Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all
a stray dog stands in a bushy area. the dog is blue with golden eyes. he looks majestic as he stares off into the distance. a group of 4 dogs rest together in a bushy area. two of the dogs are tan, one is black, and the last is blue with long, scruffy fur. a blue dog is mid-step as he walks through brush.

Airborne laser scanning reveals stone walls stretching several kilometers across Europe's Karst Plateau, on the border between Slovenia and Italy, likely built over 4,000 years ago to herd and corral red deer—a legacy of coordinated hunting. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/urYx50Xir5z

Jane Goodall has passed… What a big loss for the conservation of nature, and awareness of respect and love for animals. Very sad news.

Great shots! I set up a hummingbird feeder and fountain station on my back deck and I try to get some pics when I can. This little guy was having a blast in the fountain on a hot day. #photography #hummingbirds #BirdOfTheDay #PNW

Empezando este maravilloso libro de @lahistorieta.bsky.social con el genio Bowie. He terminado el capítulo con Modern Love (la idea del QR es 👌🏼), en una coordinación perfecta entre lo que estaba leyendo y la música. Enhorabuena. Deseando seguir.

I can’t believe I caught this 🦋

Just before noon, I figured I better check again… the hangar bay was opening!

Little out of focus for a few seconds, but I got the focus back- apologies- I was so excited & shooting w/ the sun on my viewer.

The first week of excavations and stratigraphic documentation at Dalarik-1 Cave was very successful! The trip to Kalavan village - and the homonymous Palaeolithic sites - was the best treat for a day-off! A stop at Gutanasar volcano was a must! @humendylab.bsky.social #TransCause
