For anyone curious about me, this is my current big plant project.

It's an 18x18x24 ExoTerra tropical terrarium (vivarium) for my ferns and micro-orchids, started in November 2022.

A few of my Dad's photos from Iran, mid 1970s. I guess these are almost old enough to count as history. Scans from 35 mm slides

First one: Qashqai nomads along the road between Ahvaz and Shiraz, spring 1978. 1/10

I wont tell my brother how many hours I'm putting into making this queen sized crochet blanket for him, but I will tell him that if we ever have a major falling out, I WILL repossess it from him.

Checked on #kakapo Hine Taumai's nest yesterday, and surprised to find her sunbathing on her nest! Some nests are very open to the elements, so we often add waterproofing to ensure the chicks don't get too wet.

I've learned how to crochet while watching kdramas and reading subtitles. Lol.

Just realized that soon I'll be able to make my own custom shadowboxes to display some vintage Czech rhinestone jewelry like this piece I was just looking at on ebay.

I also have some smaller pieces from my great grandmother I'd like to frame.

My Pleurothallis dressleri micro orchid is flowering from a new spot, but I thought this was an interesting comparison of flower to leaf size ratio.

The flower is almost double the size of one of it's leaves, which have a very interesting 'watermelon' coloring.

Just some interesting bits from the large terrarium. The close ups of the ferns and mosses and micro orchids are always so interesting. I like seeing how they grow in together.

Genuinely fascinated by the current heartthrob actors in the style of Jeremy Allen White and Hudson Williams.

When it warms up, I need to try the moss mix from FrogDaddy.

I like how many species it supposedly has, including plants.

I'm always looking to introduce more moss, liverwort, plant, etc species to my terrariums and these kind of mixes work well for a natural look.

Looking at early 1900's catalogs is so entertaining. Bless the people who digitize them.

Was looking at a woodworking catalog from 1914 and honestly learned a lot from it.

A little terrarium in a glass jar that I keep on my desk at work.

The main plant is a little Sinningia 'Wood Nymph' I got in 2023 and nearly killed. It's bouncing back though and I might take cuttings from soon.

There's also a nice patch of leafy liverwort in there that I really like.

Spotted another Slime Mould under a low tree branch (happily not surrounded by brambles).

This is my favourite portrait of the moss Bryum capillare, Capillary Thread Moss, on an ancient fallen trunk of Sambucus nigra, Common Elder. The development of corky bark is common with age, but this is a particularly splendid example.

My new 78 woodworking rebate plane. Tried it out today and it works so well. I'm a little giddy.

One step closer to making my own picture frames.
