A mix of lichens including a Xanthoria (I think) a couple of Physcia spp, and others. All hanging out on a tree branch. Northwest Territories, Canada.

A long walk home yesterday in a delightful snowstorm. I passed this person on their own walk going the opposite way. After they passed I turned and took this photograph .

Red for warmth, festivity, Santa, berries
Green for evergreens, life, renewal
The instantly recognisable colours of Xmas🎄☃️🎁❤️💚

There was 3 in bed and the little one said happy Xmas 😂
Extreme close-up macro photograph of bright red petals with glossy water droplets that reflect green tones—together evoking the traditional red and green colours of Christmas. The droplets glisten like tiny ornaments, creating a festive, abstract holiday feel.

Evening greetings!

I'm not sure the extra time and effort I am putting into my drawings is actually showing any meaningful increase in quality.
But I'm also a rotten self-critic 🙃

May your evening be without judgement 🖤

One of a series of mixed media drawings of musicians playing at an Irish music session in Mill Road, Cambridge
#mixedmedia #musicsession #fiddle #guitar #tinwhistle
Musicians playing Irish music in a Cambridge pub painted using mixed media. From left to right a fiddler, a tin whistle player, a guitarist and another whistler. A fiddle lays on the table among the depleted glasses of beer and Guinness. The gold-embellished mirror is a great feature of this pub and the dartboard is just sketched in on the left.

Dragonflies fun facts

- Just one dragonfly can consume over 100 mosquitos in a day
- Dragonflies can fly backwards
- They have nearly 360° vision
- Their wings inhibit bacterial growth due to their natural structures
- They're actually beautiful

*cough* If you're gift shopping for anyone interested in how the world works, do consider these. Storm in a Teacup is all about the physics of everyday life and Blue Machine is all about how the ocean works - the water itself, which is the biggest story on Earth. Share the joy of nature & science!

Oh, Stop Whining
"The image captures a moment of avian theater on a wooden bird feeder fashioned like a miniature porch swing. The feeder’s slatted seat and upright posts echo the charm of a Southern veranda, weathered and warm with age. Suspended in stillness, the swing cradles two Blue Jays—bold, crested songbirds known for their vivid plumage and assertive presence. On the upper slat, one Blue Jay stands poised and composed, its body upright and feathers sleek. The bird’s brilliant blue back and wings shimmer with black barring and white accents, while its white chest and face are framed by a crisp black necklace that curves elegantly around the throat. Its crest is raised just slightly, a sign of alertness or mild curiosity. Below, on the lower slat, the second Blue Jay is caught mid-action—wings flared, beak open, as if calling out or issuing a challenge. Its posture is dynamic, feathers slightly ruffled, giving the impression of motion and sound. The contrast between the two birds—one still, one vocal—creates a sense of layered drama, like a duet of silence and song. The background is softly blurred, a wash of neutral tones that lifts the birds and feeder into sharp relief. The photograph is signed “Swede’s Photographs” on the right, marking this as a moment of captured wild choreography." - Microsoft Copilot
