Kilclooney Dolmen, near Ardara in Donegal. It dates from between 4000 & 3000 BCE. The remains of a smaller, part-collapsed neighbouring dolmen can be seen in the background on the left. Originally they would have been enclosed within a single large cairn. Photo: July 2023 #StandingStoneSunday

Got a surprising amount done in the garden today - first thing and just now - despite the heat and humidity. Tomorrow I can finally plant out the remaining zinnias and cosmos and give the slugs and snails a treat... 🌼🐌

Did u know? Around now,you might see the odd caterpillar wandering around,out of its normal surroundings - on pavements/driveways/roads.It's probably looking for a place to pupate.Pick it up with a leaf & pop it in herbage,where it'll be safe & can complete its lifecycle in peace.Mullein moth🐛🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲

A kung-fu crow at Strandhill beach. I did a photo of this 'waving' crow a few years ago - it got published in a couple of places. Here is my 'painting' of that scene - contact me if you would like a print or look in my online print shops.. @sligogirl.bsky.social #Strandhill #Sligo #Ireland #crow

Thank you, house martin. I suppose I should be grateful it wasn't on my head or in my drink... 💩

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

I grew this common mallow from seed last year. It's around 3 metres tall now. It might have to be relocated before next year, attractive though the flowers are, as it's rather taken over the spot it's in. #FlowersOnFriday #BloomScrolling #Gardening
