I'd seriously love to hear more about your craft, but I don't wanna derail the thread (perhaps if we include photos it will retain its integrity Oh-em-gee!!! *faints*A bit over a week to go, so a bit of a teaser for you.
Yes that is a banana hammock.

They both have a fancy cream filling inside.
In fact the big brown one has THREE separate compartments full of cream. drool

...and, well, a few shots of a Florida Box Turtle that decided to cross the bike path. The interesting part was that when I got off my bike, and sat on the path to get some better angles, well....see what our intrepid box turtle decided to do, starting with peering at me through the grass:

OK, truth told: I have a Google Pixel 2 phone, and the camera on it is exceptional - easily as good as a few DSLR's I've used in the past (not exaggerating). Sadly, later this week, I'm giving it up to my "daughter" (long story - not biologically related, but she's MY KID), we're swapping phones - my Pixel 2 for her older HTC phone. She's going to Italy on a work-study program for the summer, and her mom (we're in a weird situation - romantically "involved", but not, separated, but trying to sort it out, but living 600+ miles apart, but I don't want to talk/think about it any more...) wants her to have the Pixel for the trip, because of the camera. We're all on the same plan, so it's just a matter of swapping the data on the phones, and off we go. I don't NEED the Pixel, and never wanted it, it was chosen for me. That said, the camera on this thing is astonishingly good, and I will miss it.
So, I'm kind of "spamming" this thread until I have to give that phone up. Here are a few offerings from today's stash:

I ordered a refurbed Pixel from Amazon and they sent me a Pixel 2. I'm annoyed at the lack of a headphone jack but it sounds like I'll be able to get some nice pics at least.

You can see all the sun flower seed hulls left over from feeding the birds all winter.
He doesn’t run very far when I come out to fill the feeder. This is his second season of gobbling and trying to whoo the hens.
