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!

mini koi pond sculpture with resin "water" and lots of moss and flowers there's a frog on a lily pad and some leaves on the water, two fish, and a robin on a big rock with the kanji for "peace" very crudely carved into it

I made this for my mom and it lights up from underneath with a little led and I'm so stinking pleased with it

I can't wait to show it to her in a few days

My photo shows a Hellenistic era hemispherical mosaic glass bowl viewed from above. The glass has a floral pattern made up of tiny, many-petalled blue, white, and yellowy-green flowers against a dark purple background (looks black in my photo). The bowl has an alternating diagonal-striped black and white glass rim. The bowl has been reconstructed from fragments and the plain light blue areas are where missing glass fragments have been replaced during reconstruction. It measures 13.2 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in height. It was made in the eastern Mediterranean about 200-100 BC.

This Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago!

Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today!

Absolutely incredible.
