A set of four photos showing Lucy LaRue standing with woods behind her, wearing light green cargo pants, a red crop top short sleeve shirt, and a green beanie over her brown hair in a long braid. Lucy poses in each photo slightly differently: the first with her arms up, hands behind her head, the second with her hands on her hips, the third a silly face with her finger squishing her nose like a piggie, and the fourth a normal smile with her hands in her pockets. Lucy is going braless, and her nipple piercings show underneath her shirt. Lucy's exposed belly button is pixelated.

A soft blue evening sky with some gold-tinted haze along and near the horizon. The sun is a bright golden yellow blob starting to descend towards that horizon. From a fissured gray rock outcrop atop a mountain, we are looking out at a scene of mostly forest with a couple of clusters of buildings. Tufts of tall, golden brown grass growing through fissures in the rock catch the sunshine. A forest of cedar and hardwoods rings the edge of the outcrop, but does not block the views. The flank of a nearby peak facing us has impressive rock cliffs. Beyond that is a narrow valley and several long, flattish-topped wooded ridges running along the horizon. A rounded knob to our left has a cluster of larger buildings on top.

My Mastodon instance disappeared without warning, so I'm starting over here. In the winter, you'll see mostly bird pictures and the rest of the year, you will also see flower, insect and landscape pictures. You won't find politics here and I won't try to sell you anything. I always include an ALT with my pictures. Here's a recent one of a pileated woodpecker.

The pileated woodpecker is the largest woodpecker in our woods and as big or possibly bigger than a crow. WIth wings folded, it looks mostly black, with some white in its face and a bright red crest. In this picture, it is preparing to push off from the tree trunk it was clinging to and has brought its wings back, showing the many white feathers on the underside of its wing. This bird is a male, as it has a bright red mustache. They are attracted to suet blocks and especially suet nuggets.

A black-headed gull in flight. Someone nearby was throwing some tasty treats, and a small flock of theses gulls were more than happy to entertain with some hovering and mid-air catches.
