Walked past this pink wall and had to take a picture 💗 The color is just too good!

One thing I love about living in LA is that you don't have to drive too far to find a little wilderness🌵 Beautiful trails, rocky hills, and those wide open views make it easy to forget how busy the city can get. A little hiking and fresh air is sometimes all I need to recharge☀️

@bunsenbernerbmd Time wore it down a bit for you

[Bunsen, Beaker, Bernoulli & Brix @bunsenbernerbmd]

Mountains may be built by tectonic forces, but water, wind, ice and gravity are constantly wearing them down. Does this make them a little easier to climb each and every year? Maybe, but don’t count on it making your hike that much easier for millions of years.

I always say I'm too full for dessert, and somehow I still end up ordering it The food was really good, but that strawberry dessert deserves its own appreciation. I'm definitely not the person to skip dessert just because I'm full🍓

Rama’s consumption of meat has textual support in the Valmiki Ramayana. Ayodhya Kanda 2.52.102 describes Rama and Lakshmana hunting animals including a boar and deer and taking meat for food when hungry. In 2.96.1-2, Rama offers Sita meat beside the Mandakini describing it as savoury and roasted over fire. Vegetarianism remains a respected Vaishnav-Hindu discipline, but reminder that Rama ate meat and so did the praja and the Rajas of the Vaishnavite Vijayanagara Empire.

Ancestral Puebloan rock imagery in the Grand Canyon and Four Corners includes pictographs (paintings) and petroglyphs (pecked or incised images) found in caves, alcoves, and rock shelters. These date mainly from the Basketmaker and Pueblo periods, roughly 500 BC to AD 1300.

Earlier Archaic peoples left split-twig figurines (about 4,000 to 2,000 years ago) in remote Grand Canyon caves. Made from single willow twigs folded into deer or bighorn sheep shapes and sometimes pierced, they were cached under rock cairns and are interpreted as hunting ritual objects.

Ancestral Puebloan motifs commonly show bighorn sheep, human figures, geometric designs, handprints, snakes, and lizards. Regional styles include Kayenta, Virgin, and Cohonina. Many appear near cliff dwellings, trails, and water sources. Pictographs survive best in protected overhangs using red, black, and other mineral pigments.

These images served sacred, ceremonial, and communicative roles for the people who made them rather than modern notions of art. Descendant communities including the Hopi (Hoh-pee) and Zuni (ZOO-nee) continue to regard them as living cultural heritage. View from a distance and leave sites undisturbed.

This is the way the government works

Scientist: “WOW! The coyote population in Maine is down 12%!!. We need to ban coyote hunting”

2 years later

Scientist: “ I wonder why the deer population is down 15%?. We need to give out way less doe permits”

Nearly 200” of Kentucky bone on just 26 acres behind his house! 🦌

100-degree heat, thunderstorms, and even an all-night sit! Skyler Hurt put in 48 hours of hunting before finally getting his chance at this 199 3/8” MONSTER at just 16 yards!

From patterning this buck all summer to finally getting it done, this is one heck of a story!

THE LEFT IS MAD AT A COUNTRY STAR FOR HUNTING WHITETAIL, AND THEY CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA WHO LISTENS TO COUNTRY MUSIC.

She bragged about dropping a big buck with her .308, and somehow that's supposed to be a scandal.

A beautiful country singer who loves to hunt and isn't afraid to say so is honestly perfect.

Across most of this country, that's just a regular Saturday in November.

Girls hunt too, and plenty of families spend every season in a deer stand together teaching their kids to respect the outdoors.

If liberals want to cancel her for hunting, they picked the wrong genre and the wrong fans.

It wouldn't be Whitetail Week without eventually getting to the eating part.

Danielle Prewett breaks down a venison hindquarter, the cuts hiding inside, and how to put each one to good use.

Know your cuts. Eat better deer.

I have prayed the Stations of the Cross at countless churches, shrines, and monasteries. But I think I may have found the most beautiful of them all.

Tucked into the magnificent forest surrounding Holy Hill, Wisconsin’s Basilica and National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians, is an extraordinary outdoor Way of the Cross.

And to walk it in October is almost indescribable. The air was crisp and cool. The towering trees were dressed in brilliant gold, orange, and crimson. Fallen leaves blanketed the winding path. And nestled among the trees, one after another, were breathtaking scenes of Our Lord’s Passion.

These are no ordinary Stations. The nearly life-sized figures were sculpted from Bedford limestone by Milwaukee artist Joseph Aszklar and completed in 1928. Each scene is sheltered within a rustic grotto of fieldstone, as though it has been part of the forest for centuries.

The craftsmanship is extraordinary. The expressions, the gestures, the sorrow on the faces. Our Lord beneath the weight of His Cross. His Blessed Mother witnessing His suffering. The terrible beauty of Calvary.

