Always need to let it percolate in the brain for a while!

Too bad...that was a good name!

Yeah, I get big bruises that I cannot even remember what caused them 😂

Beautiful blue-green Opal in this new pendant. I have used the keum boo method to bond 24 k gold to the sterling silver dome and then created a black patina to really make it pop. Simple and visually appealing piece! Now in my Etsy shop:

Another beauty at my pond today, this vivid male Blue Dasher is the deadliest predator here, with super fast flight and great pivoting ability!

With vivid teal green eyes, a black and rust striped body and light blue abdomen, this Dragonfly sits on the head of a grass stalk over a pond, resting in its search for prey

I have been to both Hawaii and Iceland to enjoy the volcanic activity there abd learn about the different types of floes! I sure would love to get up a little closer when the lava is flowing! Spectacular 🥰

Amanda Brittin @amandabrittin.bsky.social · Jul 13

Very interesting! Would this be in Hawaii?

Can they get more horrible? Apparently they can...ugh, America is such a mess...

American Robins are likely not anyone's favourite bird, but the fledglings are rather cute! This one came hopping up to me, not yet fully aware of predators!
