A photo of a Luna moth taken from above the stick it was climbing. You can see the fluffy purple legs, white body, black eyes, and large tan frilled antennae (which means this is a male)

A profile view of a male Luna moth climbing up a sapling and drying its wings after coming out of its cocoon. It has purple feet, a thick fuzzy white body, and beautiful lime green wings.

Still thinking about the Luna moth I saw while hiking Conckles Hollow Nature Preserve last weekend. #moth

Great time of year to go herping! The rat snake was a really fun spot! #herping #salamanders

A medium hair orange tabby cat with his paws on my torso, reaching up for affection. He’s on a blue, pink, and yellow flowered bedspread. His head is tilted and his eyes are closed as he gets behind the ear scritches from my right hand, and you can see my forearm, tattooed with mushrooms and a jumping spider.

He’s my best friend, he’s my pal, he’s my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy! #orangecat

I’ve never understood it. Like… do they not share the bathrooms in their home with any gender?? It has never made sense to me.

In an extra sad twist of fate… the Minolta Maxxum 450si SLR left to me by the same grandfather is having the SAME PROBLEM!!! 😭😭😭 Battery works, turns on and the lens activates and makes noise, but when you add film it just doesn’t work. I feel cursed.

Yea, I’ll try taking it somewhere this week to find out if I can get it worked on.

Well… turns out that although the batteries I got do work and the lenses moved, the film rolling mechanism isn’t activating so it’s not going to work at all πŸ˜₯ I’m pretty devastated…

My hand holding a Miolta auto focus Tele point and and shoot 35mm film camera, circa 1985. It’s a kind of chunky looking retro point and shoot with a built in flash on the top right and a chunky side on the left for the odd shaped battery it takes. Still in excellent condition.

A photographer friend of mine helped me go through the film cameras my dad’s dad used to own. I’m excited to try out this simple point and shoot Japanese film camera from 1985! On my third try ordering the right battery for it πŸ˜… but I’m hoping to get it running this week! #filmcamera #photography
