Happy International Crow & Raven Appreciation Day! #crow #raven #birdphotograph #photography #wa #pnw #wildlifephotography #cute #art #cawmunity #nature #カラス #seattle #bellingham

The Vietnamese word for a ladybird, bọ rùa, means “turtle bug.” The Ukrainian word, сонечко (sonechko), means “little sun.” And the Norwegian word, marihøne, means “Mary’s chicken.” But my favourite word for a ladybird will always be the Welsh buwch goch gota, which I’d translate as “stubby red cow”

Greetings and good morning it’s the Easter Sunday farm rush hour with me 😊

The sun never sets. It is only an appearance due to the limited perspective of the observer. And yet, what a sublime illusion it is.

The world is so pretty sometimes, it feels like living in a dream. #Dream #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #Reflection

Bright light will always banish the dark...pass it on 💛 #MeaninglessHashtag #EastCoastKin #MHClub

It’s a sign.

Before I go into today's dystopian nightmare, let's take a minute to bring down your blood pressure. Here is one of my favorite creatures, the #RedPanda. Enjoy. #nature #animals

My task is no longer to measure myself against my old shadows, but to see my light, even where it shimmers faintly. My task is to listen to myself, to comfort myself, to trust myself, to take the first step towards myself - with the same love with which I would take anyone else into my heart.

When you just need light-hearted news, NPR delivers! A crow's math skills include geometry... #birder "It's the first time a species other than humans has been shown to have this kind of geometric intuition." - @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/04/12/n...

We’re rapidly reaching peak birdsong, as breeding season is in full swing and resident birds are being joined by migrants, so maybe now’s a good time to be reminded of the existence of the Swedish word ‘gökotta’ – getting up early to listen to birdsong.

✨VIBE✨ of the day… 😎 Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. I never lose. I either WIN or I LEARN. Keep going! #blueskyvibes #nature #motivation

Good night, Familia. Be gentle with yourself. Take time for you, no explanations, no apologies. Stay safe. Stay happy. ✨♥️🍃🕊️

#Sandpipers at sunset—playing chicken with the waves. Sand: because they're often seen along sandy beaches and shorelines Piper: an old word referring to a chirping or piping sound So, sandpiper basically means 'the bird that chirps by the sand.' video credit: venice_beach_rays

life is short, eat the good chocolate. use the fancy dishes. wear the sparkly dress to get groceries. get the tattoo. tell them you love them. dance in the kitchen to your favorite song. buy yourself flowers. laugh. read in coffee shops. romanticize your life. do what makes you happy.

Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world. - John Burroughs #photography #California

Here, where sea grass whispers ancient wisdom and footprints map my journey home, I surrender today's struggles to the tide. The sun spills its golden secrets across the water, reminding me that even the most challenging days end in beauty.

#beautyseekers 💞 Hold fast to hope & kindness and remember... "You can't steal the light from someone who carries a galaxy of stars in their heart." - Rumi -- 📷: jg-photos.bsky.social

You don't have to carry everything at once. Just like the ocean moves in waves, life's challenges come and go. Focus on what's right in front of you and take one small step at a time.

The wind’s melody was so soft this sunrise 📷🕊️ ….

The thought "I'm not doing as badly as I was, so I don't have to stay on top of my recovery habits today" is a scarlet red flag for relapse vulnerability-- and one of Trauma Brain's most effective tools against us. Don't get suckered. Stay sharp & consistent w/ recovery skills.

Good morning friends! Happy Thursday! It’s brisk outside and winter is protesting. Enjoy the calm that you find and build on it. Remember to get outside so nature can work its magic. I hope you have a lovely day wherever you are. 😊
