A not at all suspicious looking Grey Heron in the London Zoo Penguin biome.

"Undercover Boss" (2010- )

#BirdOfTheDay #ShadesOfGrey #StunDay #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision #EastCoastKin #ZSL #Photography
A grey heron with its neck tucked down tightly struts through the sand and round stones of the London Zoo Penguin enclosure. It may be able to hide its neck, but the long legs are a bit of a give away that it is not, in fact, a penguin.

‘Let it be said that I was late
to start, much later ‘popping’,
almost last to fall in love.
Let it be said that I made up
for years so carelessly mislaid,
that I was late to grow into
my wrinkles’
Kathy Gee. Full poem in alt

Let it be said that I was late to start, much later ‘popping’, almost last to fall in love. Let it be said that I made up for years so carelessly mislaid, that I was late to grow into my wrinkles, late when, in my fifties, I fell hot and bothered into lust, but left it far too late. I am a late developer. That ought to be ‘I was’, of course, but I am slow to take on board this dying thing. I hope it’s not too late to learn that I was loved.

I won't be around much tomorrow as I'll be travelling, I'll leave you with this for today's #BirdoftheDay on the theme #ShadesofGrey

Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), our garden in #EastAnglia, UK. February 2024

#Birds #UKBirds #Nature #Eco-Gardening #Photography #EastCoastKin
A nuthatch on our bird table. It holds a sunflower seed in it's beak and is just about to fly off. The nuthatch is blue-grey on top and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill and short legs.

A pair of pour paintings from about 5 years ago. A dear friend has them now. I ended up calling them Kindred A & B, because — much like the two of us — despite being wildly different they somehow still flow together. <3

#BlueSkyArtShow #Bright #SensoryArt #Loud #ArtYear #SatArtDay #Acrylic #Paint
A pair of acrylic pour paintings on canvas side by side. They are 10" x 14" each if I'm remembering correctly. The painting on the left is largely monochromatic tones of blue with a few hints of green peeking through in some spots. In contrast, the painting on the right is very colourful. There are several dominant sections of purple and pink tones, and a few smaller segments which echo the blues of the painting on the left. Accents of yellow which are florescent in places, and splashes of metallic copper and gold are scattered throughout. Although they were not poured side by side, there are a few spots in the center where the paintings touch that the shapes of the pour appear to flow into each other and across the two canvases. These were gifted to a dear friend with whom I had a running joke about the most adventurous colour choice she ever made with her wardrobe was a bit of blue. On the other hand, rarely have I encountered a colour or pattern I didn't want to at least try out.

A queen alighting
On a kindred leaf.
A carpet fit
For a Monarch.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Bright #ColorADay #GreenSat #ImageAndVerse #ArtYear #SatArtDay #EastCoastKin #Toronto #Photography #UrbanWildlife
A photograph of a brilliant orange monarch butterfly resting on a red osier dogwood bush. While almost all of the leaves are green, the butterfly has landed on one of the only red leaves. White berries in the top left and bottom right of the frame are characteristic of this bush. The thinner stems of the plant are a flashy red tone and tend to stay this way throughout the winter months long after the leaves have fallen and the monarchs have migrated south.

Time slows
my walk.
Autumn leaves
Melancholy they
fall russet.
Colours drained.
Slow fall
Whence they sway.
Vibrant green
gracefully boughed
A musical score.
Life’s embrace.
Tempo slowed
Upon chill air
Leafless limbed
A final winter
Inevitable.
I feel her
calling for me

For my mate Rob’s theme. I asked him to shimmy towards the berries and he did. Received so many nuts, he’s probably still eating two days later. Have a wonderful weekend my friends and remember to smile. 😊 We’re all still here. Off to walk Sam #HolidayRobin #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A small robin with a bright orange breast and pale grey belly perches on a slender branch. A vivid red berry behind its beak, surrounded by glossy dark-green leaves that fill the background. The bird faces slightly to the right, its tiny claws gripping the branch as it stands alert in the soft natural light.

Here's a #bright scene from the Orlando wetlands for the #BlueSkyArtShow today. Loved how the reeds framed this black bird.

