This capybara wandered onto a mossy rock to investigate fallen leaves and curious little seed pods. He's taking his time, the way capybaras do best. No rush, no worries, just a quiet moment in the forest.

I found a fungus! 🍄📷

Photograph of a very large polypore bracket fungus that has grown around several slim branches which makes it look like the branches have skewered the fungus.

Looking up 💕🌸✨

#WhimsyWednesday

Looking up a tree trunk, covered in patches of green moss and lichen. There are rows pink and purple petals of violet-toothed polypore fungus up the trunk, as well. The bare branches fade out of focus against the gray sky above

Star Trek Minus Context

@nocontexttrek1.bsky.social

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW."

(Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)

Alt is still in pic one I promise I'm not lying to you go check it'll be there trust me

#Birds #Grouse and today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BrownIsBeautiful. This ruffed grouse in winter camo was caught on a backroad going after some grit for it's crop.

A mottle brown bird with an upright crest is walking to the left across a graveled road. The bird's crest is dark brown with tiny white spots, the tail is grey with brown bands, the back is brown with white flecks. The neck & breast feathers are a bold pattern of dark brown, ochre & white.

Is a common chiffchaff brown enough for a #BrownIsBeautiful #BirdoftheDay 🤔
This one was darting about a buddleia bush looking for insects on a cold but sunny January day a couple of weeks ago, the few moments it did sit still it was quite fluffed up.

Think this Slime Mould might develop further which might help identify what it is. Maybe a badhamia.

Here’s a close-up and a look at the same trunk a week ago when the sporangia was still to descend.

Two more velvet shanks: one cluster and one single. Their colour is just gorgeous, isn't it? Standing out against their drab backgrounds. Wonderful find on a freezing winter's day.
