The fountain at University of Queensland Lakes. Given the harsh sunlight at the time, I feel it works much better as a black & white image. #art #photography #b&w #blackandwhite #landscape #UQLakes #Brisbane #Queensland #Australia

The existential dread when a Pacific Black Duck x Mallard hybrid realises that its bill looks like a cartoon dog! #Brisbane #Queensland #Australia #birds #ausbirds #AustralianBirds #wildoz #nature #wildlife #birdpic #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Photography #UQ #UQLakes

A small sample from the Queensland 10,000m Championships at the University of Queenlsand last night. Oh & yeh, shooting under the lights there = hmmmm. #athletics #QldChamps #UQ #10000m #race

Sigh. Whatever happened to the days when diplomacy was conducted through diplomatic channels in a professional, tactful, intelligent, intelligible manner? Now we have a fucking moron in a diaper shouting ignorant shit over social media like some drunk shouting in the street after the pubs closed.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

EPIC response.

Wondering how I did it? I boiled water and added two tablespoons of vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. I soaked it for 20 minutes, and after that, it looked the same, so I bought a brand new one.

Oh and I checked out fatcatart.com and it's real, and even better than you could ever hope for!

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