#photography #birds #nature #wetlands
A single black bird sits on a reed that runs diagonally from lower left to upper right. The bird is framed by other reeds in the foreground. Background is light blue and green and the entire frame is very bright.

Bright light and bokeh
A very close up photo of green grass full of droplets of morning dew. The grass and dew are all blurry with bright sunlight shining through, creating a hazy bokeh effect with the droplets large and abstract

Blindingly #bright sunshine even in #BNW. Taken this summer on Bowen Island.

"3rd Rock from the Sun" (1996-2001)

An angled photograph taken from the base of characteristic very tall Pacific North evergreen trees. The ground is rocky and drops off into the nearby waters of Howe Sound. The water and a small light house is faintly visible in the distance. Between the trees, a blindingly bright sun beams through and renders the trees largely in silhouette.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Mini-me 2.0 has discovered he very much likes "The View" (1997- ) from his window this week.

#WindowsOnWednesday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision #ColorADay #RedWed #Urban #Motherhood #Photography #EastCoastKin #ArtYear
A toddler in classic red tartan little old man PJs stares out a window. The view is dominated by a maple tree with yellowing leaves on the left. Other trees in line of sight are still rather green despite the snow covered boughs, fences, and roofs. Neighbouring houses and buildings peek through the branches.

In the last 40 minutes my washing machine has been 23, 15, 20, 16, and 7 minutes from "complete" and still going.

At this point, it better spit out numbers that unlock a secret Lost finale that no one bitches about ever again.

"Blood swept lands & seas of red,
Where angels dare to tread.
As I put my hand to reach,
As God cried a tear of pain as the angels fell,
Again & again.

...

I put my hand up & see the land of red,
This is my time to go over,
I may not come back
So sleep, kiss the boys for me."

A photograph of the wall and most of The Tower of London. The grassy expanse of the moat is filled with thousands of ceramic poppies. "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" by ceramicist Paul Cummins and stage designer Tom Piper. Installed at The Tower of London in 2014, the moat was filled with 888,246 individually crafted ceramic poppies — one for each British and Colonial service member fatality in WW1. The title of the installation was taken from the first line of a poem found within the will of an unknown soldier. More info about the project is on Paul Cummins' website: https://www.paulcumminsceramics.com/blood-swept/ This NPR article is also excellent: https://www.npr.org/2014/08/16/340649115/a-sea-of-ceramic-poppies-honors-britains-wwi-dead "The blood swept lands and seas of red, Where angels dare to tread. As I put my hand to reach, As God cried a tear of pain as the angels fell, Again and again. As the tears of mine fell to the ground To sleep with the flowers of red As any be dead My children see and work through fields of my Own with corn and wheat, Blessed by love so far from pain of my resting Fields so far from my love. It be time to put my hand up and end this pain Of living hell, to see the people around me Fall someone angel as the mist falls around And the rain so thick with black thunder I hear Over the clouds, to sleep forever and kiss The flower of my people gone before time To sleep and cry no more I put my hand up and see the land of red, This is my time to go over, I may not come back So sleep, kiss the boys for me." #Trenches #Remembrance #WWI #Poetry #Photography #Scape

I think if trees could have ADHD they'd look like a good chunk of Toronto's trees did today: freaking the fuck out and desperately trying to drop all their leaves in one go because they misplaced their Winter is Coming memo.

A tree with yellow leaves in front of a grey building on The U of T St George campus. The lawn and shrubs are covered in snow. The white snow is being overtaken by yellow leaves dropping rapidly from the tree.

Did some floral arranging this week for the first time in ages. My bit for an autumn themed teacher appreciation breakfast at my son's school.

#Scape #BloomScrolling #Autumn #Fall #FloralFriday #FlowersOnFriday
A floral bouquet in warm tones is arranged in a hollowed out pumpkin. It's sitting on a white tablecloth. The arrangement is a little bit of a neighbourhood snapshot plus a dose of teamwork. Pumpkin from the local fruit and veggie market/convenience store; roses and chrysanthemums from the new florist that replaced the cheese shop; hydrangeas, curly willow branches, and Japanese maple from my yard. Cheated a bit with some sunflowers from Costco. Picture taken by @mat416.bsky.social when he so kindly delivered them to the school at 7am. Edits by me since the staff room lighting is hella unflattering.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”
