BADLANDS

Geology PhD. I like to ride bikes and read books. Sometimes I sew stuff but mostly I steal my friends' socks to fix holes in them.

Here’s a Carolina Wren bathing on a leaf.

I hope she washes away the bad happenings in your day. 💕

Vibe checking. Nepal

I was curious about a source on this because OP has it tagged as “india,” while the two comments above affirm it as Nepal.

Interestingly, reverse image search brought up this photo, which appears to be a capture of the exact same moment, just from a different angle: 

Nepalese farmers throw mud at each other in a paddy field in Tau-Daha village on the outskirts of Kathmandu on June 29, 2010. The farmers are celebrating National Paddy Day on ‘Asar 15’ of the Nepali calendar as the annual rice planting season begins. AFP PHOTO/Prakash MATHEMA

Two more photos of continued vibe checking, also from Prakash Mathema [1] [2]

And a personal favourite from 2018 (in Lele village):

[Addition to the description of these images: the farmers are all women wearing red, smiling and laughing as they throw mud and chase each other through the rice fields.]
