Enamel orchids (Elythranthera sp.) are endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. These orchids really do have the shiniest petals and sepals you will ever see 💜🩷

Spring is in the air and a young snake's mind turns to love.

Two male Eastern Brown Snakes wrestling to impress lady snake.

These guys are rated as the second most toxic of all snake venoms in the world.

Athens morning.
Morning in central Athens. A lamppost (+ shadows on shutters), two women walking, two men talking. Sprayed on two shutters are the words: FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA and FREEDOM TO PALESTINE. The Greek flag hangs above the sign for Amelias Street.

This is actually a great example of the adorably hilarious comic relief that you get when you foster kittens. 😹
On the left side of the screen are 3 Kittens, staring at the right side of the screen. On the right, the bottom half of a fourth kitten sticks out from the pile of pillows she is in the midst of burrowing into.

Stout is my master jailbreaker from the kitten enclosure. I'll wake up, his sisters are all still where I left them, and he's like this.
A very dramatically happy, sleepy kitten. He's passed out on top of a person's arm, with a little smile on his face and his front paws cuddling up to said arm. The kitten is mozzarella white with tabby markings on his head, tail, and a couple of spots barely visible on his back.

I love this lil crew so much!
A calico kitten with her back legs on a shelf and her front legs on the side of a bed. She has a white chest, bottom of her face, and back pantaloons, and is mostly muted grey with orange elsewhere. She's really fucking cute.

Eastern Spinebill enjoying our callistemon.
#birds
Photograph of a small honeyeater perched on a thin callistemon (bottlebrush tree) branch ending in a bright red flower resembling a bottlebrush. The bird is orange, black, and white, with a long curved black beak. Its red eyes are as bright as the flower. As before, but a tighter crop, and the bird now has its beak buried in the flower as it drinks nectar. With the light at this angle the crown of its seemingly black head shines with iridescence.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Caladenia pusilla (tiny fingers) in open grassland near the Genoa River, VIC. Only one flower out at this location at the start of October - but several more in bud close by. Flowers are very small on this easily over-looked orchid - tip of my little finger included here for scale #orchids #spring

#morningwalk ☀️☀️ yesterday afternoon. Arrived home from our week away at Bathurst race track. It is hot and dry so had to water my vegies straight away. So many fires here atm the setting sun and rising moon were red from the smoke.

When it’s the 1130s and you live in Spain and you’ve never actually seen a camel.
Fresco transferred to canvas of an animal that is apparently supposed to be a camel, painted in the 12th century for the monastery of San Baudelio de Berlanga, near Soria. Now in the Cloisters museum of medieval art in NYC.
