This wild goldenrod (Solidago sp. ) on the edge of a field Is going strong despite a few hard freezes. I'll transplant a little and watch if the late flowering repeats next year. Other nearby goldenrods have gone to seed and died back. #wildflower #nativeplants #NCnativeplant #solidago #goldenrod

Two of several excellent novels by Linda Hogan include Mean Spirit, about the Osage peoples struggles in Oklahoma, and Solar Storms.

if you have to drink to have fun, then it's not a fun party for you. That helps me remember to split when I'm ready.

Pumpkin spider AKA marbled orb weaver (Araneus marmoreus) survived the hard freeze by hanging out on on my porch. #spider #northcarolina #arachnids

My health insurance premium (without any subsidy) will be just slightly more than my newly won social security check. #healthinsurance #ACA Health insurance premiums should be tax deductible. If I skip health insurance and my med costs are greater than 7%of my income it's a tax deduction.

You have to admire the bloody-minded ambition of a pelican trying to eat a whole capybara (who seems utterly unconcerned).

The thing with pelicans is that they have ONE super-power & their brains default to "get it in your mouth & deal with it later."

Let's talk about the gular sac of the pelican.

in North Carolina the turkey hunting season is in spring. So no fresh wild turkey for Thanksgiving!

Sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) is often the first tree to colonize a new forest. It has beautiful fall colors ranging from purple, red, orange, and yellow all on the same tree. Picture taken 11/01/25 in North Carolina.

A self-portrait with a long shadow cast on the forest floor among pine cones and needles. In the background are trees and a glimpse of sky.

I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees. ๐Ÿ’› โ€• Henry David Thoreau

in certain locations of the forest I see quite a few large mice scampering up and down the trees. I'm curious what kind of mouse.

I think this is a great blue heron on the bank of the Deep River in North Carolina. Any other id suggestions? #Bird #Blueheron #trailcams #cameratraps #northcarolinawildlife
