Kindness, compassion, and empathy are the things we should be spreading right now. The world is full of division. Let's all please give less time and energy to those promoting hate and shame and more time helping those who truly need it. 🙏🏻❤️
@whiteboarfilms.com Happy birthday wishes to you Richard. 😊🥂🎂
Had a bit of a meander today. Stopped to take in the serenity of a little stream. We definitely need some rain to boost the stream's water level.
Ooo! So it does. 😊 Thank you so much for your help with that identification. 👍
Horse chestnut tree beginning to turn its leaves into its autumnal colours. I think most probably due to the lack of rain.
Dear #Nature People of BlueSky, may I please have your assistance in identifying what this shrub or tree is please? I can't find an exact match in any of my nature books, but I'd really like to know what it is. Thank you in advance for your help. 😊
Okay folks it’s hot out there so we need to talk about #bees and #water.
Please #repost and #share for impact.
Thanks!
BEES NEED WATER!
BEES GET STUCK IN AND DIE IN WATER!
Here’s what you need to know!

Beautiful. 😊
Cinnabar moth caterpillars on scabious. First for our garden (at the front of the house.) I am very chuffed they're here. 😊
Thank you. Hope you have a lovely day too. 😊 Is that butterfly a speckled wood?
There are lots of pollen beetles everywhere in the garden at the moment and lots of various hoverflies. 😊
That's a shame.
Gorgeous colours. 😊
Nasturtiums.
Black Eyed Susan vine - Thunbergia Alata. A mystery plant as it was not planted by us.
Buddleia flowers
Borage flower
More Welsh poppies.
Some floral picture spam coming up. For @jpineo.bsky.social and any other nature loving people. I'll start with an orange tinged Welsh Poppy with bonus pollen beetles.
The leafcutter bees were busy last week. Eight occupants as of today.
We give so much weight to our fears, doubts, and worst-case scenarios, often without a shred of evidence.
But what if we gave our hopes, dreams, and best-case scenarios that same unwavering belief?
Choose where you place your energy. It matters more than you think.
Sometimes you get a lovely surprise if you look at the undersides of leaves. 😊 Ladybird larva on the underside of a nasturtium leaf.
Thanks for posting this. 👍😊 I've got two scabious plants, the colour of the flowers are different on each plant, so this is going to be useful discerning which type of scabious they are.
@awkwardceleb.bsky.social Should mention that I nipped on Discord to have a bit of a nosey and saw that you do indeed have a Blue Sky account. So, yay! 😀 Hope you and the family are all doing ok. 🤗 xx
@awkwardceleb.bsky.social Helloooo! 😁👋 Extremely chuffed to discover you're on here.
I don't have any ideas, sorry Raven. I have re-posted just in case it reaches someone who does know about such items. 😊
Because I need to focus on something else completely anybody have any ideas as to who made this brooch that I thrifted. It looks like it might be from the 1950s but it does not have any markings on it but it looks like it is well made.
That's just beautiful. 😊
