Quiet Wings

A Cedar Waxwing with a warm brown and yellow body, brownish-gray wings and tail with a yellow tip, a black mask around its eyes and a crest on its head. It was eating an orange dragonfly it had just caught and was sitting on a reddish-brown branch surrounded by green leaves lit up by the early morning sunlight. Seen in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

A pretty Cedar Waxwing with a beak stuffed with the wings and body of a dragonfly it had caught and was gulping down for breakfast 😮😋

Reporter: "What has Trump learned that tells him that Putin would be willing to make a deal?"

Leavitt: "The president has learned a lot...He has always said in order to get a good deal, both sides are going to have to walk away a little bit unhappy."

Delicate purple Anemones bloom in early spring, found above 2500m in the alpine meadows of Urumqi's South Mountain. Their ethereal beauty adds a touch of magic to the highland landscape.

upon these incredible bonsai masterpieces at the 2025 Osaka Expo. Each one feels like a living sculpture, shaped by time, patience, and art. Nature in its miniature form is simply breathtaking.

BREAKING: The Smithsonian museum is putting Trump’s two impeachments back in its presidential history exhibit after quietly removing them under pressure from the White House.

Captured these during the trip to Lijiang. Snowy peaks, colorful wildflowers, and clear blue skies every corner feels like a painting. So glad I brought my camera. 🌸

A tray of a dozen baked scones studded with blackberries and orange peel. Triangular in shape, with golden, sugar-sprinkled tops.

A knife and cutting board with diced candied orange peel. I made this last winter. It’s sweet and just bitter enough to add depth to the scones.

Scone of the Day: Blackberry and my own candied orange peel. These are richer than my everyday recipe, with more butter and Greek yogurt as well as the buttermilk. So tasty!

Important to spend several minutes each day asking your dog how he got so handsome.

“For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Done with The Dispossessed. I think that Le Guin might have been a generational writer

A white and gray lop-eared bunny gazes at the camera near a bowl of water, surrounded by hay.

Me and @bennyboyo.bsky.social have been for a stroll and I think we look like the legendary Fred & Posy @fredandposy.bsky.social with our colours
