Pick up a twig on a walk down the road, anywhere.

Take it carefully home. Make a cuppa. Look.

There are many things at work on that twig. Some we (I) can barely imagine.

They are critical to our world. Just take a look for 10 mins. More if you like 😘

Have a think

Sticking it out at 73 pro tem, but only out of spite 🤣
TBH, never thought (or really wanted) I’d get past 50, given lifestyle etc, but here we are and one has to pass the time somehow. Innit 🥴🤷🏼‍♂️

Even in small countries like Scotland, the culture of mowing, spraying and frankly idiotic ‘tidying’ is dominant, mebbe centuries old gorse and hawthorn hedges still being pulled out by ‘hydraulic man’.

I can't save the U.S. from this downward spiral led by an 🍊💩, but I did help a Painted turtle today that was crossing a main road so he wouldn't get smashed. Small victories for nature's beings!
