okay so like tents are designed to have a bit of indoors in the outdoors, right? so. logically. the opposite must also work. Sharks, I'm here to present Tent Full Of A Layer Of Dirt And Sticks In Your Living Room! /j

A zoom shot of a muddy marsh with the base of cordgrass visible. A pair of male fiddler crabs interlocks claws in the middle of the image. The closer fiddler crab has a white mottled back with a light colored arm and claw. The further, larger fiddler crab has a brown back and red/brown arm and claw.

Saw a pair of male Atlantic Sand and Red-Jointed(Minuca minax) Fiddler crabs fighting at the marsh! Saw lots of M. minax aggression, which is high stakes for the other crabs; M. minax has developed the ability to eat their peacefulish cousins!

It's honestly giving Wes Anderson and I love it

A fiddler crab stands in the left half of the image among wet beige sand; zoomed in shot. It has a bright purple back, rimmed by silver, with light brown body.

okay I'm bored have a fiddler crab on the house

A fiddler crab stands in the center of the image; it faces the camera, holding its claws in front of its body. It has one huge claw and one tiny one, both being a pearly white color.

Finally getting around to posting some of the crab shots from last week! Here is Uca/Leptuca pugilator, the Atlantic Sand Fiddler Crab!! I love these lil dudes SO MUCH! At Cedar Point Tideland Trail, NC!

A orange dragonfly perched on a twig in the center of the image. It is facing away from the camera, its wings spread wide. The forward set of wings is fully transparent, though glinting colorfully in the light. The back set of wings is about one third opaque with patterned brown coloration, and the rest is transparent. The body of the dragonfly is orange.

Went down to coast (Swansboro/Outer Banks) and got a TON of crab photos, but I think I'm gonna start it off with a Carolina Saddlebags (Tramea carolina)! Shiny lil bud

Today I was at the coast photographing crabs and got out of a cyclist's way (i was sitting on a lil bridge thing) and they said "Have a good walk!" and then I said "You too!"

anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

the back pain sensed danger and fled to another joint

you get so much milage out of that singular monster factory it's incredible

I always forget how metal their faces look since I only see them from afar, great shot!

A telelphoto shot of a Green Anole perched on the edge of an old grey wooden railing, which has cracked slightly. The anole is in profile, its mouth open very wide, and its throat crest extended (though mostly hidden behind the railing). The anole is greenish-brown, mid-transition between its two color states. Photo by me.

Image of the TV series The Magic School Bus accompanied by the following text: Airing on PBS in the mid-1990s, this NSF-funded animated TV show follows Ms. Frizzle and her class as they set off on field trips out of this world, including careening across the solar system, traveling through the human body or visiting the late Cretaceous period.

I was today years old when I learned that the Magic Schoolbus was an NSF-funded project.

A telephoto shot of the leaf litter at the bottom of the forest; in the center there is a blurry sparrow, moving up and to the right as the hoto was taken.

The Blurb is one of my favorite genres of outtakes

Four turtles on a dried out log in murky brown water. One is out of focus in the foreground, one is out of focus in the background. The two in focus are jostling for the same spot on the log, with one hanging on by just two limbs.

This is me and my dog whenever he insists there is space on the couch. The one on the left was visibly teeter-tottering 😆 From Huntley Meadows, #Virginia.

A black and white bird of prey perched on a branch, image is looking up from below as it looks to the left. The beak is sharply curved, and there is a black stripe on the otherwise white head going through the yellow eyes.

An extremely vocal Osprey this past month down at Cedar Point Tideland Trail in the #NC #outerbanks! There's usually a full family down there but this buddy was a ways away from their nest, maybe moving out?

The "No thoughts, head empty" eyes really adds to the mildly horrifying vibes 😆

You never know when a herd of peanuts might come scurrying past, gotta keep a sharp eye!

Fog is such a mixed bag because it's terrifying driving but wonderful ambience!!!

Mountain Laurel in bloom last May at Poor Mountain Trail, #VA. Took some proper one-lane mountain roads to get there!

Man, herons are both so majestic and so goshdarn goofy it's incredible

Despite knowing, intellectually, that waking early enough to catch the birds' dawn chorus will be amazing, it still manages to breathe new life into me every time I remember to.

If I might ask, where/how did you get these, they're wonderful! I've gone to Pea Island a few times hoping to see them, but they and the other migrating birds are always so far into the waters that my 300mm lens can't get much other than a collection of bird-shaped specks.

Long, thin, pointed tan-colored grass of varying shades stretches from the foreground to the background, where a sliver of ocean can be seen.

Coming out of hibernation to share this; Needlerush at the salt marsh. Taken on Hoop Pole Nature Trail on the #outerbanks a while back. When you look into it in person, the visual noise kills all sense of depth, it's really quite mesmerizing.

the "shoulder" bit is huge!!!!

not me realizing days later that this is in fact a scarlet macaw 💀

Watching an expensive black blob expanding across my phone corner like a $200 mold

Dropped my phone 3 inches today and now the right 1/4 of the screen is a light blue rectangle so if y'all could please stick to haiku-length lines that would be al peak.

I keep clicking on pls profiles to see more of their stuff, forgetting I have done so, and later wondering why what I think is my home feed has so much of one person's stuff

But it's actually just in the other pocket than normal
