The remains of Castle Pulverbatch Motte and Bailey were known locally as 'The Knapp'. It once guarded an ancient route along the border into Wales. Built by Roger 'the Hunter' Venator in 1086, it is a fine example of a Castle with inner and outer bailey. #Medieval #History #Shropshire

Going back to 2018, here’s my painting of a bearded iris (Iris germanica). The client asked me to base my work on Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s Iris Germanica (2nd image) but change the blooms to match irises growing in their garden, irises that had come from their mother. 1/6 #SciArt 🐡 #plants

While I disagree with the language used in the Pentecostalist's pamphlet 'Faery Doors – Gates To Hell', I do have concerns. Some may see the practice as harmless superstition, but some things shouldn't be poked. I'd say creating portals to Faery is an extreme poking. – Rev. J.H. Bliss

Happy 75th b’day, Stevie — who once said he writes the music first and lets the lyrics find their own way. One example: a tune was going to be about religion. "But then, .. we were in the studio, talking about things that happened when we were kids, back in the day. So it turned into 'I Wish.'"

In medieval Europe, Catholic farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary for help against the aphids destroying their crops. Ladybugs appeared & ate the aphids, earning them the name "Beetles of Our Lady," which became "ladybugs." #LegendaryWednesday

When British mountaineer Frank Smythe climbed Everest in the 1930s, he claimed to have seen bizarre, hovering, pulsating objects in the sky, one of which had "squat, underdeveloped wings," while another "had a beak-like protuberance like the spout of a teakettle." #WyrdWednesday
