Birches 1, Autumn Showers, oil pastel, 24.5 x 18, 1998 © Bernadette E. Kazmarski From the time I met the paper birch in our front yard I have always been fascinated by the delicately detailed white bark of birch trees etched with deep contrast gray and black seams and splits.

OC . . I've been having a hard time making art. I was finally able to draw something from scratch without feeling stressed about it. #ocart #sketchbook #sketch #oc #ocs #ocbsky

Finished "Bee Butterfly Bush" painting. Oil paint on panel. There were butterflies on the same bush, but the bee didn't mind posing for photo reference.

Koala 🐨 A heat-stricken koala near Adelaide, struggling to cope with soaring temperatures, approached a group of cyclists and was offered water, if providing a Koala water you must let the Koala drink rather than pour water into their mouth as you could inadvertently pour it into their lungs.. 🐨💦

Gosh, what a beauty!

Downy Woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens): This is the smallest species of woodpecker found in North America. They are found in the forested areas of the continent, particularly deciduous woodlands, excavating a nest hole themselves. Photo taken by Kimberly Brown in Mitford, Michigan, USA. #woodpecker

Skies across Stirlingshire today. @stormhour.com

Sunday serenity - Brighton on the horizon - after greyness and gales. Should add this is a May memory of brighter days 💙 #photography #clocksback #bluesky #beach #southcoast #photohour #england @stormhour.com

If there's one constant in this universe it is that US is always at war or preparing for war with one country or the other.

I gasped at a glimpse of today's skies reflected over shimmering water of Thane creek (from the train window during commute). All is not lost yet 😊. Despite all that life throws at u, if u can still be awed by simple sights like this, all is not lost yet. U are stillcharmed by nature & its wonders

Why can't the Louve robbers get and release the Epstein files and put us all out of our misery?

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean. 6 people dead this time. Not a single arrest made. Not an ounce recovered. Not a shred of evidence provided.

Also, outside of TV/movies, it’s these guys:

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

But there are many ways to face the dark. One is to hide. One is to prowl. One is to bring the bright music of your body and offer it to the night. - Crickets by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Just disgusting.

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons. It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets. Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Cucurbita pepo is one of the oldest domesticated species. Over millennia, it has proved astoundingly versatile. Just as Brassica oleracea gave us broccoli, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts etc, C. pepo morphed into the pumpkin, zucchini, delicata, pattypan, acorn, yellow squash and more!

All these countries and their participating libraries/universities are so incredibly lucky to get access to all kinds of films. Meanwhile here there exists libraries that struggle to run year old fundraisers to be able to afford basic furniture. Sigh.

Diwali fireworks of a different kind. Finished watching Hard Boiled last night. A lot of bloody shootouts & action but you never ever feel it's all staged or scripted. Also, how young Tony Leung looks in this movie. #filmsky

So true 😀 Science is the truth.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Going down the Tiger Twitter rabbithole & watching Bloodline of Tadoba Tigers on Youtube I found that the male beasts had badass names like Matkasur, Bajrang, Yeda Anna etc giving off gangster vibes while the tigresses had docile names like Maya, Tara, Sonam 😂 although they were no less ferocious
