Have I complained about the heat? Because it’s rightsomejesus hot here. At 6pm, the actual temperature is 100F with a heat index of 110F. My brain is melting. MELTING, I SAY! Kill me now.
That is all. As you were, comrades.

A Taste of Autumn
The flame-leaf sumac is starting to turn.
Thanks to an anonymous patron of teh artz, my camera set-up has been greatly upgraded. So thank you, kind anonymous patron! Today’s photos were all test shots, to get a feel for the new equipment. I can now sneak up on butterflies and bees, which makes me happy.

These were taken in the thicket behind my building.
Bumblebee and Thistle
I love how soft and plush his fur is and how his little trousers are packed with red pollen.

Aftermath
This is what’s left over, after the cut-and-paste poetry project. I have zillions of little pieces of paper that I’m not quite sure what to do with. I can’t bring myself to throw them away, but I don’t know that I’ll ever have a use for them.