There was something especially moving about contemplating the suffering and death of Christ amid such overwhelming natural beauty. The rustling leaves, the cool autumn breeze, the quiet of the woods.

I've encountered many beautiful Stations of the Cross in my travels, but these may be the most magnificent I've ever seen.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit Holy Hill, please don't miss this sacred path. And if you can go in autumn, all the better.

What an extraordinary place to walk with Christ to Calvary. ❤️

Steve Irwin was one of the most passionate animal lovers on the planet. He also wasn’t a vegetarian, and he had a clear reason why.
In a 2001 interview with Scientific American he explained that he went through a phase where he seriously considered going vegetarian. He researched it hard. His conclusion was the opposite of what most people assume.

He used a simple land-use example: one cow could keep him fed for roughly a month. That same piece of land could still have trees, grass, kangaroos, wallabies, goannas, birds, and the rest of the Australian wildlife living in and around it. The cow and the wild animals could coexist.

A plant-only diet for the same period, he argued, required clearing more land just for crops. Once you level that ground for rice or whatever else, almost nothing else can live there except a few pest insects. Habitat gone. Wildlife gone.

He wasn’t anti-meat. He was anti-destroying habitat. And he drew a hard line on which animals should be eaten. He hated the idea of farming or eating Australia’s icons — kangaroos, emus, crocodiles. Those animals were part of the country’s identity and tourism. He wanted people eating the livestock that already occupied grazing land (beef, lamb, etc.), not turning the bush into more monoculture or harvesting the wildlife itself.

On the day he died he had a classic Aussie breakfast: bacon and eggs. He lived a high-output outdoor life and fueled it with real food, not ideology.

Irwin’s position was straightforward: protect the wild animals, keep the land working, and don’t pretend that clearing more ground for plants is automatically better for nature. A lot of modern “eat less meat for the environment” arguments still haven’t grappled with the trade-off he laid out more than 20 years ago.

🥺HAMMY NEEDS A CHANCE — PLEASE DON’T LET HER BE OVERLOOKED🙏
💔My heart breaks for sweet Hammy who was owner surrendered and now just trembles in fear💔😥
She lost the only family that she ever knew😭
Hammy — #A1722898 SAN JACINTO, CA SHELTER
4-year-old Labrador Retriever
Female • Spayed
66 lbs
Owner surrender — 9/28
Kennel: A17228-98
Poor Hammy is terrified in the shelter. And honestly, who can blame her? She lost the family she knew and is now surrounded by unfamiliar people, strange smells and the constant noise of barking dogs. 💔
She is currently kenneled by herself, and when you see her in her kennel, you may think she is just a very scared dog.
📝Shelter Notes: I was able to spend some time with Hammy on Saturday, and I took the time to let her get comfortable and gain her trust. Once she was out of that kennel and realized she was safe, she completely changed.❤️
She became a sweet, loving girl who wanted nothing more than to stay close to my side and get some love and attention.❤️ She opened up, followed me around and showed me the gentle girl hiding underneath all that fear.
You could tell she was missing her family. 🥺
Hammy has also participated in playgroup and did okay. She seems non-reactive to other dogs, and she is currently enjoying being kenneled separately. She loves being outdoors, likes the water, and there is clearly so much more to this beautiful girl than what you see when she is frightened inside her kennel.
Hammy deserves a family who will give her the time to decompress, let her learn to trust again and show her that she is safe and loved.
I truly believe this girl has SO much love to give. She just needs the right person to see her. 🙏❤️
🙏Please SHARE Hammy.
🙏Tag a rescue, foster or adopter.
🙏If you can help her, please reach out.

This is a way of grilling fish and various vegetables directly over charcoal outdoors. The flavor is truly unique, and you probably won't find it for sale anywhere because it's something you can only fully appreciate when you make it yourself. Isn't that fascinating? 🔥🐟🥕🌽✨

Somehow there’s a turkey up here chasing us around. How did it even get here???

Nature's wild beauty

[Robert Irwin @RobertIrwin]

This post is a little different, but it’s an important one. I hope this sparks some inspiration. My life is dedicated to inspiring my generation to conserve our planet through positivity and passion, and I will never stop. But it is also up to all of us to do the same. We need our next generation and future leaders to know that empathy, selflessness and kindness is true power. And that we must treat every living being how we would wish to be treated. There is hope for the future. And to any young people watching this, I believe we can turn the tide! Check out the link to find out more about our Visionary Wildlife Warriors.

Quantock Staghounds caught hunting with 5 hounds today, more than twice the number allowed to claim an exemption. It's autumn stag hunting but this youngster was all they could find to hunt. Less than 14 autumn (mature) stags were recorded in this year's Quantock deer count
