Black orbs in daylight. A Jackdaw and a Rook. The last two watercolour paintings. #art #sciart #birds

Daylight photo of a watercolour painting of a Jackdaw birdie on a very light cream paper. Seen from the side, facing to the left, he walks over the grassy and mossy area, there is a pinecone, half buried in the soil. The pale eye watches the viewer. I used a lot of silver painting on black base as the bird sports a lot of gray. He gives confident and mischievous vibes.

A photo of a watercolour painting. A Rook perched on a cherry tree branch with a few leaves of orange, yellow and light green shades, as it was autumn when I took that photo I used for reference. He is up high, facing the viewer. Gives out the true king of the hill feel. I like the contrast between the black bird with silver and a bit of blue shine and colourful background.

Notice the little house full of sunflower seeds. Chickadees: hoo-man! food! where?!

Two great tits on a wooden balcony railing wondering where the food might be. I added a rope perch to the corner and that basket that used to hang on that rope from a tree.

Here is the rear side of a great tit demonstrating use of the rope perch while searching for food as they had vacuumed the big bowl.

A great tit hangs sideways on a doormat tossed over the balcony railing, looking underneath it if there's anything to eat.

A great tit in one of the shelves of an ex-vanity table, now a bird feeding station. Looking for food. She is in the top shelf which has also the lowest ceiling and looks down where a big rock is outside for a stepping stone and a square compartment with an empty brown ceramic bowl resides.

So, this day started with purchasing paints and caulk, tending to garden and branches from previous work, continued with painting window frames and beginning repairing the last row of windows. Cleaned the mess afterwards. Oh, and refilled a feeder as a great tit demanded. I made some pancakes.

A white saucer with a pile of small pancakes and a fork. Two small open glass jars with fruit marmalade are set by the dish. I have been doing things around the house still so some are more brown than the others.

This is literally some Anne Frank shit! Americans hiding people from the "Gestapo" ICE to keep them safe.

Autumnal décor, what a range of colours. And once used it can be returned to nature, no need to store anything unless you wish to create some art with it. Leaves 🍁

A pile of colourful maple leaves on a white circular desk. I collected those while returning from the grocery shop. The colours range from yellow, orange to deep reds. I like how it changes with every leaf and some are deep red with slightly lighter veins, some are red with green veins, some are yellow with red veins and so on. As it is freshly fallen, because the day prior the city was clearing leaves and cutting grass, it's so beautiful.

Four leaves with shades of reds and orange. One has dark orange middle and veins while edges are yellow, one is that red with green veins, one has green veins and is of an orange-red gradient, the last one is the deep red edges with red veins.

More neatly stacked pile of leaves.

Leaves big and small, orange, green, red, pink.

Yeah. Well, it looks like the glue from 1982 is much stronger than the material itself. 😅

FlyingFox @trinn4ce.bsky.social · 1d

Oopsie. Well, that's an unfortunate outcome. The particle board is somewhat fragile.

A broken piece of an old particle board furniture. I somehow managed to split one edge, but with the mid-section it didn't work and the board cracked. It's too heavy and tall to just carry it downstairs and squeeze it through the corridors into the basement.

Yesterday I was out till after dark and it was a pleasant walk in a very soft soil across the field. Taking rubber boots helped.

Round thistle head with upper half still full of little blooms and a bee. The sun is shining, the grasses and trees are still green, the sky has some epic clouds though.

Ground level point of view from behind a lush green patch of grass across an empty field towards a line of low hills with a greenish glass highway tunnel in front of them. The sun shines low from below the big long dark clouds that form a curve across the blue sky. The angle also shows a lens flare from the sun in the middle of a photo.

When returning the sun was already behind the hills so most of the land is dark, but the horizon is very colourful from orange to pink, purple, still cloudy but not as dense and dramatic.

Nighttime in the garden. Here is an upside down green cricket sitting on clover plants with closed leaves for the night. The scene is lit with a flashlight and everything is lush green or black.

And I rotated the picture and it's not working, haha.

I need to share this bit while taking a little rest from physical activities. I pulled out a very tall armoire from a small dark storage room and from below it emerged a photo of a lady in her wedding dress. /cont. in Alt

That lady is my mum and that dress was probably burned not so long ago. I have read through the history of my father from school messages on little papers, letters, but not all I discovered and official documents. And I am surprised why this picture. My mum didn't want to see any of it any more.

A dusty square black and white photo of a woman in a short white wedding dress with a bouquet of flowers, standing by the car, with which her husband was obsessed as it is a staple presence in most of the photos through a period of time. It was over sixty years ago.

