Wisteria & sky. There were *clouds* of sweet furry bees but I scared them and couldn’t get a shot of them nomming on blossoms. #summer #floral #flowers #trees #appalachia (at Charleston, West Virginia)

I haven’t been to Camden Park since I was a teenager, and I haven’t ever played Fallout 76, but after driving by today, I realized that they probably didn’t have to change the appearance at all to get that “post apocalyptic wasteland” look. That place horrifies me, and I love it.
Omg, I used to go to Camden Park all the time as a kid. That shit was held together with duct tape and prayers even all those years ago
