Excited to have hit 1 year on Lingvano. I am still very new because I only do the monthly subscription when I feel confident in what I have learned before adding more vocabulary. Just need a practice buddy to really start cementing the learning. #asllearning #Lingvano #signlanguagelearner
A mobile app screen shows an award badge featuring a hand holding a flame inside a red circle. Below it, text reads “Level 8 – Streak Guardian.” The message says: “You reached Level 8 of this award by keeping your streak for 365 days.” Icons of flames appear under the days Friday through Wednesday, with Thursday shown as an empty circle. Two orange buttons at the bottom read “Continue” and “Share your streak.”

#Diatoms by @SabrinaCulyba is stunning! I loved it table presence since the first time I played it. I also love the history and the mix of art and science of this game! Diatoms, if you don’t know is a Victorian-Era Art form using algae slides! How freaking cool! #Boardgames #Tabletopgames
A board game box for Diatoms: A Game of Microscopic Proportions. The dark purple cover features intricate, symmetrical designs of colorful geometric shapes inspired by microscopic diatoms. The title “DIATOMS” is printed in large ornate letters, with shimmering holographic accents. Decorative motifs include triangles, circles, and star-like forms, along with small microscopes in the lower corners. A tabletop setup of the board game Diatoms. The game board displays a circular pattern filled with colorful, microscopic-style tile pieces shaped like stars, triangles, and ovals. The game box stands in the background, glowing with holographic designs. A person’s hand reaches toward the board, and a small dog is partially visible resting on a blanket in the background.

My wife has been obsessing over these little lithops plants and she was so excited last week when she noticed one was putting up a flower. Last night we came home to see the flower had finally opened. #plantparents #desertplant #flowers #indoorplants #Lithops #succulent

#Inktober2025 day 5 Morel. A quick little sketch tonight but happy to have made it 5 days in!
Black ink drawing of a morel mushroom with a tall, ridged stem and a honeycombed, textured cap. The mushroom stands among small, gently mounded hills sketched with short horizontal lines for shading. A black background poster with the heading “INKTOBER with Joyouart” written in large white block letters at the top. Small orange and white diamond sparkles decorate the background. Below the heading is a numbered list of 31 prompt words, arranged in two columns: Fly Cap Angel Panther Morel Autumn Deadly Wings Funnel Brown Jack-o’-Lantern Sickener Fool Shaggy Tuft Inky Parrot Bitter Speckled Elf Scarlet Saturn Bonnet Purple Bleeding Ghost Verdigris Parasol Yellow Rosy Butter At the bottom are the text handles and hashtags: “@joyouart #witchtober #inktober.”

Had a hot date today with my wife at the #RoyalTyrrellMuseum today and finally got to check out their newest exhibit and it did not disappoint, this is (I think) the first time they have any mention or display of feathered dinosaurs! I would highly recommend checking it out! #dinos #badlands #Lgbtq
A museum display of a small dinosaur skeleton curled inside a reconstructed egg. The skeleton, dark brown against a pale white egg, is labeled “Model of hadrosaur embryo in egg.” The plaque notes that the model includes original fossils of the skull, vertebrae, and limbs, while the ribs are casts. The display sits on a white pedestal against a pink wall. A brown fossilized leaf preserved in a piece of grey rock. The leaf shows detailed veins and a jagged edge, lying flat against the stone. The rock rests on a textured white surface inside a wooden display case.

Day 2 for #Inktober2025 I decided to do a black ink cap mushroom just a little quick one. Tomorrow is going to be a challenge 😬🍄‍🟫
Black ink drawing of a mushroom with a tall, textured stem and a wide cap. The cap has shading lines and small speckles, with dark ink dripping from its edges like melting liquid.

A small collage of the top visitors to our back hard this 2025 season! 🪹 #Birding #backyardbirds #albertaBirds #Bird #AtTheBirdBath #Birds #Birdphotography #Summer2025
This collage features 11 backyard bird photographs, each showing a different species perched at feeders, in trees, or at water. Top row (left to right): An Evening Grosbeak, a stocky bird with a thick bill, bright yellow eyebrow stripe, and brown wings, clings to a green seed feeder. A vivid Baltimore Oriole, with bright orange underparts and black head and wings, perches on an orange jelly feeder. A striking Rose-breasted Grosbeak, black and white with a bold red chest patch, sits on a curved black pole. Second row (left to right): 4. An Eastern Kingbird, gray above and white below with a dark head, perches on a spruce branch. 5. A White-crowned Sparrow, gray-bodied with a bold black-and-white striped head, stands on a rock near purple lilac blossoms. 6. A Common Grackle, glossy black with iridescent blue and purple head feathers, perches among green leaves. Third row (left to right): 7. An American Goldfinch, bright yellow with black wings, feeds on the center of a sunflower. 8. A Brown Thrasher, with streaky brown plumage and a long tail, splashes in water, feathers puffed and wet. Bottom row (left to right): 9. A small Hummingbird, dark with metallic sheen, drinks from the yellow port of a red feeder. 10. An American Robin, gray-backed with orange underparts, sits wet in a birdbath with feathers sticking up. 11. A streaky brown finch-like bird, likely a Pine Siskin, perches at the edge of a birdbath, facing away.