Morning birbs, doves were figuring out elevated situation for quite some time. 🪶

I have learned that someone going by the handle Barry Gratitude and/or KJ Walker on the Hannibal TV subreddit (and who knows where else) is claiming to own Hannibal props and is selling them, except I OWN THREE OF THE ITEMS he claims he has. Be aware of the scammer! #Hannibal

Being a millionaire there would be a lot of places for introverts to hide in, including secret corners in the garden, in home jungle, in reading nooks, in the attic with a telescope, in castle ruins deeper in the woodland.. et cetera...

A living room jungle in the evening, with an added chair with blue pillow, big cup of tea and artificial light coming from the right from behind the plants.

A glass lamp with green and yellow mosaic. It hangs on its own stick, not on the plant itself.

The huge planter is just a silhouette in this photo from behind the green wall. It has its own lights in the shape of dragonflies. The colour of the light is yellow.

Closer look on the acrylic dragonflies, each is on a separate stem and can be arranged around the foliage.

I replanted two trees. In the end I dragged the black plastic flower pot home manually. And bought just one as it is costly. I can get a cement mixing bin for cheaper, the question is how long it lasts. Testing with a bucket swamp.

Two oversized plants in big pots. One looks like a regular leafy tree, the other like a palm tree. I had to improvise with the pot filling having only one small commercial bag of potting soil. When cleaning I discovered two bags of decorative filling that I used for getting more air to the roots by mixing it in. A pile of bigger pebbles in the bottom part of the pot weighs it down. Both plants are photographed in front of a window on the terrace and I let them soak in the rain for a bit to get the dust off of their leaves.

It is. If there is any chance to get medicated, go for it.

A view from the camera 🪶

Sparrows are busy clearing out the feeding station. It's a low wooden shelving unit painted brown. Sparrows are in low shelves foraging, and in the big ceramic bowl in the biggest compartment, one is sitting on a big rock in front of the furniture. Others hopping around on the terrace. The feeder is set up by the makeshift railing I made of wood that was left in the basement. The main thick planks are very sturdy. Every section looks different due to that. I didn't have enough material of one sort. Yet I felt better when I finally managed to get it from the garage ceiling as a million other things and actually use it. It was slightly moldy and twisted too as most of the wood leff behind.

FlyingFox @trinn4ce.bsky.social · 3d

Sparrow folk before I refilled the feeding station and swept some soggy blobs away. 🪶

FlyingFox @trinn4ce.bsky.social · 4d

I am sorry to hear that this murderous combo affects you these days. It's crippling even the one without the other. 🫣

FlyingFox @trinn4ce.bsky.social · 5d

Yes. Thanks 💚. I would probably place in some bigger chair or something more comfy of course, this is "let's shuffle things around and give some space to those trees, oh and create a corridor, oh and place here something to sit on" phase. 😁

In the garden for a tiny bit. Five hours later I finally went home and made a dairy free hot cocoa drink. Not bad.

I have been polishing a lower level path where overgrown lavenders on the left and a green wall of succulents on the right have been growing. I dug out a little trench along the foliage for slowing the rainwater in running off.

More rosetta-like succulents were replanted to strengthen the flower bed edge elsewhere. Here it shows clusters of plants with rocks arranged around them together with vine twigs. Small lavender plants made their way here too, when I dig something out I plant it on bare spots elsewhere. This edge is low and is also secured with old terracotta pots along the pathway.

Zoomed-out view of the planters area with pebbles, plants, planter saucers with pebbles and a pile of fallen plums in the bottom left corner. It curves to the left and the pathway follows the shape. Right now the pathway itself isn't defined much except by criss-crossing sticks marking the outer edge, pushed down into the soil, because animals would demolish it. I am often marking newly planted greenery with available sticks. It helps protect it too, so I use anything in reach.

A big white bloom with a yellow middle of a daisy. Flowers keep going.

It can recombine, go off on its own & break up into more slimes, fruit, form a sclerotium, or bleb off tiny amoebas. Some slimes intentionally drop pieces of themselves to reach new places.

If you see a non-fruiting slime, you can take a piece as a pet and neither piece will be bothered one bit

Good morning! 🌅
I hope you have an amazing Monday 😃

FlyingFox @trinn4ce.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you 💚🌱. These are my mum's and my sister's, one of those that's touching the ceiling was mine. They would use heavy and big pots and support, I was thinking about going out and buying one, but thinking about it further it will be easier to order online than dragging it from the store. 😅
