4 volumes, 435 hand-coloured, life-size bird prints—so big they were made on rare “Double Elephant” paper.

𝘐𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘪ß does not mean you are hot. 🇩🇪

It means you are aroused.

To say you feel hot:

𝗠𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗶ß.

Heat is to me. The heat is happening to you, not describing you.

Same trap with cold.

𝘐𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘵 = I am a cold person, emotionally.
𝘔𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘵 = I feel cold. The cold is happening to me.

Physical sensations use 𝘮𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘴𝘵. Always. 📌

[Dr. M.F. Khan @Dr_TheHistories]

About 5000 years ago, a family sat beside a stone hearth in Orkney and arranged their belongings on a stone dresser. The dresser is still there. The hearth is still there. The stones they shaped with their hands are still fitted together, dry-laid without mortar, without cracking, after fifty centuries of Orkney winters. Skara Brae is the oldest surviving domestic settlement in northern Europe, and almost nothing about it has decayed. It is not ruins. It is a home.

The village was buried in a sandstorm around 2500 BCE and stayed buried until a violent storm in 1850 stripped the dunes back and revealed it to an astonished farmer. What the excavations uncovered over the following decades was almost impossible to credit: eight interconnected stone houses, linked by covered passages, each with its own hearth, storage alcoves, box beds defined by stone slabs, and a shelved dresser facing the entrance. Whoever lived here arranged their space with taste and care. They had privacy. They had community. They had, in the stone dresser placed where a modern family might put a television, something they wanted to see the moment they walked in the door.

No one knows exactly who built Skara Brae, what language they spoke, or where they went. We know they built their homes together, shared resources through the connecting passages, and lived here continuously for about 600 years. Older than the Egyptian pyramids. Older than Stonehenge. Built by people whose names we will never know on an island at the edge of the world. The oldest thing about Scotland is not a castle or a clan. It is a hearth, and it is waiting in Orkney.

A simple strip of wildflowers can dramatically reduce the need for chemical pesticides. So why aren’t they standard on every farm?

Farmers are increasingly planting colorful wildflower strips within and around their fields because these habitats attract beneficial insects that naturally control crop pests.

Ladybugs are the most familiar example. Both adult ladybugs and their larvae are voracious predators of aphids, small sap-sucking insects that damage crops. A single ladybug can eat dozens of aphids a day, while its larvae can consume hundreds before reaching adulthood.

Yet ladybugs are just the beginning. Wildflower strips also draw in hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, and predatory beetles, all highly effective natural enemies of common pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and caterpillars.

This approach is known as conservation biological control. Rather than releasing predators into fields, farmers create permanent habitats that support and boost populations of beneficial insects already present in the landscape.

The flowers supply essential nectar and pollen that many of these insects need as adults. Research shows that access to such resources significantly increases their lifespan, reproductive success, and pest-hunting efficiency.

Some parasitic wasps offer an especially impressive form of control: they lay eggs inside aphids or caterpillars, and their developing larvae consume the pest from the inside out.

Multiple studies confirm that fields with wildflower strips support far higher numbers of beneficial insects and achieve stronger natural pest suppression compared to conventional fields.

Beyond pest control, these strips provide additional benefits: they support pollinators, enhance biodiversity, reduce soil erosion, and create valuable wildlife habitat within agricultural areas.

Scientists are now fine-tuning which flower species work best for different crops and climates, aiming to design the most effective and practical wildflower strips possible.

Because I’m never half naked (you don’t want to see that 😂) the algorithms don’t like me so I’m relying on you guys sharing my work to the world to showcase my talents of photographing as many detailed subjects in flight as I can. Thank you all for looking in on my work 🙏🏿.

My flowerbed has completely turned into a sparrow bath.

There are about 10 holes for sunbathing in the place where I was planning to plant flowers.

Today, about 8 sparrows were sunbathing there.

They seem to be in an open-air bath, and they're so cute

I could watch them forever.
......I'm a bit hesitant to plant flowers here again

I won't plant any more flowers here.
I'll leave it as a sparrow bath.
