This dainty dappled visitor came and peeped in the window of our holiday home in Lincolnshire, UK, this morning.

A strange plant

I love how the local woods contain all these plants that show up for a week or two and then seem to completely vanish.
Peacock on the lawn

Am visiting Norfolk (UK) this weekend, and the glorious weather has brought out the butterflies. We found this peacock on the lawn; given its somewhat tattered condition, it's probably a freshly emerged overwintering imago.

Red Winged Blackbird

We have learned to recognize his chirps when he's on our balcony. There are three of them, I think. One has a very bold red band, then there's this one which is not as large, and then another one whose colors are quite faint and mostly yellow. ( Read more... )

the aftermath of war 1
Apr. 16th, 2019 12:35 amayebydan posting in hp_fanworksTitle: the aftermath of war 1/ fanfic.net//ao3 // dw
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s)/Characters: Narcissa Black / Lucius Malfoy, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy
Word Count/ Art Medium: 2958
Warnings (if any): none, unless you count an angry young Bill.
Disclaimer: I own nothing and make no monitory profit. All I have are my OCs and my ideas and a lot of effort. JK's world is just a sandpit I make castles in.
Summary: "Weasleys!"
"Children, Lucius. Imagine if something happened to us? Custody of Draco would automatically go to Andromeda and that Muggleborn husband of hers. Ed or Ted or something."
A strange sound erupts from his throat and his eyes bulge but Narcissa knows that she has his attention. He pours more red wine into his wine glass and not as much into his wife's showing his growing anxiety over the matter.
"Children are not responsible for their parent's actions. They need a home, my love, and I won't have anyone thinking we won't give them one. Merlin, I won't leave them on the street regardless! We always wanted more."
"One!", Lucius snaps, "Perhaps two more. But seven. Just because we have space does not mean that we can cope."

Cake Feeder Afternoon
Apr. 13th, 2019 11:00 pmrain_gryphon posting in common_natureThis afternoon at the cake feeder:
A male starling (you can tell by the corners of the beak - boys are blue, girls are pink - seriously) attacks the cake feeder. I think he's pretty young, firstly because he's still got a lot of brown in his plumage (mature males have a beautiful 'oil on water' sheen to them), but also because he's clearly not had a lot of experience perching on a feeder as he eats. He was flapping and making the feeder bang around the entire time, until he finally managed to get some cake.
