Black orbs in daylight. A Jackdaw and a Rook. The last two watercolour paintings. #art #sciart #birds

Daylight photo of a watercolour painting of a Jackdaw birdie on a very light cream paper. Seen from the side, facing to the left, he walks over the grassy and mossy area, there is a pinecone, half buried in the soil. The pale eye watches the viewer. I used a lot of silver painting on black base as the bird sports a lot of gray. He gives confident and mischievous vibes.

A photo of a watercolour painting. A Rook perched on a cherry tree branch with a few leaves of orange, yellow and light green shades, as it was autumn when I took that photo I used for reference. He is up high, facing the viewer. Gives out the true king of the hill feel. I like the contrast between the black bird with silver and a bit of blue shine and colourful background.

Being a millionaire there would be a lot of places for introverts to hide in, including secret corners in the garden, in home jungle, in reading nooks, in the attic with a telescope, in castle ruins deeper in the woodland.. et cetera...

A living room jungle in the evening, with an added chair with blue pillow, big cup of tea and artificial light coming from the right from behind the plants.

A glass lamp with green and yellow mosaic. It hangs on its own stick, not on the plant itself.

The huge planter is just a silhouette in this photo from behind the green wall. It has its own lights in the shape of dragonflies. The colour of the light is yellow.

Closer look on the acrylic dragonflies, each is on a separate stem and can be arranged around the foliage.

I replanted two trees. In the end I dragged the black plastic flower pot home manually. And bought just one as it is costly. I can get a cement mixing bin for cheaper, the question is how long it lasts. Testing with a bucket swamp.

Two oversized plants in big pots. One looks like a regular leafy tree, the other like a palm tree. I had to improvise with the pot filling having only one small commercial bag of potting soil. When cleaning I discovered two bags of decorative filling that I used for getting more air to the roots by mixing it in. A pile of bigger pebbles in the bottom part of the pot weighs it down. Both plants are photographed in front of a window on the terrace and I let them soak in the rain for a bit to get the dust off of their leaves.

It is. If there is any chance to get medicated, go for it.

A view from the camera 🪶

Sparrows are busy clearing out the feeding station. It's a low wooden shelving unit painted brown. Sparrows are in low shelves foraging, and in the big ceramic bowl in the biggest compartment, one is sitting on a big rock in front of the furniture. Others hopping around on the terrace. The feeder is set up by the makeshift railing I made of wood that was left in the basement. The main thick planks are very sturdy. Every section looks different due to that. I didn't have enough material of one sort. Yet I felt better when I finally managed to get it from the garage ceiling as a million other things and actually use it. It was slightly moldy and twisted too as most of the wood leff behind.

Sparrow folk before I refilled the feeding station and swept some soggy blobs away. 🪶

I am sorry to hear that this murderous combo affects you these days. It's crippling even the one without the other. 🫣

Yes. Thanks 💚. I would probably place in some bigger chair or something more comfy of course, this is "let's shuffle things around and give some space to those trees, oh and create a corridor, oh and place here something to sit on" phase. 😁

In the garden for a tiny bit. Five hours later I finally went home and made a dairy free hot cocoa drink. Not bad.

I have been polishing a lower level path where overgrown lavenders on the left and a green wall of succulents on the right have been growing. I dug out a little trench along the foliage for slowing the rainwater in running off.

More rosetta-like succulents were replanted to strengthen the flower bed edge elsewhere. Here it shows clusters of plants with rocks arranged around them together with vine twigs. Small lavender plants made their way here too, when I dig something out I plant it on bare spots elsewhere. This edge is low and is also secured with old terracotta pots along the pathway.

Zoomed-out view of the planters area with pebbles, plants, planter saucers with pebbles and a pile of fallen plums in the bottom left corner. It curves to the left and the pathway follows the shape. Right now the pathway itself isn't defined much except by criss-crossing sticks marking the outer edge, pushed down into the soil, because animals would demolish it. I am often marking newly planted greenery with available sticks. It helps protect it too, so I use anything in reach.

