Deer in the mist this morning... #nature

I'm not a very good video maker, so it's worth what it's worth, but here is my first video of the Setouchi Triennale 2025. "Our Island" by Émilie Faïf on Ogijima. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i0W... #video #art #Ogijima #Japan #SetouchiTriennale2025 #ArtSetouchi #男木島 #瀬戸内国際芸術祭2025 #瀬戸内国際芸術祭

Afraid of insects and spiders? Try getting a nice picture of one. This is me gently trying to coax a jumping spider back toward the camera. The spider was having none of it and easily escaped. Most bugs do their best to get away from you. Safe travels, little one!

With some 20,000 species- four times the total diversity of mammals- ants have developed an enormous variety of forms. This is the soldier of Pheidole absurda, from Texas.

About seven weeks ago my brother and I returned from a big two-week rollerblading trip around Thailand and Laos. It was exhausting skating in the tropical heat every day but extremely rewarding and we met some great people. We vlogged it: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Heart Attacks Among Young People Rising To “Alarming Levels”, Say Doctors, But Vibes.

Maruoka Castle in Fukui Prefecture is one of Japan’s oldest surviving castle towers. Built in 1576, it’s a striking symbol of the Sengoku period’s brutal legacy—but its stone walls hide a ghostly tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and vengeance. #SupernaturalJapan 🧵 1/9

I got to spend some nice quiet time with Mr Crow this evening after work. Not long enough, there's always someone showing up sooner or later, but that was nice and the first time in a while (if only he was okay with chilling on my balcony with me, but he's not). #crows #birds #corvids

#Adoorable The National Sailors School. Awajima in the Seto Inland Sea. Sailors trained here when it was open from 1897 to 1987. Now it can be visited and the simple but beautiful façade admired. (Image from 2015.)

I was reminded of the Awashima National Sailors School this morning. I visited in 2015. This blog captures the place very well, though it doesn't mention the grumpy manager who was overseeing the place at the time. Note it is closed until 2027. www.setouchiexplorer.com/awashima-nat...

Nécrologie : Corneilles Paris annonce la mort de la cybercrow Rouge 185, tuée par un chasseur le 20 avril à Saint-Martin-de-Nigelles, dans la Beauce (photo d'illustration). Baguée en 2024, R185 était une grande exploratrice : elle a parcouru 2500 km en mars ! Merci pour tout, petite corneille

Hey! It’s an #EarthDay visit from Ravi 🥰 Some snacks, some exploring around the yard. More videos in the thread 🙂 🪶

My Easter weekend has been thoroughly rubbish, but here's a dromaeosaur chick from several years ago to round off your Easter Monday.

Incredible things are happening in Shikoku

Shidoji (志度寺) is temple 86 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. It is located in Sanuki, Kagawa Prefecture. The principal image (deity) of this temple is Juichimen Kannon (十一面観世音菩薩).

More of the MS-LA theme with an Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii) from Louisiana. These large turtles dwell on river bottoms with jaws open, wiggling a fleshy pink worm-like protuberance inside their mouths to entice unwary fish. #herps #turtles #TurtleTuesday #NaturePhotography🌿
