I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia
Fall rain brings #slugs. Slugs bring the Northwestern #GarterSnake. Slugs are a primary component of their diet. Provide shelter (large pieces of bark, stumps, rock walls, large rocks) for the snakes so they can rest and feast before hibernation in Oct/Nov. Slug Patrol!
Saw this bee covered in pollen, still going to all the flowers so I got a couple of quick shots. I really could do with some actual macro gear but this will do for now. 🐝
Just finished up a month in the Bighorn Mountains off-grid. I spent some serious time with my camera and the Crossbills. Normally these birds are 14.7 miles up at the top of conifer trees. Bc of the drought, they were on the ground looking for water. #Birds #BirdsOfBluesky 🪶

🧵Thread on the fascinating phenomenon that is the multi-species foraging flock: If different species are competing for finite resources, why would they band together like this? Research suggests that by doing so they enhance their chances of finding food, flushing out insects, and avoiding predators
Ferris Jabr@ferrisjabr.bsky.social · 2mo agoI love when multi-species flocks of birds descend upon the garden to bathe, forage, spar, and frolic. Today was a record-breaker for number of bird species in the garden simultaneously: chickadees, juncos, sparrows, wrens, goldfinches, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, nuthatches, and grosbeaks!

Did u know?Heat & drought has signalled a new era in global heating.It's easy to feel helpless,but if we create more shade,we protect plants/wildlife/ourselves:group pots together to create moist microclimates;plant small trees;plant hedging;plant flowers at the edges of borders,to cover soil.🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍
