Today marks two weeks that I've been here. I'm liking #Bluesky. I will show my face 😂

This year the farm had their largest portabella in the 15 years of farming them. Coconut compost piles behind on the gound. Foilage, palms, and the Koʻolau Range in the background.

I donated some books to our local library yesterday, for an upcoming book sale fundraiser. It got me thinking how fun it might be to leave little friendly notes inside books I borrow. Hmmm... Might need to try this. 🙂

Through the Arch of Legends

Remains at the Island fortress, Tintagel Castle, long associated with the legend of King Arthur (more in Alt Text)

For this week’s #PalacesAndGardens theme #Myth&Legend
#Cornwall
#EastCoastKin

A weathered stone archway from the ruins of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, England, frames a view of the deep blue sea and a winding cobblestone path under a bright blue sky.

According to Arthurian legend, Tintagel Castle, perched dramatically on Cornwall’s rugged coast, is the birthplace of King Arthur. The story goes that Uther Pendragon, King of Britain, fell deeply in love with Igraine, the wife of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall. With the help of the wizard Merlin, Uther was magically transformed to resemble Igraine’s husband and gained entry to Tintagel Castle. That night, Arthur was conceived, marking the beginning of one of Britain’s greatest legends.

Centuries of myth and storytelling have woven Tintagel into the heart of Arthurian lore - a place where magic, destiny, and the sea itself seem intertwined. The ruins seen today, overlooking the vast Atlantic, evoke the sense that this is where myth touches the edge of history.

Congrats to @tobykiers.bsky.social on her MacArthur Genius award!

I wrote this @nature.com feature on her novel research a couple of years ago.

Invasive palms and WWII damaged an island paradise. Could fungi help to restore it?

Researchers ventured to the world’s most remote island to study how fungi in soils could help to revive damaged ecosystems.

A rugged mountain face in the Eastern Alaska Range with dark, rocky slopes streaked with snow. Near the center, a hanging glacier clings to the cliffs, its lower edge broken into deep crevasses and jagged blue ice. Above, sharp peaks rise into a partly cloudy sky.

Research shows that hatchlings of three endangered species of sea turtles took significantly longer to pass through the sargassum seaweed on their way to the ocean compared to an open beach, leaving them exposed to land-based predators for longer. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #Sargassum
