Flew back home from my winter escape.Lots of reflection time. Truly grateful for my friends,here. Hurt by some l considered friends. Ghosted by one, minimal interaction by the other.True friends communicate feelings.Not ignore. I’ve learnt from this.Thank you to those who display genuine kindness.🤍

A small heron stands atop a weathered wooden post, contorted while preening its feathers. The bird's long, thin legs support its slender body, which features a blend of blue-gray and maroon plumage. The post itself is marked with a white square bearing the bold black number "18" and a small white rectangle with a symbol below it. The background consists of a soft, out-of-focus light blue body of water.

I have wondered the same. I saw this banner in a yard this week...it's along the same lines. Every living creature responds well to kindness! 🥰
A small banner in a front yard has a blue background, a tree with colorful leaves, a bird and two bees with this text, "Make Americans Kind Again. If speaking kindly to plants helps them grow, imagine what speaking kindly to humans can do."

Crocosmia bulbs spread like crazy and only bloom when they're in the mood. This year they were in the mood 💚🧡 to make me happy (and to prevent their removal). Can plants read our thoughts?

Black and white image of a thick, leaning oak tree next to a trail. One of its branches arches over the trail, connecting with a steep bank. There is another branch out of the frame that mimics the shadow of the arched branch. Textures of leaves and more shadows creates an almost abstract image; one isn't sure what they are looking at. King trail in Irish Hills of San Luis Obispo, California.The same image, only in color. Most of the image is the brown trail and fallen leaves, and, of course the shadows. Looking through the arched branch we see green vegetation further in the near distance. Some of that greenery spills over to the left side of the oak tree trunk.

Prickly pear branches that are a pale minty green with generous patches of purple which grows darker the closer it gets to the tip. There are yellow blossoms, either just finishing blooming, starting to bloom, or in full bloom. The sun illuminates the blossoms and the top edge of the cactus. Behind are saguaro cactus and a white wall. Drought tolerant landscaped yard in San Luis Obispo, California

Hi everyone. Busy day at my brother’s farm, was harvesting silage. Going to do some #BirdOfTheDay reposts. Repost=Step! 🕺💃🍻🥂🐣🥃🍷🍾🍺🧊 Taken this morning. The heat was already too much for this little guy. Grass didn’t offer much shade. 😂 #Contortionist #ForJanet #Robin #birds #ECK
A European robin sits low on a weathered tree stump, its bright orange-red breast fluffed out as it tries to keep cool on a hot summer day. With both wings held slightly away from its body and its tail raised, the bird adopts a classic heat-relief posture, allowing air to circulate through its feathers. A few blades of grass partially frame the robin’s face, while warm sunlight highlights the rich chestnut-brown plumage and the soft, pale feathers along its sides. The blurred green background creates a peaceful garden setting, drawing attention to the robin’s determined effort to stay comfortable in the midday heat.

Sorry folks. Have to walk the big lump of fur. Will be back to check out the #BirdOfTheDay posts. Already been some absolutely amazing shots. It’s so hot already, the clouds have disappeared. Pray for me. 😄 #birds #Contortionist #photography #ECK
A Meadow Pipit stands on top of a weathered wooden fence post, its head bowed deeply and one foot lifted as though clasped in quiet prayer. Warm golden sunlight highlights the bird’s streaked brown back, creamy underparts, and delicate pink legs, while the softly blurred background isolates the moment in peaceful simplicity. A strand of barbed wire runs across the lower part of the post, adding a rustic countryside setting, but the pipit’s humble, contemplative pose is what draws the eye, giving the impression of a tiny bird pausing for a silent moment of reflection.

Hi folks, the #BirdOfTheDay themes today: #Rocky, birds perched on rocks. alt #Contortionist, birds getting into strange shapes. #birds #photography #Flyday #ECK
A male stonechat perches on the top of a weathered dry-stone wall, pausing to preen its chest feathers. Its glossy black head is marked by a bold white neck patch, contrasting with a rich orange breast and dark upperparts. One wing is slightly extended as it carefully grooms its plumage, while the sun highlights the fine feather detail. The lichen-covered stones add texture beneath the bird, and a smooth olive-green background keeps the focus entirely on this quiet moment of self-care in the countryside.