A big white bloom with a yellow middle of a daisy. Flowers keep going.

It can recombine, go off on its own & break up into more slimes, fruit, form a sclerotium, or bleb off tiny amoebas. Some slimes intentionally drop pieces of themselves to reach new places.

If you see a non-fruiting slime, you can take a piece as a pet and neither piece will be bothered one bit

Thank you 💚🌱. These are my mum's and my sister's, one of those that's touching the ceiling was mine. They would use heavy and big pots and support, I was thinking about going out and buying one, but thinking about it further it will be easier to order online than dragging it from the store. 😅

I was in the mood to dive into the neglected jungle I gathered from the house in this one stripe. Now people, if there are any, can actually go around and sit under the canopy, to watch birbs from the window, to exist while touching plants. Until now everything was blocked off, piled up, dirty...

Various overgrown trees and palm trees.. I mean house plants gathered on low tables by the window. There is a space to walk around to the left and between the green wall and the window. Every plant is also up above the floor. The water bottles were reduced from forty to three. It's only me cleaning and clearing out the hoarder's mess so from time to time I tackle some of the corners. Plus I removed two cabinets and a number of cardboard boxes and trash bags from the spot. It was packed and looked like a rat nest. And rat nests are cosy and warm balls of stolen newspaper and fluff, speaking of pets.

A low sitting cube that was stored here in our house can be used in the jungle, it fits under the tables when not used so I don't trample over.

Plants are photographed from the window side, from the corner on an angle, the sun is shining for two seconds and the foliage looks dense.

The bird feeder can be observed from the jungle as well as part of the garden and most of the bug island. Make your place work for you, not the opposite. I tried for many years to explain this to the other two people I lived with with no good advancement, only a tiny step here and there could be accomplished but not with the other one, once something was cleared, it was immediately filled and trashed. So when I cleared something I, with the owner's permission, removed the container itself too.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Finally installed a second camera, which can pan horizontally and vertically. It's to watch the birds area, eventually to run out to chase off neighbours cats. They are not the sharpest. Esp. the white one.

Yesterday's event was so intense that I am still glued to the half a litre mug of hot tea. And sadly I didn't stay until nighttime battle as I was frozen through and through while wearing winter clothes under costume. The worst rain and wind from Amy arrived before that second battle 🥺.

I talked with one of the neighbours a few times and now, giving her seeds from our plants she wanted, she gave me these plants, even two full planters and a big shrub and branches to grow. That lady has a magical touch, whenever she plants something, even just a stem from other plants, it will grow.

A bunch of new foliage in four small tin planters and one big light brown plastic one. The common theme is shades of purple.

Long rectangular planter with crawling stems with small thick leaves. On one side it's more dense and green because it was peeking out of the shadow.

Rosetta-like succulents filled a stackable planter and hung over the edge.

It's dark as it is raining outside. I lit candles in a three arm black forged metal candelabra that sits in a tin saucer on a white table where all the plants are situated by the window.

If something presents itself again like a poorly birb of bigger proportions and such.

Collapsible black coated wire crate for small dogs. Quite heavy. Sitting on the floor by the balcony door.

I have an update about that fluff of a bird wood pidge youngling, he has diarrhea and a sore throat that's why he didn't eat, only pecked here and there. He got antibiotics and a food, was underweight, poor lad. So his falling asleep was a result of his weakness caused by sickness.

A very young and fluffed up wood pigeon resting on the floor, which I covered with newspaper having. I placed a water cup, slice of an apple and blobs of mixed food around him.

Aww. It must be hard to set boundaries. But as a distant observer I think it is cute. They would definitely move in if they could.

FlyingFox @trinn4ce.bsky.social · 7d

Well, that would be something! But no, even when the radioactive clouds flew over a few times 😁.

Half eaten plums. Insects and birds like to nibble on them.
