Good morning & good week from Greece 🇬🇷 For our #orctober theme today here’s one from a new tour we have there in spring, the beautiful Ophrys aesculapii. Please share your own #orctober pics throughout the month to make it a true floral festival (otherwise the feed will be full of orcs).

Tonight's moon, October 5 2025 “really beautiful”

a cool foggy start, an overtime spider web weaving team decorating the entire area, a Hummingbird surprise (they are still here!) and the fall blooming lilac. The little things that I appreciate even more these days. Enjoy the day. #littlethings #daybyday #nature #silentsunday #Lilacs

So, I’m driving along the #WestCoastHighway on #VancouverIsland, #BC 🇨🇦 one day when I make a wrong turn. And this is what I saw. And then I thought to myself: sometimes in life you get off the main road, even if at first it seems like a wrong turn, & something wondrous awaits ✨ #HunterFranklinPics

Here's some trees and water in Portland, OR 💚

Good Afternoon 🕊️ #InsectThursday "Anyone who thinks they're too small to make a difference has never met the bee" #bees #bumblebee #nature #insects

Happy #WaterWednesday … late today, but here now 😉 I hope everyone’s day is going well. Felixstowe, Suffolk, U.K. 📷 last Monday… it was like Summer 😎 #Photography #Nature #Breathe #EastCoastKin #GetOutside #MentalHealthAwareness

This autumn, please consider leaving dead plants in your garden rather than 'tidying' them up. Over the winter they will provide sheltered spots for hibernating ladybirds and lots of other creatures 🐞

Happy #Wrensday friends. Came across this beautiful immature Carolina Wren last weekend and couldn't help but share. So cute! #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #EastCoastKin

A nice surprise along the trail. The birdhouse was not there yesterday.

I've got my Roseate spoonbills in a row. That's a thing, right? 😁 I decided to go paddling even though it was drizzling rain and was rewarded with this pretty spoonbill family hanging out on a neighbor's dock. #Nature #Birds #Wildlife

#FlowersonFriday Gnome amongst the marigolds at Fort Worth Botanic Garden this week. Made me smile #flowers #scape

Initially I mistook this for a small white feather on the grass. On closer inspection, I saw it was a fuzzy, furry caterpillar on an arduous journey. #Stunday #Nature #FarmLife #VideoVignette 🎥 🎵 Cold is comming, Clavier-Music (Pixabay)

In the pole position today, the Snowy Egret, with the Black-necked Stilt bringing up the rear. #Photography #Nature #birds #wildlife

Good morning friends, we're on track for another Easy Sunday. What exciting plans do you have on your easy list? Me, starting the first of these books I just got in the mail. Remember, anything you today, you gotta keep it easy. #EasySunday

Some days just suck. Awakened this AM to find a lethargic Zuzu. Refused food. Just laid on the floor. No energy at all. Got her into the vet. Long story short. Previously unknown 15cm tumor on her spleen had burst. She's been part of our lives for 11 years. Gonna miss her. RIP sweet girl.

This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis

Here’s the foods that are still growing. I still have a lot of 🌶️peppers and the reapers are still green. The red bells are finally turning red! #gardening #organic #growyourownfood

Good morning! Does anyone know what type of animal this is? I saw it across the lake walking on a dried up area. #WhatIsThis

Meals on Wheels update! Today was a mess! Our oven broke, our sealer broke, our fire suppression system broke, we ran out of cooked food multiple times! We still got everything fixed and working and 779 meals, 161 special meals, and 586 frozen meals out the door by noon. Only a little late.

The Panama Graysby. This was a new fish for me, but there were lots of them in Costa Rica. #MarineLife #scuba #photography

My brother and his wife have a vineyard in Nova Scotia. They do all the work themselves; and he renovated / rebuilt the farmhouse (gutting it down to the studs). He just sent me this photo of his "bedroom amongst the vines". 😊

Good morning! For #SundayYellow Some plumeria for you....#photography #blooms

Western Loudoun county (VA) Honeybee escaped at House Paws in Lovettsville. Once she calms down she will come to anyone, esp for food. Please keep eye open for her. Pink collar and chipped. If you find her or see her reply here or message me. I will contact her family.
