i am a disabled teenager and one of the things i lost access to when i became disabled was my love of nature. Both Alveus and my own bird feeders have given me back the motivation to get outside, even if it is just a chair in my backyard :)i have been outside once every day this week! (Huge for me!)
Lake District National Park
by Tiny_jesse (They/them) near Glenridding, England, United Kingdom — October 9, 2026
My extended family retracted my Grandparents most frequented trip after rasing money for the local air rescue service in honour of my Granddad. who loved to walk across the UK but especially the Lake District
The blooming of the false willow, Baccharis neglecta
If you are in Texas or nearby, every October this plant blooms and attracts tons of butterflies, wasps, bees, flies, and more. It is probably one of the biggest pollinator magnets in the area for a very limited time. All bugs this week were found on a single false willow over a couple days.
I am in a 3D Design & Sculpt class right now for a graduate program and was assigned to make a reptile sculpt. Inspired by Toaster Strudel at Alveus Sanctuary, I made a Blue Tongued Skink sculpt using reference images online and visuals of Toaster Strudel I found. I hope everyone enjoys it!

I went on a much needed holiday to Lisbon last week and this was hands down the best experience! Lisbon Oceanarium is one of the largest indoor aquariums in Europe, and id divided into four distinct ocean habitats (North Atlantic, Antarctic, Temperate Pacific and Tropical Indian).
"This land is us; and the flood years and the dust years and the drought years are us" J Steinbeck
El nino served us quite the heat wave this week, so i did not go out and take photos as much as usual, but i still took a few. Some spiders came out to help decorate for the spooky season.
5 years ago I lost my Grandma. She was an incredible woman who fostered a real love of birds and wildlife in me. Through her I was inspired to try my hand at wildlife photography and have taken pictures of a variety of birds and other wildlife in her memory over these past years. Here are a few!
Cool bug
by Shalu(She/her) near Maine Township, Illinois, United States — October 3, 2026 — Gave 1 Hour for Earth
We’ve had this cool spider (?) outside of our house for the whole week. He’s kinda turned into almost a pet for my family, constantly checking in. Look how cool his underside looks 🤩
