- I have over 20k followers. I’m pretty sure around 13k of those are bots/scammers. I gave up blocking them as and when the followed months ago. I couldn’t keep up! I have to say it really puts my off using this app regularly going forward. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyway here are 4 images…
- Gorgeous photos! I follow you and I’m not a bot. 🥰
- After taking photos 📷 for 3 days of the leucistic bald eagle 🪶hanging around here in Southwest Missouri these are the best ones I had at that distance.

- Bird lover friends, check out this artist! I think these little felt bird boxes would make amazing gifts! 🪶
- Buying spicy bird seed has done the trick for keeping squirrels out of my bird feeder with the camera…I still put the regular seed in my other feeders for squirrels, but this one is exclusively for my bird friends. ♥️🪶

- I’m a newbie to Lightroom. I like how easy it is to use…not at all like Photoshop, but I really love playing with it! Which do you like better? Right or Left? #photography
- Bought a Blu Ray player and dug out our old DVDs...ordered some new ones of our favorite shows because we are sick of streaming services. Anyone else going backwards tech-wise? I'd like to think we're 'neo-old school-techies' now. 😜

- I’m a retired English teacher, I would have failed her as well. Her paper wasn’t even remotely college level writing. I had middle schoolers who could write better than that…if she wanted an opportunity to defend her beliefs she missed the mark & instead made a spectacle of herself.
- My sweet baby boy has a PSA for you this holiday season. 😂🤣🎅
- I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited
- Any luck finding the owner?

- 3/3 children until it’s required for school. These 20 something’s are smarter and more insightful than what we give them credit for sometimes.
- 1/3 I have a daughter who just graduated from college and another who is a sophomore in college….they both refuse to use AI anything and they asked for flip phones for Christmas. They, along with many of their friends, are trying to decrease their tech use. They feel trapped by their devices and
