Very big cabbage harvest time. Surprised they didn't bolt in the heat of the summer!

Try to do good in this life. That's it. Money and fame are possibly a bit of skill, mostly luck. Want to be loved? Try to do good. Trying to do good is the easy part, yet so few bother. It's not even doing good. It's just trying. Just try.

Happy weekend! Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! 🐙❤️ Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo collage shows four pottery vessels, all creamy yellow in colour, with black painted decoration depicting lively stylised octopuses with writhing arms. All on display at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete.

Top L - Minoan storage jar decorated in ‘Marine Style’ with a wide-eyed octopus, argonauts, rocks, and coral. Rounded body which tapers to a narrow circular base. Short cyclindrical neck with black wavy decoration reminiscent of waves. Loop handles attached to the shoulders. Height 55 cm. From Zakros, 1500-1450 BC

Top R - The iconic Minoan ‘Marine Style’ flask. Rounded body with short cyclindrical neck out-flared at rim, and two small curved handles attached between the top of the spout and the shoulders of the flask. An almost cartoon-like octopus, with wide eyes and sucker-lined arms. Other motifs include sea urchins, seaweed and rocks. Height 27cm. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC.

Bottom L - Minoan alabastron, broad at the base, swelling outwards into a fuller belly before narrowing near the top with a very short cyclindrical neck with flat rim. Decorated in “Marine Style” with a wide-eyed octopus among rocks. From Knossos Little Palace, 1450-1370 BC.

Bottom R - ‘krater’ with rounded body narrowing at the bottom towards the foot. Wide flaring mouth and rim with black painted wavy decoration, and two sturdy handles attached on each side between the top of the mouth and shoulders of the vessel. Decorated with a front facing stylised octopus with wide eyes and tentacles which loop up and down around the body of the pot, 1370-1300 BC.

This just in: humanity has officially protected 10% of the ocean. 🌊 #worldoceanday In 2000 it was 0.7%. The ocean did not respond to repeated requests for comment, but is reportedly pleased. A thread on why this is the best deal on Earth 🧵

Line chart of the share of the global ocean in marine protected areas, rising from about 0.7% in 2000 to 10% in 2026, with dashed projections showing recent pace reaches only ~13% by 2030 versus the 30% goal.

A nice day for a walk. (Note: the reason there is no bird feeder hanging off the metal post you can see in the foreground is because this #bear kept stealing it.)

A little grace from time to time doesn’t hurt anybody, and it’s free, which is always nice. This is as much a reminder to ourselves as to anyone else.

Excited to be opening my solo show Emotional Geographies at The Art House in Wakefield tonight - an immersive arborical installation inspired by trees my Grampa planted in the city in the 1950s 💚🌳🌱 #charlottesmithson #thearthouse #wakefield

In the background black lettering on a white wall titled ‘Charlotte Smithson - Emotional Geographies’ is being installed by a man with his back to the room. In the foreground are the variegated leaves of a cornus tree on a wooden plinth in the gallery
