a strikingly brilliant goldfinch rests at the lip of a stone birdbath, the water reflecting the weather-worn woo slats of the fence. At the base of the photo are the far-reaching leaves of a huge artichoke plant. The finch's bright gold feathers stand out from its dark cap and its black & white striated wings & tail.
o! the joy!
a particularly beautiful goldfinch takes advantage of the literally *just* cleaned birdbath

a beautiful bee busies itself in a lavender bloom. Many more such blooms are in sharp focus, as well as the beautiful dusty green foliage of the lavender bush. The background of the photo is a beautiful backdrop mottle of out-of-focus purples and greens.
o! the joy of #spring! so near!
this bee didn't appreciate my getting closer & closer for "the perfect photo" so I backed off, and let the dear fuzzball do its thing. So, ladies & gentlemen of the #garden: this is the best I could do.

Hello, BUFFLEHEAD!!!
Also, how many ways can the subtitles get “Echizen” wrong?
Atchison. Etchisen. Edgy zen. Edge on zen.
Those are all from the subtitles. It’s pretty impressive, actually.
Okay actually these subtitles are so bad, they must be using some program to do it. This is why you need actual people translating! It’s a skill! You can’t just plug text into Google Translate and expect you’ll get something understandable out from it
