I've fallen in love with cedar gladecress (Leavenworthia stylosa), so I wanted to do an illustration using it I added one of my favorite native reptiles, the ring necked snake (Diadophis punctatus). #reptiles #nativeplants #sciart #snakes #flowers

One must leave main roads to reach Avery Island. There are a couple of reasons to do so: the Tabasco factory/museum, and the vast bird sanctuary begun about 1895 to protect egrets and other species. (Acrylic, 11"x14"x1.5" on wood panel). #acrylicpainting #averyisland #tabasco #bird #paintlouisiana

Federal government agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, including clean energy, climate crisis, climate science, environmental quality, and pollution.

These words literally refer to the quality of our life support system on Earth.
The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump (Gift Article)
Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

OK I know it's a tall order this week but today IS Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday for all who celebrate. Arguing inside your head tires you out & reaches no one else--all the arguers are just you! If you catch yrself doing it, gently but firmly stop yrself & restart the clock

Dear everyone with normal climates, how long do rubber bands last where you live?

All of these I collected recently, plus the ones binding rolls of paper patterns I had larger-format printed in the last year are like dried pasta. They shatter.

The smallest bird other than a hummingbird that I have been able to photograph at least somewhat clearly. On average <5.5 inches long & <8.5 grams, the Brown Creeper is easy to miss as it darts up and down trees - though an absolute delight to see one and hear its song. 🪶 #birds #nature #photography

I love the moss covered trees down in the old abandoned vineyard. Once upon a time they would have acted as supports to the long vines strung between them.

Imagine being up to 24 metres long and still being called pygmy.
Life as a pygmy blue whale, small only by whale standards. Even the biggest beings rely on the smallest choices we make.
