  It's that time of year again. (It actually happens year round but I don't go for long walks after dark during mosquito season.) #WeirdCoincidentalPrideFlag

  Sitting outside listening to a neighbor's parrot going, "Ar, arr, arrrrrr!", and it's irresistible to mimic, so now we're out here going, "Ar, arr, arrrrrr!", and now I'm wondering if that's the real reason pirates say "arr."

  A pinned thread about what to expect from me here: I post my own photos, and keep my feed generally positive. I accept follow requests and I follow back if you look like a real person who occasionally posts and is not bigoted. I’d rather have mutuals than followers. I like to share my own stuff and I like to see your stuff. Especially stuff you made – photos, art, writing, ideas, jokes, any kind of craft. #introduction

  I finally kicked my butt in gear and made my first ever jam with some of the plums. Accepted a quote, got through the admin and set rolling an important house project. Heavy rain! #ThreeGoodThings

  Yesterday I saw mushrooms of every color of the rainbow. Let's start with purple. #mushroom #mushtodon #sporespondence

  There are at least five bees or wasps in this photo. But only one this elegant. #bees #wasps #bloomscrolling

  It's getting to be that time of year. When the setting sun glows behind my hydrangeas as they first open, and then gradually turn pink and burgundy. #bloomscrolling

  Upstate New York continued to appoint(*), as we stopped for a last little hike on our way home yesterday. (* Opposite of disappoint) #mushrooms #mushtodon

  I'm quite open to identification help on any of these, but particularly this one #FungiFriday #mushrooms https://turtleisland.social/@dillyd/117017763104568849

  Y'all, I saw so many cool mushrooms today! Starting with this stunning yellow Amanita. #FungiFriday

  Possibly a frigid bumblebee? Seen on the south shore of montreal. The weather was super hazy and lighting was dim, and I couldn't get a better photo. I'm hoping this critter will stick around my goldenrod patch so I can get a better photo on another day. #bumblebee

  Is this some kind of disease of the plant, or some kind of gall?

  Wool carder bees are funny. If you get close to their flowers, they will dart around and hover, staring at you from different spots and angles, making it very clear this is their territory. They move so fast, I can usually only get good photos when they stop for a few seconds to copulate (which they do a lot). So I was thrilled when this one stood still long enough for a couple of closeups. I don't have a fancy camera or macro lens but this is not bad eye detail for a phone camera. #bee

  Yeah I'm judging you. I think you're pretty cool.

  I was looking at a big webworm web full of worms on my crabapple tree today, when I heard a rhythmic sound, and realized it was coming from inside the web. According to Wikipedia, "Larvae are known to wiggle vigorously at periodic intervals in synchrony." Here they are wiggling vigorously. #insects

  Normally they retract into their shells when you pick them up, but this snail seemed really curious about the view. #snail

  I went hiking with my kids yesterday. We saw excellent mushrooms and slime molds. #SlimeMold #mushtodon #mushrooms

  Our freezer got defrosted. The door was left open a crack, just enough to let in the air, but not quite enough to set off the open-door sensor alarm. It reminded me of a cool trick. My boss has a cabin where the electricity isn’t very reliable, but it's hard to know if there’s been a long outage. He keeps a coin on top of the ice cube tray. When he arrives at the cabin, if the coin is at the bottom of the ice cube tray, he knows to throw out anything else that was in there.

  My physical therapist ran out of beige when taping my tennis elbow. I feel like some kind of Jean Paul Gaultier Wonder Woman. I think I like it.
