This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.
The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.
The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
A Pyramid Of Otters.
Mum and her two cubs had just returned from hunting out in the loch, and were busy grooming themselves and each other, when a noisy farm vehicle thundered by along the road nearby.
All three looked in that direction, and gave me the opportunity to capture this image.
Such beautiful creatures, though not to be messed with, as they're skilled predators.

Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have liked, boosted and commented on my images, and to all the new followers I have. It's rather humbling. 😊
Today's shot comes from a magical day in the Scottish #Highlands, a few years ago, when I was photographing red squirrels.
These charming characters are incredibly agile and can jump great distances between trees.
Here I managed to capture one as it appears to be flying down my lens.
This is what being trans and acceptance means to me
This amazing woman right here, my nana❤️
Even though she didn't fully understand, she accepted and loved me and helped me me transition at 16 in the 90s a time when it was really heard of or accepted, but she stood my me, and allowed me to live the last 25yrs as my authentic self and be the woman I am today ❤️
I love her so much and owe her everything

Somewhere, someone finally made this and I think it's beautiful: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4687836
I probably will not watch the World Cup. I hate to think of a single dime being given from an advertiser, because I watched, to a country that punishes those who do not align with the religious beliefs of the majority.
Trans Day of Remembrance 🏳️⚧️ "You are not alone, there are those out there that are standing beside you and fighting with you for your rights to be who you are, you will succeed"
"You are absolutely entitled to live your life and express your gender in any way that you want. You are beautiful, you are worthy, you are loved and needed in this world"
"Be yourself, and know that you're supported by more people than you know"
Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.
