Water lilies

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

Alt...

Water lilies floating on dark, reflective water. In the foreground, a striking, fully open water lily stands out with vibrant magenta-pink outer petals fading to a soft yellow core. Surrounding it are rounded lily pads in varying shades of olive green, brownish-bronze, and subtle bright green mottling, resting flat on the water's surface. Small specks of bright green duckweed are scattered across the pads and water.

I'm not using OnlyFans but this is tempting!😆

"The RMBL Marmot Project announced that "the state of funding is so bad we are turning to OnlyFans, or as we like to call it 'OnlyMarms'."

"[It's] almost all G-rated content of marmots playing, being cute, digging, bringing plants to their burrows…normal routine stuff for marmots."
"The occasional scuffle makes it PG rated."

Two hairy caterpillar grasses on spindly stems stand out against bands of black and gray. The darker area is the shadowy border and the gray is a rice paddy but they are so indistinct you wouldn’t know it. The grass heads are backlit and their hairy coats glow. Near the base of both of the stems blade-like leaves jut out at forty five degrees crossing each other.

🦍 Watch and being amazed.

People often enquire about the landscape around us here at World Bee Sanctuary.

Well…if you send a drone up directly above us and do a 360° (which we did) this is what you get…

Farmland and commercial forestry.

Scientists find building blocks of #birdsong's 'spectacular #diversity'

Victoria Gill, July 23, 2026

Excerpt: "This link between the environment and its #NaturalSoundscape, Bacquelé explained, is being transformed by #HumanActivity.

" 'I think this research has opened up a new way to see songs as something [intrinsically] linked with the environment,' he told BBC News.

" 'So, we could try to use these motifs to help us understand how birds could adapt to the new #BackgroundNoise [that we produce].'

"#NaturalSound, Bacquelé added, is an an important part of our own connection to #nature and is worth conserving.

" 'If you think of a #forest, near your town or near your house, you think about the songs of the birds in the morning when you go outside.

" 'And if a bird in a #forest has a specific song, if you destroy the forest, then that song may not be adapted any more to the new environment.' "

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

Keeping honey bees does NOT help our declining native wild bee populations.
In fact keeping honey bees means more bees competing for ever more precious forage.

‘Bees are for life not just for honey.’

- The Bee Guy

#bees #honeybees #nature
#truth #facts #education #science
#worldbeesanctuary #environment

And for those of you who like the wider view…but no matter how you look at it, it’s still a fact, that keeping ever more hives of honey bees is detrimental to endangered native wild bees…so don’t.
Or do…but realise and own your impact!
(For the slow to take a hint and the lazy of mind: Don’t is the better option).

A cloudburst in the Sonoran Desert. Sometimes, the land will turn from baked to flooded in a matter of minutes, which can be quite frightening.

We could really do with some heavy rain round here just now though. There hasn't been a drop in over a month, and we normally get about 900mm a year...

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌸🌿 #Utrecht University researchers studied drill cores from the #UK and Northwest #Europe to track #wildfires during the end-Triassic #extinction 201 million years ago.

Using a new darkness index on #fossil pollen and a fern-to-fern #fire cycle, they found that #CO2-driven #warming collapsed #forests and let #ferns fuel intense repeated burns for up to 300,000 years. The ferns acted as both disaster colonizers and self-perpetuating wildfire fuel.
