an american robin flying directly at the camera with wings up and foot still on a thin branch. the tree they are leaving is cover in small red hanging berries that they had just been snacking on

Spotted this little cutie while sitting on the deck enjoying the gentle rain yesterday.

Looking down through bamboo and honeysuckle to a hummingbird sitting on her teeny tiny nest.

A few blooms from a damp woodland walk. All the yellows - wild daffodils, primroses, opposite-leaved golden saxifrage (I think!) and a splash of violet.

#WildflowerHour #BloomScrolling

Photo of a clump of wild daffodils growing on a riverbank in ancient woodland. The flowers have a bright yellow trumpet-shaped tube surrounded by paler yellow petals. They have long thin green leaves. The riverbank is damp, mossy and leafy. It’s raining creating ripples on the surface of the river, which is also fast-flowing. A fallen tree lies across it in the background.

Photo of a clump of primroses - five pale yellow petals with a bright egg-yolk yellow centre. The plants are growing in a woodland, the damp earth littered with brown fallen leaves and plant stems.

Photo of a mat of opposite-leaved golden saxifrage - paired, rounded, green leaves with small, golden flowers set among them. The flowers lack petals but are surrounded by golden sepals.
The plant is growing in damp woodland and is also wet from rain. Fronds of moss and other green leaves are growing up through it.

Photo of common dog-violet flowers, that confusingly appear to grow from wrinkled, oval primrose leaves. The violet’s leaves are behind, delicate and heart-shaped. The plants are growing on damp, earthy woodland floor amongst brown leaf-litter.

Every robin that ever existed is in Trinity-Bellwoods chirping its head off right now

Philostratus keeps on giving:

A huge part of the book is about Palamedes, the Greek hero who got himself completely written out of the Iliad.
For dissing Odysseus too much.

No wonder Odysseus was pissed, there are some great one-liners in there :D

Oh, and the guy invented writing, numbers, and dice. In case you needed a #pagan patron of #DnD players.

The Old Man of Storr, a 55-meter-high basalt pinnacle, on a sunny day with a few clouds, looking out to sea over an island and then beyond to shores and mountains.
A small group of hikers can be seen at the bottom of the photo, giving a better idea of the scale.

A brown and white sign is attached to a fencepost. It reads, "wildlife area keep out," in all caps. Behind the fence are blurry areas of land and water.

@catselbow 😂😅 Never!!

@alexhaist 😂😭💚

@catselbow It's really such a pretty little nook--always a quiet, rushing landscape of lichens and mosses in the midst of much high desert scruffiness. It's one of my primary local escapes (and regularly home to a pair of kingfishers to boot).

@catselbow I am surprised and pleased by how well the LE worked on my phone. I've always wanted to try to capture these little falls this way.

@alexhaist Porch Grapes is the slow tv I have been waiting all season for.

@alexhaist lmao

"These are the variables: what is coming, what might
come. By these we distinguish one scene of evacuation
from another. But until the cataclysm—or at least
until the drill, the dress rehearsal—we call it scenery."

I have finished my first quilt! Well, nearly! There's still a bit of hand finishing to go but since the sun might set before I have that done, I took photos now.

Here it is in situ, the only place it will fit dimensions wise. 😄 There's a bunch of things I'd do differently now that I know, but all in all a decent end result?

#Quilting #Sewing

A photo of an iron frame bed in the corner of a room with windows on each side of the corner. There is a colourful quilt blanket spread out to cover the bed and it's mountain of pillows. There is a portrait on a ledge behind the bed, as well as a green flower vase with pink flowers. All these colours are in the quilt. There's a cat loafing on the window sill and looking slightly irritated, as well as a cylindrical air purifier on a little table.

Portrait orientation photo with focus on the vase and its flowers. It has dark green and less saturated green leaves and pink and darker pink flowers. These exact same hues are in the quilt, especially the flower prints therein. The quilt is a bit crinkly.

A closer up photo with the entire frame filled by the quilt. It is mostly random, but with pieces of it aligning in a geometric little wave of squares. The colours are greens, teals, blues and reds, with a little bit of brown, earth tones and the tiniest bit of yellow. Also gray! It looks pretty nice, though it has obviously not been ironed before this photo.

A family of monkeys (langurs) lounging in a building. There’s a baby monkey latched on to one of the adults. The family is framed by the leaves and branches of nearby trees.
