I'm not saying everybody needs to become a vegan/vegetarian right now, that is up to each individual, but we should avoid the worst of the worst.

That is, if we want to at least keep a few of the giants of the seas alive.

"I think it's another humbling moment that we're not the only species with rich, communicative, communal and cultural lives," said David Gruber, founder and president of Project CETI. "These whales could be passing information along generation to generation to generation for over 20 million years. Humans now are just having the right tools and desire to be able to look at whale voices in this way to see the complexity that has been there all along."

My amaryllis just bloomed. I've had it for 4 yrs now & this is only the 2nd yr it's bloomed. This variety is commonly called butterfly amaryllis and I just love the color/feathering ๐Ÿ‘.

Vertical head-on view photograph of a butterfly amaryllis flower in a bright window with out of focus freesia foliage in the background. The flower takes up the center frame. This variety of amaryllis tops a thick stiff stem or flower spike and has six, pointed teardrop-shaped petals that create a trumpet-like oblong star structure, and which radiate from a center with six long stamens and a pistil. Each petal is a pale lime green with maroon edges and feathering that is dense near the flower's center and becomes streaky towards the petal tips. The six stamens are white with tan anthers, and the pistil is white with a white stigma.

Crabapple blossom

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

A close-up of a Crabapple blossom, iconic heralds of spring. The flower features soft, paper-thin petals with a gentle gradient, shifting from a pale, almost translucent white at the center to a light apple-blossom pink toward the edges. The stamens are topped with yellow, pollen-bearing anthers. A single, vibrant green leaf with serrated edges is visible just behind the bloom, providing a sharp color contrast to the soft pastels.

Four benefits of going out in the rain

Humans are more sensitive to the smell of rain than sharks are to blood. And rain has some surprising benefits for our bodies too โ€“ especially when it comes to our mood.

Blue Companions

Here is an Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) pair. The larger bluebird on the right is an adult male, and to his left is a juvenile bluebird.

Step into a world where even the smallest momentsโ€”like the glint in a bird's eyeโ€”tell their own story.

"Two Eastern Bluebirds perch side by side on a thin powerline, suspended against a soft, blurred wash of green foliage. The bird on the right is an adult male, and he looks almost luminous โ€” his head and back a bright, clean blue, his chest a warm, rusty orange that seems to glow against the muted background. His posture is upright and alert, as if heโ€™s keeping watch over the scene. Beside him, on the left, sits a juvenile bluebird. Itโ€™s smaller, rounder, and softer in color โ€” its feathers a mix of dusky blue and gray, with faint speckles across the chest that hint at youth. The young birdโ€™s posture is more relaxed, almost leaning toward the adult, giving the pair a quiet, intimate feel, like a parent and child sharing a moment of calm. The powerline beneath them is a simple dark line, cutting cleanly across the frame, giving the birds a stage to rest on. Behind them, the background melts into gentle shades of green, out of focus, making the birds stand out sharply โ€” two small, vivid lives perched together in a peaceful, suspended moment." - Microsoft Copilot

Africaโ€™s forests have flipped from carbon sink to #carbon source

source: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026โ€ฆ

New #research has delivered a stark warning about a major change in Africa's forests. Once a crucial part of the fight against #climate change, these #forests are now releasing more carbon than they absorb.

Many tipping points have likely already been crossed. This means that a truly dire and threatening future lies ahead for the next generation. Weโ€™ve known this since the 1970s, but #capitalism could not be stopped.

Africaโ€™s forests have flipped from carbon sink to carbon source

Africaโ€™s forests have undergone a shocking reversal, switching from carbon absorbers to carbon emitters after 2010.

If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take it down.

A University of Delaware study analyzed nearly 14,000 insects killed by zappers over one summer. Mosquitoes accounted for less than 1%. The other 99%? Moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and other beneficial insects.

It's even worse than it sounds: mosquitoes find you by carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your zapper is completely invisible to them.

Meanwhile it's running all night massacring the pollination night shift.
