short, easy to remember, atmospheric, visually descriptive, fits the vibe just right.

Holy cow a lot is going on in the US right now. You may also need to take a deep breath and look closely at a painted lady butterfly.

Painted lady butterfly, Nymphalidae, from Bandera County Texas, Lost Maples State Park. It's a closeup of the head and wings; the antennae have "knobs" on the end, and the wings are a pretty pattern of mossy browns with a splash of pinkish orange. The "knobs" on the antennae are characteristic of Nymphalids, and their first pair of legs are reduced.

A few more;

A rocky cliff jutting out into a churning stormy sea. A church is at the highest point of the cliff, followed by pine trees and an assortment of worn down wooden buildings.

An interior scene of an old cottage with a single female figure at the table. The room is small and cluttered with fishing gear, pots and pans, fire pokers. Two windows open out to an overcast sky.

Some visdev stuff for a friend of mine!

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Misc. Rodence

Two rodent characters against a featureless background. To the left is a hairless rat man with a nasty sunburn in the shape of a t-shirt. He is squirting sunscreen into his hands. To the right is a nerdy looking mouse person who has flipped over a broken computer mouse and inspecting it while holding a wrench.

Three rodent characters against a featureless background. To the left are twin albino mice who look like young girls, with blank expressions. They are wearing matching pink and blue outfits and holding hands. To the right is a hooded rat woman wearing an elegant dress, looking disinterested.
