Happy longest day of the year! Sunrise through the Spiral of Honesty the beautiful translucent seedpods of the plant - honesty - arranged in a spiral, stuck on to glass.

These! Real life green men and women. Artists Karoline Hjorth & Riitta Ikonen have been on a journey to find them. Their project, “Eyes as Big as Plates,” transforms elders around the world into living sculptures, adorned with the very landscape they inhabit moss, seaweed, branches, and soil.

I'm very fond of looking at stained glass windows in churches. Often my favourite parts are the unregarded details tucked away in the corners. Plants, animals and birds - the naturey bits - are often to be found there. This is a montage I've made of some of those

Things That Don't Exist - Peacock They used to think there was a bird with a hundred-eye shimmer for a tail. Rainbow fractured in the facets of a fly's compound eye. And get this - Some still claim to see them.

Brimstone butterfly It's great to see butterflies doing well this year. And insects in general. After an atrocious year last year - it's good to see them bounce back, in this much better weather. It was like the old days - almost.

Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. paraphrase of Terry Prachett

Six great tit eggs in the garden, hatched yesterday. It's a miracle naked, blind hatchling to being to mini Great tit - a creature that seems to have the 'lights on' - it has that spark...it has - life ...turning caterpillar into bird consciousness magically appearing, seemingly out of nothing
