Mostly photography here. Pro-people, community, and social justice. I love nature, I love learning, and I love sharing. Diversity only has meaning when we are all equal, all free. I much prefer umbrellas to flags and hate fascism and all its mutations.

I am very fond of it! The fact you could see this hooked me to macro!

I don't normally post sequences, but this #crow manoeuvring a stick is among my favourite examples of nest building - crow style!

I don't know. He was on a beach, so while it might be sand, it was the bins that attracted them

I love that these guys are grey wagtails, even though they are yellow. I hate that in recent years they have become scarce...

A blue tit busy collecting the lining for its nest. I could watch them do this all day!

Of all the sights, I find the most awesome is the yearly migration of whopper swans. They come to Ireland around October and start to leave in March.

If you ever happen upon the #boyne #estuary on the #baltray side you will see a fair few of these structures. Tradition is you add your stone to one and make a wish. If the cairn falls, you start again..

While I would welcome that the people of #Iran might topple the #Khamenei regime. The reality is #worldpeace and #international #security would be much better served if the #Americans and #Isrealis toppled theirs. #freedom from #tyranny = #nokings #nopriests #NoTrump #NoNetanyahu Rise up for peace

We have a while yet where I live before they return, but I am counting down the days!

Absolutely brilliant! I will now have to visit our local disused quarry and go a frog hunting!
