A pretty post for a change

There's so much sh*t going on all over the place... let's look at pretty flowers. For our sanity.

Stunning golden horse

The Akhal-Teke is a horse breed from Turkmenistan, where they are a national emblem. They have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen. The shiny coat led to their nickname "Golden Horses". These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest existing horse breeds.

Beautiful

Feathers!

These are beautiful and I imagine the birds are spectacular:

An intimate look at flowers

These beautiful, delicate flowers weren't captured by a regular camera... These are X-rays!

Because that is what it does...

Schmetterling, farfalla, papallona, borboleta, mariposa, papillon, tximeleta, petaloúda, sommerfugl, tauriņš, fluture, perhonen, féileacán, pillangó, vlinder, urukurubụba, paru paro, npauj npaim, papilio.

All these words say butterfly in different languages, but I think they really mean:

Flutterby...
