Did you know that there are 21 types of bumblebee found on the Island? Thanks to @darastanley.bsky.social for today’s Irish bumblebee identification workshop; it was informative and fun.

Many thanks to all of the presenters supporting @ucddublin.bsky.social Biodiversity Week.

Dewdrops as botanical teeth gems. To be partners in crime like these two.

(Summer photos come from my wanderings and not just UCD.)

They went to the open viewing but found the place too small for their liking.

Everything (and everyone) warrants a closer look; there is often something surprisingly wondrous hidden within.

This piece changes throughout the day; the sun’s movement shifts where shadows fall. I like how the living and inanimate parallel each other as they stretch towards the sky. Minoru Niizuma, Untitled, outside of Newman.

After months of solitary sightings, it made my heart happy to see these two.

Face up to soak in those rays. Like ‘Wisdom’ by Daniel DeChenu outside the Quinn School, I am enjoying the sun’s return.

Green is so commonplace in nature that it’s easy to overlook how vibrant it can be. Fall colors remind me.

That art is integral to the school makes me so happy to be at UCD.

Kudos to the groundskeepers at UCD. Their lush landscape is a beautiful backdrop for learning/teaching/working.

Hidden away in a place for quiet contemplation.

UCD is pretty easy on the eyes.
