A quirk of this midday photo is that for whatever reason the interior of the agouti's ear caught the sunlight & shone so vividly red that at first we thought the agouti was tagged & we were all wondering who would tag an agouti #Fotomontag #PhotoMonday #NikonZ8 #Nature #outdoors #wildlife #rodent

i don't know who needs to hear this right now but every decade or 3 there's a UFO flap they can be a lot of fun if accepted for the trick of mass psychology they are but the POTUS can't give NY state guv or any state guv the right to shoot down anything some high-level victim of a mass hallucination event decides is "unidentified," "alien," or "foreign" we have an FAA & an Air Force, they must decide these things, not unqualified elected officials #UFO #UAP #USPolitics #MassHysteria
