My edelweiss are starting to bloom for the first time!
I started these from seed three years ago, unsure how they'd fare here in northern IL. My mom would be proud (she's Austrian). 🌱

Heartbreaking update: CPW killed a yearling from the Copper Creek Pack after recent livestock attacks. This family has endured so much already — relocation, loss, and now this.
Killing wolves doesn’t prevent conflicts. Coexistence, not cruelty, is the way forward.

I've sat on this Bench many times. It's just outside of Pateley Bridge and has wonderful views over Nidderdale. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful ❤️

“When gentle Echo would have him beguiled,
He on his own face smiled;
And when of beauty he had drunk his fill,
He slipt into the stream, and changed to daffodil.” - from the ‘The First Daffodil’, the legend of Narcissus told in verse by Lizzie Deas (1895). #FolkloreThursday

I came across this gorgeous pink Magnolia in the grounds of Ascott House in Buckinghamshire today. Isn’t it fabulous? So lovely to hear all the birds singing in the background too. #DailyBotanicalBeauty #spring

First time joining in #BirdWhisperer challenge which is to paint & post a Brown-headed Cowbird today 🪶 I haven't seen this bird before so looked at stock photos before realising that I should have used the one given! 🤦♀️ Decided to share it anyway

One for #MacroMonday a lovely Ramalina lichen. I find Lichen fascinating, even a species that is common can appear different in its form on close inspection, like this one tall structure on the left which had an unusual heart shaped end! 💚 Happy Monday! 🕊️ 📷 🌿

Good morning. As it's #WaderWednesday here's a beautiful Ringed Plover from last September. An absolutely delightful little wading bird! Photo is heavily cropped so is a bit grainy!🤍
Wishing everyone the best day possible 🕊️
