Clouds at the southern edge of the Alps. Very different from my lowland home; much icier and wispier, all blurry and feathery. Even had some sun dogs! Lovely round rainbowy spots in the clouds.

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.
Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

We have hedgehogs visiting the garden!! This is big. We're living in a city, our garden is tiny, and the best I can do is let it go as wild as possible and add some water stations. And it works! We've got lots of insects, birds, red squirrels, a cute mouse - and hedgehogs. So chuffed.
A hedgehog on the terrace stones in twilight. Top half of the photo shows a kind of wall thingy in bright yellow. Bottom half shows dried plant stalks and behind them, barely visible, two hedgehogs. Two!

The sky has been beautiful in the last days. Two gorgeous cumulus clouds and a rainbow!
Also, is it unusual to use the scientific names of clouds? My very smart friend was surprised when I talked abt cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds.

Fluffy cumulus cloud growing high into the sky, with a bit of a blurry ice cloud hat at the top. Road sign in front. Cumulus cloud looking over brown-ish roof, blue sky behind. Rainbow arching over kindergarten building. End of rainbow next to modern church building

Four-month-old Sunni is Ithumba's most popular baby!

His cheerful personality and mum Sities' easy-going nature make him irresistible to the dependent orphans. These interactions help young elephants hone their nurturing instincts for the future.

Some fine thunderstorm clouds from today for #blueskymonday ! It was a beautiful thunderstorm.

#cloudspotting
Blue sky covered in grey clouds. Clouds look still loose, sun almost coming through in the top right. Two bits of silhouetted trees in the bottom left and right corners. Sky dominated by different layers of grey clouds, darker below, brighter above/behind the lower level. Some blue sky still visible. Dark grey cloud at the top of the image, a layer of smooth white clouds behind and seemingly below, and below/behind that some bright blue sky. Silhouettes of trees on the bottom. Now the storm is almost there: above is a dark grey cumulus cloud in front of a paper, almost greenish cloud filling the sky. In front are bright green trees shaken by the strong winds of the incoming storm.

if being hard on yourself would work, it would have worked already. be gentle with yourself. figure out what makes it hard to do the thing and try to find ways to help yourself.

lovely leaves rustling in the wind and a blue sky for #thicktrunktuesday. that movement and sound is called "rascheln" in German, a lovely onomatopoetic word.

Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff.

When you think about planting native plants in the area you control, what *prevents* you from taking that action? These could be emotional, financial, practical, anything.

RTs appreciated here.

The doctor said I have diet autism and I should do meth about it!
But seriously: I was formally diagnosed with ADHD (after years of not daring/managing to try to get diagnosed) and will start meds soon!
Lots of confusing feelings about it but hopeful that this'll help.

Yoo, new cloud painting!! I'm pretty happy about it. ☺️ #clouds #eastcoastkin #art
Finished work first. A small acrylic painting of a white-grey cumulus cloud section in front of a deep blue sky. Work in progress. Deep blue sky done, cloud is only white. Selfie of the painter with white paint on her nose. To be a painter, one must become the paint?

On #blueskymonday, I have only grey sky and raindrops to offer. Which is great, because we needed that rain. (Shut up @grumpmatic.bsky.social )

Slightl, darker blue sky, bottom left very golden light and the silhouette of a big festival tent; more clouds, mostly grey with a bit of gold. Sky covered in soft pale grey clouds, silhouettes of festival tents and trees below.

#stunday with a poppy field. The red was so strong against the green, it really felt like a glitch in the matrix...
