Gay coyote-with-a-hint-of-collie in a redwood forest. Art, pictures, words, fiddle, equestrian, handler of a beloved and diverse pack. She/her, flexibly. 18+ Pedestrian wolf; animal eloquence, sometimes.
By accident, he had discovered the first synthetic dye to be commercially produced & the 1st aniline dye synthesized by humans. It democratized, not malaria treatment, but ROYAL PURPLE, previously made by crushing sea snails, at great cost. Now, ANYONE could have purple garments.
Perkin was cleaning up after a failed synthesis that only produced black sludge when he noticed alcohol used to wash the glassware became intensely purple. This alcohol-soluble compound was named 'mauveine', for the French word for the mallow plant's purple blossom & the color was "Perkin Mauve."

Lotte Reiniger's silhouette animation in THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED (1926), the earliest surviving full-length animated feature. Her attention to detail was stunning, note the wobble of the chess piece.
Another of several impressive thick trees that I came across on a trail along a forest service unpaved road above Hope Valley, #California, off of Highway 88 in the #SierraNevada mountains. For #ThickTrunkTuesday. #ECK #landscapephotography #hiking #trails #nature #outdoors #trees #WestCoastKin

Hey plont fanciers, what do you think? I don't think they are monsteras, the leaf texture and growth pattern are different. Some kind of ficus? Anyone know? Pretty guys, hope they grow for me!
My daughter has just sent me this lovely photo where you get an even better view of the puffin.
Help us welcome a new species to DZCA, the Indonesian babirusa! Chip, a four-year-old male, came to us from Audubon Zoo and Garland, a four-year-old female, joins us from Nashville Zoo. They are here on an AZA Species Survival Plan. Stop by Toyota Elephant Passage to say hi!
big fish energy 🐟 If you've ever stood in front of our Giant Kelp Forest and thought, "Whoa, that fish is BIG," you were probably looking at our #GiantSeaBass. This local species can grow to more than 7 feet long and weigh over 500 pounds, making it one of the largest bony fish in the Pacific.

More Hounds Day party group shots! Neo's face is so pretty
Our flight from Seattle to Sacramento was delayed by a few hours last night, but we were rewarded with an epic sunset on Tahoma (Rainier) as it poked through the low stratus layer. The pastel peach backdrop was made possible by the horrific wildfire smoke from all the PNW fires.
Getting a moon shaped bird feeder was the right call, look how absolutely perfect this is

Tiny Mr Cactus Guy has an entire recognizable, miniscule cactus pad; I'm so proud! Small!! as yet unbloomed treasure Outono Brazil has a lot of new growth! The tender greenhouse babies I just got are doing well so far. This is a good time to get Schlumbergera cacti (when they're not blooming)
BREAKING: Longtime Democratic Party strategist James Carville has died at the age of 79. Born a swamp alligator, Carville bargained his soul to the Devil in exchange for human form under the condition that the Democratic Party never become hospitable to minorities.
For #AncientSiteSunday let's go to my favourite #Roman site: the temple complex of #Baalbek, located in the Bekaa Valley, #Lebanon. The breathtaking site contains some of the largest Roman temples ever built. The so-called Bacchus temple is one of...🧵1/2 📷 Rami Rizk 🏺 #archaeology
