I’m so grateful for all the beautiful, informative, and inspiring posts I find here. I came for the politics, but the art, nature, and cute animals make the tough stuff a lot easier to take. 🪷🌷🦋🎭🎨🐈🐘🐶💙💙💙

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

This Postman butterfly paused on the Lantana just long enough to catch the red band and white patches in a quiet moment at the Butterfly Pavilion.
If you enjoy new perspectives, stick around for more.

This lovely peach daylily blooms for weeks every spring in my garden. The anthers remind me of a bunch of meerkats - standing up, looking around - while they wait for a friendly set of wings to dust them off and deliver their pollen to nearby blooms.

2558 years ago, on the 23rd of November 534 BCE, the poet Thespis of Icaria was the first to speak as a character in a play instead of as himself, according to Ancient Greek sources and Aristotle as well. He is called the Inventory of Tragedy and is the origin of the word 'thespian'. #otd #history 🗃️

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition.
