In dandelion season, when the Lilliputian lions spread magic at our feet, weave the magical golden flowers into your wedding bouquet for good luck, drink dandelion tea for psychic dreams and blow the seeds into the wind to make your wish come true.

Gargoyles, grotesques, and corbels reading books are my favorites.

Thank you!

Narrow canal with still bare trees beside it that cast a shadow because the sun is shining. Spring is coming!

Very atmospheric! And cold too!

Vintage Easter postcard (1910) by Davidson Bros., Series 44, printed in Germany. Three fluffy chicks hatch from large white eggs among yellow primroses and spring greenery. The card bears the greeting “A Bright and Happy Easter.”

Today is Friday the 13th, a number long wrapped in superstition. It was once said you must never bring fewer than 13 yellow primroses indoors, for each one stood for a hatched chick. 13 eggs was the traditional clutch set beneath a broody hen. Fewer primroses meant fewer chicks!

I choose everything! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

I choose love. I choose inclusion. I choose empathy, compassion, equality, dignity, diversity, I choose community, kindness, integrity, honesty, respect. I choose justice, I choose facts, peace, the planet, i choose humanity. I choose LOVE

I choose #peace #love #respect #diversity #empathy and you?

Blessed be

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

‘All you need is a chair and a view’: could daily ‘dusking’ make us healthier and happier? An old Dutch ritual of going outside to watch the coming of night – or dusking – is having a revival across Europe. Fans of the practice say it’s a great way to disconnect from screens and find peace

‘Dusking’ - intriguing idea of creating a pause by going outside to watch the coming of the night. “Dusking is about looking at one point and seeing it fade. Don’t look around too much; focus. Trees are very good – they rise up for a moment and then fade away.”

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

This whole thread is really good, whether you’ve ever had to deal with cancer or not. Let us celebrate our bodies and the natural aging process!
