Photo of a lazy susan on a countertop. On it are 6 fabric bags with fuzzy outsides and various prints on the inside. Four are black, one is purple and one is red. The prints inside are themed around potion bottles, unicorns, mushrooms & forest things, a badger wizard & friends, and glow-in-the-dark tarot/magician cards.
Three sparkly vinyl stickers set against a bamboo surface. On the left is a sitting wyvern with a rainbow body and purple hair, wings and horns a-sparkle. Upper right is a chest mimic with a sparkly purple mouth and sparkle red eyes. Below is a cute-sad phantom holding a salmon pink cup of tea, body sparkling.
A view of a pebbled river shore and a bit of the water and fallen logs in the background. Where the shore meets water is a little river otter with a fish (trout maybe?) in its mouth. It looks at the camera, then away, chomping at the fish and rotating it to swallow head-first.
A (possible) Wandering Salamander clinging to the vertical slice of a felled redwood tree. There are holes in the grains and the salamander is still climbing out of one hole and its head is faced towards another hole. Both holes are too small for the salamander to actually hide in, but it was a good try.
Short video of Toketee Falls in the Umpqua National Forest, Oregon. It's a downward-facing angle of a waterfall pouring out of a large U shape cut in a rock wall. The rock face is mostly grey and has lots of vertical streaking like someone took a rake over its surface. You can see an evergreen forest around it and loads of brilliant green moss at the water's edge. The river water is a clean rich blue and there is a little strip of pebbled beach on the left side. The audio is of rushing water and a couple soft footfalls when I stepped forward to rotate the view.
Photo of a traditional Japanese garden in Portland. A background of mossy rocks and evergreen tress with a small waterfall flowing into a wide pond. In the pond are some ornamental koi doing their thing. To the right are some Japanese maple trees hovering over a rolling bed of moss and a stone temple.
A photo of wild Scottish plants, with blooming heather and grasses in the foreground, a thick bed of moss in the middle, and a background of more heather and some Scottish pine in the far distance. Taken near Glenmore/ Cairngorm mountain.
A Pacific or wild bleeding heart plant (Dicentra formosa) with two clusters of pink and purple flowers. Behind it is a moss covered log and a pond, with a cedar forest in the far background.
A worm's, er, person's upward view of a massive chonk of a redwood tree on a foggy winter morning. Centered is a huge vertical growth partway up the tree that looks a bit phallic from some angles. For scale, the trunk diameter is about the length of a SUV.
Candlesnuff fungus, which looks like long black and white crab claws, growing out of a mossy stump, lit by a Winter's afternoon sun. The South Fork Snoqualmie River is in the background.
Edge of a walking bridge in Oregon with guard rails painted rainbow colors and encouraging graffiti written on it, including 'sisterhood of the traveling naked fairies'. In the background is a gorgeous flowing river and evergreen trees with sun shining on the tops. For context, the bridge leads to a clothing-optional natural hot spring.
A mid-century modern style graphic showing a ghost facing left and a floating jack-o-lantern behind and to the left of the ghost. They're floating over shapes looking like concrete ground with building blocks behind.
A full body digital drawing of a Latinx character in sweatpants and a sweatshirt talking to an off-screen person. To the left is a headshot making a sus face and below is a portrait of them listening to music with their hoodie up.
A clip of an AI generated figure with a long, very nonsensical label name with red swirly shape before it.
Clearly AI generated white rat with veiny tube leading from the sky to the rat's belly with attachments to grainy bulbs, then a series of misnumbered subdiagrams on the right showing a veiny bulb in flesh, then a needle poling a grainy bulb, then a dist of grainy bulbs with a spoon. Most the labels are incoherent.
