Focus is on single purple flower in a patch on the edge of the ocean. The sun is setting in the background and everything is bathed in golden light.

#ShowYourStripes Day! Temperature change in Japan and the stripes of the city near where I live. Like many countries, Japan has been breaking high temperature records in recent years. But yesterday, I was happy to find tiny baby frogs on hydrangea flowers! 🐸 showyourstripes.info by @edhawkins.org

Brave to a point. This adventurous little #orangutan amused the onlookers when he came in with his mother to feed at the #Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. He roamed around, but was nearly always within arm’s reach of mom. #Sepilok #Borneo #Sabah #Malaysia

The bud before opening is cute, too.🪷 #lotus

The lotus bud is light pink and sits on a long stem. It looks like a slender onion with darker pink lines on its skin. Below the bud are several large, pale green leaves. The leaves are wavy, oval-shaped, and slightly similar to taro leaves.

After the rice harvest 🌾 I respect organic farmers and gardeners. Especially weeding in the rice fields during the hot summer is hard work. I felt that the sunset thanked them for their efforts and comforted them. This week’s theme #light #blueskyartshow

Golden view of a rice field after harvest. White sunlight spreads from the horizon (back) to the field (front), where the short-cropped rice plants have begun to die. Green grass and short rice leaves are growing among them.

I’m sharing this blue insect for #BlueMonday. It was drinking water in the forest. 🦋🍃 Alpaine Black Swallowtail (Papilio maackii, ミヤマカラスアゲハ) Japan, August 2019. #BlueBugs

A large black swallowtail is drinking water from a puddle on the ground. The wings are covered with many scales and shine beautifully in turquoise and sky blue. Each triangular forewing has a black oval spot and thin black lines. The undersides of the hindwings have narrow white and light blue lines and small red, white, and purple spots. (Probably, male summer type.)

Thin white cirrus clouds, looking like a quick brush stroke, spread with the wind from left to right toward the top of the sky. The sky is azure blue at dusk, and the lower left/west side is whitish rose pink. Black silhouettes of Japanese-style houses are at the bottom.

pheraedia pumilis is a tiny, 0.5mm springtail, not often photographed. It has a really distinctive shape- hence its Latin name. They’re really common on lawns so can be a fun one to find in winter, under fallen leaves… #springtail #soil

My lifelong dream of seeing Waxwings was finally realised in February this year when a small flock visited Brandon Marsh while I was there. It took a while to track them down, and a few minutes after I found them they flew off. But then they returned, and wow! 🤩 #PlumeScrolling #Birds #UKWildlife 🌿

A European Waxwing perched on a near horizontal Hawthorn twig, with other lichen-covered twigs around the bird. The Waxwing is perched with his or her back towards us, but with the head turned to the left. The Waxing is a plump bird, with plumage mostly grey and pale brown in colour; the head, where the brown plumage has a reddish tint, has a prominent tuft on top, a thick black eye-stripe, a black throat patch, and a short, black beak; the short tail has black, yellow-tipped feathers; and the wing have black, white and yellow markings plus, in one spot, about six red feather tips that look a little like sealing wax.

Moss layers. I was deeply impressed and fully energized by them a few years ago. A small island, Yakushima, Japan. #blueskyartshow #forest #屋久島

Tall deciduous trees stand near a small stream. The bottoms of the trees and rocks are covered with moss. Everything is green. Small ferns and baby trees are visible among them.

Yesterday, I went to two art museums thanks to one of my best friends, who loves Taro Okamoto. It was really good to learn why Amemiya has been making apple sculptures for over twenty years and to have a touching VR experience. Yosuke Anemiya Exhibition #WATARI-UM www.watarium.co.jp/en/exhibitio...

A medium-sized green apple is melting at the bottom of its side. The apple's top is red and looks delicious, like a real apple. The melting part is as if the apple is sticking its tongue out, saying, "Yum!"

There are four wooden sculptures of melting apples on the desk. They show a part of the process of his sculpture, I think.

A long shot of the installation. Multiple lights hang from the ceiling, and a video image is shown on the tall wall. There are many apple sculptures and drawings on the long table.
