Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

Rob's #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme is #Blue & he's not referring to lingerie. Or is he?! An exhibitionist Rainbow Bee-Eater shows off it's vibrant blue knickers. #ECK #birds #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #wildlife #nature #Photography #Nikon #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky

80s perm for sure!

Excuse me has anyone seen the local heron?

Yes, do grow asters and other fall bloomers by the north shore of the lake if you want to see monarchs gathering in advance of crossing over Lake Ontario on their big migration to Mexico. You’ll be greeted with this sort of treat when the weather is good.

また明日❣️ #コーギー #corgi #dog #犬 #どうでもいい写真部 　 #天の犬 弐代目

There's a lot of darkness in the world right now. We need more light. Starting today, I'm going to try to post a picture of my and @lweiss.bsky.social's Sheepadoodle, Poppyseed, every day. She brings us a lot of joy; hopefully she'll make you smile too. #PoppyPic

Forget planting trees for a second. Let's talk about BOGS. Did you know that peatlands cover a tiny 3% of Earth’s land, but store MORE CARBON than all the world's forests combined?They are an ultimate MVP of our climate system and it’s time we start hyping them. Join me! 🧵 1/

I think the Black-billed Magpies have gotten sick of hearing me gush over how gorgeous the Common Grackles are. This Junior Magpie flew in and posed on this branch as if to say “check this iridescence out”🤣 #Birds 🪶

Monkeys make friends with other species, and that can tell us a lot about how keeping pets came about. Great article by @cyrilgrueter.bsky.social et al., reporting friendly primate interactions with a whopping 55 non-primate species! 🧪🐒🐕 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A rainbow of flowers from today's walk, yes? (Yes.) Red. I love these flowers but can never remember what they're called. #bloomscrolling

I've only seen juvenile spotted towhees for the first time this year. They don't have red eyes yet, and they're brown. 📷🌿🪶

A Clearwing Hummingbird Hawk Moth in the Milkweed flowers. It's always a challenge to photograph them, like hummingbirds their wings move so fast. #invertebrates #insects #moths #wildlife #nature #photography #EastCoastKin #pennsylvania
