One of the reasons why I hate this season: since the end of May the fires have started to devastate the island; today alone there were 40 fires (!) for some of which it was necessary to intervene even with Canadairs and helicopters. And it's only the beginning of the season.

Two #Gnaphosidae Photo 1 & 2: Nomisia sp. ♀ was a goog model🥰 Photo 3: Setaphis sp. (♂ ?) was not cooperative and I had to take the photo while chasing it, it was so fast! #Spiders #Arachnida #SpiderFriends #Invertebrates #Photography #Nature

The aroma that is pervading my Sunday afternoon is that of this wonderful white tea, Laos White Forest. Relaxing and comforting ♥ #Tea #TeaLovers #CrazyTeaLady #TeaCorner #WhiteTea #LaosTea #IdentiTea

Let's start the day with something beautiful :) Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus, Plantaginaceae) It's useful for obtaining dyes (dark green and gold). See ALT text for other properties :) Happy Sunday!! #Flowers #WildFlowers #WildPlants #Plants #Snapdragon #Nature #BotanicalCuriosities #Photography

Exausted, and there are still a lot of things I need to do 😵‍💫 Thank goodness Monday is a holiday and I'll have an extra day off!!

Behind a veil it goes down. #Sunset #BlueSky #Photography

In the 3 days hike in March, I found only two very small areas where this #lichen grew and, so far, I have not found it in other areas. Also, things that you only notice when you check your photos: there was a #harvestman right there and I had not seen it! #LichenFriends #FungiFriends #Photography

Juniper (Juniperus sp., Cupressaceae) with ripe "berries" (seed cones). It was once used in folk medicine to relieve digestive or rheumatic disorders; see ALT text for current usages 🙂 hint: it smells GREAT!! #Juniper #WildPlants #ScentsOfTheWoods #Aromatic #Photography #Nature

The King of The Night needed some help. A cat probably caught it :( I'm glad it went unnoticed by people who might have harmed it! Brought it to a specialized center where they will help it fly again ♥ Good luck, little one 🥹 #Chiroptera #Bat #FlyingMammals #Mammals #Nature #Animals #Photography

Diving in a prickle pear flower :) At this time of year, prickly pears are in full bloom and there are so many bees, busy with their flowers, that you can hear their buzzing a few meters away, as if you were near a beehive! #Nature #PricklyPear #Flowers #Bee #Invertebrates #Insects #Photography

Tea is loved for its calming effect, but it's also packed with antioxidants and compounds that boost your health, focus, and longevity. National Geographic talks about the science behind this ancient beverage and its health benefits. #Tea #TeaLovers #NationalGeographic #NatGeo #InternationalTeaDay

Allium triquetrum It's a spontaneous plant but it also grows well in a pot, in case you want to enjoy the beauty of its flowers or grow it on the terrace to use it as an aromatic. See ALT text for its uses :) #WildPlants #WildFlowers #ScentsOfTheWoods #Flowers #Edible #Aromatic #Nature #Photography

"Human, aren't these just your leftovers? Where is my food???" Saw this little furriend while taking a walk, I wish I could give him better food than what they put in his bowl :( #Caturday #Cat #CatFriends #Pet #StrayCat

It's coming this way ♡ Time to go home, brew my tea and enjoy the rain! #Rain #RainiDay #Clouds #CloudySky #GreySky

View of the "Golfo degli Angeli" (lit.: gulf of angels) from the "Sella Del Diavolo" (lit.: devil's saddle) promontory. See ALT text for description :) #Panorama #Sea #View #Photography

I think there's a bug XD I didn't even display the kotatsu today, it just appeared out of nowhere! #NekoAtsume2 #KittyCollector #MobileGame #ねこあつめ2 #Cats #HitPoint

Tarentola mauritanica (common mediterranean gecko)♥ somehow it lost its tail, but it will grow back soon. I love these little critters 🥰 #Gecko #Phyllodactylidae #Reptilia #Tarentola #Reptiles #Vertebrates #Animals #Nature #Photography #ReptilesFriends

Wild cornflower this season is everywhere! Am I the only one who thinks these look like little fireworks? Centaurea cf. napifolia, Asteraceae. #WildPlants #WildFlowers #Asteraceae #Nature #Photography #Flowers #Cornflower

The ball has deflated and she can't play with it. So she poke it. #NekoAtsume2 #KittyCollector #Game #ねこあつめ2 #Cats #MobileGame

Reminder to self: never again climb up to the castle hill when it's 30°C and there's not a cloud in the sky!! 🥵 I want winter back!! #BlueSky #Sky #Photography #Tree #Castle

Synema globosum, #Thomisidae. It's one of the species commonly known as #CrabSpiders, but it also has its own nickname: #NapoleonSpider, due to the pattern on its back that resembles the famous silhouette of Napoleon with his hat. #Spider #Arachnida #Invertebrates #Nature #Photography #SpiderFriends

VIP tickets will be availablesoon!! 🤩 can't wait to see them live again! Italian fans here: @mwamitalia.bsky.social #MWAM #ManWithAMission #HowlingAcrossTheWorld2025 #15thAnniversary #ManWithA15thMission #Europe #Tour #Tour2025 #Music #LiveMusic

I broke my favourite tea mug 😭 it was a present from a person very dear to me, I'm heartbroken. I put the 2 largest pieces back together but the others scattered all over and I can't find some of the smaller ones. It will be hell to put them back together, even just to keep it as a memento.

