The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 2 is “floating” (suggested by @RossA). Of course I’ll do a picture of ducks for this; floating ducks colliding while going after floating mealworm treats. 📷🦆 #mbaug

Monkey puzzle tree

Micro.blog is doing a photo challenge for August. The word for today is “up” (suggested by @LJPUK). Today I trimmed a bunch of branches; here I’m looking up at a sagging branch of the big tree by the chicken coops. 📷 #mbaug
