Calling all #nature and #MarineBiology friends, can anyone tell us what these little jellies are? Beach, Isle of Arran.

Clear see-through jellies on a sandy beach. They are small, size of the end of a thumb maybe, and have vertical ridges all around. Kinda shaped like acorns.

First day of the FEST storytelling conference was great! Attended two workshops on environmental storytelling: one on wolves (Dougie Mackay) and one on environmental literacy (Cara Silversmith), and an amazing "provocation" presentation on diversity in the European storytelling community (by Aoife O'Connor and Peter Chand). In the evening I heard Stephe Harrop tell her Queens of Albion story and it was powerful ❤️

I reported 5+ "great nature photography!" pages on FB today. All of them were posting ridiculous AI generated animal images. I am so sick and tired of this.

(And yes, I'm on FB, because as a freelancer it's hard not to be. But it's just a glorified email account by now.)

I made a rainbow of (some of the many) birds that have documented same sex pairs and behavior.

Scarlet ibis
Guianan cock-of-the-rock (yes really)
Peach-faced lovebird
White fronted amazon
Satin bowerbird
Pukeko

Happy #PrideMonth 😄🌈

Photos of the colorful birds listed above, making a rainbimow scale. Scarlet ibis is bright red with a long curved beak and long pink legs. The cock-of-the-rock is bright orange with a domed crest over its beak. The lovebird is yellow with a pink face. The amazon is green with a red circle around its eye. The bowerbird is shiny deep blue. And the pukeko is a bluish purple color with a red beak.

We're all species at risk.
We need our leaders to take concrete action to tackle the climate emergency, which includes halting new fossil fuel development and implementing a rapid, just and equitable phase-out of existing fossil fuels.

We must abandon the flawed notion that the climate emergency is an isolated issue; global heating, though catastrophic, is merely one symptom of a profound environmental crisis of ecological overshoot.

Since 1990, the world has lost more than 420 million hectares or about a billion acres of forest and humans continue to cut down 10 football pitches of forest every minute of every single day.

Saw this stork today, sizing up an ice cream truck outside the stork sanctuary. Wonder what they were in the mood for. 😄

Went on a forest bathing tour at the Jókai Gardens in Budapest. It was all dripping after a huge thunderstorm, with millions of snails out and about, and it was lovely. It was led by one of the nature reserve's educators. In the end, we picked up (strictly) fallen things to make tiny land art. 😊

A small mandala made of fallen maple leaves, maple seeds, and sticks. Sort of looks like a circle of dragonflies.

Happy lil moss

The edge of a concrete fence post up close, with bushes and branches in the background. On the edge there are two little patches of moss, like miniature green hills, with long brown fuzzy stalks growing out of them.

Another Minoan seal design, because why the heck not 😄 Evans described it as "goddess reposing on the waves of the sea". Just chillin. It's one of my favorites. 🥰 The second pic is the original artifact.

An oval glass pendant on my palm, 2cm wide. It features the black line drawing of a stylized Minoan figure, a woman in a flounced skirt and bare breasts reclining against a blue and green background of stylized waves.

Governments need to build resilience against extreme weather, droughts, and floods.

Intact forest landscapes and other nature areas are our safety net, protecting people against extreme weather and climate crisis impacts.

Forgotten green goddess in a green park 💚

Photo of a statue depicting a woman who carries flowers (fruit?) in the folds of her dress. The statue is weathered, face almost blank, covered in moss and lichen. There is a big chestnut tree in the background.

Encounter on the morning walk 😊 Waited to make sure they made it across the path into the hedge.

For #EarthDay, I am sharing an older blog post:
Folktales about Climate Change

I collected some traditional stories about taking care of our natural home, and what happens when we don't.

Folktales about climate change

While "cimate change" as a scientific term is too recent to feature into traditional stories, make no mistake: People have been telling lege...

The idea that planets were born from giant clouds in space is called the "nebular hypothesis."

It originated with Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg, way back in 1734. But only now can astronomers directly observe that, yes, planets really do form in clouds around newborn stars. Science takes time.

The Formation of the Solar System According to Swedenborg. Swedenborg’s On the Principles of Natural Things consists of three volumes: the first is entitled Natural Principles, the second On Iron and the third On Copper and Orichalcum. In all of them the text is accompanied by elaborate diagrams. Plate 26, which appears in the third part of Volume 1, is headed “De Chao Universali Solis et Planetarum” and explains the formation of the solar system. In Fig. 1 the crust formed by the original nebula as it solidified is about to burst. Fig. 2 shows the state of confusion and collapse as pieces of the sun are scattered through space. In Fig. 3 the crust has reformed as a disc surrounding the proto-sun. In Fig. 4 the pieces have separated into individual spheres: the planets.

Cosmogenesis (8) : The Nebular Hypothesis, by Jean-Pierre Luminet

Sequel of the preceding post Cosmogenesis (7) : The Date of the Creation The Nebular Hypothesis The ancient Babylonians had a different idea of how the world began. They believed that it had evolved rather than being created instantaneously.
