A purple flower with tendrils that form nearly perfect circles grows into the center of the frame from the bottom. Bright yellow bokeh surrounded by darker greens in the background frames the flower nicely

A pretty little forked bluecurl for the #BlueSkyArtShow today

A single purple allium flower against a vivid green background. A big ball of purple.

I love onions and purple things. Allium is such a great thing. The #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Rounf all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments.

The stained-glass artwork is round with two smaller concentric circles; there is a round clear center, then there are two larger circular rings. The donuts are divided in unequal portions and a mimic sun rays from the center with rainbow colors ranging from red-orange-yellow-green-blue and purple. It's a happy, colorful window-hanging. I made this long ago, then it broke. I repaired it about a year ago and got to hang it again which made me very happy. It's my favorite stained glass that I have made.

A dreamy, moody shot of a lonely yellow wildflower blooming amidst hazy green leaves and a bokeh background.

A bit of spring found spotted in the midst of winter

A bright red bird with black-streaked wings, a black face "mask" and distinctive red crest on his head is perched on a bare branch on a very, very cold and sunny winter day.

Photo of the Tower Bridge in London, taken from Potters Fields Park on the south bank of the Thames. 2014

My favorite bridge in my favorite city. Hard to believe it's been a decade since I've visited. Time to go back!! 🇬🇧❤️

Hard to describe this grey and white image, with the bare tops of trees at the bottom edge. In the sky there is a really low level of clouds that have formed in a blanket with risen pockets of thinner coverage as evidenced by lighter color from above the cloud layer. Between these pockets are darker grey rounded ridges, all forming an organic cell tracery. To me it looks like an upside down polystyrene fruit layer separator with a lightbulb shining on the other side. I don’t know the proper name, but it looks like one of those pre-formed sheets with indentations that farmers put in the big boxes of fruit - spacing-out individual pieces to protect them from damage. I hope that makes sense. Alternatively - think of the batting inside a quilt that has been through too many washes and now it’s bunched up in ridges around threadbare pockets. Sorry if this doesn’t really help form a picture.

. . . aaaaand it’s #BlueSkyArtShow #clouds - and I finally have a place to share the freakiest sky I ever saw!

A photo of a dramatic supercell thunderstorm with a many-layered, rotating structure that is illuminated by multiple bright lightning strikes. The foreground includes a rural landscape with a dirt road, fence, and green trees/grass. Beside the storm is a crisp, clear night sky with stars shining.

In Sept. of 2023, I witnessed what was in my eyes the perfect storm. This intricately-structured, highly-electric supercell danced under a sky full of stars, looming over the landscape like the Mind Flayer while producing multiple funnels, bursts of sprites, and a barrage of lightning. #Photography

This is Frankie. He ran outside like he always does, only to find out his yard had been replaced with a white void. 12/10 (IG: frankiethenorfie)

Is there anything more wonderful than a pachyderm pile up? Yes, when it involves two calves born to orphans we’ve reintegrated. Zigi and Sulwe are among 91 tiny trunks born as a direct result of our Orphans’ Project – meet this next generation: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o...

This is Coral. She let cuteness aggression get the best of her. Her brother Crow figures he'll take that as a compliment. 13/10 for both (IG: crow_waya)

A smattering of scenes from our Nursery of late… Elephant sandwiches with Mzinga and Talek ensure baby Kipekee is surrounded by love, stockade snuggles between Tytan the rhino and Notty the zebra, and Olomunyak saving some for later.

Which is your favourite and why?

a small, white, long-haired puppy sits on wood flooring and looks up at you with dark eyes. the left side of his face is positioned closest to you so that it appears as if he's trying to hear you better with one ear. he has a mischievous and adorable glint in his eye. looks like it's time for you to stop working for the day.

This is Mochi. He wanted to see if you were done with work yet. Knows you just logged on, but still thought he'd check. 12/10 (IG: mochidanchoo)

This is Boomer. He walked right past his dad to say hi to mom, but quickly remembered his manners. 13/10 (FB: boomerthefloof)

Helgi (pale ginger) and Ragnar (darker), two ginger cats who are very bonded.

The lads (Helgi and Ragnar) are here to wish you a pleasant start to the week. They heartily recommend snuggling up to your brother (with their permission of course).Take care and have a peaceful day.

Twenty-five years ago, Nasalot was a traumatised poaching orphan who would only sleep during daylight. Today, she's a mother of three living wild – here with newborn Nala – and look who's in tow. That's Naleku, our Mara rescue from 2020, taking on babysitting duties with: swt.bio/nasalot
