A squirrel stopped by for lunch today, and on the menu was Pita Bread. It sure was devoured fast, as he brought many of his buddies with him.
A new find for me - Mullein Moth caterpillar............on Mullein. In the wonderful wild f;ower churchyard at Long Bennington

In my city, one of the richest cities in the wealthiest country in human history, 39,000 homeless people sleep in shelters every single night. They represent only a sliver of the number of people who live here without work, without homes, without an education, without healthcare of any kind.
As the American military budget approaches $500 BILLION dollars a year, the USA can boast of declining literacy, declining health, declining social services, one of the worst infant mortality rates in the entire Western Hemisphere, more imprisoned citizens than any other country on earth, and a national debt that numbers in the trillions of dollars.
Those who actually have work see their wages taxed to prop up some of the most violently repressive military regimes on earth - Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Israel. Our past best friends included Saddam's Iraq, the Shah's Iran, Apartheid South Africa, the Philippines under Marcos, Somoza in Nicaragua, etc etc etc. Virtually every gencodaire and dictator of the last 50 years has been in our payroll. For example, until 1998, every single high level Taliban official was in the payroll of the US. Across the earth our national wealth is being doled out around the world to armed fanatics of every stripe, even as we steal the natural wealth of the earth to feed our own greedy apetites for Chia Pets and Eyeliner. The amount of money Americans spend of pornography and dog food each year could feed every starving person on the planet - not that we care. Meanwhile, our economic, cultural and military force is turned towards stamping out democracy wherever it emerges, crushing human rights wherever they are demanded.
While 50,000 people a day die of hunger, lack of clean water, and the largest epidemic in history, the wealthiest country in the world offers the poorest countries in the world little more than prisons, bibles, military bases, threats, weapons, and "structural assistance" that benefits only the wealthiest .001%. In the end, the price of our assistance is always the same: political obedience, economic enslavement, and debt repayment schedules which consume the gross national product of entire continents....

The guy in this photo is a local character who has lived in my neighborhood for decades. People call him "Screaming Jesus", a vaguely affectionate kind of mockery which conveniently disregards his entire life. I was delighted to see him carrying the flag on the 4th of July. He had some words for me about the state of this country.
Our lack of interest is a mirror he is holding up to those who run this country like a private slush fund. He is an early warning system which we ignore at our own terrible peril.
This shot reminds me of a lyric from my favorite band Marillion:
Did you ever dream of running
And find you couldn't move
Did you ever dream of running
Running scared
Ankle deep in glue
With the monster after you
And it's catching up
Monsters catching up
And it's catchin' up and you're going nowhere
And you're slowin' up And you can't wake up
And it's catchin' up
and you're going nowhere wake up wake up
You're falling…
(Steve Hogarth)

This shot would have made nice Monday face, too, don't you think?
Enjoy!
I urge you to notice the eyes in this shot.

16/52. Stood in wet bushes for half an hour. Now I'm smelling like a forest and my neighbors think that I've completely lost my mind.
Summer pudding with brown bread ice-cream and pistachio. Making more use of the berries in season. Blogged here.
A tired honey bee. Taken with a Neewer NW180C "bare bulb" flashgun with the supplied reflector/diffuser attached. Focus stacked using zerene.
I placed the bee on a potentilla flower to feed. It seemed to run out of nectar so I put a drop of sugar syrup on the flower which it happily devoured and tehn took off shortly after.
Look closely and you'll see part of a husk flying, below the finch's beak. It's amazing how fast the de-husk the seeds.
Ezekiel 20:47 “And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.”
Prisma color Pencils, liquid blending tools, toned gray sketch paper, a ruler, and a finger to smudge with. 💙💙🍫🍫
It rips out the eyes of its victims and uses them for its own!
The idea for this build came from 'the pale man' from the movie 'Pan's Labyrinth'.

Here You can see real Forest Devourer. Be careful walking through the forest - and never, I mean never cuddle one when You see it crying! They look cute but they are always hungry.
Devourers are tiny bug rahi which crawl onto large rahi and feed on the detritus found on their armor and skin. The hosts appreciate being clean, and the Devourer gets a meal. Everyone is happy.
Nicolaus and Johannes - Final Judgment (around the eleventh century) - Pinacoteca dei Musei Vaticani
Questa tavola dalla forma insolita (rotonda con una base rettangolare) proviene dall'Oratorio di S. Gregorio Nazianzeno a Roma. La rappresentazione del Giudizio Finale si svolge su cinque fasce sovrapposte, ciascuna con una scritta esplicativa in latino: a partire dall'alto, nella prima appare Cristo tra cherubini e angeli; nella seconda Cristo davanti a un altare tra due angeli e i dodici Apostoli. Nella terza, più complessa, sono tre raffigurazioni: a sinistra S. Paolo che guida gli eletti, al centro la Vergine e Santo Stefano che intercedono per i Santi innocenti, a destra tre opere di misericordia (vestire gli ignudi, visitare i carcerati, dare da bere agli assetati). Nella quarta fascia si illustra la resurrezione dei morti (a sinistra pesci e bestie feroci sputano le membra dei corpi divorati, a destra due angeli svegliano i morti nelle tombe al suono delle trombe apocalittiche). Nella base della tavola, infine, troviamo l'Inferno e la Gerusalemme Celeste con la Vergine tra gli eletti.
L'opera, firmata da Nicolaus e Johannes è, dalla maggior parte della critica, assegnata alla seconda metà del XI secolo.
This unusual shaped table (round with a rectangular base) comes from the Oratory of St. Gregory of Nazianzeno in Rome. The representation of the Final Judgment takes place on five overlapping bands, each with an explanatory text in Latin: from the top, in the first appears Christ between cherubim and angels; in the second Christ before an altar between two angels and the twelve Apostles. In the third, more complex, there are three depictions: on the left St. Paul guiding the elect, in the center the Virgin and St Stephen who intercede for the innocent Saints, to the right three works of mercy (dressing the naked, visiting prisoners, giving to drink thirsty). In the fourth band is illustrated the resurrection of the dead (left fishes and wild beasts spit the limbs of devoured bodies, right two angels awaken the dead in the tombs to the sound of apocalyptic trumpets). At the base of the table, finally, we find Hell and Heavenly Jerusalem with the Virgin among the elect.
The work, signed by Nicolaus and Johannes, is, from most critics, assigned to the second half of the 11th century.
