Trebah Gardens, Cornwall. A lovely, peaceful place to explore. #silentsunday #garden #photography #nature #memories
A moorland puddle, or an entrance to the underworld...
This is a trapdoor spider from the Foulden Maar fossil site in New Zealand. Spiders are incredibly rare as fossils but every now and then we get fantastic specimens (you can even see hairs on its legs!)

Very pleased with this #print of the #simurgh, I had a lot of fun with the border and the integument of the simurgh. I think I'll do a cormorant or dinosaur in this style next.

@newghoststories Big fan of Machen. #HillofDreams
#BOTD Arthur Machen. An author and occultist, Machen is a hugely influential figure in the development of weird fiction and folk horror. Stephen King described his story The Great God Pan as "Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language." Other works include The Three Imposters and The Bowmen, which created the legend of the Angel of Mons. #horror #arthurmachen #weirdfiction #folkhorror
Good to see that the #beavers 🦫 are thriving on the #RiverOtter in #Devon. Lots of signs of activity like this. Hopefully I’ll even get to see the elusive creatures one day.
A hidden fairy bridge, in Glen Creran Scotland. The bridge is about 1mt wide, and well off the beaten track up in a forest on a hillside, quite magical. I have posted this before but I was on another server then, so posting again. #MyOccasionalBridges #BridgesOfMastodon #Bridge #Fairy #Scotland
One from a few weeks ago that I have only just come across. It was taken shortly after sunrise in Glastonbury. That sky!

On behalf of scientists can I just say what a monumental fuck up this is.
