beautiful light this arvo

Parkour cat

No more digging in the front its like their nursery. They're a rhizomatous plant, so they've spread everywhere, which is great. They flower all summer and require no maintenance, well, a bit to clear the front step

i thought i was just lucky to see him it turns out red valerian is their favourite plant and my whole front garden is red valerian

put these murdering fucks in or under the nearest gaol acab youtube.com/shorts/ZjDsO...

Their wings move so fast you can't see the big brown main wing with the naked eye, just the little orange ancillary one, and you're like, how the fuck is something that size (1 1/2 inch), flying on wings that tiny

can just see it on mine, but it's clearer on this from someone who had 10k for a 400mm 2.8 image-stabilised lens. Their rear is made up of feather-like protrusions they can fan just like a hummers tail. Convergent evolution is amazing, a bee hummingbird smallest bird on earth & theyre the same guys

i slept in a climbing hut in the lake district for six weeks once and it was full, i mean full of mice i could see hundreds of eyes at night, they ate through my pocket once to eat my trail mix, it was comforting like hanging with a load of little guys, i didnt know about hantavirus then

the mouse pete caught is still here its in the kitchen behind the units its a fucking HOUSE MOUSE why would it leave im an idiot, im ok with it, just worried pete will eat it

how do intelligent design tits (grammerly wanted to change this to theoristst, no clanker i know what i said) explain ticks? Was Satan in charge of the magic animal-making machine that day, or did Jesus make them to pay us back for nailing him to things

Yesterday was the hottest day I think I can ever remember, the hottest night on record, apparently I can believe it, got the fan on high 1 foot from my head all night, same today, May bank holiday is traditionally pissing down, I love it hot, but it's fucking terrifying on a planetary scale

this side view of the little hummingbird hawk possibly shows the little nectarholic clearer but i love that face to face shot (same as earlier)

a tale of two pigeons

managed to lure a pige in close and caught it with my cheap f4 olympus 200mm prime and matched 2x converter seems fine for birds up close

hummingbird hawkmoth just caught them, it may be fuzzy but so's he, always wanted to see one saw them yesterday but was sure what they were and to catch him feeding eye to eye really pleased with this one worth my shitty £20 200mm olympus and £20 2x olympus multiplier by itself

moar poppy, lord byrons frequent plea

these are great, especially in the sun, californian, so they cant get concealed carry permits

eat shit progress, labour together or think labour or whatever the fuck you call yourself , rot in shit nobody will miss you

she roll, for about 25 minutes

after stealing her mouse from her yesterday shes looking for another i wondered why she sits out there

i got given a grow your own shrooms kit (culinary) shitake or something, they turned out pretty shit, and i ake I'm scared of them they look like baby shoggoths

i have strawberries ive got wire and gun towers around them if a slug even thinks about eating one before its ripe im going to thanos the bastards

was awake last night when dawn came up the cat starts demanding to go out i open the door theres a new cat ive not seen before by the gate then 4 magpies came & chased him off just murked him dawns wild cat goes out & the stalin cat is in her garden i lure her away with food but it goes down anyway

getting eyeballed by pigeons again in me own yard and one has the audacity to sleep on the job, stasi with wings

more cat two portraits in monochrome a cat in the spotlight and literally licking the taste of rodent out of her mouth, shes barely touched the whiskers frigging carnage, and something just fell over in the spare room im sure the mouse is still here

sleepy cat. sleepy cat.. no i wont thats better forgotten, i woke up the tiger it wasnt a good move now i have a live mouse in the house. and theyre fast as fuck petes out its dark and the doors open hopefully theyll make a break for it

ill never be comfortable with birds about again i mean i was looking at them but still that pigeons side eye is crushing

finally got a bird to sit still its at the close to the max distance i would ever bother to try to catch a birb without 20 grands worth of 1000mm glass with image stabilisation (this has it in camera but its not the same) and you still have air disturbance, even so its not worthless

*upped the iso to make better use of the light i had

more test shots 2 near 2 far and im blown away, i upped the iso to 200 to get more light so i could stop down one and its even sharper as youd expect, the trees cropped right down still looks ok, chimneys sharp, plants ditto, and the pete shot left from earlier in the day is one of my fave of him

got a £20 olympus 200mm f4 prime a bit ago & after many a shitty teleprinzcoptomaxicon, etc 2x converter i got the olympus 2x matched 2 this lens that usually goes for close to £100 for £25 and I'm amazed, I expected to tell bullfinch from bulldozer but its ok saw a photobomb aphid from 50yrds

Honestly, A. D. Sui's book should enjoy a wide and discerning audience for no other reason than a starship called The Counsel of Nicea. ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2026/05/19/a...

14 muslims shot at prayer, police say no jews were injured though many express fear at what crazed islamists may do to the worlds jews in retaliation, none of whom were involved, police are yet to identify a shooter or motive

i used to use reverse image search for everything, i dont want to type dudes name into google to see if hes dead, reverse image search, boom now with the wonders of AI, the best reverse image search destination is..fucking yandex, thanks obama, tineyes good too which is wild it never was before

"Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million."

Now we just need a credible system to stop them from ending the species, I mean, the rich and their lapdogs might survive, but H. Sapiens Peadophilis and H. Sapiens Bootlickeii aren't my fam
