If you don’t already I would highly recommend following Rain for some extraordinary images.
Some flowers fluoresce under ultraviolet light. One of my favorite is Borage, a lovely, fragrant herb. Even its little hairs (trichomes) glow.

In other news, it's wonderful to see the BSKY art & photography community growing so rapidly. I'm glad you're here.

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."

Read that again: **116** times.

Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??

We woke to a sharp frost this morning. Still traces when I went for a walk this afternoon.

Absolute fury at this: United Utilities refusing to disclose data about sewage it's releasing into Windermere, because it's "not in the public interest."

Ditto data on ammonia checks from a UU Cunsey Beck plant; site of a 2022 mass fish-kill from pollution.
