Sketchbook page of 5 drawings of Tortoises in blue pen. At the top of the page is the text Tortoise and 8/11/25. The top of the page is a Tortoise eating a large strawberry. Below is the face of a Tortoise and a Tortoise behind and the word Booty, and some hearts. To the bottom left is a smiling Tortoise face and to the right is a Tortoise with its neck stretched and the text Stretch.

A picture of a thrifted, half circle wood piece with a formline design painted on it. The design depicts a sitting brown rabbit on a field of bright green grass, surrounded by pollen and small blue and pink flowers.

A picture of the same piece, but from a higher angle. Along the edge of the wood piece is a symmetrical formline design of a white rabbit lying down.

Male and female Green Jayโ€™s look alike but we can tell this Jay comes from the south because of its bright yellow belly. 

โ€œThe Green Jay (Cyanocorax yncas) is a colorful, social bird from the crow family, known for its bright green, yellow, and blue plumage with a black and blue head, found from southern Texas through Central America and into South America.โ€

Our Jay is seen in full profile, facing to our left. Theyโ€™ve landed on the end small vertical branch and look ready to fly off!

This Striking Butterfly Is Half Male and Half Female We explain bilateral gynandromorphism - seen in butterflies, birds, and crustaceans. Half the animal is female, and the other half is male.

"We expect butterflies to be both beautiful and symmetrical; however, some are not. Gynandromorphism is estimated to occur in about one in 10,000 butterflies. In this article, we explain how this phenomenon occurs."

Close-up of the harvestman eggs which are pale and round. Within several of them you can clearly see the pair of dark eyes of the tiny baby harvestman inside waiting to hatch out. In several you can also just make out the legs wrapped around the body.

Cuteness overload: adorable baby harvestman, newly hatched, alongside a cluster of eggs - the eyes of the babies are clearly visible inside the unhatched eggs and you can just make out the legs. They were found under a stone in my local cemetery. #arachnids #harvestmen

The Diameter Of The Bomb
The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters
and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters,
with four dead and eleven wounded.
And around these, in a larger circle
of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered
and one graveyard. But the young woman
who was buried in the city she came from,
at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers,
enlarges the circle considerably,
and the solitary man mourning her death
at the distant shores of a country far across the sea
includes the entire world in the circle.
And I wonโ€™t even mention the crying of orphans
that reaches up to the throne of God and
beyond, making a circle with no end and no God.

Macro photograph, in top view, of two insects standing on a cluster of small, 4-petalled white flowers. Both insects have a red head and thorax and black at their back ends. The beetle on the right is slightly broader, and has a narrow white line separating the red and black parts of its body, as to suggest a narrow ant waist.
