After not seeing any across six Scottish Reserves visited last weekend, so Happy to see my first Fly Agarics Amanita muscaria this year at Bolehill Quarry yesterday, well worth the wait too! Lovely contrast of Sun-Blushed and Cherry-Red individuals #FungiFriends #Fungi #Mycology

Happy #mushroommonday Bluesky 🦋 #fungifriends. Four examples of edible Chicken-of-the-woods mushrooms whose color reminds me if candy corn, but much better for you. They taste better than that nasty Halloween candy, too!

"From the jutting shoulder the wings hang, their dark, shining plumes like an armour of overlapping plates. The black talons are enormous, and issue from a grey, scaly sheath of skin to grasp the leather glove." #EllaMaillart #Photography #Kyrgyzstan #TianShan #Falconry #GoldenEagle #Eagle
A Kyrgyz eagle hunter (berkutchi) wearing a fur hat and holding a tame golden eagle on his arm. Mature female eagles are typically trained because they grow significantly larger, heavier and more aggressive. 

The hunter wears a thick, reinforced leather gauntlet (biasley) on his right hand to protect his forearm from the eagle's crushing talons, along with a traditional fur cap (tymak) to withstand extreme alpine winter temperatures.

'Nomad With His Eagle', Soviet Kirghizstan, Ella Maillart, 1932 "The birds of prey are enormous, it is the only possible word for them, so mighty that I cannot imagine what other bird could deserve the title 'king of birds'." #EllaMaillart #Photography #Kyrgyzstan #TianShan #GoldenEagle #Eagle
A trained hunting eagle on the fist of his master. The leather hood (tomaga) blindfolds the bird to keep it calm and focused, preventing it from being startled by distractions until the hunter spots prey and removes it.

The golden eagle is one of the most well-known birds of prey in the accipitridae family, the largest eagle. It is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere,where it inhabits primarily mountains and, to a lesser extent, open and semi-open flatlands. 

It avoids residential areas and is sensitive to human disturbance. It is sedentary throughout most of its range, staying in pairs near the nest.At the northern edge of its range and in the highlands, some birds migrate to less snowy areas. It hunts a wide variety of game, most commonly hares, rodents, and many bird species. It sometimes attacks sheep, calves,and fawns. 

It builds its nest in a tree or on an inaccessible rocky ledge. A clutch typically contains two eggs, but most often only one chick survives. In Central Asia, golden eagles are used for commercial hunting of foxes,hares, and sometimes wolves and goitered gazelles.

"In his How Much Land Does a Man Truly Need?, Tolstoy offers a vivid illustration. Pakhom is promised as much land as he can walk around in a single day, provided he returns to his starting point before sunset. ..." saranagati.online/teachinginbr... #RamanaMaharshi #Tiruvannamalai #Arunachala
Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the most widely revered Hindu sages and spiritual masters of modern India. Ramana Maharshi’s path is fundamentally rooted in the non-dual tradition of Advaita Vedanta.

He taught that the ego is merely a phantom link between the physical body and pure spirit. When it is intensely examined through self-enquiry, the false individual identity dissolves.

His primary teaching method involves continuously tracing the "I-thought" back to its origin. Instead of focusing on external objects or complex rituals, seekers are instructed to internally ask the question, "Who am I?"

👩‍🍳 Dinner Tonight: I channeled my inner cat. 🐈‍⬛ 🐟 🐈 🐟
Very pretty box of unopened Fishwife brand tin of sardines 🐟 with preserved lemon. 🍋 My 1st time to try this brand - quality, freshness definitely worth the extra cost. (Good thing since I splurged on an 8-pack in a moment of weakness awhile back). 🤭In the foreground, an open tin of sardines 🐟 with preserved lemon 🍋, it’s pretty, colorful box packaging in the background. Tonight’s dinner of tinned sardines 🐟 in preserved lemon 🍋 on open-faced toasted baguette 🥖 slices. Added a bit of Lemon Caper Sauce on top. So good. The cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 were circling!

This is my new account, would love a follow here!! Join us Thursdays at #humansofBluesky. Urban scale meets color punch. A lone walker in vibrant magenta crosses North Wabash Ave, dwarfed by Chicago's towering skyscrapers. #luiscordobapharchive #street #Chicago #EWackerDrive #NWabashAv
Vertical orientation street photograph titled "The Wayfarer, Making His Own Path — North Wabash Avenue, Chicago." Low-angle perspective looking south along North Wabash Avenue near East Wacker Drive. In the foreground, a lone walker in a bright magenta sweater and light trousers crosses a painted pedestrian crosswalk. The framing showcases a rich array of historic and modern Chicago architectural landmarks:

* On the right foreground stands 330 North Wabash (formerly the IBM Building / AMA Plaza), the iconic 52-story International Style dark steel-and-glass skyscraper designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (housing The Langham Hotel in its lower levels).
* Adjacent to it on the right is the historic LondonHouse Chicago building (85 E Wacker Dr) with its classical stone facade.
* Down the avenue background, visible signage marks the historic L7 Chicago by Lotte (formerly Kimpton Hotel Monaco Chicago at 225 N Wabash Ave).
* In the distant skyline background to the left, the blue reflective glass of the St. Regis Chicago tower rises into a deep, clear sky.

Optimized for Chicago street photography, North Wabash Avenue, IBM Building Mies van der Rohe, LondonHouse Chicago, Hotel Monaco L7 Chicago, St Regis Chicago skyline, architectural scale, color pop street portrait, and Chicago Loop cityscape indexing.

A unique capture of a fungi growing among moss on what appears to be a dead tree/wood. It is surrounded in green foliage. It is a beautiful orange-coral in color. It reminds me of those rubber dog toys.. the openings in its sections are almost geometric or square shaped, yet irregular..

The image shows a series of pale, brownish-capped mushrooms sprouting in a curving line through patch-thin lawn grass alongside small yellow dandelions.These lawn mushrooms appear to share characteristics with gilled fungi in the genus Agaricus or similar saprotrophic lawn-dwelling species.
Many wild lawn mushrooms can be toxic or cause severe gastrointestinal distress.
