I have been commissioned 🔥 Henry-Barnabé de la Veulerie and their friends are coming back.

I'll start tomorrow, and post the work in progress below.

Plusieurs formes de l'espace de couleur HSV (le pudding à l'arsenic, le cône hexagonal, le cone) et la projection pour les construire (un cube RGB avec la grande diagonale noir-blanc à la verticale, un point à l'intérieur du cube projeté sur son ombre hexagonale)

Took a detour on my way home from the city today to look for snowy owls and lucked into one just before sunset. They're such beautiful birds. #birds 🌿

A large brown hawk is about to land on the very top of an evergreen tree. Its wings are up, tail spread out and feet out about to grab the top branch.

HOLY CRAP, what a glorious, powerful bird!!

a book page with a coat of arms showing a skull, next to it is written Caterine Morte

they had goth baddies in the 17th century as evidenced by the fact that a woman named Caterine Morte had a skull coat of arms

Historical illustration of a "Golden Crowned Parroquet," a vibrant green parrot with a striking golden-yellow patch on its forehead, red eyes, and a hooked dark beak. The bird has blue and dark green feathers on its wings and long tail feathers with subtle yellow highlights. It is perched on a textured, curved tree branch above a small patch of green grass and foliage. The naturalistic style captures fine feather details and the bird’s firm grip on the branch. The vintage artwork, part of "The Naturalist’s Pocket Magazine," showcases nature’s curiosities through detailed, colorful depiction.

I found this amazing Trosia semirufa moth on my window last night at @casabentbill.bsky.social

Close-up of a dark-feathered bird with a pale beak and bright blue eye ring against a soft green background.

Here's a little more detail of the eye ring on the male Black-headed Trogon at Agami Island. The blue is skin; not feathers.

One day, I hope to get a closer view of this species.

Brown and black speckled bird with a blue face and pale bill perched on a slanted branch against a soft, blurred background.

I watched a large group of young Ocellated Antbirds hunting in an antswarm with their parents yesterday. I've never been this close to this species, as I could have literally reached out and touched this bird.

This is an obligate antbirds, meaning...

Spent some time testing new 8-bit Atari equip. Have an 800XL I picked up recently with a stuck key. Fixed by cleaning mylar. Also got an Indus GT working that I picked up at VCFMW for $50. Cleaned the head & greased the rails. All working great! #atari #atari8bit #retrocomputing #indusGT

LEGO Ideas page screenshot showing a yellow LEGO recreation of a cuneiform tablet on a clear stand. Described as "Complaint Tablet to Ea-Nasir". Box states: "Milestone missed" and below: "315 supporters."

Still can't believe y'all missed out on such a visionary #Lego Idea (not mine though)! 😲😉

Black-and-yellow bird with a blue eye ring perched on a strand of barbed wire against a soft green background.

I'm not sure if I'm legally allowed to post two #birdoftheday posts for #birdonawire

But here's a closer view of the male Black-headed Trogon, showing his darker head and iridescent back.

Woodcarved scene on a round base. An humanoid octopus wearing a dress is holding a basket with a duck inside of it. On the head of the octopus, a grumpy frog taking shelter of a big ancient book. Next to them all, a sword is coming out of water among bulrush. On the top of it sits a kingfisher.

Glass bell with a woodcarved scene of a humanoid octopus wearing a dress on the surface of a pond. The creature has a kingfisher on its head. It's holding a book wich has a duck sitting on it. On the left of the base looking like water, bulrushes. On the right, a little frog has its head out of water. In the background, indoor plants by a window.

I want to make a third Ancient Wisdom. Someone commission me please.

A yellow-bellied sapsucker pecking at a berry while hanging upside down from a branch

The yellow-bellied sapsucker perched on a branch, with some berries around him. It has chunks of berries smeared all over its beak. You can actually see the yellow belly that gives it its name!

Seen today on my commute through Central Park: a yellow-bellied sapsucker (chupasavia norreño) having a berry breakfast... I didn't know they like berries too! #birds 🪶

Will do

Avec le collectif on a visité un petit local aujourd'hui. On va voir ce qu'on peut faire ou pas dedans. En tout cas, on manque pas d'idées. Ça fait du bien d'être dans l'action, de créer du commun, de voir les autres mettre de l'énergie dans du collectif.

A stag is dashing through a snowy forest, followed by three ghostly rabbits. Flames are framing its head. Everyone has glowing white eyes because at this point I am not even sure what proper eyes look like anymore.
