I learned today is Marine Day (Ocean Day, Sea Day) so obviously I have to pull out the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna for this special Ocean Day 🐟 They're GIANT TUNAS! #MarineLife #kidlitart

This beautiful parrot mushroom, Gliophorus psittacinus, was in a great spot to soak up some bright, diffused sunlight, making the colors on it and everything surrounding it the perfect amount of highlighted and vibrant 🟢💛💚🍄📷📸🎞

@wobbologist.bsky.social - Are there any podcasts or youtube videos or online lectures about wobbegongs? I looked at a few marine podcasts I follow but didn't see any specifically on them. I thought you'd be the best person to ask!

Today's #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is of an Adélie penguin parent fresh out of the ocean being mobbed by its STARVING* chicks *while the chicks might think so, clearly they are not starving, they actually look quite well-fed, or at least very fluffy, and undoubtedly very obnoxious 🧪🌍🦑🦉

Haven’t done a #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD in… well I don’t remember but here’s one for you, a chick yelling at an adult that turns out to either not be its parent, or it’s the parent and it just kept sliding right past. Like a boss. Hilarious. 🌎🧪🦑🦉

If you see, quote reply with something summery out of your portfolio 🌞 100 degree F weather today so it was definitely an extra hot summer day! Mock book cover with the summer vibes #kidlitart #kidlit #cuteart
