Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #thinking. Here's a female Evening Grosbeak thinking about joining her relatives feeding below her.

Palestine and Halloween themed knitting laid out on a green keffiyeh. There's a small ghost mouse, three pumpkins, four tatreez coasters, two Palestinian poppies, a watermelon bookmark, and a ghost.

#showmeyourknits Spooky week! My favourite thing to knit! 🎃🧶
Last week I started a Halloween raffle to raise money for Palestine. We haven't had many entries yet, and I wonder if the lovely people of knitsky would be interested!

In Greenland's Scoresby Sund, a deep blue iceberg seems to glow from within as it is illuminated by the late afternoon sun, while glittering ice fragments float within its soft reflections.

This morning dazzled us with its sunbeams; if only for a few minutes. The golden sun rising over the distant horizon broke through the grey and white clouds. The city buildings of Marseille have yet to come out of the darkness.

“The sun is not only a painter but a sculptor.”

A stunning oval cloud that is divided in the middle on a deep blue last Sunday in June sky. The sun is visible behind the cloud as a little circle. It is casting all colors of the rainbow over the cloud, just amazing! There’s a light blue around the sun, shades of orange, red, pink, and even green. There are sun rays around the cloud. This is probably the most beautiful cloud I’ve ever seen.

Yesterday I saw this spectacular cloud - a beautiful reminder, that the sun always shines above the clouds! ⛅️

It’s never too late to start masking again.

Covid isn’t over. Measles is spreading rapidly. We’ve got anti-vaxxers in charge if public health.

There’s a huge community of support here if you want to learn more about respirators.

You won’t be the lone masker, I promise!

A serene beach scene at sunset, with the sun a bright orange orb low on the horizon over a calm ocean. The sky above is a warm gradient of orange and yellow, with subtle clouds. The wet sand on the beach reflects the light, and several small rocks and distant human figures are visible in silhouette against the glowing sky.

A variety of crows based on real species are on a pastel background. The surroundings are filled with sparkly effects that crows love. The birds are smiling gently or playfully and look happy and joyful.

A stunning sunset over a beach with wet sand reflecting the golden rays of the setting sun. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds illuminated in shades of gold, yellow, and orange. In the distance, low mountains or hills create a dark silhouette against the vivid sky. Gentle ocean waves roll towards the shore, creating lines of wet, shimmering sand in the foreground.”

Good morning, it’s Friday!! 🥳 Also #Scape time. Please have a great day. The tide rises and falls like the sun causing infinite ripples in the sand. #Ireland #photography #EastCoastKin

Almost everything I used to love doing, I could do while wearing a respirator.

My chronic illness prevents me from doing any of them.

You only get one body, and your health is worth protecting.

Adaptation is key. Wear a well fitted mask like an N95 & help stop the spread of Covid.

Didn't manage to capture the way the setting sun illuminated the poppy petals in the margins of the barley yesterday, but who cares? We have a singing Corn Bunting back on the patch near Crosemere in North Shropshire, my first in three years!

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000.

Children are starving to death.

Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people.

Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

It’s is never too late to start wearing a mask again.

Cuts to public health, social services and escalating fascism mean it’s more important than ever to protect your own health and the health of your community.

It’s a simple, powerful and effective way to resist!

Have a good weekend and thank you for following, you're all much appreciated!

My owl sketch :)

Found some of my old environment artworks hidden in the shadows of my folders.
Melancholic places, fading light, quiet moods, and echoes of where my imagination used to live... Feel like they deserve to breathe again.

Black and white photo of a 17th century church. Starry sky with wispy clouds.

The church on the hill at night. No I wasn’t scared standing in a graveyard at night. Ok, maybe just a little bit. #photography #EastCoastKin #classicmono

This is all too common a line of thought. “You can wear a mask if you want, but I’m comfortable with my risk.”

1. That’s not how masks work. 2. That’s not how VIRUSES work. 3. Thanks for deciding you’re comfortable with MY risk.

Anybody preaching community care needs to figure this out stat.
