Five of my favourite photos I took in May 2023 and end of month thoughts
The photos are of; Oystercatcher on Brownsea Island, Marsh Fritillary at Magdalen Hill Down, view at Bentley Wood, red campion at Lakeside Country Park and Broad-bodied Chaser at Bentley Wood.
May was another fantastic month of wildlife watching and photos for me. My strong spring run of seeing bird species for the first time this year continued with species such as Tree Pipit and Hobby seen, taking my year list into the 200s on my earliest ever date in a year, making my year list my second highest ever already and the highest any of my year lists have ever been on this date by far which is exceptional and feels so good. Garden Warbler, Garganey, Curlew Sandpiper, Little Tern, Cuckoo, Long-billed Dowitcher, Whitethroat and Sandwich Tern have been other key birds seen this month. It has also been a great month of watching young birds and breeding birds including Peregrines, Great Crested Grebes and many goslings and ducklings. May was also a fantastic month of butterflies with a rich array of fantastic species observed and I feel so lucky to have seen so many. I went on a great run in sunny weather of getting butterfly photos too which I was pleased with. Marsh Fritillary, Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Adonis Blue, Brown Argus, Duke of Burgundy, Grizzled Skipper, Dingy Skipper, Small Copper, Painted Lady and Green Hairstreak were standouts of the many species enjoyed.
It was a memorable month of flowers as we sailed into days of having so many species around which is exciting from burnt-tip orchid to early purple orchid. I enjoyed seeing damselflies very well this month especially over some memorable consecutive days and getting into dragonflies for the year too, with good moments with beetles and other insects as well as mammals and moths of course with my year list starting up nicely for them. I took so many photos again this month, many of which I was pleased with and I enjoyed taking in some stunning, varied and immersive landscapes in many bits of strong sunny weather this month with sunsets and the moon enjoyed too. I hope you all have a nice June.

new Good Omens fanfic...
Quite Contrary
Rating: Explicit
Chapter 1/?
Summary: The plan is ready, everything is in place, and Aziraphale is about to prove that he’s quite capable of running the Second Coming all on his own, thank you very much.
There’s just one problem—and it goes by the name of Mary Magdalene.
(It also, on occasion, goes by the name “Anthony J. Crowley.”)
Read on AO3
****
This is the "Crowley was Mary Magdalene" fic I've been dying to write. I started it as a crackfic to blow off steam after my last WIP nearly killed me, but it's gaining more plot than I thought it would (surprise surprise). I have the majority of it drafted already though, so I expect to be able to post regularly (as long as the last few chapters don't fight me).
Read the tags and enjoy!
(smut will start in chapter 3 by the way)

the fact that they labelled the song as “Running Down” just because it’s part of the chorus even though the song is actually called “home with you” ;-;

Top Ten Tuesday – Childhood Favourites (Freebie)
Hi friends, I’ve decided to start up with Top Ten Tuesday, I used to do this every week on my old blog and I thought it would be nice to get back into it. This week’s topic is a freebie and I couldn’t think of my own topic, so I looked back at the list of past topics and decided to do Childhood Favourites.

My Paintings
My acrylic painting of Claude Monet’s “Water Lily Pond, Harmony in Green,” with a red rose from our 25th Renewal of Marriage Vows on the left, and the bow John made from a pine tree in our back yard in our old forest 25 years ago.
When we retired here, I decided that I would try my hand at painting. The last time I painted was in Mrs. Weed’s Junior High School Art Class. I remember painting Van…

More twinning! Rose Basket with lovely rabbitreverie 💐
She came to visit back in June and we threw together this coord in a hurry. We met for tea and walked around the city afterwards--I also couldn't help but share this cute picture of our reflection in a shop window☺️
It's not so common to find Mary Magdalene lovers these days, and it was so nice to chat with her. Thanks for hanging out!💖

Yk what?? I don’t forgive Judas, f that dude
Also hate the Mary Magdalene erasing from everywhere. She was the most important apostle, also, she was no prostitute and even if she were she was still one of the hand chosen by Jesus to follow him. Sure she never wrote(as far as we know) her word but she was one of the three who saw Jesus when he resurrected and there are some investigators who think Mary and Jesus were married.
Im Mary magdalenes no. 1 Stan and I’ll die in this hill
