“There’s no revolution without love.” — Diego Luna

This is a box of happiness.

A moment of mother’s love. #deer #mammals

It is getting harder to see it these days, but I always hold on to this quote from Samwise in LOTR: "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

I missed #SquirrelAppreciationDay 😱

A pretty Green pebble 💚😍 Possibly a piece of porphyritic rhyolite?? Worn down on an Atlantic stormbeach. County Clare, Ireland.

This is the kind of majestic beauty I needed this week. #mammals #wildlife

Grey wolves

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end! It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

Mr. Raccoon’s New Year resolution is to maximize his cuteness with close up whiskers photography. #raccoon #mammals #WildlifePhotography

Nigel, our adorable prehensile-tailed porcupine, melts when keeper Adrienne finds that special spot right behind his ears. Quills relaxed, eyes soft, expert-level scratches achieved. 💙

A nice moment with my raccoon friend is great way to end the year. #raccoons #mammals #HappyNewYear 🦝

How I’m walking out of 2025.

Raccoon would like to order a dozen eggs— one disappears too quick. #raccoon #mammals #wildlife

“My preciousss….” #raccoon #mammals #wildlife

Look at this handsome raccoon. He is wondering if egg is on the breakfast menu today. #raccoon #mammals #wildlife

A #painting I did in Ireland's County Tyrone. "Weir at Sion Mills" came after a perfect night in Strabane where the next day I was brought to the attractive village of Sion Mills to see the weir. I did the painting before cycling on to Derry and beyond Ballykelly. #art #SpeirGhorm #ArtAdventCalendar

Camera glitch? or Did Squirrel discover a Grape of Invisibility?😄

Quiet places

Mrs. Rosie the raccoon sure is making herself comfortable on my porch. #raccoons #mammals #wildlife

Seals singing in a sea cave #Orkney 🦭🎧

Pine Marten has a brisk autumn hop to his step. #PineMarten #mammals #wildlife

Mr. Raccoon is perfecting his begging face. Yes, I did cave in and feed him. #raccoon #mammals #wildlife

I ran out of peanuts so had to appease Mrs. Squirrel with an apple. #squirrel #mammals #wildlife

Ahhhhh!!! Pine Marten berserker! #PineMarten #mammals #wildlife

Tangoing Trees! #Trees #Dancing #Tango

Wait for it…PINE MARTEN ATTACK! #PineMarten #mammals #wildlife

What's it like inside your head?

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

Look at this beautiful creature! #PineMarten #mammals #wildlife

I just bought my 6 year old a dictionary. Does this make me a Luddite in these crazy times? 📚

This is hypnotizing!

Ran into this young muskrat out enjoying an evening snack at the local wetlands yesterday. #wildlife #muskrat

let the gourd times roll

Happy #RaccoonAwarenessDay

I made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that are sugar free, gluten free and egg free. They taste shockingly good considering all the alterations. #cookies #GlutenFree #pumpkin #baking

Today is caturday…? #raccoon #caturday

Happy Sea Otter Awareness Week! 🦦 Sea otters’ paws are incredible tools, thanks in part to their semi-retractable claws and Libby’s got paws made for action! 🐾 Full of energy and curiosity, she loves showing off during training sessions.

Ummm…a little too close Mr. Raccoon. #raccoon #mammals #WildlifeCamera

Mr. Steller’s Jay is very suspicious about this iPhone siting by his pile of nuts. #StellersJay #birds #nature

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

“Is this restaurant open for breakfast yet?” #deer #mammals #wildlife

The world has gone mad, so I recommend having a long stare at this blob of tree sap and its tiny galaxy of light. #trees #nature #photography
