NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

Lovely job for @nationaltrust.org.uk Dinefwr: for every xmas they commission a local fibre artist to create tree decorations of the wildlife on site. But they realised they'd never told the public about the decorations. So they commissioned me to illustrate & create interpretation panels:

This is beautiful. During the last year, I often shared posts from this account with my dear friend. She loved trees and loved art, and reminded me to find joy in the simple things in life. Thank you @womensartbluesky.bsky.social for providing comfort to us both. I keep sharing in her memory.

Megalithic Locmariaquer #standingstonesunday - The Grand Menhir Brisé and the capstone of the nearby Table des Marchands. The capstone, with an engraving of an axe was re-used from another broken menhir, likely from the same alignment as the Grand Menhir. Such an impressive site.

Lucky to spend #tombtuesday waliking among the Carnac alignments. Photo 1 - dolmen on the western edge of the Kermario alignments. Photo 2 - menhir on top of burial mound at Le Manio.
