Elegant Orange Sunburst Lichen, Rusavskia elegans. NWT, Canada.
#lichen #fungi #fungifriends
Photo of a round, orange lichen growing flat on light grey rock. The lichen is comprised of tightly packed, branching arms all radiating out from the centre. The lichen is covered in numerous small, round, orange discs - the apothecia.

This year we will be eating from the forest as much as we can, cos the food in the shops is too expensive and full of CO2 emissions, bad karma and chemicals. Love the land, eat the forest.
Fresh red potatoes, golden green apples and a glass of fresh apple juice swirl around a bowl of frozen berries and currants, with a mane of colourful fennel, rocket, kale, cabbage and leek leaves.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Beer can, pinhole camera photos of the Summer to Winter Solstice (2024) and the Winter to Summer Solstice (2025).

You never know quite what you're going to get with these photos, set the beer can pointing towards the sun at hopefully the correct angle and wait 6 months!
A pinhole camera photo taken from Summer to Winter Solstice. It's a bit blurry as the aperture was made with a tiny needle and no focus mechanism. There are yellow to green lines across the photo, that's the Sun moving across the sky over the course of a day. The top line is from the Summer Solstice, the bottom line from the Winter Solstice. Cloudy days don't have any lines or broken lines as the Sun was obscured by clouds. There are some trees on the left, right and in the background. A pinhole camera photo, a 6 month exposure from Summer to Winter solstice. There are trees on the right side and background. A house with two cars in the drive are visible almost in the center of the photo. The lines are made from the Sun moving across the sky with the bottom line being the Winter Solstice and the top line the Summer solstice. On cloudy days the lines are broken or not visible as the sun was obscured by clouds. The lines show some reflections from a tree trunk. The lines are mostly a white color with some hints of blue, green and yellow in places. Some of the colors could be from rain or snow staining the paper I was using. A solargram/pinhold camera photo taken from the Winter Solstice of 2024 (21 Dec) to Summer Solstice of 2025 (20 June). It's a 6 month long exposure taken with a beer can pinhole camera, it shows the sun's movement across the sky during that time period, each day the Sun scribes a line on the paper in the pinhole camera. The bottom line is Dec 21 2024 and the top line is 20 June 2025. This kind of photo makes the movement of the Sun during the day into visible trails on the paper in the camera. There is a long orange-yellow arc going across the paper showing the whole 6 months. There is a shadow of my tree on the image, the tree blossomed during the exposure. Shades of blue and pink are on the paper too. There is a black kind of semi circle at the top of the image, that's where the water was disintegrating the top part of the paper.

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition shows the diversity of shapes and colors, behaviours and interactions that only #Nature can offer. Many very young photographers! Among my favorites this soft #coral photographed from within...

Humpback whales working together to corral fish in a spiral net of bubbles, using vocal signals to coordinate. This amazing behavior is learned, not instinctual; not all humpback pods know how to bubble net feed.☺️😎💙

Elegant orange sunburst #lichen, Rusavskia elegans. This photo was taken at around -40C/F…amazing how they thrive in pretty extreme environments. Northwest Territories, Canada. #fungi #fungifriends.
A very round, orange, crustose lichen is growing flat on light coloured rock. The centre is filled with small round, orange discs…the apothecia.

Work has been so difficult to find this year, I have resorted to cat portraits.

Scientists long thought the plant cell wall to be dead, but it's an active, even chatty participant in cellular growth, reproduction and responses to infection

Plants have a secret language that scientists are only now starting to decipher
Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular cross talk help in creating better crops?

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Painting showing a corner of a limestone building with tall arched windows drenched in bright green light that seems to come from sunlight through the leaves of slender trees or vines. These trees’ foliage creates a ceiling over the path that forms the foreground of the painting. The ground is painted in lavender dotted with pale golden color indicating the light through the leaves.
