Afternoon visit for their night cap.
Kookaburra’s seem to be getting earlier every day.

A bogbean - a pink and white flower with three leaves and a long stem - grows in a marshy area.

Bogbean growing in the wetlands at RSPB Old Moor - a rather uninspiring name for an attractive flower. #ThePhotoHour #nature #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #flowers @rspb.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

Undersea treasure
Trove, caves of jade protected
By the great Kraken.

there is a moment
just before evening
when things lose their edges

cars soften into grey
voices into shapes
you into someone
you almost recognise

and you stay there
longer than you should

consort eyes a rope of jade

Whilst I was back in the UK I got this very cute Long-tailed Tit pose for me. They are so difficult to photography in my area of Spain. When you look closely at their faces they almost look like a toy. #birds #birdphotography #birdoftheday #birdsseenin2026

#undersea
stones rasp
chatter
restless on their bed
slow grind
eroding in time
to the water's
beat

p a r t i c u l a t e

the morning tide
pulled by the moon
draws towards the shore

on the water's edge
a dolphin carcass
borne by the sea
comes to rest

the gulls
will return
with the sun

Don't let your senses go numb
from the countless atrocities
Don't let your heart harden —
open it even wider
reach deep inside
let the wordtide ebb and flow

Writing beauty into the world
is not an act of escapism —
It is a form of resistance.

parses turquoise shallows
tepid and neap
Luminescent flux persists
Coral blue eyes

A close-up of a layered golden-yellow hibiscus flower in full bloom. Its curled petals lit by sunlight. At the center, a cluster of red-tipped stigma stands out against the yellow. Green leaves and a small bud frame the flower, with a blurred garden background.

Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸

Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in.

This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale.

Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

Potem Falls on Potem Creek near Montgomery Creek, CA. the creek flows into the Pit River, which then empties into Lake Shasta, merging with the McCloud River to merge with & become the Sacramento River.

When you meet up with old friends reminded that the passage of time waits for no one.
Good or bad in the end we become distant memories until we fade even from those whom could recall our name.
Make the most of your days, give those that love you something to remember💚
*My image of a beautiful older dog that I’d met a few times previously while out wandering around this country of mine. He’s older thicker slower and more beautiful with age making me saddened to think that perhaps I might not see him again.

Probably one of the most cutest birds I ever saw! 🟢⚪️🔵🟣🔴

The Cuban Tody (Todus multicolor), one of the most colorful birds in the Caribbean, only ten centimeters long with a bright red throat, emerald green and a pinkish belly.
