I saw several incredible things today. A well-dressed lady riding a bike on the highway at night. A red-tailed hawk taking off w/prey that appeared to be a sizable groundhog (or a remarkably large rabbit). But the most fantastic thing I saw today was this:

Lynx rufus (bobcat, wildcat, red/bay lynx)

I made my very first tahchin for Thanksgiving! It was pretty and also pretty tasty. 💛 (I forgot the sweet potatoes in the oven until after we had finished dinner 😭)

The last of the season, seemingly. 💚

Witchcraft? Fairy art? A tiny grave in the forest? ...prolly witchcraft. 🐈‍⬛️

Another of our neighbor sunbathing. S/he was especially darling this morning ♡♡♡

Our nearest neighbor, Marmota monax (woodchuck, groundhog, whistlepig), taking a bit of a sunbath this afternoon. He is all fattened up for his upcoming winter hibernation 💤

And I got a super trippy one when a car drove past on the road above me. Some of the weirdest, best images I have ever taken 🥰

Thank you! The brightest image I got was framed oddly by the edges of the house, but I kinda dig it, too 🩷

I was able to get several lovely photos of the northern lights tonight, but this pinky is my fave 💕💜💞

I keep telling myself I have PLENTY of colorful photos of tree leaves, and do NOT need to take anymore, and yet...

A golden hour view that reminds me of those old Victorian Easter egg diaoramas (a/k/a panoramic sugar Easter eggs) except this is a fall pastoral view rather than a spring one

It was unexpected to come upon escaped domestic marigolds in an Appalachian forest on Day of the Dead 💀🧡🌱

A mountain bald just before the rain (and a set of post-Helene landslides reveal the underlying rockface) 💀
