Dreaming of Ireland 🍀🇮🇪 A year ago this is where I was, instead of the overheated smoke filled shit covered smelly hellscape that is currently Michigan. PS: I'm sorry Canadian friends, please don't blame all of us for the idiots 🇨🇦
The unique nectar spurs on the columbines' backs store sweet nectar, acting as private reservoirs, designed so only specific long-tongued pollinators such as hummingbirds can reach the food. Flower behind #5 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBForBehind #ECK #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling
From a tiny egg to one of nature's most important pollinators—every honey bee has an incredible journey.In just 21 days,a honey bee transforms through four amazing stages:Egg → Larva→ Pupa→ Adult.This tiny creature plays a massive role in pollinating the plants that provide much of the food we eat.
WOW, I crossed 20k followers! Huge thanks to each one of you for your interest in archaeology. To celebrate this milestone, here's a highlight of our collections,an #IceAge masterpiece: The so-called Venus of Hohle Fels (a cave on the Swabian Jura) was carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years..🧵1/2
#FindsFriday Fiesole is best known for its #Roman site, a cool resort in the hills above Florence for many centuries. But Archaeological Museum there also has just fabulous antiquities accumulated from local collections. This goosey wonder is an earlier #Etruscan aryballos (flask) from C 7 BC.

These #fungifriends show up on the same log every year. It is always so lovely to see them as long as I catch them before the slugs do 😆 #fungifriday #fungi
Canada always sends us firefighters to help when our fires blaze out of control and the federal government won't do anything because it is happening in a blue state. Maybe we should stop being bad neighbours and help them too.

“Buddhism is a practice of accepting the here and now—not only the bliss of meditation, but the irritations of mundane human interaction. Just as the lotus needs muddy water to live, the pain of the world can inspire compassionate and effective action.” — Katy Butler

I have been working on product descriptions this morning, but need a break. I have made a few raku spheres like this inspired by the cosmos (planets, moons, exoplanets). If you had to imagine a name or back story for this celestial object, what would it be? #sciart #astrophotography #astronomy
