I make silly animations & pictures. Everything I post is made by me, unless clearly stated otherwise.

Interested in all thing visual (#Animation #Photography #sillyScribbles) and many things relating to #Politics, #HumanRights & the world around us.

Have been known to meticulously edit photos to create something fantastical, but quite often just scribble on things.

Leans to the left. Quite a lot. Full of woke nonsense, & quite happy about it. She/her.

I may have mentioned this before, but my best friend consumes no news. Zero. Not from TV, radio, internet news sites, newspapers… she doesn’t use social media. The other day she asked who the Prime Minister is right now. I reminded her that this a basic piece of information medics check you can remember to see if you may have a brain injury. I don’t know if I’m appalled by or envious of her stance. It’s a conscious decision, and she says it brings her happiness

@purplepadma Wow. Genuinely flabbergasted that it's possible. Similarly don't know if I'm impressed or appalled!

Nosy question: does she vote?

@purplepadma 😮

I'm assuming it's not a lives in the middle of the woods totally off-grid thing though?

I mean... HOW?!

My flabber has never been so gasted

Having established that dandelion seed heads are definitely NOT known as DANDELION CLOCKS by everyone I have a follow on question...

What DO you know them as?

Chatting to people already I have had FLUFFS (Lithuania) and WINDY PUFFS (Canada) both of which are SUPERB.

Are there any others? Will there be enough to make a World Map of Dandelion Names?! 😃

Places, names & any other trivia welcome!

@NatureMC @iuveaene Oh, I was just popping back to ask that! In parts of the UK the individual seeds are known as fairies (when they're flying around) and I wondered if the lion tooth was possibly the component part (edit: ah, just seen the French, possibly the whole plant).

@dilmandila Oh, that's fascinating. Would people blow them (as they often do in the UK) to disperse them, or would that be seen as inappropriate?

@eclectech@things.uk avatar

@alberto_cottica Absolutely!

@Dewines Yes, this is my experience too 🙂 Apologies @NatureMC I didn't see your question about the clock.

@megatronicthronbanks Awesome! Where was that?

I'm going to have to step away from the dandelion fluff thread for a while, but big thanks to everyone sharing their names, and know that my future will definitely involve a dandelion spreadsheet leading to some kind of summary infographic 😆

@bocs Wow! That is a fine bounty of clocks!

@NeadReport That one loses some of the whimsical nature of the other suggestions 😆

Not wishing to glorify violence and stuff, but I reckon Friend is doing a fine job pulling off the mobster look here.

Slightly more concerned by how Myfanwy's tie is staying on.

@eclectech@things.uk avatar

@AnguaDelphine Oh, I hadn't thought about clip-on ties. Excellent.

Proposal.

We continue to call trees trees, but when they're really tall we indicate that linguistically by elongating the word.

Here, for example, we have a very splendid treeeeeeeeeeeeee.

(this might be a sign for me to step away from the computer for a while, later lovelies!)

@menelion Yes! This is definitely a Good Idea.

Realised Myfanwy & Friend had been a bit quiet this week. Thought they might like a trip to the woodland planet I was walking in earlier.

@teapot_ben Bwahahaha! Excellent!

(actually, I do have one that works well in there...)

It's very warm today, so I escaped into the woods in search of shade. It was green and lush and lovely.

A close up photo of white hawthorn flowers. There are numerous clumps of them, the one in the foreground in focus, the others blurred.
A close up photo of the top of a fern against a blurred green background. It has a single stem splitting into three, each with its leaves still furled up into curls.
A photo taken looking up into a sunlit tree, so there are layers of leaves visible, the main ones being quite close and in focus. Patterns are created by the shadows of leaves.

@AnguaDelphine Thank you. I had forgotten how much I like playing with the 360 camera.

Every time I've opened my 'in progress' file for the last three days this has been facing me. It has undergone many tweaks, and is still not quite right, but I have run out of tweaks. In a different frame of mind I would delete, but today it feels mean, so I am declaring it to be finished. Whatever it is, it is very pleased to meet you.

@lappenjammer This one should definitely move by bouncing. That would be ace.
