A queue of Blue Jays at the peanut feeder. It isn't always FIFO (first in, first out); sometimes a waiting Jay will be looking off in space when another one takes the next spot.

A small group of macro photographs of fractured wet shale. Weathering and force/pressure fractures shale relatively easily, that's why it's great for fossil hunters. I boosted the colour and contrast while processing these images to bring out the astonishing colour spectrum inherent within a seemingly drab grey rock.

I've seen a lot of people asking about DMs here. I wrote an article about this today, but thought it'd be more useful to just say it in a post: Privacy is not the purpose of DMs. DMs are a courtesy to your followers. You’re communicating with another user directly because the information is of no value to anyone else, and there’s no reason to flood other people’s timelines with irrelevancies. Do not use DMs to discuss personal or sensitive information. (Use Signal).
