Postcard from the field, from our wandering Italian naturalist tour leader, Michele Viganò.

Miki is presently in the Western Sahara, and encountering some seriously cool wildlife - and #snakes in hot places come little cooler than the brilliant Saharan Horned Viper. What an outrageous creature! 🐍

Major sources of hate speech are located outside the US. Well yeah, we have this conversation every few months. And every few months people reject the bright shiny evidence that easiest way to ruin America is to feed the hate and bigotry that already exists here.

I was photographing a globular springtail (Dicyrtomina saundersi) in the garden, when a juvenile "elongate" springtail came scurrying into view. Remarkably, they're both reasonably in focus with this single shot. Two for the price of one! #collembola #mesofauna #macro #photograph

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before
POND RULES: No swimming, jumping or gallivanting. Do not disturb the pond witch. No fishing with dynamite. Sacrifices to water gods on alternate Wednesdays only - NO EXCEPTIONS! Taunt the crows at your own risk. If a hand comes out of the water to beckon you, turn and walk away. Do not feed the weretrout. Is the water burning with cold unholy fire? Report it to the ranger! They’re not ducks. Run. Have fun!

if youre looking for a new social media app im giving upscrolled a try (with a different username, as a test). type of place where 13 likes is doing numbers. discover feed is very political though, if you would like to avoid this use the topics feature. art, anime, and gaming are pretty good

An orange and white Devon Rex is caught mid-meow. He looks like he is screaming. The lighting is dim, so everything has an orange-red hue.

Detox Doodles!

This is my daily sketching habit in an effort to curb mindless scrolling.

This page is about Cobra Chickens, or Canada Geese!

#art #goose #CanadaGeese #bird #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #InkArt
A sketchbook page of 7 drawings of Canada Geese in purple pen. At the top is the text 6/14/25 and Canada Goose. At the top right is a close up of a goose with its tongue out and calling. Below to the left and right are two geese flying with wings down and wings up. At the bottom left is a goose running in attack mode with an exclamation mark above its head. To the right of it is a close up of a goose head with a question mark and Attack? written next to its neck. To the right is a goose in profile with a heart above. To the right of that is a gosling with its wings outstretched.

A different dahlia than one you might normally see, this one's petals look twisted and curled. Shot at the Sky Nursery Dahlia show this past summer, Shoreline, Washington

A close-up of a dahlia that has pink, magenta, and white petals there all twisted and curled up together in a gnarled, but beautiful, mess. It stands on a thin olive green colored stem and the background is blurred.
