@futurebird ugh, exactly.
I unfortunately have an awful neighbor who had terminex spray right up to my fence which means my property since it extends beyond the fence, so I rushed out to ask the sprayer if what he was using would harm my goats and turkeys and he was like "yes, it will kill them. We have to be very careful around birds" and I'm slow blinking like...then why are you spraying my fence. Evidently he was called to spray for ants. 🙄
This neighbor bought a wooded lot and has cleared it, stripped it of top soil down to the red clay, and the tiny bit of grass that grows, he mows constantly to like an inch high, sending up dust clouds every time. Why move here and attempt to dominate and transform this space and destroy the beauty that was here? We are the most diametrically opposed lots and it causes me endless stress.
Found a friend outside our door. It is gorgeous!
I think it’s a white ermine (Spilosoma lubricipedum) but not 100% sure.
Regardless, it is gorgeous!

This ant cartoon by falseknees over on tumblr really captures what I think it's like to be an ant.

I’m Loren. I live in Illinois, USA and I like taking pictures of birds and other things in nature like bugs and turtles and muskrats and mushrooms and moss and frogs and flowers and opossums.
I use a Canon R7 with a 100-400mm lens for most of my pictures and occasionally a 100mm or 35mm for macro. I don’t like doing most dramatic edits and don’t digitally remove branches or “clutter” from my pictures.
I have many of my photos posted on here but for my full portfolio or if you’d like a print that can be found here: https://lorennaturephotography.pixieset.com/birds/birds/

Israel has been using the distraction of the Gaza invasion to seize land in the occupied West Bank and attack Palestinians. The New York Times is ignoring the story.
