a pale yellow basket star in a dark ocean. Its arms are spread fan-like around it. It looks ethereal.

A close-up of a hermit crab looking straight at the camera with some trepidation. As far as that is a mood that hermit crabs are capable of. The crab is red, its snail shell pale with an orange spiraling pattern. It is on a gravely seabed.

Still from Zone of Interest showing the actor playing Rudolf Hoess in a dark hallway. Haircut and coat aesthetics mirror those of the quote-post. We know what you are.

I just bought some art.
The red one.
I feel so posh.
two paintings. on the left a red one, on the right a blue one. both are abstract with forms emerging from shades of colour, lines, dots, and repeated shapes.

a collection of lego jellyfish. Includes models of moon, atolla, lion's mane, mangrove upside-down, immortal jellyfish and mauve stinger. They are a bit simplistic, even on lego terms.

so apparently a flock of blue jays is called a party?

A blue jay clinging to a log sidways. The picture is from behind, so that the tail is closest. The jay is looking attentively to the right. The background is out of focus, but looks like red-leafed trees. Brilliant focus contrast on the image.
