Taking a brief break from horror to embrace a little fantasy. Been meaning to read @joannechocolat.bsky.social's The Moonlight Market for a while now. Tonight's the night!

Conifer forests rustle like ocean waves as the breeze whispers the river's path, its far reaches.

Let us be the guardians of these places. The Evergreen State should accurately reflect its meaning. 🙏🌲🌲

I often get asked to help with bird ID problems when the answer is: it's a female of a common species! Here's a poster celebrating the often-overlooked intricacies of female bird plumage. During June, proceeds from my shop sales go to @instbirdpop.bsky.social topatoco.com/collections/...

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

The Most Dangerous Animal in the World was a 1963 exhibit at the Bronx Zoo in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. It featured a mirror and text describing the dangers humans pose to life on earth. In 1968 the exhibit was duplicated at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.

In Wallonia, there's a rock called La Pierre Haina. It's also known as the White Menhir. It is thought that the stone is used by the devil to travel to the centre of the earth. Another tale says that the stone is a priest who blasphemed God and was turned into stone as punishment.

I went looking for the heron again yesterday, he did not disappoint. It took several return trips to the location, but he gave another very brief photo op. This bird’s plumage is so exquisitely beautiful it was unbelievable.
