I had a great time at the Reality Fracture pre-release at Phoenix Nest last night!
People loved the spooky Fran stickers I handed out to folks I talked with, and I went 3-1 into 6th place.
I was convinced to play Blue/Green because these two cards make an infinite mana combo. I PULLED IT OFF ONCE
#AwesomeAltText A digital, cropped image showing two cards from the Reality Fracture set of Magic the Gathering. The art of the first card depicts a human wizard in ornate, furred, flowing blue robes with white and gold accents. She has a confident expression and has medium-brown skin. She is walking amongst a dessert that has frozen over. A burst of blue, icy magic is coming from her wrist. There are hands reaching through the frozen sand and magical pyramids and obelisks are seen in the background. The art of the second card depicts a small, anthropomorphic creature with a large, mouth-open smile. The creature has orange fur with dusty accents and a green vertical mark between their eyes. He is wearing a size-appropriate green scarf and has wide eyes. The environment is of a leafy, reeded forest with blue, magical geometric fractals scattered. FIRST CARD Hapatra, the Desert Frost {3}{U} Legendary Creature — Human Wizard When Hapatra enters, for each opponent, tap up to one target creature that player controls. Put a stun counter on each of those creatures. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.) {2}{U}: Untap target creature. “Kefnet always told me to apply my knowledge. I merely chose to apply it in usurping him.” 4/3 SECOND CARD Loot, the Nexus {2}{G} Legendary Creature — Beast Noble {T}: Choose a color. Add one mana of that color for each different power among creatures you control. “Within Loot’s mind were the blueprints I needed to complete this new Multiverse. He gave me hope. Tell him that, Vraska.” —Jace 2/1

Today’s main #BirdOfTheDay theme, #LongLegs, provides the perfect opportunity for me to post this pic of a Grey Heron lifting off from the pool in front of the Kingfisher Hide at Teifi Marshes @wtsww.bsky.social nature reserve in June. Post #1 in a new #birds thread. #UKWildlife #Photography #ECK 🌿
Photo of a Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) who has just taken off from a pool of water which is bordered by lots of the green leaves and stems of sedges and reeds. The bird, wings open in mid flap, is heading towards the top right corner of the picture, long neck outstretched, and long legs dangling below with trails of water droplets arcing away from the feet to the water just below. As the name of the species suggests, the plumage is mostly grey, darker in some places, paler in others. The top of the head is black, the eye is yellow with a black pupil and rim, the long, pointed, heavyset beak is dark above and an orangey-yellow colour below.

A cropped screenshot of an Etsy cart from seller AttacRacc. In the cart are two stickers. The first is of a small, cartoon, chubby green lizard wearing a pink bandana around their neck. Their eyes are yellow and bulging, with their small arms and legs outstretched. Behind them is a rainbow with a cloud on either end, and text in light purple bubble text "F💜CK AI". The second sticker is of a distressed cartoon virginia opossum with large yellow/blond hair, messy red lipstick, and patchy light fur. Behind them is a gradient of pink, purple, and blue. Surrounding the animal is simple text that says "Maybe she's born with it... Maybe it's ADHD"

Digital draw-over artwork of Fran, an anthropomorphic furry virginia opossum, as the main character of Persona 3 Portable, Kotone Shiomi, modded into Persona 3 Reload. Fran has short gray hair, a long beige tail, and a white face with a prominent snout. Red glare effects trail from their eyes. The outfit is a black miniskirt, small black jacket, a blouse with a red semi-tucked plume, white stockings, and a red armband that says SEES in black print text. They are holding a fake gun in their visible left hand, which is also gloved. There are evocative flame effects around Fran, showing an aura of power, purpose, and momentum. Above Fran is the cropped bottom of the persona Messiah, showing a grasping hand, chains, and a blue/silver/black coffin. The background is a diagonal split of black and a soft red with contrasting red flecks scattered. In the center is the logo for the game, Persona 3 Reload with the main title being in pixel-matrix style font and the subtitle being in block letters with the RE part of RELOAD being in an outline.

