Today is winter solstice ❄️
A perfect day to align with Earth’s rhythms and find peace in winter’s beauty.

Betty said I'm pretending to be a meerkat in this photo.
I don't even know what a meerkat is so how can I pretend to be one?
It's quite difficult to understand humans sometimes.

Canada Geese Chicks (growing up fast) and their protectors. The chicks congregate and many Canada Geese step up to protect all of the chicks. It is not odd to see two adults with 30 to 40 goslings.

For all of Farage’s bombast and bravado, Reform is basically just a retirement home for disgraced Tories - and the media should be reporting it as such
Farage’s Tory recycling scheme

Boxing day hunts to be thing of the past with trail hunting set to be banned
Trail hunting sees a scent laid out for the hunt to follow rather than a real animal, and was introduced as a replacement for fox hunting, which was banned by Labour in 2004

The magic time: rest, recovery and renewal

Shot of the sun setting yesterday along the alignment line for Winter Solstice which is tomorrow, sunset is pretty much in the same place a day or 2 either side of the 21st and we very rarely get the conditions to catch the sun on the horizon 🌅

The family who lost their 10 year old daughter during the Bondi shooting were immigrants from Ukraine. This child was their first born in Australia, and they called her Matilda because it was the most Australian name they could think of. Matilda's little sister, Summer saw her die before her eyes 💔

The solstice marks the onset of winter & the shortest day of the year. The winter solstice is the symbolic death & rebirth of the Sun. The Celtic people of Britain celebrated Yule & the returning of the light #wintersolstice #yule #otd
