Wide-angle photo of a large, modern playground. The playground is filled with children and adults enjoying various wooden play structures, swings, and slides. The space is enclosed by fencing, with pathways and young trees surrounding it. In the background, rows of new houses and construction sites are visible, with a clear blue sky and distant mountains providing a scenic backdrop.

💙 Did you know? Plants do not produce true blue pigment. Only about 10% of flowers appear blue to human eyes, and this is thanks to light reflection. #gardening
set.adelaide.edu.au
Why is the colour blue so rare in nature?
Blue is a very prominent colour on earth. But when it comes to nature, blue is very rare. Less than 1 in 10 plants have blue flowers and far fewer animals are blue.

Amidst uncertainty, nature reminds us: strength is in solidarity, beauty in complexity, & survival in togetherness. Even when the surface is shaken, we are steadied by what lies beneath. Next time you walk a forest path, remember the unseen forces that bind it all & the quiet ties that hold us too.
A photograph of a forest with tall, straight trees and a forest floor covered in a network of exposed tree roots. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting a warm glow. Overlaying the image is a centered quote in white text that reads: "In times of uncertainty, nature reminds us that strength is in solidarity, beauty in complexity, and survival in togetherness. Even when the surface is shaken, we are steadied by what lies beneath." A small geometric logo is below the text. At the bottom of the image, a caption in italics states: "Photo taken on Skwxwú7mesh traditional territory." The image is framed by a white border.
