March 9, 2026 Canada Geese are back! ๐Ÿชฟ Love watching these two take turns on sentry duty while the other grabs a snack. True partnership goals. I can't help but think he's judging me. #CanadaGeese #BirdWatching #WildlifePhotography #Utah #BackyardNature #BlueUtah

Quiet morning at the studio window.

Snow still on the ground, chickadees arguing outside, and a little woodland painting slowly coming to life on the desk.

After the surprise Mastodon welcome yesterday, it feels a bit like inviting the whole forest in for #coffee . โ˜•๐ŸŒฒ

Back to painting and Thank you all. ๐Ÿซ‚

Day 2 on Mastodon:

I donโ€™t fully understand the Fediverse yet, but everyone seems super nice and no one's tried to sell me crypto, so thatโ€™s already an improvement over most of the internet. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ˜…

So, if you like birds, bees, gardens, my quirky art, or quiet backyard momentsโ€ฆ weโ€™ll probably get along just fine. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽจ

Hope you're all having a wonderful day โœŒ๐Ÿป

Hi from Rhode Island!

Artist, gardener, and quiet observer of the small world in my backyard.

Youโ€™ll usually find me near the feeders or in the garden watching the neighborhood wildlife. Chickadees supervise, the crows recognize me, and in summer
the bees take over the flowers.

I grow vegetables, paint some of the birds I see, and share the little moments happening right outside my door.

Nice to meet you. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ

After last nightโ€™s ice storm the sun warmed the trees and the ice began to fall.

It looked like rain, but it was thousands of tiny pieces of ice tinkling through the sunlight.

I'm experimenting with some new kit for my #backyardnature and #entomology photographs: a petri dish with white tissue holding the specimen in place while I use my phone to photograph through a magnifying loupe. The second image is a varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci)...
Here's a 2025 specimen from #CapeCod - the phantom midge (Chaoborus punctipennis). Its larvae are aquatic; adults do not feed and live only long enough to mate and lay eggs. Native to the USA & Canada, it was recently identified as an invasive species in Japan. #backyardnature #entomology

Here's an unnamed non-biting midge of family Chironomindae, Xylotopus par. It's the only species of genus Xylotopus found in North America; its larvae mine decaying, waterlogged hardwood in slow-moving streams. #backyardnature #entomology
