Instead of endless wastelands of mowed grass lawns, consider:

this only works in places with lots of rain, a temperate summer, and a nice cold winter. like England. or Michigan.

True! Unless you can find an economical way to irrigate, more appropriate lawn alternatives in hotter, more arid places might lean more to prairie meadows using local grasses and wildflowers:

Or, they might mean doing classic landscaping, but with rocks and xeriscape plants:

Or having a cactus garden:

There are lots of exciting possibilities once you throw the classic turf lawn out the window!

these are all so beautiful and all I can think is ‘that stone arc isn’t a stargate and I’m sad about it’

Ceyx Mindanensis,

Meet the ultra-colourful Southern Philippine dwarf kingfisher.

The Philippines is home to an incredibly colourful group of kingfishers ‘Ceyx Mindanensis’ the tiniest species of forest kingfisher.

Very few people have the opportunity to see one, but field biologist Miguel David De Leon from the Robert S. Kennedy Bird Conservancy was lucky enough to recently photograph the dwarf kingfisher.

Let these images brighten up your day!

For People Experiencing Homelessness, 'Stay At Home' Is Impossible

Libraries, gyms, coffee shops and fast food restaurants all help fill gaps in the social safety net. But with those spaces closed due to the coronavirus, unhoused people have few places to go.

For the past 16 months, Angelo Mike has been living in his beige Toyota Camry in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. It’s difficult for obvious reasons: no bed, no kitchen, no bathroom. But, Mike says, structure and organization make it manageable.

Until recently, his daily routine involved waking up by 6:00 a.m. most mornings and heading to a nearby gym. There he’d exercise and shower. If he didn’t need to be on set — Mike works as a crew member on movie sets — he’d head to the library after the gym to work on his laptop and search for new gigs.

Then came the coronavirus. “Basically the only place I go now is the park,” Mike says.

Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.

This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.

If we can, we are probably going to keep her.

[violetohara]

What a difference a day makes! Took this little guy to the vet, got the fleas and dirt washed off him, got some antibiotics for a slight cold, but he is otherwise fine. Kneading and purring up a storm, eating a lot and being heart-crushingly adorable.

We have named this glorious creature Nux.

[violetohara]

A little over a month later and Nux is growing into a very long and floppy shoulder cat!

[conquerorwurm]

[the-polyhedron]

[violetohara]
