Last Notes npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks It’s been a while. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Yep, they are the worst! I will admit that they absolutely terrify me and I shriek like a girl and run away when one comes near me! BUT (and I have to constantly remind myself of this), while they may not be the most important pollinators, they are quite important for pest control. Without them, there would be a lot more caterpillars, grasshoppers, and other insects that damage plants... Always amazes me how everything plays a part in the ecosystem! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Ummm… are you growing celery from celery!?! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks From the beach it looked like a snake. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Oh! Is it still at HMNS??? I’m back for a couple days before I jet off to India for work… might need to try to squeeze in a visit. 🤗 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks 🫣 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Commit. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I almost got the 100-500! I'm glad I went with the 200-800 though. It has been awesome for what I do. The only problem is now I want an extender! 🫣 Also, if you want a camera bag that you can actually set up so you can leave the 200-800 attached to your body, I have the Lowerpro ProTactic 450 AW. Totally worth the money, super comfortable, and I can literally slide the lens straight down into the bag from the top with the body attached. Super convenient. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Yes! It’s just about all I use anymore. 😜 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks In. ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I’ve sorted through over 3,000 photos from the last 4 days… 😵💫🫣🫠 But if @nprofile…x5qn was in the grey rash guard, I have all y’all in all the tubes! 🤗 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks The darkness is intentional. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I'm curious... what part of the Bible were you thinking of? npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Unblinking. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks November 6, 2025 — 9:06 PM npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Storm light and evening surfers. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Roadside Hawk -- adult and juvenile. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Threading the spray. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Different moments from the same session. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Light moving on. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks End of day, eyes still on the water. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks GM! This was me on my first call at 0530. 😂 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Right light. Right place.

I'll share it on my FB and Instagram so the surfers in my area see it! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Read the wave. Trust the edge. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Before the set. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Precision feels quiet when it's done right. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Light. Water. Timing. npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Hiiiiii! 👋 Do you surf? npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks That sounds amazing! I struggle with the acidity. And I just told @nprofile…twnl (who likes the higher acidity) and he goes "Oh, that sounds terrible!" 😂 Guess I'm not bringing any back from India for him... 😬 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Feels like it sometimes... npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I'm so glad I came across this thread! I just looked up monsooned beans and really want to try them now. I'm going to India next month for work so I'll see what I can find to bring back. 🤗 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I had no idea you could roast in an air popcorn popper! I also started drinking coffee just over a year ago... So I'm pretty new to all of this. But I got the hubs a 1Zpresso j-ultra manual grinder for Christmas this year. He has a Flair 58 and I've been learning how to make espresso properly. 🤪 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Ohhhhhhhhh... That makes sense 🤦🏻. Do you roast at home? I'd love to see pictures of your setup if you do! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I came here to say this... (Minus the coffee roasting experience 😬) npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Saw this one in Christiana a couple weeks ago! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks https://blossom.primal.net/9c3ff11676a47b7ca2c0202e414edc5ad309fcc158792c6a7efb3e5daf060634.gif npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Held its shape just long enough. 🌊 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Know what's super cool? I took these pictures back in late June, with rainy season ramping up. I never caught this surfer again on the couple of days I made it out to shoot in the last 5 months. BUT, YOU GUYS, I MET HIM IN THE WATER ON SATURDAY! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks GM! Post surfing/bodyboarding 🏄🏻♂️ breakfast from yesterday. 🤤 Choreada prensada and a new type of coffee (made with a vandola) I haven't tried before. Think I still prefer the Milenio F1! ☕️🇨🇷 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Welcome!!! 🤗 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I have some nice shots of you surfing at sunset the other day! I'll send them over when I get them downloaded. 🤗 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks THE BEST COFFEE IN 🇨🇷!!! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Why is it so funny to watch them prance across the snow? 😂 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Thank you! My husband had a fantastic idea the other day to turn some of my photographs into puzzles to give my mom for Christmas. I think this is one of the shots I'll use!! 🤗 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks If you've got it, fluff it! 💁🦜 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Nice!

Cool shot! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Been 🌧️ rainy 🌧️ and gray ALLLLLLLLLL day... Guess this is jungle-style soup weather! First time cooking with a "zapallo tico," a common Calabaza / West Indian Pumpkin that’s grown all over Costa Rica. Made a zapallo and achiote creamy soup. I am NOT disappointed. 🤤 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks The single ear turn... *squeeeeee* 🤗 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks ...through the existential crisis or... 😂 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I came here to say this! 🌸 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks If you’ve ever lived near toucans, I know you can HEAR this picture...📣 Volume: maximum.

Seconds after this was taken, that water apple was devoured and he had juice dripping from his beak! 🤤 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Welcome! 👋🏻 Recovering perfectionist here! 🥴 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks 🤢 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks I could probably do a whole series on woodpeckers. I'm mildly obsessed with them and take ~347 pictures of every one I see. But hey, there are worse obsessions to have, right? npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks It's been too many years since I've seen it in person. 😞 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Rufous-tailed Hummingbird (Amazilia tzacatl) -- these tiny warriors aren’t just feisty, they’re also key pollinators. Thanks to their territorial battles, they help spread pollen across entire habitats. Nature’s little gardeners in turbo mode! 🌺 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks @npub13pp…fflu npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Fun fact: back then (around the time Jesus lived), wine almost certainly had a lower alcohol content. Most natural (wild) yeast used for fermentation actually stopped working around 4-7% ABV. Modern strains have been developed to allow fermentation up to 12-15%, but these didn't exist back then. Also, it was very common practice in the Greco-Roman world to dilute wine with water in a 1:2 or 1:4 ratio and was considered barbaric and inappropriate to drink it straight. So, not exactly a direct comparison. Also, my high school Latin teacher would be very proud of me right now for remembering this! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Buff-throated Saltator (Saltator maximus) seen out at our farm. These guys sing a loud, melodious song, and I spent probably 20 minutes trying to find it after I heard it singing! Fun fact - the genus name Saltator comes from Latin saltātor, meaning “dancer” or “jumper" and was coined by early naturalists because these birds were often seen making little hopping or bounding movements in the trees while foraging. The species name "maximus" means “greatest” or “largest” in Latin. So, they are literally named "the big jumper" 🐸 or "the largest dancer." 🕺 npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks 🤣 🤣 🤣
npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Muchas gracias!! I'll give it a try! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks 🤤🤤🤤 Did you make the cream sauce?? npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks Scarlet-rumped tanagers (male and female) out at the farm... More and more birds are showing up with all the fruit trees growing now! Can't wait to see this place in another year! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks 😂 Never fails! npub1qavlcjggzmgd4m332ens9xknp3s8t93zfgljupsz5jddygvc4k5slknzk3 BeaksNBreaks This Africanized honey bee (Apis mellifera) was foraging on grass flowers at our farm. Note the corbicula ("pollen baskets") on the hind legs, where she stores pollen for transport back to the colony. While gathering protein for the hive, she simultaneously facilitates cross-pollination - a vital ecological service in tropical ecosystems. The significant increase in visible pollinators at our farm over the last year has just been incredible to watch!
