Day 187: Bird Feeder in the Woods

2026-08-12Hello!The bird feeder is empty, I think. It has squirrel protection — the dome at the top should prevent squirrels from taking the birdseed — but squirrels are clever, so I wouldn't be surprised if they ate the week's supply.This entire area looks untouched, with vines every which way and a thick wall of leaves to the left of frame. Not abandoned, just untouched; left to its own devices for now.Starting tomorrow, I will be releasing a series of images on a creek in the woods. If anyone remembers the week of March basketball photos I published in succession, this will be a sort of similar situation.I used to visit this creek years ago; I caught big tadpoles and small frogs. Now, the creek is drained and doesn't hold any water. Over many years, the creek carved through rock and soil. Now, the dried creek is a rich bed of soil for moss and other plants.I've been extremely busy this month, so I do apologize if I haven't been responding to emails! I'll reply as soon as I'm able…
