If electric shock collars are going to be banned (IMHO rightly) for dogs, what will the situation be for cattle on no-fencing grazing schemes and conservation rewilding areas? Electric fences good, shock collars bad?

Shabby chic.

Do both. And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns. Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.

Am I the only person who, on seeing Erika Kirk, instantly has a vision of her with spear and horned helmet, singing Wagner arias?

I wish I was not such an insomniac that I tend to get to sleep just before others get up to witness these wonderful dawns.

✨ Happy Winter Solstice ✨ #animalart #wolves #pagan

Happy Winter Solstice ya Pagans…. It only gets lighter by the minute now 🙏🏽👍🏽😎

My favourite Christmas music from northern Italy. immanuelsground.com/ensemble-del... I saw them 25 years ago; never forgotten. In memory of Maurizzio Martinotti RIP.

The local pub used to be the warm space in our village. The elderly would often spend the evening in the pub "using 'their' leet and electric" for the price of a "sneck-lifter". A sneck-lifter half pint wasn't £3 though. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A break from politics: Aurora magic.

Stunning.

I. Despise. Him.

It has been a few weeks since Stanley was put to sleep. I still can't get used to opening the car boot and letting out Huckle and there not being two Irish wolfhounds getting out of the car. Strangely, It's the only time I really miss him.

It would be great if fewer doctors insisted on the "Try ignoring it and taking pain killers for a few days" step before trying anything else. I'm a middle aged guy. Of course I've already tried ignoring it and hoping it would go away. It's what I do with all my problems

Trump's support for Putin disgusts me.

The stunning colours of nature. Wonderful.

Good morning Bluesky. Pastels for miles. Enjoy the soft and gentle ebb and flow of this scene.

I love the all colors in this one #1124 taken 7:29 am #photography #macro #abstract #abalone

The United States and Russia have officially formed an alliance against Europe, Ukraine, and Canada.

Beautiful, but I'm still trying to work out what I'm looking at and where it's taken from.

Sadly relevant today.

For an ever so brief moment, distant icebergs and mountain ranges in Greenland's awe inspiring Scoresby Sund fjord are dressed in some of the most beautiful pastel colors I have seen. #bluesky #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #naturephotography #travel #nature #sunset #greenland

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable. Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

A calm little find at a loch in Rothiemurchus. Exploring till I found something to photograph. www.AndyMacD.co.uk #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #Autumn #fineart #Scotland #nature #Crannog #Rothiemurchus #island #calm #water #loch

Fractals in nature again.

The Fighting Temeraire for the 21st Century. Wonderful photo.

Exactly ⬇️ This 💯......

Nice to put a mountain to a bagpipe tune name. Beautiful mountain, beautiful photo.

Am I the only one with a favourite tree? 😂 #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #WoodlandPhotography @thephotohour.bsky.social

Still in use 30 years ago to my knowledge.

Went for a waterfall; fell in love with a puddle #Stunday #OrangeSun #EastCoastKin #Autumn #NaturePhotography

In my experience, Bipolar is a sleep disorder.

Jeezus christ on a cracker! Living on earth has certainly lost its appeal. ground.news/article/scie...

Is it just me or is packaging a nightmare? I just spent 15 minutes trying to unwrap a wooden rake handle. 4 rolls of cardboard taped together with tape that took a sharp Opinel knife to cut, followed by4 layers of wrapping paper. I am exhausted and lucky to keep my fingers; all for an F-ing rake.

The sea and sky changes every instant, you just have to be there to see it...

Wonderfully lit.

I really like this and I don't know why.

Not a clue what it is but that's half the pleasure. Beautiful.

What do pink Panthers eat? Durum, durum. Durum, durum, durum... But not Italian Durum wheat pasta in America.

The last light of day in the open air is my favorite liminal space. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Evening all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments. #photography #sunset #lighy

Sweeping up for Remembrance Sunday with a neighbour who commented on her joy that the Beech tree outside her house had finally shed all its leaves. The relief at the Relief of Mafeking tree.

I wish I could go to sleep for another winter. Autumn in one picture. Lovely.

Russian sleeper?
