Somebody planted seeds in the flower pots. Then these little sunflower sprouts popped up. Then the leaves were eaten. Was it the same somebody? Is this a Mouse's Sunflower farm? Could it have been the Chipmunk?

Are they terraforming my flowerpots?

I'm so happy to welcome the Meadowlarks back to Biophilium meadow. 2 males and a female landed in time to watch the sun set. I feel like its our pair and their chick from last year returning home. I wonder where they've been. I wonder what they've seen. I hope they nest near the earthship.

Check out our starter pack of artists making stuff in collaboration with science and nature. It's a list of accounts to follow on Bluesky. Let me know if you'd like on or off the list.

Cells aren't tuned in to our daily goings on or international current events, but they are tuned in to how those things effect our inner beings. Like if we are happy, or well fed or clean. Some stay with us longer so our bone cells might have more stories about us than our hair cells.

How come its illegal for women to give traditional herbal remedies if they are not Dr's, but politicians can give made up medical advice?

The sound of winter melting is the song of the Red Wing Blackbird. Those creeks and whistles that trace the shape of the swamps and the thaw of mud. The faint warmth the sun gives the breeze despite the piles leftover snow skulking in the shade. It's remembering what I forgot in deep winter.

What I’m working on today. I changed one of the hemispheres to a sky blue and I’ll be adding clouds this morning.

Later, I’ll add stars and constellations in ink to the top hemisphere.

My circadian rhythm is off, but I’m doing my best. A work in progress.

E is for Euglena, eyespotted and elegant. The letter E from my Microbial Alphabet series.

Euglenoids are always a fun thing to see under the microscope. They are immediately identifiable by their bright red eye spots. Here I have depicted a variety of euglenoids in various shades and forms.

A mouse glows in the dark under the work 'transgenic'

In 2000, Edwardo Kac made the first transgenic art with his Glow in the Dark Bunny who flouresced with the Jellyfish gene that had been added to his genome.
