Hold it right there ... don't move.
So, let's just pretend that this female ruby-throated hummingbird stopped to pose for me.
I wanted a close up of the female with wings forward so that you can get a good look at emerald plumage. I think that the way they seem to glow in the sunlight is cool. They're pretty small so it's hard to get a good close up.

p.s. Please don't harass artists who have hashtag lists on the end of their posts. Many are low income people dependent on selling art, and need to use multiple variant tags simply to be seen at all.
It isn't spamming, it's just the consequence of an exact-tag-only search system.
This isn't Twitter, there is no general text search by which they might be otherwise discovered.
Work is just there so you can afford to survive and spend time with friends or on hobbies.
I got a new phone. One of the features is a camera that can zoom in and take high resolution photos only 3cm away from the subject. This has made it much easier to see how filthy my keyboard is.

Got new foster kittens today, Jadzia, Julian, and Miles. Pictures taken by my son.
@ScottSoCal @bkm I love that movie, I swear, Auntie Mame is my spirit animal! This is probably one of my favorite lines.
βPatrick won't allow you to settle him down in some dry-veined, restricted community, make him an Aryan from Darien and marry him off to a girl with braces on her brains.β
I learned everything useful in my life watching Rosalind Russell in Auntie Mame. Including how to pronounce Darien.

Utah has had a law for a while now that makes it illegal to have a boner in public. Even when fully clothed.
Freundlicher und ethischer als alle #Weltraumkommando Sturmtruppen ist unser #Federation hier ;)

It's the NYT. Normalizing the antics of Republicans and fascists is their thing.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
