The day started with so much promise. It was a beautiful sunrise.

This Spotted tussock moth was among the many new species for the year.

Blinded sphinx moth south signify the start of the sphinx season.

The gem of the day was this Polyphemus.

I thought that this would be the worst news of the day.

As the monkeypox pandemic numbers are rising significantly in Europe.
But, no the right-wing extremist Supreme Court over-turned Roe vs. Wade, as expected. So this week they supported gun-rights and took away women’s-rights. I guess they’re providing more targets for gun owners.




Just being clear that this is the result of all of the people who did not vote in 2016 or decided that a third-party candidate would be better. Three of the judges who voted to over-turn women’s-rights were fascist appointments during the last 45s reign of terror.

I took my frustration out splitting wood, more than I had intended.
More tomorrow, when I am in a better mood…
