Tiny spider checking out the menu possibilities on a zinnia.

Something’s munching on the zinnias; I suspect the grasshoppers that are clacking around.

New flower in the native garden, bitter sneeze weed.

#WhitePumpkins
I was waiting for a bus and saw a display of white pumpkins but the #golden #rays of #Sun cast a blush on them that only became more apparent when I reviewed the shot.

Pigments and shells with drilled holes to be used as beads found with Châtelperronian stone tools in France suggest humans—or Neanderthals—were decorating themselves in the Middle Paleolithic, just as Homo sapiens were moving into Eurasia. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I just learned about the hyrax. An animal that looks like they're just done with everyone's bullshit

An Eastern bluebird sits in green foliage, near white berries on red stems. The background is blurred green.

Fall vibes and an Eastern bluebird.

Glad to be of help (though you’re not the subject of my post). : )

The Northern Plains have dirt roads that occasionally are graded, so dirt from shoulder to shoulder. Prairie trails are not graded, so have plants growing in the center, the better to catch fire from catalytic converters in dry summers.

A Virginia Rail getting the feathers in order during a preening session in the sunlight. The cattails die back this time of year, making the marsh birds easier to see.

Two cats resting in my lap

Trapped here forever, since getting up would disturb them.

A high-contrast, night photo featuring a gray-black background. The central diffused white moon is visible, against which the sharp silhouette of a thin tree branch and a few leaves is cast.

Night chill gathers ink
branches whisper to the moon
light dissolves in hush

By far, my favourite seabird: the Atlantic Puffin. This one was seen in Reykjavik in 2024. #BirdOfTheDay #seabird #seabirds #birds #eastcoastkin #photography #birdwatching #babybird #reykjavik #iceland #puffins #atlanticpuffin

Two Spaniels in snowy forest.

Sinitaivaan lisäksi löytyi #koirataivas 😃 Kuvassa Midas & Morris muutama talvi sitten. Pojat lähettää terkut kaikille karvakavereille sinitaivaan alla 😊

I was just about to paint an old bit of slightly rubbish furniture, in an attempt to make it nicer. So I put an old sheet down, turned my back for a moment…. and came back to find this…😂❤️
So now I’m just sat here because I don’t want to wake sleepy spaniels!!

Four deer in a line

Monday morning commute

In the labyrinth of mirrors, a single heart refracts into countless forms. Sometimes clear, sometimes distorted. Memories are like that too. There is only one experience, yet each carries a different image. For one, it is pain, for another, comfort, and for us, it changes over time.

Good morning

Sunday #stunday

Blue sky with clouds shaped like feathers through ice crystals
