I love it that the person who won the Nobel Peace Prize got it for supporting democracy over dictatorship.

And a woman! In Venezuela!

Trump will be totally discombobulated.

At the edge of a densely forested stretch of the Kaipara Sculpture Gardens (this can be quite the hike, don't let the name fool ya), a stunning view of the Kaipara Harbour.

from Sea and Shore, after Rachel Carson

Sunlight, filtering through
a hundred feet of water, makes

a fleeting, bluish twilight

in which dwell sponge and mollusk,
starfish and coral.

Crimson hides in green
the forest holds its breath still
a song waits to rise

A bright crimson male Northern Cardinal with a black face mask perches on a branch. A thin twig crosses over his eyes. Behind him is a soft blur of green leaves.

Searsapple @sparrersway.bsky.social · 1d

Can we have a picture from the UK, please?

Searsapple @sparrersway.bsky.social · 1d

That picture looks like it's from South Germany or Switzerland...
