A Swallowtail Butterfly. Although I have seen many images of this butterfly, it was my first time seeing this beauty in the flesh while on holiday in Greece. Time to fly x. #swallowtail #butterfly #insect #nature #greece #Kefalonia #Cephalonia #flyday

Last weekend we went to Ft. Stevens to see some birds and as we were driving out of the park, this magnificent creature posed in a tree along the side of the road. I was driving so my brother captured this for me through the passenger side window. #Birds #ThursJay #Raven #ECK
A Common Raven perched on a bare branch in the crook of a mossy tree.  Its body is facing the camera with its head turned towards the right frame.  Its beak is tilted upwards and just slightly ajar. The light is soft and shows the oily iridescent look of its neck and shoulder feathers.  It also shows a reflection in its eye.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Some 3,400 years ago, an Egyptian artisan captured a sense of speed and elegance in this beautifully carved handle in the shape of a horse! 🐴 ❤️ New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, reign of Amenhotep III, c. 1390–1352 BC. The Met 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows an ivory handle of a light whip or fly whisk carved in the shape of a horse. The ivory body of the horse is stained reddish-brown, and the mane and tail are black. The horse is seen in profile facing left. Its legs are outstretched in front and at the back in what scholars refer to as a ‘flying gallop' position, with a gracefully arched back. The eyes are inlaid with garnet, one of which is missing (not seen in my photo). It  is displayed on a vertical, thin metal stand in a museum display case. This beautiful object is dated to the New Kingdom period, Dynasty 18, reign of Amenhotep IlI, c. 1390-1352 BC. Dimensions: L: 14.7 cm × H: 5.5 cm × W: 2 cm

The rut is ON! Our massive bull elk are in full display mode, bugling to declare their dominance, sparring with rivals, and even decorating their antlers with vegetation to impress the herd. This dramatic season only comes once a year, and it’s nature’s version of a competition for the crown.

The Pentagon says it plans to livestream an execution. Pete Hegseth said the public will be able to watch the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, scheduled for December 3. Turning a government execution into a livestream should alarm everyone.

Setting aside that livestreaming Nidal Hasan's execution is further evidence that this country has become a dystopian hellscape, handing jihadist extremists footage they can use to glorify a mass murderer as a martyr is spectacularly bad policy. What could possibly go wrong?

Mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) are native to Cameroon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Males are considerably larger than females and more colorful. Although mostly terrestrial, they are capable climbers and sleep in trees to avoid predators. Threatened by hunting and habitat loss. Vulnerable.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month. The month celebrates the achievements, history and civil rights movements of the LGBTQ+ community. Today, it is the story of Jim Egan.
In 1986, Egan, who was self-employed much of his life, retired and applied for spousal benefits for Jack Nesbit, his partner of 40 years.
This was refused because they were a same sex couple. Egan launched a court case that made it to the Supreme Court.
While they lost their case, the court ruled to include sexual orientation as a prohibited grounds for discrimination  under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This paved the way for the legalization of same sex marriage.
