I swear since the moment I took this photograph in Bushy Park last week, the sun has gone off in a big huff. Please come back sunshine, all is forgiven. 🤗

Mounted boars' tusks with tulip-shaped bronze bells from near the Heuneburg 🇩🇪 #NationalTulipDay 🌷
No parallels were known from the Early Iron Age, but late Celtic and early Roman examples suggest it was a breast ornament for horses.

The Fens, once the UK's largest lowland wetland, are under threat from environmental change. Examining changes in landscape, habitat, and species from the Neolithic to today underscores the need for integrated heritage and environmental management.

I follow the quiet signs—
deer tracks by the creek,
water moving forward,
small miracles underfoot.
Nature keeps reminding me that renewal is real, that light finds its way back, even after the storm.

I've finished Clue 1 of my first ever Mystery Yarn ALong. A community knitting project run by the designer where everyone gets a clue weekly, which when knitted end up making a colourwork jumper.
This is the #Rujuu sweater, designed by #ZaneteHussain, pattern can be found on #Ravelry.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.
