Thinking of the loss to us of actor Sam Neill... I met him at a 'wrap party' after the completion of a Hollywood film years ago and was so struck at the time by the interest he took in all those gathered around him. A genuine listener. 👍🏼

Every tiny wingbeat helps keep our world alive. A single bee may seem small, but its impact reaches every garden, farm, and future generation. Choose kindness, protect nature, and stand up for the pollinators that feed the world. Every bee matters. 🐝

Did you know? Pink sunflowers are a real and natural thing. Varieties like the Midnight Oil and Strawberry Blonde have petals with pinkish or reddish hues, which occur naturally through breeding and cross-pollination. Original post

The Oregon coast is really beautiful! The end of the beach from the Hobbit Trail.

Some commentating wag @ the World Cup compared Brazil's football team, in their yellow shirts and blue shorts, to Minions. 😂😍 I cannot now unsee it! 💙💛🍌

Nature is sacred & all livings things have souls Angels live among us in the trees & streams, & the gods live in the mountains using the weather to reflect their mood And if you feel a gust of wind in ancient woodland it is the brush of an Angels wing

I would like to thank Graham @oldmanrambling.bsky.social for reminding me about #SixOnSaturday. I keep forgetting. Here are some pretty wildflowers growing in one of our old wheelbarrows. #Oregon #PNW #Plants #Flowers #Wildflowers #Gardening🌱 #Nature #Photography

I have a question for Northern Irish users on @bsky.app 🤔... Bonfires. In July. At the height of summer!? 🔥 Really, though? 🫣 It's hot enough already.

Every bee helps keep our world alive by pollinating the plants that grow the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we depend on. Protecting bees means protecting nature, our food supply, and future generations. 🌍 Save the bees today—because every tomorrow depends on them.

The Nazi SS guards believed they had immunity from prosecution while Hitler was alive, which is why their crimes were so egregious. Once Hitler was dead, the S.S. were hanged. I would suggest ICE Agents in the USA will suffer a similar fate after 'Orange Hitler' leaves. 🍊 Watch your back! 😡

On this day last year, I took a cruise out of Bellingham, Washington state, to see puffins for the first time. There are three extant species of puffin and the ones found near Smith Island are tufted puffins. It was a lovely day out on the water with my son, daughter-in-law, and a good friend.

How many Irish people have ever experienced the wonder of old-growth natural forest in our own country? Given that it now covers less than 0.1% (<1/1,000th) of Ireland, likely only a tiny few. What a terribly sad thought. Allowing surviving remnants to expand naturally should be a *top* priority.
