Her majesty will see you now ... 🫅

Hate to blow my own 🎺, but I'm quite proud of this picture – a stack of seventeen macro images taken with slightly different focus, to capture the full detail of this female goldenrod crab spider, Misumena vatia.

She was kind enough to stay (mostly) still for the whole sequence 🙇‍♂️

This is Black Thunder, a Sioux man taken around 1908. Across the 18th and 19th centuries, boundaries between Black and Native worlds were not fixed but lived through enslavement, escape, intermarriage, alliance, and shared confrontation with a nation expanding over both. Yet records rarely capture that complexity. The portrait names him but does not explain. A man made visible, a history only partially told. Library of Congress.

At one time, a lot of people lived on little farms, and every day their feet walked on earth as they went about and did chores that were purposeful and had meaning.
