I rather like spiders, but I don't tolerate them when they invade my personal space. Otherwise I leave them alone or take photos, maybe put them outside. And some types of spiders are built to jump, so that is not unusual.

I see no reason to upgrade a computer from Windows 10 to 11. My laptop (a little Surface Pro and my main computer) has long been told it could upgrade and yesterday it got a message that the upgrade was ready. I declined! I have no intention of upgrading because 10 is working just fine and I...

lifelong NE Ohio, DH likewise.

@faerywings the cake looks fabulous and somehow so right for Cait. Bet it was worth all the work. Hope you are feeling better though. Fingers (etc.) crossed for both the kids for their jobs. Hope Eva @tanteva and Urban are both well. And at IG looks like @felis is doing a lot of crochet (but...

I like all chocolate, but will always tend toward dark.

Fantastic! I love the drama of the colors and full moon to sunrise. I haven't seen Lordsburg since 2007, but imagine the sunrise is its best look.

How cool to have musician octopi! You are having so much fun with these designs and lovely results.

I had fun with this one!

I enjoy the neighbor's flowers for themselves, but also for the pollinators they attract. This bumblebee was very busy this day.

So striking! Looks like a photo of your work area perhaps. Love all the birds, but think I know which is your photo.

For most of the world she was the only British monarch they ever knew. She was a steady influence. I remember as a child reading a story about her and her sister and the changes in their lives when their father unexpectedly became king.

I know a lot happened this summer, some good things especially, but it doesn't seem possible it's over!

Amazed DH how close he could get without scaring off the Black-capped Chickadee at our feeder. He got really nice photos of this one.
