Geese are useless birds. But, sometimes, their behaviour is interesting to watch. These two were walking laps around the pond - over and over. The one of the left constantly being harassed by the one on the right. You can see the feathers all out of sorts on the left one. Not sure what was going on between these two.

I love the dynamic between the single fish and the group moving in from behind.
One day, when I'm ready for a ridiculously insane challenge to test my artistic skillset, I'm going to attempt to recreate this scene in watercolor.

Moved by this passage from nonspeaking 13yo Higashida Naoki in his book, The Reason I Jump:
"To us people with special needs, nature is as important as our own lives. The reason is that when we look at nature, we receive a sort of permission to be alive in this world, and our entire bodies get recharged. However often we’re pushed away and ignored by other people, nature will always give us a good big hug, here inside our hearts."

While I see these Jays every time I go bird watching in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas, their blue crown feathers are usually "slicked back" nice and silky looking. But not this morning...as you can see those crown feathers are standing up nice and tall. It gave me a bit of a laugh as it looked as if they all had mohawks!

It turns out we knew how to #terraform our planet more than a #hundred years ago!
We took the lush, beautiful planet where we live and made it worse with lifeless, claustrophobic concrete labyrinths devoid of #life and barely having anything to do with #nature.
#SolarPunk is the way to go, folks. I'd start with #gardening if I were you. Produce your own #food and herbs, fuck the world trade and big capital.
Geikie gorge panorama
A more panoramic view of a section of the Geikie gorge. The high-water mark of the river in flood can clearly be seen on the gorge wall in the demarcation between light stone and its native, weathered oranges and dark ochres.

I found a nice spot of lichens on a rock and identified some as Granulating Rocktripe Lichen (Umbilicaria hirsuta).
This is a rare and critically imperiled lichen here in Ontario, Canada.
To this day, it's the first iNaturalist confirmed observation in Canada with the evidence of the presence of soredia on this lichen. The evidence of soredia on this lichen is necessary to distinguish it from similar lichens and to identify it.




Geikie gorge wall, detail
The eroded sandstone wall of Geikie gorge on the Fitzroy river, Western Australia. This picture was taken in the dry season, when the scoured, more heavily eroded rock is exposed. The high-water mark on the gorge wall in the following picture shows the huge difference in river height between wet and dry seasons, and the reason the stone is so deeply eroded.

In honor of the Equinox today, I set out to look for signs of spring besides my crocuses. I found a lone Periwinkle (Vinca), the Rhubarb making a tentative start and the Raspberries waking up.

The textures and colours of winter.
The wildflowers and blossoms start to appear as the weather starts to warm. Here are a few images from winter that I haven't shared yet.
I am looking forward to seeing what comes with the arrival of spring. The bud burst is almost upon us!

"We must stay alive
to our place in the family
of green and breathing things
that use even our sighs
to make sweetness from light.
What grace. Allow what is simple
to be simple. Accept it as
truth."

"The equality of sentient beings, grounded in the logical irrelevance of the distinction between "me" and "you", is an idea that people through the ages rediscover, pass along, and extend to new living things, expanding the circle of sympathy ..."
Steven Pinker
#ClimateCatastrophe #OneWorld #Bookstodon #Quotes #Nature
"Here lies the land: every air
Beneath swift clouds, glad glints of sun,
Belonging to no-one but itself.
We are mere transients, who sing
It's westlin' winds and fernie braes,
Northern lights and siller tides,
Small folk playing our part."

American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) creating small ripples in the water during a call. I've seen videos in which they are vocalizing so loudly that droplets of water launch off the ripples. This one, however, was just dialing it in. New Paltz, NY. #frog #amphibian #nature #pond #WorldFrogDay

(1/6)Earth Hour will take place for the 17th time on 25.03.23. To set an example, people all over the world turn off the lights at 20:30 local time on this day. 60 minutes for the preservation of the #earth, for #nature and #climate protection and for a clear signal to politics. The joint light switch-off thus becomes a symbol that more commitment to environmental and climate protection is demanded from politics and business. https://www.earthhour.org/
For the second time in five years, millions of fish suffocated in the Darling River. This was not a natural disaster – it’s our doing.
Here are the factors that led to mass fish death and why the Darling is in trouble:

Hi @futurebird, If I got this right you are scientifically into #ants?
I'm investigating/working with #BSF - black soldier flys - right now and wonder if they are just kinda ant queens that skipped the having a nest part and just fly and lay eggs.
Are you aware of any scientific DNA investigation into them?
