I blinked and suddenly southern green stinkbugs are all over my cosmos and tomatoes 😬 They're a pest in hotter countries but supposedly they're not too much of a problem in the British climate - let's hope it stays that way 🤞🏻 #BugSky #Invertebrate

It is black with red shoulders, a greenish tinge to the lower half of its back, and rows of whitish spots.4th instar southern green shield bug nymph on cosmos.

Good family times for my Dad's 75th today, with a roast chicken dinner followed by marshmallows over the firepit while the full moon came up. Now that he has #dementia, every celebration feels like saying goodbye a tiny bit more 💔
Flames flashing in a firepit. Above left, lights glow inside a summerhouse and illuminate a woman with her hands on her hips. Above right some fairy lights highlight a garden arch. At top, a blurry full moon is coming up between the trees.

On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since. Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland
A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Lights 📷💥 From a couple of summers ago.
A huge burst of white fireworks going off in a black sky above a castle. The heads of the crowd, and children on shoulders, are highlighted by the fireworks and by floodlights from the side.

Evening, Bluesky. I still love you, but boy, I'm short of bandwidth at the moment. It's been a heck of a year, and I'm harvesting, I'm pruning, I'm letting the old fall away, I'm putting down deeper roots. Take it easy 🍂

Come back, I was only admiring your handsome suit! 😍💚 Just chased this southern stinkbug larva (3rd instar?) across my patio for a pic. They're new to the area, and fairly new to the UK. #BugSky

Nearly time to redo my little hallway nature shelf for autumn. I was lacking inspiration at the start of the summer but it filled up very nicely over time 🥰💚🍂
A small three-shelf unit arranged with feathers, a dried rose and a champagne cork, a tiny trailing houseplant, a stained glass candle holder, found stones, gemstones, fossils, pearls in an oyster shell, a sea potato, a crab shell, a sea holly leaf, and beetles preserved in acrylic.

My front yard today. Over the last few years we have been ditching lawn and invasive plants and replacing them with native plants and trees. It amazes me how many new butterflies, birds, and animals we see. Don't be afraid to do it, even if just a little, in your yard. #nativeplants #butterflies

Sunlight streams through a shady forest on a September morning. The light illuminates the changing leaves enhancing their golden change. A well defined path in partial sunlight makes it way through a peaceful forest. No time for worries here, just easy breath & gentle thoughts

Kept hearing a little tapping noise behind the curtains... Finally found this devil's coach horse beetle trapped in a plant pot, flopping around trying to climb out! 🥹 The mind boggles as to how it got there... I've never even spotted one in the garden before 😄 #InsectThursday #coleoptera

It's really super basic - just tomatoes, salt, a slice of butter, and usually I float half an onion in it and remove after stewing (didn't this time for dietary reasons). Simmer half-covered for an hour! If you search 'tomato butter sauce' you'll find it. Approx 1200g toms made two 380g jars.

Ah, sad. That was a big problem for me last summer - I improved the soil since and fixed the raised bed to retain water better! Better luck next time 🤞🏻

Yes I do, it's lovely and mellow 😊 This is a very plain base - when I thaw and use it I may add herbs and other flavourings, depending on what I'm after.

Oddly enough, we could look at another person and see another person who shares our humanness. If we have a thought-feeling that stabs, "Oh, they are so _____" we could STOP. We could delve into the roots of the stabby thought-feeling. We could let ourselves open and ACCEPT the other. We could. ♥️
