My garden was buzzing today!

I did order the sticker design I posted the other day. Seemed popular : )

This is what happens when you have your macro lens set for good depth of field so even though it's bright it was only on a shutter speed of 1/320 and a freakin' HUMMINGBIRD CLEARWING comes by! So fast! Zip zip and gone....but the first one I've seen here so I'm really excited! Yes the exposure is off, I was take photos on the flowers in the shade and it picked one in the sun so yeah I could have whacked up the shutter speed if I had more than a split second to focus and go before it left...So an overexposed purple coneflower and a half blurred black white orange and olive green moth.

A day flying moth! "Yellow Collared Scape Moth" whatever the heck that means. What's a scape? I don't know. Yellow? Goldenrod is yellow but it seems like it's an orange collar to me. Someone messed up with this name. Ah well. Really enjoying the goldenrod though!

Buckeye butterflies with their cheery purple and orange dots and splots on my purple coneflowers. There were actually *five* all kinda fighting for the best spots and they kept having aerial fights! Or...maybe fending off sexual advances too. Hard to tell sometimes, haha!

This is bound to bring some joy to your day. Everything about it is delightful.

(And the engineering is amazing.)

Two women wearing hijabs in a backyard with bright green grass. It is well-lit in the blackness of night. One is riding an exercise bike that is moving a chain connected to a mini pink roller coaster, where the second woman is sitting in a coaster cart. They are laughing while the rider is hoisted up to the top of the hill, before dropping into the small round of the full coaster. Behind them, many children are playing on some swinging toys in a unique, seemingly-homemade, and well-lit playground structure of some sort.

If you need some joy in your day, this is my gift to you. John Batiste is a gem of a human being. He is also massively talented.

In this interview from 2023 with Chris Wallace, John talks about the limitations genres put on music. And THEN he genre hops through part of a Beethoven piece on the fly.

It’s so good. And Chris’ face is priceless. He’s almost giddy.

John is a good-looking young Black man with with robustly-styled dreadlocks. He is wearing a tan suit coat, partially open over a low-cut white t-shirt. He’s sitting at a piano in what appears to be a small studio setting. Chris is a middle-aged white man with simple glasses. He’s wearing a suit with a bright-red pocket square over a solid-blue dress shirt and a striped tie.
