A low woodland view across a soft carpet of bright green moss covering a fallen log. The moss forms a short, velvety layer only a few millimetres tall, spreading smoothly across the wood like living felt. Rising above the surface are many slender reddish stalks, moss sporophytes, each topped with a small green capsule where spores develop. The capsules lean slightly in different directions, giving the scene the appearance of a miniature forest of delicate stems growing above the mossy carpet. The background woodland fades into gentle blur, suggesting damp shaded habitat where moss and other bryophytes thrive on decaying wood.

Very short, velvety moss on a fallen log in King’s Wood today, Corby.

Have an epic weekend!

I do love to see statues depicted in pixel art. This is masterful!

An assortment of sprouted ginger tubers

More tuber casualties than last time, but all in all I dub them a happy bunch #gardening

Green shoots in a green container of dirt

The ones without a greenhouse environment sprouted just fine, maybe I overthought this

An orb weaver fooling absolutely no one

Some bent shoots

Lol forgot I was using a cake case for my temporary greenhouse and my ginger sprouts kinda grew against the lid

You look like you need a painting by one of my favourite Irish artists, Gerard Dillon [1916-1971]. He was revolutionary in Irish art in being depicting his homosexuality at a time when it was illegal. Decriminalisation would not take place until 22 years after his death! [1]

Dramatic shot of Female Link standing her ground, legs stretched back against a flow of dust and debris. She holds a sword aloft that reveals a demon creature. The sky and lights are red, and her hair and skirt and hat are blown about in the wind.

FemLink Friday! Facing dust, debris, and demons.

I know this has been talked about to death already but I want to talk about Chuck Close! He was known for making huge photorealistic portraits. One day at the height of his career he had a sudden seizure caused by a spinal blood clot that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

🔥🔥🔥wanna buy some pottery🔥🔥🔥 (I spent longer on making this than i care to admit)

My fresh-from-the-kiln rounded jar with shino glaze and ash deposits. Fired in gas reduction to 1300C.

Plus some lovely magnolia blossoms from my tree. I made it through another winter! Just...

I love when Nell's designs are not quite symmetrical.

an eel with the face of a man

Had to quickly sketch out this eel with a man's face after hearing @yochaigal.bsky.social talk about how eels look like they have a person's face on Between Two Cairns

A horse-like creature with a wolfish smile riding over a wave while trailing seaweed in its mane and tail with a moon and night sky background

It won't stop raining here in Wales so I'm left with no choice but to blame the Welsh water horse tricksters for it
