Colourful turkey tail shrooms growing closely together on a moss covered branch. There's heaps of colours in these little buddies! Green is dominate with stripes of pinky/red, rust, light blue and a hint of yellow.

Light it up for #NautilusNight with an original Nautilus Reading Lamp by Tiffany Glass & Decorating Co. (NYC, USA), bronze & leaded glass, c. 1899-1902. [A later version would use an actual #nautilus shell for the shade.]  Cleveland Museum of Art: clevelandart.org/art/1997.298 #ArtNouveau

official museum photo of the nautilus lamp; Bronze, leaded glass
Overall: 34.5 x 21.3 x 13.4 cm (13 9/16 x 8 3/8 × 5 1/4 in.);
DESCRIPTION Benjamin Hubbell, the architect of the Cleveland Museum of Art, acquired this vase from Louis Comfort Tiffany, with whom he collaborated on various projects. The shape of the nautilus shell provides the perfect space to conceal a light bulb, the newest form of technology at the time. As a result, this lamp was a critical success and sold both in this original form and with the later alteration of a bronze mermaid for the stand and an actual nautilus shell for the shade.

Incredible 🩵 “Toronto’s multibillion-dollar effort to re-naturalize a major river and the surrounding lands, was advertised as one of the “largest waterfront revitalization projects” in the world. … the discoveries have underscored the resilience of ecosystems in the face of human-led destruction.”

LAKEVIEW NOLA (2021-2025)

Four-year-old Lakeview Nola finished first in her race at The Meadows, Vic, on Oct 4 - but fell when entering the catching pen, suffering severe head and spinal trauma.

She died.

How long will it take for Governments to act?

Yesterday’s London outing was very successful. We went to see www.berkeleysquarebarbarian.com/2025/07/22/k...

Part of a Cosmos flower with a centre of yellow stamens and white petals that have splashes of pink at the centre. Near the edge of one of the petals is a black insect with transparent wings.

🌸 Spring has arrived in Australia, meaning native bees are buzzing around searching for food, mates and suitable nesting sites.

Now is the perfect time to provide habitat for our pollinating friends by building a bee hotel 🐝🧪