This Met Museum photo shows an Ancient Egyptian gold headband viewed from the front against a grey background. The headband is made of hammered sheet gold, the ends of which have been tapered to a narrower width and rolled to form loops. A string would have threaded through the loops to fasten the band around the head at the back. The front of the band is decorated with a central head of an antlered stag, identified as the Persian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica). The stag has two large antlers, large ears and a triangular-shaped head. It is flanked on each side of the headband by two gazelle heads. The gazelle heads have long ears and long curved horns which point outwards at the tip. Between the animal heads are four 8-pointed flowers or stars. Dimensions: height of central stag 8.9 cm, length of headband 49.5 cm. Dated to the Second Intermediate period (c. 1648-1540 BC) when northern Egypt was ruled by the Hyksos from the ancient Near East. Said to be part of a group of objects found in the Eastern Delta near Avaris, the Hyksos capital. The headband shows a mix of styles from ancient Egypt and the ancient Near East.

🌸 longspur violet 🌿
Viola rostrata

#nativeplants #ecoregion71
a long-spurred violet flower seen from the front. its five petals are widest at their midpoint then taper to a rounded but acute tip. they are light purple, with soft parallel streaks of slightly darker purple throughout. the top two petals sweep back, while two lateral petals are held out to the side, and the bottom petal juts forward. the two lateral petals and the bottom petal have a band of dark purple around the mouth of the flower. within the mouth, the bottom petal is white but streaked with parallel dark purple veins. in the center seeming to hang from the top like a uvula, there is a thin white style wrapped in flat orange stamens. the petals are all smooth; there is no beard on this violet. behind the flower, a long nectar spur sticks out & bends to the right ar its tip. in the background there are small, hreen, heart-shaped violet leaves (blurry). a long-spurred violet flower seen from the side. the flower is held aloft on a smooth green stem which nods over at the top; the green calyx has long, triangular lobes angles towards the ground. the two upper petals sweep back over the calyx and stem, while the lateral petals are held out to the side, and the bottom petal juts forward (though it is largely obscured by a leaf). the petals are purple, but more white along the bottom of the flower. a long white nectar spur sticks out from the bottom petal; it extends back twice as far at the slicked-back top petals. around the bottom there are many small violet leaves, smooth and green, heart-shaped with crenulated margins. a patch of longspur violets growing among moss and grass on a steep but short creekbank. there are many green leaves, heart-shaped with little rounded teeth all along the edges. the base of many of the leaves curl inwards. there are two blooming flowers, five petals each, light purple with a dark purple "eyespot" surrounding the white throat of the flower. the flowers have a long white and light purple spur extending behind the rest of the flower.

A digital interpretation of a painting titled "Dionisia" by Pierre Auguste Cot, featuring my OC - Eshmara. The character has a warm green complexion with striking big orange eyes, smiling softly at the camera while holding a plethora of flowers on her lap and sitting on a tree stump. She has double pointy ears that are garnished by yellow-orange grapes with leaves, and a branch-like horns, also with autumn leaves, growing out from her head which is decorated bountifully by wavy auburn hair reaching just under her shoulder blades. She has a few moles on her face - two above her lips on her right and one above her eye on her right. She is dressed in a white shirt hugged by a scarf-like pink cloth that goes beyond the view in the left corner. Her long skirt is orange with a brown apron that holds the flowers together on her lap. The background is dark, seemingly in a forest away from the sun, primarily greens and browns. There's a faint halo-like circle behind the character's head to give the character better focus. End ID. A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater". She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face. The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

I got you some native spring ephemeral wildflowers today

because you deserve it <3
Bloodroot, a short flower with broad soft-looking green leaves, almost shaped like lily pads. The flower is 8 snow-white pedals, arranged in a circle with gaps in-between each one, with a tuft of yellow in the middle. The flowers are emerging from the forest floor, beige leaf litter. In this photo there are three blooming flowers with a bunch of leaves around them. Virginia bluebells, a flower with big light green, almost spinach-shaped leaves. The flowers hang in clusters, like tiny little soft blue-purple trumpets. The ones that haven't bloomed yet dangle next to them and are slightly more pink-purple. There is a bloodroot blooming in the background, out of focus. Cut-leafed Toothwort, a delicate flower with jagged darker green leaves, so lobed that they look like fingers. Or cannabis leaves perhaps. They are jagged on the edges, hence the name. The flowers are in a cluster in the middle, little white clusters with green in the middle. It is coming up from a portion of the forest floor that is mostly mulch and sticks. Another bloodroot, blooming next to a lovely rotting log.

A Little Owl is bundled in a baby blue towel on a table with an expression of malcontent. His eyes are squinted and slightly crossed, and match his waxy yellow beak in colour. He appears chinless, recessing his head into his body; eyes at the same level as his shoulders and squashed as though someone had tried resizing him in a Word document and forgot to lock the aspect ratio.
