And 1300 years later could we make something this beautiful and intricate using only the tools they had then?

Ok these guys really remind me of a cartoon character but I don’t remember which one. Some droopy seventies kid with long hair?

After a tough day, octopuses sometimes have to improvise to find somewhere safe to have a snooze, just like in this clamshell ~ photographed in Lembah Strait, off Indonesia, by Franco Tulli (Australian Nature Photographer Awards 2021) theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Do dogs bring out the best in people?

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social great interview on the Air India disaster. Lest we forget.

Well now it’s not just the great hair, there is a tail to go with it!

Oh my God I love this guy!

Absolutely not the kind of thing you want to find in a body of water. I was pretty far out on the ocean looking for birds and we picked up this bunch of balloons. Please don't let them go.

Thank goodness!

A real devil would have made him walk…

Great photo

Millet’s The Gleaners (1857) depicts impoverished rural women collecting stray bits of crops left over after harvesting. Criticised at the time for its subject matter (“working class/ugly/gross”) & its large size! (previously reserved for “noble” topics) artinsociety.com/millet-and-t...

I wouldn’t mind having that in my maison….

So true!

Never knew these guys existed and now I am in love. 😍

Pigeons tilt their posture and put their wing under the body when they are relaxed. I dunno the English word for this posture. In Japanese, we usually call it “片羽座布団(Kata bane zabuton)”, which means a wing cushion.

Once again the seagulls show us how its done.

If this wasn’t by Mike I would think it was AI. Nature is amazing!

Not surprising - lots of other sources of wine.

Over 7,000 activists from Mauritania, Morocco, and Algeria, and thousands from Tunisia and Libya, in a powerful display of solidarity, a 300-vehicle caravan , aiming to pressure authorities to open a permanent and independent humanitarian corridor into Gaza.

Probably the easiest but most impactful thing you can do *right now* for wild nature near you is to take a photo and then share it ... ⤵️

So when Ice retreats here, nobody cares, but when Ice retreats from a few homies near Home Depot in your country, the Army is called up?! -PM Tuxley II

Dancing, fighting or dating? Beautiful at any rate!

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Just in case anyone wants to know what I would like for my birthday….

Ain’t no ‘may be’

"Morning, Jim!" "Hey, Tom."
