The image shows a close-up view of a vibrant yellow flower with a focus on its central components. In the center, a small green pistil is surrounded by numerous yellow stamens coated with pollen. Two small ants are visible navigating the flower's interior—one on the green pistil and one on the stamens. The background is a soft blur of yellow petals, creating a smooth, warm texture that contrasts with the detailed reproductive structures of the flower.

Please leave the leaves. And make a vow: no more leaf blowers!

#Nature #Bees #Biodiversity

Cutaway drawing of a bumblebee queen hibernating inside a leaf-covered nest in the corner of a yard beneath the snow.
Text says:
MOST BUMBLEBEE QUEENS NEST JUST BELOW THE GROUND OR UNDER PILES OF BRUSH IN WINTER.
LEAVE THE LEAVES. BAN THE LEAF BLOWER. IN THE SPRING, AVOID RAKING, TILLING AND MOWING UNTIL THE QUEENS EMERGE FROM THEIR WINTER NESTS IN MAY.

I painted this watercolor painting of happy wildflowers - daisies and poppies - some years ago, but I still like it. So I thought I share it with you here today...

Smiling Robin is a watercolor painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small European Robin with a bright orange breast stands on a light blue shadow. The background is minimalist and emphasises the colorful presence of the bird. The little bird looks towards the viewer and seems to smile at him in a friendly manner.
Like other songbirds, the robin is a welcome guest in my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.

🧵 1/8 Why you have to wait for another episode of my #podcast #NatureMatchCuts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/naturematchcuts/id1630784381

No one has yet dared to ask where the next episode is. I already have a guilty conscience. But it's not working yet. Why?
I try to summarise the causes as briefly as possible. I like the word "turmoil" for this.

First, the star of my podcast had died. Even though I'm over it now (I still miss him a lot): I'm missing something fundamental

This is perfect. We humans tend to center ourselves in everything. This is true with animals, land, and even other people.

A moss jungle on a rock 🌴 🌲

#moss #Mosstodon #nature

The photo shows a grey rock surface covered with a few dry leaves, pine needles and small twigs.
Various densely grown mosses have settled in the centre of this rock.
These different mosses have grown together in such a way that they resemble a round island with a small jungle of bushes, palms and other trees.
