The working title for this song was Two Rivers Sheep, but then had to tone the chorus craziness down a bit as the verses became sentimental. Also happy to share some great European music with y'all. #wotidol #wotskies youtu.be/L9VqHz7VC-A

So this photo contains zero birds, but in my defence, we were sitting outside waiting for birds. But the sun was almost setting and the backlit Snapdragons stole the show!

A backlit snapdragon flower that is partially opened. The background is dark green with a round sun like highlight in the top right corner. It’s actually an out of focus highlight that appears large because it’s a telephoto lens. The pink snapdragon flower is rim lit but has some light bouncing back to light the flower.
For those interested, the lens is a 400mm and required 5 frames focused on slightly different parts of the flower to be stacked together so the entire flower was sharp .

Great study. Moving from ethanol-producing-fields to solar-producing-prairies is a such a huge win for many reasons in the Midwest. That said, there's some nuance here in the 2/12 species that are adapted for open grasslands and which were actually more abundant in fields... 1/

Playing with light I was trying to get the setting sun behind these flowers and all sorts of neat stuff happened. There’s a rainbow back there! Where did that come from? #BloomScrolling #BlueskyArtShow #summer 🌿

A spray of purple flowers in front of a rosy glow of light with a small rainbow going across it. Plus a bunch of silhouetted flowers and buds. Or maybe they’re shadows? It’s all rather abstract but beautiful.

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️

Most people don't dream of being fancy-rich.
I dream of being rich enough to say, "Treat's on me," without thinking twice. Rich enough to have a home that feels like a hug, a fridge stocked like a five-year-old with adult money, and a tray of chocolates waiting for someone to grab. Rich enough to quietly help a friend before they even have to ask. To send a care package when someone's too tired to reach out. To buy all the pencils from a kid on the street so they can go home early. For me, the real money dream isn't about luxury - it's about having enough to give, enough to comfort, enough to turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary.

The thing about re-reading a book, or re-watching a movie or a TV show long after you watched it the first time ... You're not wasting your time. You're revisiting something you enjoyed, but with new eyes and a changed understanding. You will pick up themes and messages you missed on first pass.

Excerpt from "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" by Brandon Sanderson, for no particular reason at all... (Good book btw. Well recommended)

He nodded. "You're wrong about one thing though," he said back softly. "You said the machine would replace you. It can't."

"But-"

"It can summon spirits," he said. "But it can't create art. Art is about intent, Yumi. A rainbow isn't art, beautiful though it might be. Art is about creation. Human creation. A machine can lift way more than Tojin can - doesn't make it less impressive when he lifts more than almost any human being."

He smiled at her. "I don't care how well a machine piles rocks. The fact that you do it is what matters to me."