After the storm, the beach was a thin mirror. Only a narrow strip of sand remained near the seashore. The Sella Del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) promontory stands out on the horizon. #Beach #BlueSky #Sky #Clouds #AfterTheStorm #Sea #Seascape #Mirror #Photography

A rainy Easter Monday means being able to enjoy nature without any impromptu hikers to disturb you ♥ Happy Easter Monday! #Easter #EasterMonday #Monday #Nature #FlockOfSheep #Sheep #Pasture #Clouds #CloudySky #Rain #RainyDay #Photography #Bucolic

Today: pardulas!! 😍 Let's start this holiday weekend with delicious local sweets! 😋 #Pardulas #Easter #Ricotta #Weekend #Sweets

Pandora showing us how to properly spend caturday. #Caturday #Beans #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #CatLovers #PetLovers #Paws #Tortoiseshell #WorkingCats

Along the way home, just before sunset. So bucolic! #Countryside #Landscape #Photography #Fields #Sky

Pisaura cf. mirabilis ♀ Pisauridae. Three different specimens, two of which with ovisac. It's a large spider of no medical relevance to humans, despite its moderate size. #Spiders #Arachnida #SpiderFriends #SpidersOfBluesky #Pisauridae #Photography #Nature #Ovisac #Eggsac

Empusa pennata, Empusidae. #Invertebrates #Insects #Bugs #BugsOfBluesky #Nature #Photography

I like little-traveled roads, those along which the only extraneous noises are those of my steps and my breathing; every now and then I stop to take a better look at the moss, to gently pat an old tree, to contemplate some lichens or, simply, to breathe deeply, listening. Invigorating. #photography

After the rainstorm. Or maybe it's just a break in the storm? #Weather #Clouds #Sun #Seascape #RainyDay #Sky #Photography

A little masterpiece of Nature ♥ Cynoglossum creticum (dog's tongue), Boraginaceae. It was used as a sedative since the 16th century but could also be prepared as emollient, diuretic and antiaphrodisiac. ALT TXT for more. #WildPlants #WildFlowers #ScentsOfTheWoods #Flowers #Photography #Nature

Today's lunch break tea ♡ 😋 #Tea #TeaLovers #CrazyTeaLady #TeaCorner #IdentiTea #TieGuanYin #Roasted

The cistus plants are in full bloom and their melliferous flowers are loved by many insects, both pollinators and non-pollinators (its honey is a delicacy for us too). This Xysticus sp., Thomisidae, took advantage of this 😁 #Arachnida #Spiders #SpiderFriends #Invertebrates #Nature #Photography

The pictures I was taking yesterday when they photographed me crouching in front of that rock. It was an excursion of the arachnophile group, but I didn't limit myself to photographing arachnids 😉 There were lots of cool lichens too! #Lichen #LichenFriends #FungiFriends #Nature #Photography

There's always someone taking pictures of me while I'm crouched down taking pictures of things! They don't know each other but they all do the same thing, and I only find out when they send me their shots 😂 This coincidence makes me laugh 😊 Today there was the arachnophiles' #excursion! ^_^ #Nature

This butterfly, Charaxes jasius, was a wine connoisseur 😏 it was attracted by the bottle and glasses of a very good home-made wine 😃 Photos taken during last summer. #Invertebrates #Butterfly #Lepidoptera #Nymphalidae #Insects #Bugs #BugsOfBluesky #Photography #Nature

My weekend starts now ♥ #Relax #Weekend #Tea #TeaLovers #CrazyTeaLady #Tea #TeaCorner

I feel you, little frog. No late nights tonight! 🥱😪 #Goodnight #Sleepy #TabiKaeru #旅かえる #MobileGame #Frog #TravelFrog

The (tilted) cabin in the woods (I swear the photo is perfectly horizontal)! It was built a few meters from a stream (on the right in the photo, hidden by vegetation) well known in the area for flooding. It is along the cycling path, it was supposed to be a refreshment point. #Photography #Hiking

The facade of the monumental #church of Sant'Anna, in the historic district of Cagliari. Lasting 153 years, construction was completed in 1938 but the church was destroyed during WWII. It was rebuilt without restoring the paintings and interior decorations. #Art #Architecture #Sardinia #Photography

I'm really flattered to be considered worthy of being part of this list of "Fantastic Photographers and Artists" 🥹 Thank you @freshhell74.bsky.social for including me! 🥰

The Moon in a cotton candy sky. Walking home from work, sometimes I get to see very nice sunsets. #Moon #CottonCandySky #Clouds #Sky #Nature #Photography #Sunset

Memories ♥ It's been 9 years and there still isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss them. They were my companions for 20 years of adventures ♥ #Cats #Paws #TabbyCat #TuxedoCat #CatFamily #Furiends

Nothing more typical than a dragonfly on the tip of a leaf of dry rush (Juncus acutus). #Invertebrates #Bugs #Dragonfly #Insects #Nature #Sky #BlueSky #Photography #WildPlants
