Short walk around the Schnurrviertel in Minden, Germany- these colorful gates had a cat ramp, dog window, and chickens in the small yard behind. Also loved the leaning half timber structures.

Loving these short form videos about Scotland by @cridhe.bsky.social! Such a lovely intersection of ecology, history, geology, and culture!

Just made orange and clove pomanders like we did growing up- I always found them odd but loved the scent! Turns out pomanders date back to the Middle Ages, used to ward off pestilence or simply as portable perfume. They were usually a ball shaped metal cage holding aromatics.

When botanist Richard Deakin examined Rome’s Colosseum in the 1850s, he found 420 species of plant growing in the ruins: cypresses and ilex, pea plants and more than 50 types of grasses.

But some flowers growing there mystified him. They were so rare they were found nowhere else in Europe.

Jesse Gwinn, the NOAA Ocean Exploration Internship Coordinator, recently crocheted a bathymetry blanket- such a great way to represent data from their voyage!

Sharing my husband’s new portfolio site- I like the sidebar annotation layout and easter eggs he’s added so far!

My parents spotted monarch caterpillars in their yard! They’ve been stopping by the milkweed plant each day to make sure nothing has disturbed them.

Last night, I watched 'The Frozen North' episode of the new BBC Nature Asia series and was amazed how baby Baikal seals can survive under ice thanks to their mothers blowing air bubbles. Reminded me of the scene in Sanctum where the diver breathes air off the cave walls. youtu.be/auQ9VsXp9Ho?...

I noticed there wasn't a feed related to landscape architecture, so I set one up- will continue to adjust the filters as needed to ensure it is capturing most content related to the topic.

Recently stumbled across a blog post by @pketh.org about a tool called PlantStudio. It’s like an early version of SpeedTree, focused on visualizing vegetation! Super impressed by the detailed parameters- such a cool intersection of landscape design/botany and computation.

A golden autumn afternoon last November at the Sligachan Bridge on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
