Stunning sunset during the wedding reception
A view from inside Villa Gambits, looking out on guest admiring the sky before dinner. A pair of monumental pillars frame a series of metal gates leading out to a door, framing a family silly pink and blue sunset, with many guests milling around in finery

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Things that grow on trees - found on a recent walk along the River Wear from Durham City - crabapples, conkers, Norwegian maple seeds, Ramalina lichen, beech nuts and sweet chestnuts. Watercolour painting. Seems to have been a good year for the beech and apples, less so for oaks. 🐡 #botany #lichen

"𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘴, a chalice-shaped fungus with pronounced veins that is known for its constant, almost imperceptible, colour shifting." Inspired by Helvella acetabulum. I might have trypophilia, ahah. Sorry to those here who suffer from trypophobia. #TraditionalArt #Mushrooms
A photo of an open landscape-format sketchbook placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, a palette, watercolour pans, coloured pencils, a fountain pen, acrylic markers, crystals, and leaves. The sketchbook page features paintings of a fictional chalice-shaped mushroom with pronounced veins in soft yellow/pink/teal colours. In the top left corner is written, with purple ink: Helvella mutabilis.

Today's #Whistober drawing is a fun little sketch experiment inspired by a photo by @elibisme.bsky.social Feels like it captures a kind of seasonal Halloween vibe even without the spider!
Digital drawing of a spiderweb covered in dew drops against a black background. A tree with red autumn leaves is reflected upside down in each dew drop in such a way that it also looks like bloody roots reaching into the ground.

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

#postaday2026 #artsky #blueskyart #bskyart#art #oldart I’m feeling a bit tired, & my current drawing isn’t finished, so old art today. Ghost Hare is excited about Halloween, even if the stores have Xmas stuff already. 🙄🎃🐇👻💜
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a ghostly pale green floating hare ghost, holding a carrot in their left front tentacle/sheet corner/ghostly body.
I was inspired by a flapjack octopus, so it looks like a flapjack octopus, but glowing pale green, with glowing yellow eyes that have large round black pupils. And long hare ears. And a pale green bushy tail in back.
On quiet October nights, Ghost Hare can be heard, rummaging through the crisper drawer in your refrigerator, hoping for organic carrots.
Do not eat the brown jellybeans, Ghost Hare is not the Easter Bunny.

Petition: Take urgent action so those with Severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in Wales are no longer left without vital medical care
Service provision for people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) remains inconsistent across Wales. In particular, major concerns persist regarding access for those with the severe form of the condition, leaving some families facing life-impacting decisions, without medical guidance. Sufferers are confined to dark rooms, require 24/7 care, some unable to speak, feed themselves, tolerate light or sound, or even sit up. Proposed actions will ensure people with Severe ME can safely access evidence-informed medical care and improve their chances of recovery.

Halloween costumes for birders. This is from last year and someone actually did the sexy owl pellet one.
A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you. Please know you’re not alone. Many of us still mask, test and isolate when sick. Being the lone masker can be difficult, but your long term health is worth it. As a high risk, immunocompromised person… I see and appreciate you.
