One of my abiding memories of June 1976 was the ladybirds. I recall the footpath into the schoolyard was so dense with them that we walked across the grass to leave the grounds. History repeating. #SpiritOf76
Estimated 250,000+ #Ladybirds on Grafham Water dam this evening (at least 150 per metre all the way along top of dam wall). Probably more. @birdguides.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #ukbirding

And the doors of love seem closed, no matter how hard I try to kick 'em down...Knife Edge, off The Alarm's 1985 album Strength. So many amazing songs on one LP. Check out the epic Spirit of '76.

I wondered what family pictures I had from the Bicentennial, so I dug out a box of dad's slides labeled "Sep 1975 - Sep 1976". This was the easily the best shot. I cannot stop laughing at it. Me (5) and my sister (4). #Spiritof76

Aw man, they were a brilliant band. Lots to say and great tunes to back up the message. Loved them back in the day. Still got the vinyl. Sad day indeed

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Let's all meditate on the #SpiritOf76 as we celebrate our nation's birth and the sentiments that brought it about. Never in our history has our situation been so closely aligned with that of our forefathers on the eve of the #AmericanRevolution. May we honor their legacy! ✊

#taosmountainballoonrally What a thing it is to have balloons rise and pass over your house every year. Two more morning “mass ascensions!” I took this one flying directly overhead as a wee sign of hope. #spiritof76 #halloween #hotairballoons

Very sad news about The Alarm's Mike Peters finally losing his long, courageous battle with cancer.
