[OC] Orb Spider (Araneus diadematus)

Jump

  • And proper webs too! Nice and prominent with the owner sat in the middle :)

    The day after I took this photo we came back for another walk, just as a bee unfortunately flew into the web. I was going to try and rescue the bee, but it would have been covered in web and basically doomed anyway....so we let the spider deal with it

    Here's all the action https://lemmy.ml/post/4729765

  • Also I forgot this which may/may not be of use

    !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

    It lists all the trending communities by activity and subscriber numbers, I've found a few interesting places that way :)

  • If you like art there's...

    !abstractphotography@lemmy.ml

    !collage@lemmy.ml

    !printmaking@lemmy.ml

    also

    !traditional_art@lemmy.world

    !artporn@lemm.ee

    I've curated some other art communities in the side bar at !artistlounge@lemmy.ml including watercolour, art share and one of the photography communities

    There are also lots of science and nature communities on mander and beehaw, if you search by 'all' in the communities tab at the top, type and just go down a few rabbit holes...nudibranchs, orchids, botany, minerals, geology, animals and pets etc all exist, you just need to start searching

    Happy trails :)

    edit forgot !awwnverts@lemmy.world and !natures_patterns@lemmy.world

    • David Attenborough to present third and final series of Planet Earth

    Jump

  • Did anyone else see the words 'David Attenborough....' and feel their heart sink a bit, thinking he'd died?

    Then I cheered up, life in the old dog yet, bless him

    • What are you some posters on the lemmyverse that you've enjoyed seeing around so far?

    Jump

  • Thanks for this!

    I subbed yesterday and just had a browse, I'm glad that my posting on my somewhat niche communities does actually do something for visibility

    edit just found this strange place via Trending Communities oddlyspecificplaylists@sh.itjust.works

    • How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?

    Jump

  • Non tech background (art education), but I do like a minor bit of tech tinkering and tweaking

    Aiming to remain semi retired for as long as possible doing a couple of hours work a day...

    The rest of the time? I have several art projects to occupy me, and now I've migrated over from reddit to here I have more time available for that.

    I have also created a few art subs here that I'm hoping to set up properly soon, and see where they go

    • What's the worst thing you've ever smelled?

    Jump

  • While I fortunately don't have Crohns, I do have periods of horrible IBS so I can relate to the demon-farts, one evening in the park, my bf had to run away from me after I dropped a stinker, this was outside

    Clearing a dance floor though? Respect
