Close-up of bright magenta-purple flowers of honesty (Lunaria annua) in sunlight, with soft green background blur. A hoverfly—likely a pied hoverfly (Scaeva pyrastri), showing a black body with pale yellow comma-shaped spots and clear veined wings—rests on one of the petals, feeding at the flower’s centre.
So guys been out hiking all day and I’m shattered. Going to grab a bite to eat and chill. 😎 Please enjoy what’s left of your day and see you all tomorrow. Here’s a snap from my garden a short time ago. #photography #ColorADay #PinkMon #MacroMonday #ECK
Mornings in the #bog. It's like its own little utopia. It's hard to imagine a more cool place to be. The pitcher plant bogs of North Florida are otherworldly. From a recent foggy morning. #photography #landscape #ECK #bogs #pitcherplants #Sarracenia #fog #bogplants
Politico report the Home Secretary was asked who out of Zack Polanski, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch or Ed Davey she would taser or deport.
Mahmood replied: “All of the above.”
So Home Secretary is herself able to joke about deporting Badenoch, Polanski & Farage.
(Farage ought not to reciprocate)
This was the Home Secretary (Labour, a British south Asian woman) arguing that the personal characteristics of another MP (the LibDem Home Affairs spokesman, a white British man) invalidate his argument, because he does not share her characteristics or experiences.
Is the Home Secretary's hypothesis that Yvette Cooper wouldn't be criticised if tabled the same asylum/settlement reforms?!
The personal characteristics of Nigel Farage/Zia Yusuf, Chris Philp/Kemi Badenoch, Shabana Mahmood/Starmer seem v marginal to who supports/opposes their immigration plans!
The orange fluffy blooms of a plant we call Orange crush is enjoying dappled sunshine as a light breeze has her swaying.

The memory of the Shoah (Holocaust) has become “a vast fig leaf - its lamentable effect to combine self-victimization and self-pity with self-righteousness, hubris and the euphoria of power”

WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?
A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

A Black Turnstone walking across bright green surfgrass exposed at low tide. This is a dark brown shorebird with a dark chest, a white belly and brown legs. It has black eyes and a short, pointed black bill.
Four baby Killdeer chicks standing in a gravel lot. These are extremely fluffy baby shorebirds with long legs and short bills. Their backs are mottled brown, their bellies are bright white, and they have black markings across their chest and eyes.
A White-lined Dirona swimming over sand This is a nudibranch with a whitish, semi-translucent body and broad leaf-like projections across its body that are edged in white.
A male Common Yellowthroat singing while perched on a small branch. The vapor of his breath is just visible above him. This is a yellow songbird with a bright yellow throat and a black mask over the front of his face. He has a contrasting white stripe just above this mask, and a small, sharp black bill.
I am verrrrrryyyyy tentatively back, bsky. Do not make me regret this.

I got the perch portion of this one down, but the petals are still asleep in the branches. Early morning shot of a cardinal in our maple tree.
