These Birch Polypores look so fresh and clean. Reminded me of the sound baffle thingys hanging from the Albert Hall ceiling… which happily I found out are called mushrooms. www.royalalberthall.com/about-the-ha... 🍄 #FungiFriends

A vase I made, for roses I grew! #pottersofbluesky #roses #handmade #garden #porcelain #vase #floral
One stem grew five blooms! And this variety is all double petaled, I really love this rosebush. They're much more purple in person than they look here. Too tall a stem for this particular vase, but I wanted to show off that split, into FIVE blooms! This is my first time growing roses outside, and I am just obsessed with how gorgeous they are!

I think the yellow on this mushroom might be the parasitic Bolete Mould. www.naturespot.org/species/bole... 🍄 #MushroomMonday #FungiFriends

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Hoverfly at the beach. Bit odd, but I guess we all enjoy the sea air. #Insects #Hove
Looking straight down at beach pebbles, a yellow and black Batman hoverfly (Myathropa florea) is sitting on a pebble in the sun.

Lots of Common Lizards out enjoying the warm sun lately. Amazing range of colours, within a few miles I’ve seen a beautiful copper on the #SouthDowns, leafy green and mostly grey-browns like this one. #UKWildlife

@helenbennett.bsky.social says, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TheDivers Quite literally this #kingfisher is diving. I spent ages waiting for it to come off its favourite perch, often for it to dive in the opposite direction! Persistence pays off eventually. #birds #wildlife #eck #canon

Think this slime mould might be Arcyria ferruginea. Very excited to see it for the first time, it’s an amazing colour the lens didn’t quite capture. #FungiFriends #FungiFriday #SlimeMould

Made a donation to the RNLI it’s horrible to see them under attack… …especially with claims of them being traitors, in a style of attack that seems to have been directly imported from across the Atlantic. rnli.org/support-us/g... #RNLI

Just realized that boro and kantha — the Japanese and Indian techniques for repairing cloth or creating new material from scraps by connecting them through a series of running stitches — looks a bit like the peeling bark on an aging tree.
