Oil on wood painting of a 7-11 from the parking lot at magic hour. The primary source of light in the painting is the 7-11 sign. The blue and pink glow of the fading day filters through trees behind the store.
This may not be safe for viewing at work.

Overhead photo-like illustration/composite of this bee. It's on a pink background. It is giner-clord, with six black fuzzy legs, and two antennae, with its wings crossed on its back
Illustration: Petra Korlević/The Guardian
Seeing videos of these big bees is really amazing. They can grow up to 4cm/1.575 in in length.
Commercial farming is causing their decline :(
NSFW because some don't like insects

Went out of town last weekend and got screwed over by a hotel and had to scramble to find another option. Ended up at a B&B run by a couple. The husband was super into bees, so the entire yard was a pollinator garden, and he had his hives out back. Turns out the county fair was also happening and he was president of the beekeepers club so we got to see them in action at the fair.
Anyways...bees are great. We need more of them and need to protect the ones we have better. Goal is to get more flowers in the yard next year.
Oh...also the advice I got: Do not clean up your garden in the fall. Apparently a lot of bees rely on the dead plants over the winter (at least in our PNW climate). Also a great excuse to do less yardwork!

A large Hairy Woodpecker rests on a feeder. The feeder is a log with holes drilled into it. Each hole is filled with a mix of fat, nuts and mealworms.
The Hairy Woodpeckers have decided my feeder is OK. This was a particularly large one. The Red Bellied have started to visit as well, but never stay long enough for me to get a decent photo.
so ... you packed it with seed (worms?) behind ... plastic wood, or peanut butter?
The wood is real. The holes in the wood are filled with a mix of suet, peanuts, and mealworms.
Oooh! Wheredya get that feeder?

A 3- piece band of aging punk rockers wearing suits (or, for the drummer, a tuxedo t-shirt) with a tall, skinny bowler-wearing Brit singing.
We saw this Circle Jerks / Repo Man show last night, it was a good time. The show open as pictured, with Alex singing the first song then Keith Norris coming out for a full set of Circle Jerks hits.
As the set was winding down Keith looked at the set list and said “I’ve been told we have ten minutes. If we can’t do six songs in ten minutes what are we even doing here?”
After that a pretty good Q&A with Alex, Keith, and Zander Schloss, who played Kevin the Nerd in the movie and is currently playing bass with Circle Jerks. After that, we watched Repo Man, but there were a few projection glitches in the first half hour that got annoying then cleared up.

Relistened to that whole soundtrack the other day for the first time in probably 20 years, even though a few tracks are in heavy rotation. Flawless mix.

This is probably the best picture of the sun's surface in visible light. Photo covers about the radius of the Earth. From the Daniel Inouye telescope in Hawaii.

Archie comic panel. Archie is wearing a white t-shirt with a Canadian red maple leaf emblem on the chest. He is saying: "People often ask me why I have this thing for Canada!"
Take off, eh.

A young person, in a small, tidy bundle, sleeping on my sidewalk, this morning, atop a clean prayer rug. Musta felt safe in behind the nostalgia mobile.

Fed her breakfast, filled her water, and closed the door behind her.

Painting of an interior, behind a woman leaning on a windowsill looing outwards. The interior is dim, in darker hues. The landscape out the window is bright, with tall trees and ships' masts visible.

Nice little shop in Midland, Ontario that sells about a dozen different strains of catnip, plus necessary gimmick accessories like cat sunglasses and motorcycle helmets.
Picked up some "AKAT-47" and "Fake Mews" for our cat Ludwig to try, because the "Purrcatory" and "Fuzz Aldrin" were all sold out.

Are they playing "When Andromeda Comes For A Visit?"
Looks like a Lorenz Attractor
@poorusher Yeah there have been a variety of synth tools using it lately, my Disting module has it as a preset.

An open door view of a simple wooden deck with mixed texture rugs in the foreground and gravel in the background. A small black dog is in the middle of the photo, sleeping in the sun.
One of the benefits of our house in Portland, easy access for Hudson to sun himself on our side deck when he feels like it.

4 panel comic.
Panel 1: A pink blob character in suit tells Forg “you did a good business”

Panel 3: forg holds the dollar bill. The man in suit walks off the frame. He reminds forg “don’t spend it all at once”

Motion-blurred, fish-eyed photo of a tiger *leaping* out of the back of pickup truck, where a carrying container has been opened, onto hard-packed earth, its enormous front paws just slightly off the ground; a few other parked trucks are visible at the horizon

"What a photo! A female Amur tiger is released into the wild in Kazakhstan."

@davidl Stolen from replies to Derf's post, I admit.
There is a more reassuring photo of her along the nearby wetland, or river.

@snarkout I think of this line from that poem sometimes when getting something done, but substituting the thing done for the word "tiger"

I don't know who these guys are. But am now intrigued due to this pretty great photo.
@homerj Seen 'em 2x, they often sound like this looks.
@homerj My entry point was I Will Die Here (https://thebody.bandcamp.com/album...), which compared to their live stuff is pretty *produced* (in a good way, I think).
I stumbled across them a while back and hadn't heard music that terrifying before.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm a fan. Not sure what you'd call this. Maybe "If that Halloween sound effects album was played at half speed and was a metal album"?

Odysseus and his men look upon a giant emerging from a cave whose large eye peers at them. The greek soldiers run away in fear, each of them having just one eye. It turns out that the giant "biclops" (freakish to them) has two eyes.

Typical. The women does the work, but the guys celebrate "their" success.
