A gorgeous little Marsh Tit looking straight at the camera. These lil cuties are currently red listed in the UK and need our help to recover their numbers. Creating more wildlife corridors will help them tremendously!

Several bunches of waxy shrooms all living on a moss covered fallen tree. They're a tight bunch, nestled among the pine needles, and knowing that we're better together

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

The post shows a tweet from journalist Taylor Lorenz responding to a tweet by David Moscrop. Moscrop mentions getting his annual flu and COVID shots, noting it should reduce illness and transmission. Lorenz replies, emphasizing that current COVID vaccines do not significantly prevent infection or transmission, warning that some vaccinated people may take more risks believing they’re fully protected. She adds that vaccines help prevent severe outcomes and death, but urges people to wear masks to stop infecting others.

Exactly this β€” vaccines help prevent hospitalisation and death, but they don’t stop infection or transmission. That’s why masking is still so important. 😷

Those who know me realise I have a way of finding humour in the most ridiculous scenarios. Smiling to myself. Bluesky interactions are like driving through a familiar street, at times.Waving at friends from different time zones,sending greetings,sharing moments.Thank you..for the smiles in my day.🀍

"Three Marbled Godwits (Limosa fedoa) stand in tranquil, shallow water, each balanced delicately on one legβ€”a posture common among shorebirds to conserve body heat. Their long, slightly upturned bills are striking, especially the bird in the foreground whose bill glows pink with a black tip, like a ceremonial wand dipped in ink.

Their plumage is a mottled tapestry of warm browns, tans, and subtle grays, blending seamlessly with the watery landscape. The feathers ripple with texture, echoing the marbled patterns of driftwood or windswept sand. Each bird faces a slightly different direction, creating a quiet choreography of stillness and alertness.

The water is calm, almost mirror-like, with faint ripples around their legs. Lightβ€”likely midday sunβ€”casts a soft glow across the scene, illuminating the birds’ contours and feather detail without harsh shadows. The setting feels coastal, open, and serene, as if time has slowed to honor their presence.

There’s a quiet dignity in their stance, a sovereign stillness that suggests both rest and readiness. They appear as sentinels of the shallows, mythic messengers in mottled cloaks, each poised between motion and meditation." - Microsoft Copilot

Marbled Silence

I saw these Marbled Godwits (Limosa fedoa) on the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi. They stood quietly in the shallows, each balanced on one leg, looking as if they were asleepβ€”wrapped in a kind of coastal stillness. I’d been reading about their ...

For anyone saying that the ICE agents are just doing their jobs, so were the German soldiers loading Jewish people onto trains.

A grey heron stands gracefully on a wooden rail, its long yellow-orange beak pointed slightly forward and its bright yellow eye alert. The bird’s plumage shows fine layers of soft grey and white feathers with black streaks along its neck and shoulders. Its long, thin legs and large feet balance delicately on the rail, with a softly blurred background of pale water and faint greenery.
