Cat

Big ol' red flower -- stands out and really makes a statement.

Big yellow puffball. Also liked the softness (simlar to the pink rose nearby), edited slightly to accentuate the water droplets a tiny bit.

Pink rose, was going to edit it but then decided I liked it how it was. Probably cause of the the softness.

Sunset on a building.

I went with my mom to go look for a sunflower field. When we got there, there were no sunflowers -- just a nice field.

Set of books I bought -- two for birdwatching, one that I read for a class and really related to.

Really pretty pink flowers -- apparently they're hydrangeas. Really love how the colors pop, especially after a bit of editing.

Hairy woodpecker. These guys look a lot like downy woodpeckers, but there's a few ways you can tell them apart. First, hairy woodpeckers have longer beaks! Around the size of their heads, I think? They also don't have black spots on their tail feathers at the edges.

Green Heron -- adult one, saw a juvenile one the other day

Pretty flower!

Sunset at Dulles airport

Squirrel eating out of my birdfeeder

Necklace I use as a bracelet that I bought from Harper's Ferry

A blue cornflower (maybe)

Turtle on a log.

I think it's some kind of gayfeather that's dying out? Not sure, but I thought it looked interesting.

Blue balloon flowers, I really like how I framed this image (although I may have messed up the editing).

Apparently these are called Culver's root. I liked how it stood against the background, like three strong pillars in a field.

First dinner I cooked during my first week of work!

Squirrel munching on some takis someone dropped.

Great blue heron -- super cool. Got to watch it fish.

Overlook along the George Washington Memorial Parkway -- drove there for a sunset a while back.

Maybe possibly my dream home? Love how "rustic" it is, if that's the right term, and how it's kind of tucked away. It's on sale, but probably uber-expensive.
