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.

Pagoda at Brookside Gardens

Lilac Dahlias! (I think? Dunno in terms of color or flower, I used an image search XD).

Pair of pink Dahlias, hiding out in a bush

Orange/yellow flower! Like the sun flaring out B) But not really? Who knows

Pretty flower, kind of reminds me of a sunflower but pink -- I also like the pastel colors (if it counts as pastel?).

A Cooper's Hawk! Taken through my binoculars haha. Also didn't know what it was, so I asked the birding discord to id it, and they said it was a Cooper's Hawk! So exciting!

My first time making quesadillas! Surprisingly easy after you have everything prepped.

二二八和平紀念公園 (228 Peace Memorial Park)! I spent a lot of time here when I was in Taiwan, made me feel calm and comfortable.
