Horizontal image of a path on a hill in a lush green forest. The path is rather broad, but mostly overgrown with grass. The ground rises from the right to the left. In the foreground branches create a natural frame.

This is a landscape photo taken on an accessible path that passes through an urban wooded area. The foreground captures the late evening sun that is cutting through the trees on the left creating perpendicular shadows on the trail's surface. The trees ahead arch over the trail creating a "tunnel effect" looking into the distance. The centre of the frame is a vibrant green colour from the trees and bushes that lie ahead.

An end of school year event is happening tomorrow.

A child cannot get to sleep. Excited and a bit worried.

We go for a walk round our #garden

Look at the #trees and the flowers.

The pines and firs, aspen and silver birch.

Then the holes in the ground at the far end of the plot where rodents live.

We're in the here and now.

I say "You have to go to sleep in order for tomorrow to come.

But, the funny thing is tomorrow never comes because when you wake up we call it "today" instead."

Another #ThickTrunkTuesday, another local tree obliging.

A tree in a font yard, very close to the street, with a very thick trunk and also some thick branches going off toward the left, from not very high up on the trunk. It looks sort of dramatic on this gray day, towering over everything.

A photo of the left page of a portrait-format black paper sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a snippet of a painting, a gouache tube, a paint brush, coloured pencils, fluorite crystals, branches, and leaves. The sketchbook page is titled „Symbionts of Betula ignea“ and shows a colourful illustration of the fictional tree as well as close-ups of three symbionts. The tree itself is a twisting birch with a distinctly flame-shaped crown, golden foliage, and grey bark. Small purple and teal mushrooms grow on its trunk, and golden moss at its base. The close-up of the oblong, glowing purple mushrooms reads: Coprinus luminosus (Luminescent Coprinus). The close-up of the moss reads: Plagiothecium aureus (Golden Sheath-Moss). The close-up of the small teal glowing mushrooms reads: Psilocybe caerulea (Cerulean Flesh of God). Under the tree a note reads: „Habitat: temperate deciduous forests“.

As the dunes have shifted over time, this tree manages to live standing on three feet of exposed roots.

Experimental #archaeology tests possible medicinal use of birch tar by Neanderthals:
'This supports a coevolutionary relationship between medicinal and technological use and production of birch tar during the Pleistocene. The antibiotic properties documented in this study are consistent with the use of birch tar as a wound dressing and skin ointment in Mi’kmaq communities in Eastern Canada, and the use of birch tar in Saami communities of Lapland'

A tree, probably a Jacaranda, with lots of lovely purple flower clusters. The ground under the tree has a lot of petals from blooms that have fallen. The tree is in the front yard of a single-story home.

Yesterday, my husband and I still decided to go for a walk in the evening. It was still no dusk but we were followed by 8 cats! 7×🐈 1×🐈‍⬛This was a picture!

We just came down the street and then up and back.

As we were still in ⁨#Germany⁩ and had "only" four ⁨#cats⁩ and ways to strive through nature, we came really far.

Hopefully we'll find a new ⁨#home⁩ close to ⁨#nature⁩ again soon.

Do you have cats who follow you?

It hit 90f/32c. Yes, it's hot. Even though tree shades help, I had to bring Kengo in after a while. Tomorrow will be even hotter, they say. Stay cool where it's hot. One more day.

This is a landscape photo taken in late Spring on a hiking trail in a mature forested area. The soil covered trail is fairly wide and flat in this section with a mix of trees and low level vegetation on both sides. The trees in the area are quite tall resulting in a vibrant green canopy being captured in the photo.

From #Arctic heat to #megafires, #WMO report shows climate change completely reshaping #Europe

By Andrei Ionescu, 6/2/2026

"In the far north, climate change is not some distant warning anymore. It is already reshaping the landscape.

"Across Alaska and Canada, Arctic and boreal regions are warming up to four times faster than the global average.

"That puts a huge amount of pressure on #ecosystems that have long helped slow climate change by pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and storing it in #trees, #shrubs, and #soil.

When forests stop helping

"The trouble is, those ecosystems do not always stay helpful under stress.

"As wildfires grow more intense, drought becomes more common, and other disturbances spread, parts of the north may start giving #carbon back to the atmosphere instead of locking it away.

"Once that happens, the whole climate system becomes harder to stabilize.

"That is why scientists care so much about #biomass, the total amount of living plant material across these landscapes."

Tall straight trees are seen growing close together in a forest. The trunks of the trees can be seen as well as the mulch covered ground but the tree tops are out of view. This is a black and white image.

A photo of the left page of an open, black paper sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by gouache tubes, coloured pencils, a paint brush, crystals, and leaves. The sketchbook page features three paintings of fantastical trees, the top left one vaguely mushroom-shaped with purple foliage and small blue mushrooms, the right one with hanging, willow-like, teal foliage and yellow fireflies, the bottom left one with vaguely fire-shaped and coloured foliage. Little swatches are visible next to each tree.

A council of crows convened on the tree in the neighbor's yard.
From the remaining branches of a tree, they had a lively discussion
A contractor had pruned many of the majestic branches
and left these branches of the tree in a pile

A crow spoke up, declaring what has happened here was no accident
The other crows continued to echo this call for action
This tree has weathered great storms of our many generations
This tree has protected and provided us with many fruits
The branches removed can never been replaced

In these uncertain times
What happened to this tree shall be remembered
A garrison of mosquitoes has been activated
And some are already on patrol
We must remain vigilant and protect those who have protected us

This is a landscape photo taken along an accessible access way to a beach on a larger lake. The accessible pathway material has been placed on top of the sand. It is blue in colour and extends from the foreground to the middle of the photo. Sandbanks are on each side with some grasses growing. A few deciduous trees which are starting to bud can be seen on the right side of the photo. The sky is blue with some white clouds visible.

This is a landscape photo taken on an accessible hiking trail that runs through an urban forested area. The overarching colour is green as the new leaves for the spring season have appeared. A shorter retaining wall is on the right side of the trail due to the slope in the area. A mature tree anchors the photo on the left side with the paved trail passing to it's right. Bright vibrant shades on green can be seen in the upper portion of the photo due to sunlight filtering through the trees. Shadows can be seen on the trail's surface.

This is a very manecured place. It's part golf course to keep the Tesla and Corvette drivers busy and off of the highways during the day, but if you walk out far enough, you can still find some rustic rather untouched wilderness, my kinda stuff.

I did end up walking out of the woods and finding Mallard lake right in front of me and beyond it, part of the golf course itself, but it was a pleasant surprise to walk out of the woods after half a mile of walking and "BEHOLD... LAKE".

Oh yeah and happy first post on the new instance. Holla back y'all, my ego needs it.
