Leaving this here, just in case someone like @fractalkitty or some other alien, ghost, or geek comes across some notion about doing palette cycling for a bit of change of pace, after having looked at Deluxe Paint: https://pulkomandy.tk/projects/GrafX2/downloads?order=platform&desc=

@mario well - I need to go plant some flax today, but I played a little with pixels: https://codepen.io/fractalkitty/pen/LYoGVXW

I was super excited to see multiple Western Tanagers in my yard at the same time. These are some of my favorite birds because of how brightly colored the males are.

A female Western Tanager sitting in a Western Redcedar. This bird is the same size as the male, but the body is covered in muted yellow feathers. The grey-brown wings are barely visible in this pose.
A different male Western Tanager that I believe is younger than the other. It has the same coloring as the other male, except the red feathers on its face do not extend beyond the eye and are not quite as bright.

I’m going to try to grow flax for spinning this year. It will be an adventure.

When I first moved to Oregon 23 months ago, I caught a glimpse of a bird I didn't recognize hanging out in my backyard. Without getting a picture of it, I tried to search online to find out what I saw. The results told me it was a Black-headed Grosbeak, but I never saw it again, so I assumed I had mistaken what I saw and actually had seen a robin that had something in its beak... Until today, when this pair showed up at my feeder.

A bird with a peach chest, light brown wings flecked with white, and a large, tan beak, perched on a fencepost while rain falls around it.

Check it out - my friend @speleo published a new blog post - Integers in our Continuum

https://kylehovey.github.io/blog/the-integers-in-our-continuum

I spent hours contemplating the construction of von Neumann Ordinals for the artwork (And will probably spend many more on consciousness and the continuum.)
