It is now junius, June, the first of summer months. In this mosaic Neptune is with four seasons. The summer has a Dionysian theme. From the private baths at Caput Vada (La Chebbs), dated to the 2nd century AD. Now in Bardo Museum in Tunis. #MosaicMonday

Peatlands store twice the amount of carbon than all the world's forests. They help control flooding, reduce wildfire risk, drought, and provide important habitat for rare wildlife. Wicken Fen is one of the last refuges for a host of species dependent on peatland soils. #WorldPeatlandsDay

The unearthing of this Bronze Age shield, c. 1300-1100 BC, is curious. Discovered around 1779 during a peat extraction on Luggtonrigge Farm, it was found placed in a ring amongst five or six others.

Time-transformed the stones may be, diminished in power as story engines they're not. Once portal tomb and now lichen-dressed lithic huddle, the shadow of the Long Neolithic is still cast. They still provide spine for folklore's living current to bloom upon. – Dr. K. Brophy 1982 #StandingStoneSunday

You might just have to take my word for it, but this is a hillfort! Lurking beneath the trees is Burrow Fort near Hopesay in Shropshire. Didn't climb it as was on a different quest, but someone here will have done, I hope? (At least I stopped to take the photo ...) #HillfortsWednesday

A modest door for #AdoorableThursday, but, my goodness, what a door frame! In the cloister of Hereford Cathedral.

🌿 Iunius —the #Roman name for #June—was once the 4th month, becoming the 6th after reforms. It may be named for #Juno, queen of the gods. On 1st June, were anniversaries of the temples of Juno Moneta, #Mars & the Tempestates. Juno Moneta, guardian of state funds, gave rise to the words money & mint.

#standingstonesunday Not archaeology but a freak of tide and wave...a 75cm stone jutting up on the beach shingle #Sark

At last... a Tree bumblebee - Bombus hypnorum - the first I've seen this year. Hopefully the colony she has come from will produce queens and males. Last year was a terrible year in our neck of the woods for this species... #bumblebees #wildlife #pollinators #bees #nature
