I've created a Bluesky account that automatically posts everything I post to Pixelfed from now on, so to get it going I'm reposting this older picture that was one of my first posts on Pixelfed. In case you're interested: my bluesky account is @puckbarton.nl but sadly since it's just a bot, I can't follow people back

Good #morning, blooms and bloomettes!

It looks like spring is finally here, and that's great news for my allergies. They didn't have much to do the past few months, and so they're making up for lost time. So excuse me while I sneeze through this weekend. It's got nothing to do with you.

Good morning. 🍁🌑☕

5 April 2025

A couple of days ago, I spotted a coal skink (Plestiodon anthracinus) slithering around in my office. It darted under and between the books piled beside my bookcase, prompting me to search behind the books, a small chest, and my shredder to locate the intruder. I managed to grab it with my right hand, but it escaped by slipping through my grip and likely took refuge behind the bookcase. With two heavy desks and the bookcase in my office, I wasn't willing to rearrange everything just to chase down a small lizard. I would have gladly taken it outside, where its survival prospects would be far better than in my cluttered office. On the bright side, the encounter motivated me to organize my bookcase, turning the pile of books next to it into a neatly arranged collection.

"This image features a close-up of a single leaf illuminated by sunlight, drawing attention to its vivid orange-red hue. The backlighting highlights the intricate network of veins running through the leaf, giving it a translucent and almost glowing appearance. The interplay of light and shadow enhances its texture, while the surrounding branches and subtle background foliage create a natural, serene context. The focus on the leaf and its radiance makes for a striking composition, beautifully capturing a moment of nature's artistry. Credit for the photograph is noted as "Swede's Photographs" in the bottom left corner, adding a professional touch. It's a truly captivating scene!" - Copilot

Good #morning, bees and beeyettes!

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, but it's been quite busy around here. And yes, I realize I've been using that excuse for weeks now, but I, too, would like for my life to quiet down for one fucking minute so I can catch up on all the things I want to do. So far, no luck though.

Good morning. ☮️✌️🪻

4 April 2025

Yesterday, we spent time working in the backyard. I repaired a hinge on the back gate and mowed the lawn for the first time this year. I also trimmed around the fence until the battery on my trimmer died—I had forgotten to recharge it after its last use. In that moment, I couldn’t help but think, 'What a wonderful feature: built-in breaks! 😂' It turned out to be the perfect excuse to call it a day. Meanwhile, my wife was busy in the raised garden, planting something new. I noticed several little seed packets in the kitchen, hinting at her plans. This is the first time in years that something other than weeds will grow in the garden. I can't help but wonder what’s gotten into us—where did this burst of energy come from? Must be biorhythms at work.

Flower Child This photograph captures the striking beauty of purple false foxgloves (Purple Gerardia), wildflowers I encountered in the area. To enhance its visual appeal, I creatively adjusted the light properties, introducing vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and blue into the background. The result is an image with a captivating, 60s-inspired psychedelic aesthetic. "This image showcases a close-up view of a flowering plant with purple blossoms and buds. The flowers have a delicate, slightly translucent quality to their petals. Surrounding the plant is a vivid, colorful background with shades of red, yellow, green, and blue, making the composition dynamic and artistic. The stems and buds are detailed, showing natural veins and a lush green hue. The combination of vibrant colors and soft floral textures creates a striking visual appeal." - Copilot
