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'

Today's gorgeous tree, seen in Los Altos, California.

Alt...

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.

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.

Photograph of three crabapple trees in bloom, the smallest on the left purple, the one in the center pale pink, and the one on the right fuchsia pink. The trees contrast against the hill of very green trees behind. In the foreground, the white umbel flowers of the wood anthrax and their green foliage. Photographie de trois pommetiers en fleurs, le plus petit à gauche pourpre, celui du centre rose pâle, et celui de droite rose fuchsia. Les arbres contrastent contre le colline d'arbres très verts derrière. En avant-plan, les fleurs blanches en ombelles de l'anthrisque des bois et leur feuillage vert.

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

Today i visited a certain #school in our district ,what amazed me that I find young students also carrying out some #gardening activities and also caring for the #environment, this really surprised me that there are also other schools which also do the same like at school
Students were caring some fruits trees and were to be planted in a nearby area where they were some trees but most of them were not #fruit trees

A collage of three horizontal photos, combined into a wide horizontal 3x1 panel. All three photos are close-ups, with a background of grey rock. The first photo has lush green moss on the rock; the second photo shows a small portion of an oak tree's trunk, its bark finely cracked and covered with moss on the right side; the third photo shows lichen and moss on the rock, and some dry oak foliage caught in a spiderweb, seemingly suspended in mid air.

This is a small copse of baby oak trees that I grew from acorns collected in our garden. They are at the start of their third summer, and are now living in a nice field up north.

Small street-side book exchange box beside a quiet village road, with houses, parked cars, trees, and a bright blue sky.

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.

Some of the gardens around the Arboretum. Most of the flowers have come and gone... gotta be faster about these things, still mighty green tho.
