Nature

I first started dipping into naturalism at one of my lows, back when we were launching a birdspotting app and I wanted to help test it. I got into it immediately and combined with my daily mental health walks it really made me dive back into nature, and appreciate how healing it was to see life's good parts.

As I was already enjoying learning all kinds of stuff about fungi, I started collecting/identifying those I found in the wild as well. Because I'm not an expert I just like to catalog what I find but I don't always know their names and don't want help okay! It's for the fun of learning and exploring.

Eventually I started adding my origamis, plushies, and anything remotely animal to this page and it became one giant ode to nature's million follies.

Beautiful bird and colors, for a second you’d forget how powerful their drill must be but it’s captivating to watch them work

I love and have always been fascinated by ants by my god did garden ants terrorize me as a kid!! Living in a old house with gardens, it was sometimes a real war between the inside and outside as to who would get the food I’d bring to my bedroom and I lost for many years, and it’s a really horrible feeling to feel your room invaded, to worry about every itch while sleeping, to feel them crawling under the bed or in the dark corners 😭 I’m glad this hasn’t happened in years and I can admire these from afar

Super fun how it gradually splits from itself like it’s building new floors in a building

Just have to love the absolute bluntness of bird names at times. Yeah its the bird over there with the black cap and the rest was history I guess 😄 Still a lovely cutie to encounter and with beautiful songs

Thousands of them haunt Berlin but they’re my favorite and my friends 🖤 I have a huge murder in our neighbourhood that I’ve been feeding here and there, it’s been amazing to slowly gain their trust and be able to admire them from up close.

Such kind and affectionate animals, the pain of what we do to them hurts every time you look them in their big mirror eyes. I had the occasion to hug some at a refuge and it was a lovely experience <3

What to even say? They domesticated themselves and we’re lucky they were too lazy to go any further in their conquest. They’ve been here to help me get through my life at every step and I’ve tried to repay back their love tenfold ❤️

They have very varied personalities, mostly weird and sometimes assholes but I really dig them which is why i’m a catgirl :p

A whole colony of them absolutely TERRORIZED us for the few years we lived at our last house in France, because they had settled in the entire facade-wide crevice between our porch and the house, AKA right above the door waiting whenever you went in or out. They wouldn’t just stand there either, they’d actively come out of the fucking tunnels when we’d turn on the outside light, as if to signal that every time we passed through, it was because the biggest one of them all, Mother, had instructed its colony to allow us. For this time.

I thought this was a termite mound at first but it turned out to be wood ants doing their thing in the middle of the forest, and thank god because I prefer admiring these guys from afar 😅
