An aggressive swan at Southaven Park chased away all the other swans. Amy was mystified and terrified. #southavenpark #longisland #swan #birdsofinstagram #birds #canadageese #wings #water #vsco #newyork #nuts_about_birds

"Who, me? I'm not doing anything bad!" Amy seems to be back to her normal self today, and no plant on the property is safe. #ikindofhatethisplantanyway #amy #dogsofinstagram #dogs #beachgrass #dogintrouble #dogshaming #findthepuppy #whereswaldo

This little girl spent a few hours today at the vet, getting x-rays taken of the paw she's been limping on recently. She has some shoulder instability, probably related to the median tendon there, but the good news is there is no visible loose cartilage floating around requiring surgery. She may still require it in the future, if the limping doesn't resolve with the prescribed rest and anti inflammatories. Yikes. #amy #dogs #dogsofinstagram #getbetter #limping #norunning #nojumping #nofun #veterinary #goodbyelifesavings

The birds are very happy I started filling up the feeder again. #tuftedtitmouse #birdsofinstagram #birds #fall

Raked leaves today. Seemed like the most pointless activity ever. Blah.

Because at the end of a long week like this one, I'm feeling a blurred around the edges and a lot worn down. Thank Dog for three day weekends. #workselfie #weekend

The tiny things around us have a world of their own, one I love exploring. This is a #macro of a marigold seed pod. The matchstick-like seeds are arrayed in a honeycomb pattern when seen from above. #macrophotography #marigolds #macros #flowers #seeds #longisland #nature #newyork #fall

With the colder temperatures, I'd thought the time for #insect #macros was done. Happily not! #insects #macrophotography #imreadyformycloseup #bubbles
