To celebrate, I stopped by the zinnia patch at the community garden on the way home. It's been hot recently and there were so many butterflies there, including monarchs.

Time to post some nature pictures.

However, a 2x teleconverter for my M.Zuiko lens went on sale at B&H (for 40% off) giving me an equivalent of 1600mm. It takes away 2 f-stops, so if you're going after birds, you should only use in bright sunshine. Judge for yourself if it's worth it. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #hummingbird #Olympus #nature #HoosierMast npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem It's hot today but soon nighttime temperatures will dip to the low 40s and these beauties may be doomed. So let's enjoy them while we may.

I passed by an unused field whose edges had been mowed; many red clover plants had popped up and recently flowered in that mowed strip. I looked closer and saw that there were dozens of small and medium butterflies flying among the red clover flowers. It was just a small overlooked strip next to an abandoned lot, but today at least, it was full of beauty. #insects #InsectsOfTheFediverse #insectphotography #nature #hoosierMast #flowers npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem The goldfinch babies have finally fledged! I saw 2 of them at the feeder with their dad (he looks bad because he is molting). Here one perches above the feeder, asking to be fed. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #fledgling #goldfinch #birdphotography #video #HoosierMast npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem "Don't take my picture!

I agree with the govt decision to mandate the COVID vaccine early on in the pandemic—the population had no immunity to the virus and a million people ended up dying. I think a virus that causes either a lot of mortality or significant morbidity justifies a mandate. npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem As a doc, I totally agree and would go farther to say that ALL medical decisions should be left to the doctor and patient and should be totally private. Most politicians, judges and lawyers have no medical training and likely never even took a biology class in high school or college. npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem Today's early morning visitor, a Cooper's hawk. "Just lookin' around, ma'am. I see the bird feeders are not out yet, so I'll be back," it said, then flew off. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #hawk #nature #HoosierMast npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem I don't usually photograph birds in the late summer/early fall, because they are molting. Instead, I turn to insects, especially butterflies, which are plentiful. Here are some birds and some butterflies.

I had intended to give them to charities, but I find myself emotionally attached. I mean, look at those faces! #emotionalsupportchicken #knitting #HoosierMast npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem I had a long physical therapy session, so I stopped by the community garden to decompress. To my surprise, there were a few hummingbirds working the zinnia patch. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #hummingbird #nature #HoosierMast npub19gwkmh4ke8xw5qtc8zlslzmm330jrye8pgw7q3wevqca24082xfq2hpu0g Carpingdiem The road to my new physical therapist runs right by a community garden (i.e..
