We saw our first little red eft of the year today. If you see one please do not pick it up! Their skin is highly porous and the salt, oils, lotion, sunblock, bug spray, etc. from your hands can make them sick. Use a leaf to move them if they must be relocated for their safety. ❤️

While on a coastal hike, yesterday. #Newfoundland, Canada. #hike #trail #ocean

I just saw the statistic that only one in five people who are getting a pet rescue, and my dislike of humanity just doubled, which is really saying something. #adoptdontshop

Such kindness.

This was my first time photographing a river flowing through a cave! Once inside, I knew I wanted to feature the backlit moss and somehow I managed this in a single exposure despite the tricky light. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #vancouverisland

We can’t all be beautiful, some of us have to be content with being too large to be carried off by a giant bird

Today's backyard sunrise. Nice to see some blue!

For #ButterflyWeek 🦋 [Posted prior, but think it will be better received by you lot.] Part 1/2 The hatchery is my fave part of any #butterfly conservatory. This day I was watching this #monarch #chrysalis gently wiggle. On the left side and you can see it beginning to open. #EastCoastKin #ECK

Joy doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

Water surged through parts of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and a resident's basement apartment flooded as Chicago saw more than half its average April rainfall in a single day Tuesday. A flood watch remains in place through Wednesday.

Hawaiʻi’s farmers have been hit hard by the Kona lows. I’ve seen flooded fields, lost crops, damaged roads, ruined equipment, and families asking the same question: can we recover?

More!

In the Kahuku Unit of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, the sky is never just a backdrop. It’s part of the landscape...shifting, breathing, and telling its own quiet story. HPPA's Christine, who stepped out of the visitor contact station & park store, didn't want you to miss this moment. #HawaiiSkies
