A squirrel clings to the side of a tree at eye level to the photographer and stares directly into the camera.
A wooden embroidery hoop stretched with black fabric covered with a dissolving backing. The general pattern of Jupiter's southern hemisphere has been sketched onto it, and most of THAT has been outlined in stem stitching. There are blue and orange "bands" at the top, and lots of blue swirls further down. There is still a lot of open space that will eventually also be covered in swirling stitches
And embroidery hoop stretched with black fabric covered with a dissolving packing. It has drawn on it the approximation of a color enhanced NASA photograph of Jupiter's southern hemisphere. A deep blue has been embroidered on a band at the top and then assorted swirls and loops and squiggles. One row of Orange has been stitched at the top, directly abutting the blue.
An enhanced color image of a NASA photograph of Jupiter, with its intense, swirling storms. The dominant color is blue, with some orange bands and swirls
On black fabric, an embroidered sort-of realistic image of the sun, complete with plasma spurts, sunspots, and other patterns.
A fuzzy, pollen-covered bumblebee flies away from a pink rose of sharon blossom. the flower is light pink, streaking to magenta in the fluted center. In the middle of it emerges a pale yellow pollen-covered stamen.
On black fabric mounted on a wooden embroidery hoop is an embroidered circle that starts with a bright yellow outline and fades to a mixed bright orange. The outline is about 4-5 rows "thick", and on the right side (from 2:00 to 6:00) are many little clusters of stitches in assorted directions, emulating the scaly look of the sun's surface in extreme closeup space photographs.
A CGI rendering of an RPG mini, of a female elf - very, very pasty in complexion, with long, reddish-brown hair with the top pulled back in braids over loose hair. She has on a gold-colored diadem with a green stone in front. She is wearing a long tunic in a sort of dusty pine green trimmed in yellow-gold color, over a shirt and loose slacks in a khaki-green with brown trim, and olive-green knitted ribbed arm warmers. Her "belt" is brown with three bright golden circles on it, with a green and buff leather bag attached at her left hip and a pair of leatherbound books strapped to it at her right hip. She is holding a plain wooden staff in her right hand, which has a well worn ring with some rounded gemstones on it. She is standing on a round base with a top that looks like a patch of grass and stones.
A brown paper bag with a stick on label that says 25 Saffron 11/+ It is resting nwxt to a moderate sized bulb atop a yellow padded mailer from Roco, next to a flyer with a large photograph of a saffron crocus flower next to a pile of saffron spice and a bunch of text information about saffron.

A screenshot from language drops language learning app, in a Norwegian lesson. Orange background with white illustration and text. Three people are sitting around a table with a game board and some game pieces on it. The person in the middle has a speech bubble with a heart in it, and the translation below the picture says, I like to play board games. The Norwegian translation at the bottom says, Jeg liker å spille brettspill.
A weather map of central Indiana with just the wind indicators layer is turned on. The winds, represented by light blue "comet" shaped lines, appear to be swirling counterclockwise around Indianapolis. Just south of the word Indianapolis, there are a couple of spots where a glitch is making the lines take right angle turns instead of smooth swirls.
A short video of an interior Concourse in the Indiana Convention Center as a tornado warning announcement plays overhead. Nobody seems very concerned at all.
A screen cap of the radar right above indianapolis. It is completely red and there is a tornado warning
A sandwich board sign set up on sunny concrete outside of a building with a glass vestibule. It reads: Additional Seating and Restrooms Air-Conditioned Seating and Restrooms Available at the Stadium. Gen-Con Badge Required for Entry.
An out of focus photo of a tiny plastic rabbit glowing green in the dark.
A bowl with square sides filled with orange cherry tomatoes and some weirdly deformed, non-Euclidean yellow tomatoes
Current weather radar over indianapolis, showing a very angry Red Storm directly overhead. It's kind of shaped like a camel.
A cluster of intensely orange marigolds with darker broad petals surrounding a lighter orange frilly center on each blossom grows at the base of some corn stalks
A large pale purple flower with broad petals hangs out at the end of a branch and faces the camera. The base of the petals, where they meet in a fluted center, are dark pinkish purple. There is a fluffy, conical white stamen sticking out of the center of the flower. Off to the right side, partially out of frame, is a flower pot with a maple seedling that is in its second season of being bonsai-ed
A tall sunflower with a proportionally smallish blossom pokes its head out from amongst some very tall corn stalks
A round gold locket with a glass cover. Inside are a few very smol tarot cards that have been painted with a teeny-tiny watercolor brush. (Well, actually, a brush designed for painting DnD miniatures...) The Wheel of Fortune (X) is on top, with a bit of a visual pun, because it's more like the wheel on the *game show* Wheel of Fortune, with different colors of "pie slices"...
A tweet from Phil Tippett (12:45 PM - June 10, 2015) to be fair, there were a lot of dinosaurs. it was a large job.

