We have a dilemma. The time is 5:30. But dogs only understand tummy time. And their tummies are sure that it is 6:30.

Do I feed them at 5:30 until the Spring? Shall I pretend to be hard core and refuse their bewildered entreaties until 6:30? Will their tummy clocks adjust to a gradual - fifteen minutes for each of four days - shift in feeding patterns?

I do not remember reading that a benefit of the abolishment of daylight savings time would save dog owners from the existential crisis.

Pope Francis died on Monday at 88. His papacy promoted inclusivity, embracing survivors of sexual abuse by clergy members; LGBTQ Catholics; Muslim and Orthodox clerics; and leaders of developing nations, where he believed the church’s future was rooted.

A bunch of grapes connected to look like a balloon dog, and a bunch of chocolate mini cups arranged to look like a smaller dog.

Away from the dogs at home, so I begin to see them everywhere.

I bet you got up this morning and said to yourself, man, you know what BlueSky needs? Some red bellied woodpeckers.

Well, you're in luck. Because I got some. Dad, mom, and junior, got the whole family this morning.

Close-up of pixie cup lichen.

Colony of pixie cup lichens along a waterway.

Another set of roadside lichen. This is Cladonia kurokawae (ヒメジョウゴゴケ), a common species. The Japanese name means “princess cup” denoting daintiness and grace, but they are incredibly robust, growing through mud and roadside garbage. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano. #Lichen 🌿

Marine biology fact for the day:

Manatees regulate their buoyancy by flatulence: they fart to sink.

This works for humans too. You just have to fart a lot. Like…a LOT.

Beauty knows no boundaries. The tree, adorned with stunning white and red petals, thrived in a secluded corner behind the park's public restroom. Few would expect such a magnificent tree to grow in such an overlooked place.

A black wasp with large eyes and warm brown front legs, It is standing on the stalk of a plant.

Was out with my fisheye kit so didn't get a clean "yearbook photo" of this wasp, but it's one I haven't seen before. It is a parasitoid pincer wasp - they get their name from how they pinch hosts while laying eggs in them. Yes, nature can be tough.

🧪 Luuq, in Somalia, has one of the most spectacular geological settings of any town. Home to ~40000 people, it sits inside a meander loop of the Webi Jubba River, with only an ~100m wide ‘land bridge’ to go in/out.
