The dense aquarium jungle is pretty, but overdue for pruning. The only space for fish to swim freely was right up front. Hair algae was the last straw! After a brutal thinning it looks sparse but the fish are loving the space. Even the lone shrimp made an appearance. #aquarium #fishsky 🐠

This is Bean, she (?) is cheerful and has a can-do attitude. I got her to be a helper for another goldfish that had some physical problems. Bean was a top-notch nurse fish, but eventually the older fish died. Now Bean needs a buddy.

Check out this beautiful waterfall and its resident Valentine Orb on Fossil Creek in Arizona. This is a tributary to the Verde River.

We had a short trip to Arizona and my hub noticed this adorable, fuzzy scarab beetle. iNat suggests it is the "Punctate Little Bear Scarab Beetle". I'm a sucker for anything cute and fuzzy, even beetles.

He was not afraid when a 64-kilometre-long military convoy was moving toward Kyiv, when the Russians were advancing tens of kilometres a day, and when there was no help from the West or other countries. Naive fools think that he will be afraid now.

If your local Democratic group advises avoiding rallies at state Capitols if you don't know your group is permitted, now is not the time to worry about paperwork.Rump and Muskox do not have permits to gut democracy, gain access to your ss info or to shut down institutions they don't understand.

I attended a wildlife biologist meeting for this area. The USFWS and USFS biologists said that due to flagging DEI language, to avoid the use of "diversity" in communication. If we need to discuss genetic diversity, plant community diversity, wildlife diversity,we need to get creative. RIDICULOUS.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Currently there's a stunning exhibit called "Water Connects Us All" at the Webster Art Gallery in Port Angeles, Wa. It's not a huge exhibit but it includes fiber art, ceramics, glass, paintings and prints that capture the overlap of art and marine science. If you are in town please go!
Postcard with "Water Connects Us All" superimposed over art depicting sea creatures.Four-panel painting of a bull kelp forest. In the distance are mountains. Graphs atop each panel track populations of pinto abalone as well as the health of the kelp forests in Puget Sound.Shiny, silver blown glass reflects another art piece in the exhibit.Colorful ceramic corals and invertebrates are arranged on the gallery wall.
