This is the life of the mind, the body of the desert. Hills unfold in the distance like pleated cloth. On the near horizon, rock rises up—a muscle, a fist, an island, a ship, an animal.

Happiness is trilium coming up, one with a tiny bud visible, and my Arthur Menzies oregon grape sprouting more stems from near the base. The garden always calms me. I've now put a fence round Arthur so the rabbits can't get to their tender shoots. #naturewriting #gardens #hope 👩‍🌾🌼☮️

“When I ask myself, how a person should live, this is the advice I now turned to: Learn to branch out like a tree, to let go like a tree, to weather hardship like a tree, to rise above like a tree, to set down roots like a tree.”

Domesday William I wants to assess his new territory – how good is the land? What resources can it support? How much tax can he raise? Who lives there?

The latest post in my 'A brief history of Bedfordshire in plants and animals' uses the Domesday Book to uncover a picture of rural life.

Country diary: A bum note amid the dawn chorus | Mark Cocker Hogshaw, Derbyshire: Our old Buxton tip is an area rich in nature. It’s depressing out local council wants it developed

Declare there's a nature emergency, while also proposing to develop a biodiverse landscape. Just another depressing example of cognitive dissonance in today's @theguardian.com country diary by Mark Cocker.

Have you seen Jack in the Green? Celebrating March

Catching up on reading this Easter Sunday 🐇

Accidental poetry from @martinbr.bsky.social

'The earth does not need our permission to laugh.

It does not need our permission to flower.

It needs us to stop doing the things that silence it.'

The world felt just a bit more friendly There are a set of birds that constantly visit the Hudson River Palisades across from my apartment and then visit me.

*THROWBACK ALERT!* A tiny visitor made my day. Palisades birds snack on my mums, bounce back fast, and even watch me work—now we’re friends. #NatureWriting #BirdWatching #HudsonRiver [Originally posted: 2020/11/08]

Cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis)

Ragged robin (Silene flos-cuculi)

OS map shoring Boultham, Lincolnshire.

Break from the cranes to bring you place-name of the day 146. Because it’s Easter and spring. And it’s time we had some flower names. Boultham (Lincs). OE bulut + hamm. ‘Land hemmed in by marsh where ragged robin or cuckoo flower grows’. #PlaceNames #naturewriting

Common crane in grassy field

OS map showing old Crannaford next to very new Cranbrook, in Devon.

Bird place-name of the day 144, cont. crane series: CRANNAFORD (Dev). OE cran + ford. ‘Cranes’ ford’. Cranbrook, the more obvious of the two in the map, is a brand new town! The name was presumably borrowed from Crannaford. (Bonus rook place in there too!) #PlaceNames #birdsandplace #naturewriting

Went Desert Walkabout Met a bird.

David’s voice is soft yet precise. He writes about birds and nature in a way that’s spiritual to me. It lifts me as a human who birds but makes the writer in me jealous. This short meditation on a bird in the desert is worth your time, as are many of David’s essays. #NatureWriting #Birds #CNF
