small red vase with a tiny bunch of blue forget-me-not flowers and leaves as well as a sprig of curry plant against a white wall

Picked this morning, inspired by @silverpebble2.bsky.social.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

A moth with an orange face and black eyes. It is hanging from a twig looking directly at the camera. It is very fluffy, like a teddy bear

Moth faces are so cute. Here’s a moth in the genus Trosia

Far out, undersea,
In the pelagic abyss,
The old ones talk
Of the tranquility
Where stars go to rest...
But all my days,
I've gazed at
The horizon
Where the
Undying Lands lie,
In the mists
Far out west...

Even though birds can’t smile the way humans do, I think that sometimes they are definitely smiling at us

I already cant wait for today’s work day to be over. Going to see the Rock Orchestra by Candlelight tonight :D

There was some discussion earlier about writing advice. The biggest thing I've found helps is accepting that the first draft is just that. A first draft. Write it to get out of your head, then fix it.

Certain doors demand your attention when walking passed them, demand you wonder about what happens beyond them. They generate an intimate, personal folklore, unfold odd stories in your mind. I'd knock upon them, but the sense of mystery is just too valuable. – #MattAdams

I’ve only ever been blocked once to my knowledge & I found it fucking hilarious because it was the action of a absolute man-child. They stabbed me in the back (figuratively) at work, and i was being *nice* about it in an I see what you did there and will rise above way that he couldn’t cope with 😆

Why on Earth would I? Bacon is a solid plan!

Big sympathies! Id give you big squishy huggles, but don’t want to break you any more than you are xx

Close-up of apple blossom on a branch: soft white flowers with pale pink blush and yellow stamens, surrounded by deep pink buds and fresh green leaves against a softly blurred spring background.

“Out in the orchard dwell wee little fairies,
Busy with bud and with blossom at last;
See how they work with their palettes and brushes,
Tinting the apple-trees brightly and fast.”

— from “Apple Blossoms” by Mary Dow Brine (1838-1925).

Two crows painted to make a heart shape within a heart of pink flowers and foliage.

Transformers! More than meets the eye!

This VERY ANGRY ROCK is actually a brown box crab (Echidnocerus foraminatus), a king crab found off the Pacific coast of North America.

The impressively compact shape is a defense posture, but there's an even neater feature not shown here.

A warning: with The Story of Birds coming soon, I'm going to be very annoying with constant PR & marketing posts. Even more annoying than usual.

In an effort to blunt the narcissism, here are some books from other writers (yes they exist) that I've greatly enjoyed recently!
