BOYCOTT WALMART

1/ "We fought, we are fighting, and we will fight, no matter what, for the statehood and unity of our Ukraine... And as long as even one occupier remains on Ukrainian soil, the national liberation struggle will continue until the complete and unquestionable Victory of the Ukrainian Idea and Arms.

Did anyone else used to fish in the reservoir just outside Media PA back in the 80s/90s, before they stopped access?

Old pic from when I was growing up in PA 1990s. These are Rudd that were caught in Geist Reservoir, Delaware County, PA. Most interestingly, they were never recorded as living in this reservoir, yet here they are.

Good morning all

A nice Cyclamen hederifolium in garden

Tons of these still flowering

Hi BlueSky - saw a bunch of these near me on Friday night… they are very rare in the UK now… Glow worms

Very hot here today… hover flies all over this fennel

One of the weirder flowers I have… people from the Caucuses may recognise. Just starting to come out

Hi BlueSky - some native terrestrial orchids in the UK 👍🏼

Am I treating mutant has appeared… a double flowered Feverfew plant

This is really shitty and evil thing what 🇺🇸 now did for Ukraine 🇺🇦 Many Ukrainian civilian lives would have been saved with these cost effective missiles ..

First Pyramid Orchid of the year spotted (that tiny pink/purple flower in the middle) - it was over a ditch, so couldn’t get a better picture

Good morning Blue Sky. As a change, I thought I’d show some British foods you may or may not be familiar with. Trust me when I say it’s actually really good - it doesn’t deserve a bad reputation 😊

Just seen my first Stag beetle for the year

Hello 👋🏻

Nature will reclaim an area faster than you think. Less than 100 years ago, this was an industrialised area. All that remains are a few rocks that were in the foundations of a mill 👍🏼

Going to try a Schefflera taiwaniana outside this year. I had hardy cactus over-winter outside last year, hopefully this will be ok too

Every single plant seems to have at least 1 😊

I haven’t seen so many insects in the garden for a long time. I suppose the co editions have been good for them this year - tons of bees

Hi 🫡

A simple strand of grass can create beauty - learn to look at the small things more, they can surprise you 🫡 Good morning BlueSky

Hi Blue Sky 🫡

Morning Blue Sky - this one’s not fully out yet, but looks like it might be quite cool

Morning Blue Sky 👍🏼

New friends for the pond ♥️ These are called Rudd - Latin name Scardinius erythrophthalmus

This one just looked perfect to me - have a great Friday 🫡

In 2023, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund bought out Steve Witkoff's faltering investment in New York’s Park Lane Hotel for $623 million.

Good morning Blue Sky

And this one has just opened up
