  1. #Today 07

    Good day!

    I wanted a picture of one of the terrifying woodland creatures I face to post a daily photo. 😉

    A pine squirrel, who screamed until I raised my camera. It then froze in this position in the crook, a typical behavior.

    It’s nice to see truly wild squirrels.

    Be everwell.

  2. #Today pt2

    Good day!

    I did it!

    I shot out of here and raced to the mountain. The air was rich with autumn and the approaching rain, not to mention last night’s rain.

    For half the hike it drizzled. If in the open, the breeze was frigid.

    As I reached my car the sky opened up.

    Be everwell.

  7. #Today 05

    Good day!

    Thanks to the storm off the west coast, we’ve been receiving at least a couple of strong rains each day.

    That’s quite a switch from virtually no moisture for two months.

    No more fire danger. No more smoke.

    The weather this year is quite an adventure.

    Be everwell.

  12. Salma AlamNaylor is having a dramatic exit from developer relations, yet somehow keeps us all on the edge of our seats by refusing to reveal her next move. 😱 Apparently, being an "international speaker" wasn't enough, so she's off to battle the AI overlords—after a deep dive into birds and nature, of course. 🐦✨

  13. 🐾 Giornata Mondiale del Tapiro

    La Giornata Mondiale del Tapiro, celebrata ogni anno il 27 aprile, torna anche nel 2026 con nuove storie, progetti e iniziative dedicate a uno degli animali più antichi e sorprendenti del pianeta. La ricorrenza, nata nel 2008 grazie a organizzazioni internazionali impegnate nella tutela della fauna selvatica, ha l’obiettivo di far conoscere meglio i tapiri e di sostenere le azioni per proteggerli dall’estinzione.

    Per collegarti all’articolo già pubblicato su Perfettamente Chic, puoi ripartire da qui: ⬇️

    https://perfettamentechic.com/2025/04/27/🐾world-tapir-day🐾/

    🌍 Perché proprio il 27 aprile?

    La data è stata scelta in onore di April, un tapiro di Baird nato in Belize, simbolo nazionale e amatissimo dagli ambientalisti. La sua nascita ricorre proprio il 27 aprile, trasformato così in un giorno dedicato alla celebrazione e alla protezione di tutti i tapiri del mondo.

    🐾 Novità e curiosità per il 2026

    Il 2026 porta con sé nuove iniziative che arricchiscono la celebrazione:

    • Programmi di conservazione rafforzati: continuano i progetti internazionali per proteggere le quattro specie di tapiro esistenti, tutte considerate in pericolo di estinzione.
    • Focus sul tapiro malese, il più raro e l’unico asiatico, con campagne dedicate alla tutela del suo habitat frammentato.
    • Coinvolgimento del pubblico: come nel caso del Bioparc Fuengirola, che nel 2025 ha lanciato una votazione per scegliere il nome di un cucciolo di tapiro malese — iniziativa che nel 2026 viene riproposta da diversi parchi zoologici per sensibilizzare i visitatori.
    • Nuove attività educative online: la community internazionale di World Tapir Day continua a crescere, con eventi digitali, dirette social e materiali informativi per far conoscere il ruolo ecologico dei tapiri, veri “giardinieri delle foreste”.

    🌱 Perché i tapiri sono così importanti?

    Oltre al loro aspetto buffo e preistorico, i tapiri svolgono un ruolo fondamentale negli ecosistemi tropicali: disperdono semi, modellano la vegetazione e contribuiscono alla salute delle foreste. Proteggerli significa proteggere interi habitat.

  14. Einer der schönsten Aussichtspunkte des Südschwarzwalds für einen beeindruckenden Alpenblick ist und bleibt der Belchen (1414m) - die zweitletzte, größere Erhebung Richtung Süden gesehen.

    Auch wenn ich diesen Berg schon unzählige Male - sowohl mit Wanderschuhen als auch mit Touren-Ski, bestiegen habe, ist es immer wieder aufs Neue ein Erlebnis - das richtige Wetter vorausgesetzt.
    Wenn man sich dann noch einen Tag herauspickt, an dem die Belchenbahn Revision hat, hält es sich mit dem Andrang auf dem Gipfel auch in Grenzen.

    Das Foto entstand vor fast einem Jahr im Dezember, als noch kein Schnee lag und eine Inversionswetterlage Traumblicke in alle Richtungen gewährte.

  15. As a few folks have pointed out, this post is filled with inaccuracies. Please read the replies in the thread!

    From "This Day in History" on FB:

    "She left civilization to live in the forest with a lynx, a wild boar, and a thieving crow. Scientists called her crazy. She proved them wrong.

