The 49MB Web Page and ‘Your Frustration is the Product’ look at (and rant about) the dismal state of news on the internet.
It’s like going to a restaurant, ordering a cheeseburger, and they send a marching band to your table to play trumpets right in your ear and squirt you with a water pistol while trying to sell you towels.
This sort of shit is why I run Firefox with extensions including DDG Privacy Essentials, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Control Panel for Youtube, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and Privacy Badger. Just because a publisher throws crap at me doesn’t mean I have to catch it.
I am nearly as likely to take a photo of some detail of industrial design of an electricity pylon crossing the nature preserve as I am of the flower beneath it. Not sure what this says about me.
“Glass in the Sky”
I hope I haven’t forgotten how to pack for an overnight trip to the woods.
“Tentacles”
I dunno what kind of plant this is, but it made for a fun closeup.
“Not Concerning At All”
There were a couple of turkey vultures circling high above the trail today.
“Ah, Eugene”
We do get some non-standard opinions around here.
The fawn lilies are coming out at Mount Pisgah. Always one of the prettiest flowers of the year.

Just a sprig of ivy putting out some roots in a water planter.

Have now seen two rightwing Republican Congressmen explaining that sending the Marines into Kharg Island somehow does not count as an invasion or “boots on the ground.”
Just how stupid do they think we are?
“Magnolia”
One way or another, nature always wins.

“Lurking”
This might be a flower bud…or something out of H.R. Giger’s imagination. I’m not sure.
“Redstem Filaree”
At least I’m pretty sure that’s the correct identification. There was a small patch at Mount Pisgah yesterday.
“Waiting for the Wind”
Google says these are white Baby Blue Eyes. Pretty silly but OK.

“Lace”
Last year’s fallen leaves.
“Peekaboo”
“Spring Tree”
I can’t tell one leafless flowering tree from another, but it doesn’t matter because they’re all pretty.
This puffball has already puffed.
