Foto colorida vertical de um boneco de lobisomem do tamanho de uma pessoa com uma cabeça grande. Ele veste uma calça cinza, camiseta e uma agasalho aberto vermelhos, além de um crachá também vermelho e sapatos marrons. Seus pelos são escuros e a mão direita está no bolso da calça. O rosto não tem pelos. Duas orelhas pontudas no alto da cabeça, olhos grandes avermelhados e um sorriso cheio de dentes. O boneco está de pé ao lado de um banco de madeira, o piso é cinza escuro. No fundo portas de vidro de um loja de conveniência onde aparecem alguns dos itens à venda.

Foto colorida quadrada que tem na parte central uma placa pendurada em uma coluna de concreto com um desenho de uma pessoa lavando um carro e embaixo do desenho está escrito "LAVADOR TERCERIZADO” em vez de "terceirizado”. Ou será que o lavador só trabalha às terças? No fundo, o espaço onde se lavam os carros com uma parede de azulejos brancos encardidos.

Foto colorida externa de uma estrada asfaltada, onde aparece na parte direita inferior um lindo fusca verde em ótimo estado. Do lado direito do fusca um pequeno caminhão. Um pouco adiante na estrada aparecem outros veículos. No centro uma árvore e ao fundo as montanhas, um céu azul e algumas poucas nuvens brancas.

Foto colorida externa de uma arte de rua onde aparecem 5 cabeças com expressões variadas em uma coluna tubular de concreto. Ao fundo o cenário urbano da cidade de São Paulo.

essa semana tive que cair na estrada, trago algumas pérolas que encontrei pelo caminho

Beyond excited to discover 'my'Goldfinches prospecting for a nest site for the 3rd year. Lovely to hear the nearby Greenfinches too, not heard them in a while. Seem to also have a resident Chiff Chaff and a Blackcap too. 2025 fledglings below. #UrbanNature @rspb.bsky.social

Finally, loving this map of blossom highlights in Manchester City Centre #urbannature #treehunting

Also took advantage of a break in the rain to visit the Castlefield viaduct garden #urbannature

A vertical, close-up photograph capturing a small, dark bird partially obscured within the branches of a blossoming tree against a red brick wall. In the foreground, white, star-shaped blossoms with delicate green centers are in sharp focus, clustered on dark, slender branches that crisscross the frame. The bird, showing mottled brown and gray feathers, is perched behind a thick, central diagonal branch, its head tilted downward. The background consists of a blurred red brick wall with light-colored mortar, creating a repetitive horizontal pattern that contrasts with the organic, angular lines of the tree limbs. The lighting is bright, highlighting the translucent quality of the white petals and the rough texture of the bark, suggesting a quiet, observant moment of urban nature.

Walking through Yale campus, I heard cheeping in a tree. Searching through the blossoms, I captured my singing bird.

Fake flowers designed to guide pollution-confused bees back to the real thing

Tulips in Warm Colors

Orange and red tulips rise from the green,
some open, some still waiting.
Between bloom and promise—
spring moving forward.

Still closed,
tulip buds rise quietly from the soil.