a clip from Galaxy Quest, in which a bunch of Thermians stand awkwardly in a glass enclosed living room while a man on his hands and knees looks for something
A small square watercolor painting of a hazy sunset behind a bluish-purple cluster of mountains. A river snakes between some pine-covered hills toward the foreground. The colors of the sunset are reflecting on the river.
Looking at the mid-section of a tall stalk of corn. There are two wee little ears on it, each with a fluffy tuft of silk that's out and ready to catch the pollen from the tassels up top. A pole bean vine with a few purple flowers on it is growing up and around the corn stalk.
A clear glass bottle with a black label featuring white outline images of hops, and in gold text reads Rare Brew yaupon pilsner sparkling tea
A green praying mantis sploots on a plant leaf and gazes directly at the camera
A magnificently frilly marigold bloom with a very satisfying color fade from dark brownish orange in the very center, fading out through reddish orange, golden orange, and bright yellow at the tips.
In a verdant patch of leaves, a single marigold blossom stares up at you - dark reddish-orange in the center, fading through orange to golden orange to bright sunny yellow at the edges.
A small circular shaped watercolor painting of some purple mountains, some slightly lighter purple hills, and a forest of trees leading from there all the way to the foreground - set under a glass cabochon in a round wooden pendant setting - brown wood with little stars embossed around the edges (painted gold).
A rectangular watercolor depicting some orange/red upheavals in the ground, showing different layers of rock, topped with columnal rock - in a sort of just slightly parabolic way. The background is black sky (space?) filled with tiny white dots of stars.
A small round watercolor painting of the moon, with dark grey splotches representing the "seas", and a bright, almost sparkling white impact crater at the 11:00 position, with ejecta paths bursting all around it. It is mounted under a glass cabochon in a brass-colored pendant setting with filigree swirls and points around the edges.
A cloudy sky at twilight, looking north... but the clouds to the east are reflecting a golden yellow color. Trees are silhouetted black, and there is a tiny patch of blue near the treeline

Looking through the windshield of a car at an analog oven thermometer sitting on the dashboard. It us currently reading 180 degrees F.
In a wooden hoop, and embroidery of a light brown colored mushroom growing out of some tree bark. There are little tiny bits of moss on the bark and there is a string of beads representing fairy lights along the bottom edge of the mushroom along the tree trunk. There are little reflections of light embroidered into the tops of the bark flakes below them as well as individual bits of moss in the line of light.
In a wooden hoop is an embroidery of a shelf mushroom on some tree bark. It is still very rough - the fine details have not been added, yet, so it still looks mostly 2-dimensional

Closeup of a fuzzy black and yellow striped insect that looks very much like a bumblebee, but has a little fluffy skirt-like tail and feathery antennae. It is crawling around on a ribwort stem.
Closeup of a black walnut shell with a hole chewed into the one side by a squirrel, revealing the bumpy interior of the shell, kind of looking like a cave. The scratch marks from the squirrel's teeth can be seen along the edge of the hole. There is dirt stuck in some of the creases in the shell.
A fuzzy black and yellow bumblebee hovers next to a tall purple cluster of hyssop blossoms sticking out of the top of a stem. The bee has a big yellow pollen sac on one of its legs
Two sunflower stalks amidst even taller corn stalks. The one on the right has one yellow blossom, and the one on the left has 5.

A letter sized piece of paper is taped across the point where two steel elevator doors meet. It says, caution: this elevator is a mimic. It *will* eat you. There is a stairwell down the hall on your left, and a bank of actual elevators by the front lobby.
Thank you half of a table draped with a gold chiffon cloth with black swirly embroidery on it. There is a stand with about a dozen and a half pieces of embroidery and Tiny paintings, and in front of that is a shiny cardboard box with a spider on top of it that is made out of a vacuum tube and wire, a mini watercolor painting of a beach in Iceland and the mini watercolor painting of first trees, a tiny water color being pink held by a crow, and then to the right of that is a beaded embroidery of a tree canopy hanging on a hook that is rested Atop A Mossy pedestal. There are two mannequin heads, each with beaded head pieces, and there is a small tiara with glass beads and turquoise on it.
The stainless steel interior of a hotel elevator where an alarm is blaring because I am stuck
In a wooden hoop painted black, a nighttime forest scene is embroidered. There are assorted trees from the foreground to the background. Bits of little green plants poke up around their bases. The largest tree in the center has a bit of a "gnome hole" at its base, and a cloud of fireflies is emerging from it. In front of it is a fairy ring of blue mushrooms that each give off their own little glow. There is a ring of black seed beads sewn around the perimeter of the hoop.
A large, almost pentagonal shaped beetle with irridescent green back/wings sits on a plant
In two wooden hoops sewn together, an embroidery of a 3-masted ship sailing below a starry sky. (The stars are shiny glass beads) Over that layer is another embroidery of daylight, with some tulle netting visible in a column down the center of the "air" portion of the picture, so it looks like the ship is sailing in a column of night.
In a scene from The Two Towers, three men stand in pouring rain, lit from above. White text reads SO IT BEGINS
We're looking out a second story window of my house to a person in a parking lot across the street, setting off pyrotechnics that just keep going and going and going. Many of them go up out of frame because they're exploding over my house.
In a warehouse, leaning up against a shelf with a bunch of art supplies and a pallet leaning against some wood leaning against the wall, a large square piece of plywood just under one meter across has spray painted on it, in red paint, DO NOT FEED SPIDERS. The word NOT is underlined in black.

'Tis I, bleary-eyed and slightly disheveled, taking a selfie before I go out before 6:30am to water the gardens (because, otherwise, I would explode in the sun and heat, like some kind of DnD monster right after Matthew Mercer says, "How do you want to do this?") My long, curly brown and silver hair is down and looking kind of nice, thus leading to my puzzled expression.
