Tomorrow I fly back to the Lofoten Islands in the Norwegian Arctic. Last year the first night we arrived I filmed this outrageous combination of full moon rainbow combined with Northern Lights. Hard to imagine how this year could top it, but fingers crossed!

FWIW, declaring martial law does not stop elections. Trump abuses his power when people believe he can. If enough of us erroneously believe it, it only gives him more power.

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

I'm just gonna post a piece of my art from my files every day til the New Year because WHY NOT. Here's a colored pencil piece I did in 2021.

Great Egret at Doran Beach, Sonoma County, California I snapped this one driving by at 25 mph 😃 #photography #art #sunset #birds

We love a good unken reflex! Here our friend the Rivera Redbelly Toad is showing off the brightly colored parts of their body to convince a predator that they are not good to eat! They are a redbelly toad who lives in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay! (photo by lufefo)

This is one of my favorite sets in my collection. Somewhere out there in the 1960s, a kitten and bird were pals. 💕

Me (many years ago): Yay I found some good old fashioned vintage net curtains for my flat! My cats: Yay indeed!

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Evelyn® Its large, shallow-cupped blooms, each boasting over 100 petals, display a soft apricot hue often tinged with pink, creating a romantic and nostalgic appeal. The fragrance is a standout feature—rich and fruity, reminiscent of fresh peaches and apricots, layered over a classic Old Rose scent.

If you're curious what that costume looked like before the cops tackled her and arrested her for lewd conduct.....

Also, we had naked cowboy so that counts triple, right? Golden, CO 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Jason Dain in Canso, Nova Scotia, Canada, captured this image of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon). Thank you, Jason! buff.ly/NX29Xrm Have a photo of your own to share? Submit it here! buff.ly/jJI1OxG

Like this!! They deserved to be mocked at every opportunity. We need to spotlight their ridiculousness and weirdness.

COVER REAVEAL MEET VAMPURR Her fur shines blacker than a raven’s feathers. Her eyes glow greener than a witch’s brew. But most unusual of all are her long, needle-sharp fangs. This is her story... In bookstores on 7/6/26 Written by me, illustrated by the incredible @lennywendraws.bsky.social

Today is Blessing of the Animals Day in churches throughout the world. But really, it's the humans that need help. Animals all have clean souls. Photo: Reuters.

This is one of the saddest photos I have because of the writing on the back, “Bob due to leave for Army, watching TV”. 1967. No further info.

Luminous! Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Hate to do this but I only had two orders this month and I'm overdrawn so if you could boost or check out my shop that'd be a great help! thanks anaisfae.art/shop/

On #publiclandsday celebrating some of the public lands I manage with a team of excellent natural resources professionals for the benefit of people and wild things! St. Vrain Creek.

Mia will be killed tomorrow. This #furry baby needs a strong foster to save her! She’s struggling in the shelter! I need her reposts to be increased so if you can take a sec to repost her- I’d appreciate it! She’s not Trump and Epstein or Ryan Routh but she’s worth a REPOST AND MENTION! Pls!

My 7th grade social studies teacher was a cool butch lesbian who kind of looked like Dennis Leary and she once told us "the more you know, the more jokes you get" and needless to say she really made an impression on me

Grainy, rough but beautiful lol I like this kind of shot #puffins #wildlife #photography

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

because Monday I’m stepping back to Sunday #NatureInBed

Keep soaring with morals, goodness, and strength of character.

We need to focus on #Epstein today folks... Charlie Kirk is dead now and it is no longer news we care about.

Someone asked about how I know if I have a new species. I don't, ever. The most very basic ecology of fairy shrimp and friends has never been done for Florida, so we don't even know how many DESCRIBED species are there. I just document everything. Maybe someone in the future will do that part.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot
