Just moved here after 4 years on another instance, so a new introduction is in order.

I'm a zoology graduate, but spent most of my working life as a programmer.

Also interested in languages & photography.

I've lived in England, Wales, & The Netherlands.

I spend more time than I would like worrying about politics & economics.

Keeper of cats.

#AlicePics #Reclaimed #Nature #Photography

A picnic table, halfway surrounded by an old wooden fence. A beaver dam has raised the water level, so now the bench is standing in a couple feet of water—its reflection and the reflections of the trees and fence are mirrored in the water.

Spring has sprung, and soon salmonberries will be on my pancakes 🤤

Fun fact: much like me, the rubus spectabilis is a prickly bisexual flower.

#AlicePics #Nature #Photography #BisexualAwareness

A very green salmonberry atop a very green leaf. Pink reproductive parts jut from the fruiting body in the remnants of the blossom.

Got a nice beaver shot while hanging out with my girlfriend in the woods.

A photo of a fallen and stripped tree in the lush woods. The tree has been felled by beaver activity, and the ground is strewn with woodchips.

Found this cool stump while at the park with my girlfriend the other day. I love how it just decided to spiral one day (I can relate).

#AlicePics #Nature #Photography #Mushtodon

A large hollow tree stump. Part of it forms a spiral which has bear bread fungi growing on it.

Sunset at ‘t Bluk

#Landscape #Photography

A serene and expansive sandy landscape under a bright, late-day sun. The foreground is dominated by rolling sand dunes, their surfaces textured with countless footprints and subtle shadows. Scattered across the dunes are a few solitary trees and patches of low-lying vegetation. The sky above is a blend of pale blue and soft white clouds, streaked with wispy contrails from passing aircraft. The sun, positioned towards the right side of the frame, casts a warm glow over the scene.

Woodland edge

#SilentSunday #Landscape #Photography

The foreground is dominated by a lush carpet of green grass interspersed with a dense bloom of blue wildflowers. Two mature trees frame the scene on the left and right edges. Above the vibrant foreground, the background features a tapestry of green foliage from various trees and bushes, creating a sense of depth. The sky peeks through the canopy in patches, revealing a clear and bright blue with a few scattered white clouds.

Willkommen im #Weserbergland mit dem @weserberglander auf #mastodon!
Welcome in the #Weserbergland with @weserberglander on #mastodon!

In der Regel veröffentlichen wir ein Bild pro Tag. Am Ende der Woche (Sonnabend) werden daraus ein bis zwei Siegerbilder gekürt, nämlich das am meisten favorisierte und das am meisten geteilte, um beiden Kategorien gerecht zu werden.

Danke für das Favorisieren und Teilen sagt der @weserberglander

Wir blicken von der Ottensteiner Hochebene auf den Solling, das größte zusammenhängende Waldgebiet des Weserberglandes. Im Vordergrund liegt ein grünes Feld, es könnte sich um wachsende Wintergerste handeln, dahinter ein kleiner Streifen blühender Raps. Dann folgen grün belaubte Bäume und im Hintergrund schließlich der bis zu 528 m hohe Solling. Dazwischen schlängelt sich der Weserstrom, was aber auf diesem Bild nicht zu sehen ist.

ALT

Wir blicken auf den Ort Ottenstein und sehen wie über der Kirchturmspitze eine Wolke schwebt, die auf ihrem Kondensationsniveau grau erscheint und nach oben hin weiß ist.

ALT

Wir erkennen im Vordergrund ein blühendes Rapsfeld im Hintergrund sehen wir eine mittelgebirgsartige Hügelkette Punkt das Bild wird aber zu zwei Dritteln dominiert von dem blauen Himmel und den grau-weißen Wolken. Ein Freund von mir sagt immer, ein Blick zum Himmel sei für ihn ein intensiver Kurzurlaub...

📷 Otro ejemplo más de que «la foto» se encuentra en el lugar más insospechado. En este viaje a San Petersburgo (2014) solo me llevé una compacta vieja porque iba a alojarme en Peterhof y pensé que por allí no habría gran cosa que fotografiar...

Las «noches blancas», un lago y una iglesia ortodoxa me convencieron de lo contrario. ¡Debería haberme llevado la cámara buena! 😩

Buenos días 🖖🏼

#photography #fotografía #rusia #russia #stpetersburg #peterhof #lake #reflections

Una típica iglesia ortodoxa emerge de entre los árboles. Cielo azul con unas pocas nubes (pese a que eran las 23 horas). Tanto la iglesia como el cielo se reflejan perfectamente en el agua del lago, creando una imagen casi simétrica (en vertical).

Such a good crow friend 🖤🖤

A close photo of a crow on a white flower-petal covered concrete step, against a backdrop of vivid green grass. The beautiful crow is eying me as I take the picture.

I'm a #cancer and #CPTSD survivor, hEDS, carer, #bi+ activist, former union rep, #polyamorous person, great cook, #photographer, #feminist, #atheist (former Catholic), #SJW, #gamer (all types), and generally awesome. I will block TERFs, SWERFs, and other bigots.

I am agender and you can use any pronoun you like for me.

I tend to post about my own lived experience (will use Content Warnings when necessary), #photography, #feminism (the real, trans-inclusive kind), cooking, usefulness of instructions, how little sleep I got, whether I am in pain, and sometimes frustrations.

Would love to follow more photographers, #feminists (the trans-inclusive ones), #writers, #musicians, people with similar political opinions to mine, people who love cooking, people who play games.
