Despite the horrors, water continues to cut. Rock by rock. Grain by grain. The river persists and canyon grows. In times like these, nature inspires perseverance.

I love iNaturalist, but it's always so disheartening to upload an observation of a charismatic species & get a bunch of IDs while my arthropod & plant observations languish.
I don't need 5 people confirming that yes, that is indeed an elephant. I need 1 person to tell me what this weird bug is!

the mark of a true nature enjoyer is passionately, arbitrarily disliking species, esp by having low tolerance for annoyance. for ex, if an animal is too loud or behaves in a manner I feel is stupid, it is marked for death (being the focus of anecdotes about disliking animals for the rest of my life)

It’s cold comfort right now but, if past is prologue, spectacles of violence committed by the state against sympathetic civilians—especially when captured on camera—were the beginning of the end for Bull Connor and Jim Crow, too.

This stuff is good, seriously. If you or someone you know loves skin/haircare, they'll love Marula oil too. They'll especially love it if it helps restore rainforest and save lemurs.
Improving your selfcare routines for the new year?
Every bottle of our Madagascar Marula Oil restores rainforest, saves lemurs, and enriches your skin & haircare.
We're now offering bottles for purchase!

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

We are a large nation run by little people. Microscopic even. They make me feel ashamed of my nationality.
The world, and we, deserve better.

Heinous weather here in eastern Washington, where we got wind gusts up to 102 MPH just a mile away from my home.
Still without power, but fortunately no property damage for me. Many others were not as lucky.

Hanging on for dear life
The rainforest of Ivohiboro clings to existence on the steep slopes of the mountain on which it grows. Wildfires, started in the lowlands, frequently burn upslope and scorch the forest, the results of which you can see here.

Playing around with old photos and found this curious Malagasy Paradise-Flycatcher in the unedited pile.
This one was straining the limits of RAW editing, but it's a fun one nonetheless.

There are many drawbacks to my fiancé spending a month in Pocatello, Idaho.
But I got to visit her over Thanksgiving and spotted my lifer Greater Sage-Grouse en route with the Tietons in the background!
Absolutely picture perfect bird experience

Honestly the greatest advantage anyone can have going abroad is simply /not being French/
As an American I think it’s important to tip well around the world so people will want to see us coming, and to differentiate us from the dreadful Aussies and Brits