    In 1975, a young Polish scientist named #SimonaKossak made a decision that baffled everyone who knew her.

    She had a doctorate. She had credentials. She came from one of Poland's most prestigious artistic families—her grandfather was Wojciech Kossak, the legendary painter whose work hung in museums.

    She could have had a comfortable university position. A modern apartment in Warsaw. A conventional career studying nature from a safe distance.
    Instead, Simona packed a single bag and walked into the #bialowiezaforest . And she stayed there for thirty years.

    Białowieża is no ordinary forest. It's the last remaining fragment of the primeval wilderness that once covered all of Europe—ancient, untouched, older than recorded history. Trees there grow so tall they seem to hold up the sky. Wolves still howl at night. European bison, extinct almost everywhere else, roam freely. It's the kind of place where you can still hear what the world sounded like before humans started building cities.

    Simona found a small wooden cabin deep in the forest's heart. No electricity. No running water. No neighbors for miles.
    Just trees. Silence. And the wild things.
    Most people would have lasted a week.

    Simona lasted decades.

    But she wasn't alone.

    She shared her bed with a lynx named Żabka. Not a pet—lynxes can't be pets. But Żabka had been orphaned as a cub, and Simona raised her. The massive cat would curl up beside her at night, purring like distant thunder.

    She rescued a wild boar named Żabka who followed her through the forest like a devoted dog, grunting softly when she spoke.

    And then there was Korasek. Korasek was a crow—but not just any crow. He was brilliant, mischievous, and absolutely devoted to chaos. He'd dive-bomb cyclists riding through the forest, steal shiny objects from tourists' pockets, and bring Simona "gifts": coins, buttons, pieces of foil.

    He'd sit on her shoulder while she worked, cawing commentary on everything she did.

    The locals whispered that Simona was a witch. How else could you explain it? Animals followed her. Birds landed on her outstretched hand. Deer approached without fear.

    She spoke to them, and somehow, impossibly, they seemed to understand.
    But Simona wasn't casting spells.
    She was listening.

    Most people walk through nature talking, making noise, asserting their presence. Simona did the opposite. She learned to move quietly, to observe patiently, to let the forest teach her its rhythms.

    She studied animal behavior not from textbooks, but by living among them. She documented species that had never been properly observed. She proved that wild animals weren't just instinct-driven automatons—they had personalities, emotions, complex social structures.
    Her research changed how scientists understood wildlife.

    But her most important work wasn't in journals.

    It was in the forest itself.

    Because while Simona was studying nature, others were trying to destroy it.
    #LoggingCompanies wanted to cut down the #AncientTrees. Developers wanted to build roads through the #wilderness.

    Bureaucrats argued that the forest was "too wild," that it needed to be "managed," controlled, made productive.

    Simona fought them all.

    She wrote letters. She filed lawsuits. She gave interviews where she spoke bluntly about what would be lost if the forest fell.

    She stood in front of bulldozers.
    She made powerful enemies.
    She didn't care.

    "This forest has survived for ten thousand years," she'd say. "Who are we to decide it should end on our watch?"

    Her cabin became a symbol. Journalists came from across Europe to photograph the woman who lived with wild animals. Documentaries were made. Her story spread.

    And slowly, the tide began to turn.
    Public opinion shifted. International pressure mounted. UNESCO got involved. The ancient forest, in large part because of Simona's tireless advocacy, gained greater protections.

    The trees she loved were saved.
    Simona Kossak lived in that cabin until 2007, when illness finally forced her back to the city. She died in 2007, at the age of 71.

    But her legacy didn't die with her.
    Today, Białowieża Forest stands as one of Europe's last true wildernesses—a living monument to what the continent once was. Tourists walk trails where Simona once walked with Żabka the lynx. Bison graze in meadows she fought to protect.

    Scientists still study the forest using methods she pioneered.

    And somewhere in those ancient trees, maybe, a descendant of Korasek steals something shiny from an unsuspecting hiker.

    Simona Kossak proved something the modern world desperately needs to remember:

    That you don't have to choose between science and intuition. Between civilization and wilderness. Between being human and being part of nature.

    She proved that sometimes the most rigorous science comes from simply paying attention. That the deepest understanding comes from respect, not dominance.

    She proved that one person, living authentically and fighting fiercely for what they love, can change the fate of an entire ecosystem.

    They called her a witch because she spoke to animals.

    She called herself a scientist because she listened.

    And she spent thirty years in a cabin without electricity, surrounded by wild things, protecting an ancient forest from a modern world that had forgotten how to be still.

    Simona Kossak wasn't running away from civilization.

    She was protecting something far more valuable than anything civilization could offer.

    And because of her, that forest still stands."
