I'm still on a break from Bluesky, while I take care of a mountain of issues. However, I would like to post this beautiful Malachite butterfly that I saw last month. #Butterflies #GreenSat #ColorADay #ECK
A profile of a butterfly perched on a yellow-green leaf. The underside of its wings are brown, with a pattern of large green patches on them. It is surrounded by different shades of green and yellow leaves.

Kaikai exudes joy! She is the happiest little elephant, who starts every morning 'dancing' into the new day! Her best friend Bungalu is just as content, but a little more subdued about it! Rescued as a newborn orphan, she will grow up in our care until she's ready for the wild.

Cranes in Kushiro-shi, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. Photography by Toru Kona on 500px
Standing side-by-side upon a blanket of pristine Hokkaido snow in Kushiro, a pair of red-crowned cranes (tancho) throw their beaks to the winter sky in a synchronized, trumpeting courtship duet. Their arched necks and gleaming crimson crowns (tan) project a striking graphic silhouette, their jet-black secondary feathers fanning outward like flared kimono sleeves against their snow-white plumage. In the soft-focus background, another crane stands in quiet witness across the frozen field. The photograph captures an electrifying, elemental sensory experience: the piercing, clarion bugle of their call echoing across sub-zero wetlands, steam condensing instantly into mist from open beaks, the dry rustle of wind-ruffled plumage, the blinding glare of winter light reflected off fresh powder, and the sharp, freezing bite of northern air settled over the marsh.   Captured in Kushiro-shi, Hokkaido, by photographer Toru Kona, this scene celebrates Japan’s most sacred avian icon in its ancestral winter sanctuary. Known to the indigenous Ainu people as Sarurun Kamuy (God of the Marsh), the red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) has long endured as a cornerstone of Japanese cultural iconography, symbolizing longevity, good fortune, and marital fidelity due to its lifelong pair-bonding. From Heian-period court textiles and Edo-period gold leaf screens (byōbu) by masters like Ogata Kōrin to modern heraldry and ceremonial origami, the crane’s posture is woven into the nation's visual heritage. Once feared extinct in Japan during the early twentieth century, a small resident population was rediscovered in the un-freezing spring-fed reed beds of Kushiro Marsh and saved through decades of local community winter-feeding programs.

Someone has suggesting showing the lane behind my house with snow so here it is. Snow is rare on my bit of the North Wales coast so I don’t have lots of pics to choose from but it’s beautiful when it happens, particularly when combined with fog like this. Snow days are very exciting here ⛄️😍 #snow

Awa odori dancer. Japan.
Captured in a striking monochromatic portrait, a female dancer (odoriko) of the Awa Odori stands poised under the steep, sculptural curve of a woven straw hat (amigasa). Deep shadows cast by the braided reed brim frame her quiet, focused profile, highlighting her composed expression and serene intensity amid the festival energy. The stark contrast between her dark-trimmed collar, tied tasuki cord, and folded kimono brings out the crisp geometry and grace of her traditional attire. The photograph evokes a vivid, immersive sensory atmosphere: the resonant clang of kane gongs, the deep thrum of taiko drums, and the rhythmic melody of shamisen echoing through a humid Tokushima summer night, punctuated by the sharp clatter of wooden geta sandals on stone and the pure, contemplative spirit of the dancer frozen in time.   Originating in Tokushima Prefecture, the Awa Odori is one of Japan’s most celebrated Bon Odori folk dance festivals, carrying a rich heritage that spans more than four centuries. Renowned for its lively anthem—"Odoru ahō ni miru ahō, onaji ahō nara odoranya son son" ("Dancers are fools and onlookers are fools, so if both are fools, you might as well dance!")—the festival brings together performing troupes (ren) to parade through the city streets. The iconic costume of the female dancers (josei-odori), defined by the distinctive steep-angled amigasa hat, tucked kimono, and high-stepped wooden geta, presents a harmonious synthesis of folk exuberance and courtly aesthetic discipline.
