Not sure what to name this one... I can't decide whether the ominous clouds are approaching or departing.

Thoughts?

Ominous clouds of red and black loom above a quiet landscape with a bright centre. A tree by a pond seems to be the lone witness of the fantastical scene

A Fig wasp (𝑪𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒔) found in a fig from the Cluster Fig (𝑭𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒂).

Female fig wasps shed their wings while entering a fig and die after depositing eggs.

Each species of fig has its own unique co-evolved fig wasp for pollination.

#nature #photography #insects #entomology
A fig wasp viewed under a compound microscope with magnification of 50×. The thread-like structure from her abdomen is the wasp's ovipositor, the organ for depositing eggs. No wings are seen as they are shed as the wasp enters the ostiole of the fig. The wasp's exact species was identified by identifying the host plant (𝑭𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒂) since each fig has only one specific wasp that can pollinate it.

"The Sword That Waits"

Lodged in stone, hidden among lost woods and forgotten falls, she waits. She waits for one of love, strength and virtue, the one worthy to borrow her power. Power that rivals the tallest waterfalls.

#bskyart #painting #fantasy #sword #legend #waterfall
A mighty sword, her silver blade lodgedinto grey stone, and her golden hilt reaching for the skies. Behind her, a waterfall half as mighty as her, both hidden deep in lost woods

A latté before the sun wakes up ✨

Oat milk— goodness, it might as well be elixer! Am I right or am I right?

Hoping you have a great day ahead 💜

Something I learned recently, after I learned how to love myself, is that self love needs to be practised a lot to be internalised.
I learned the 'how' of self love, but I don't always do so.

Keep loving yourself 💜✨
Also, here's a whirly latté I made

"Dystopic"

I had made this bookmark a while back for a friend who's into dystopian fiction… but now that I look at it, there is but a thin line separating it from reality.

The world needs hope... it needs compassion. It starts with us.

Did this quick sketch ✨

Being a hero preceeds having superpowers. You don't need to outrun bullets or lift buildings to be a hero.

Being there for someone in dark times, helping caterpillars off the pavement...they are just as heroic deeds as any.

Spread Love 💜

"Silverwinds"

Sit in the clearing of the coniferous woods…

Let the silver winds ruffle your hair as the ultramarine sky is nothing but a medium for the Moon to bathe you in her light.

In this serenity, close your eyes… and breathe.

There's no better feeling than being gay and having a coffee just as fruity as yourself 🌈✨

Have a great day ahead, keep lovin' yourself 💛✨

A cup of cold coffee on a sunny windowsill. It's a new instant coffee I'm trying and it tastes amazing, it has an intense taste and a tart fruity note.

"Fleeting Splendour"

This could be just an amateur sandcastle… or, it could be the echo of a story… of a shrine, inviting waters to her gates, not knowing that the very waves she yearns will take her with them.

#bskyart #art #nature #photography #story
The sandcastle I've ever made. I made it during sunset with a channel I made to the waves, not knowing that the tide was rising. It was soon embraced by the rising tide, melting into the sand I carved it from

The tiniest latté I've made so far ✨

One doesn't need grandeur to experience joy, all that's needed isa different perspective ✨

Take it easy, breathe, tune out the noise and notice the little things, and always be kind to others and yourself 💜✨

A majestic seahorse drifts into the kelp forest, the algal allure of sanctuary couldn't be any more tantalising...

I discovered the cure to all grumpy mornings:

Sunlight + Latté → Dopamine + Pictures with great lighting ✨✨

Also... don't forget to love yourself 💛🌈

There is so much going wrong; hate and discrimination are rising, the climate crisis is worsening

Yet we must hold on to Hope. Our greatest strengths are Compassion and Love, so let's kindle them. Let them fuel action

And remember to give yourself care and love.
#hope #climate #coffee #change #gay
Latté with a tulip design made with homemade soy milk. Small changes matter just as much as the big ones. I try to make as many vegan choices as I can as a vegetarian. I switched to vegan milks, substituted cottage cheese for tofu. These small choices matter, for without small changes, bigger changes won't be catalysed.

Latté-grade frothable soy milk made from scratch ✨ So much better than store bought soy milk!

Latté art after what seems like ages! Nothing can beat a latté on a rainy day ✨✨

One of the prettiest butterflies I've photographed up close: the Danaid Egglfy (Hypolimnas missipus) ✨✨✨

Dorsal view of Danaid Eggfly: dark brown wings with white, egg-shapped spots (two on each forewing, and one on each hindwing) surrounded by irridescent blue outlines. The abdomen also glitters with blue irridescence.
