On this stone wall a colony of Asplenium scolopendrium (hart's-tongue fern) have established along with a Fuchsia magellanica (hardy fuchsia). This hardy fern is normally found growing in damp, shady places in woodlands.

Ediacaran Glasses Chain
I made a new glasses chain themed around the Ediacaran period.
I made the Ediacaran frond cameos by gluing pebbles and leaf-shaped beads to blank pendant trays and painting the background with nail polish.
I made the jellyfish by threading strings of teensy tiny purple beads onto the edges of some bead caps.
The faux pearls might seem out of place, but there was at least one species in the Ediacaran that is thought to be an early ancestor of mollusks if not a mollusk itself, and all modern mollusks technically can create pearls, even if it's uncommon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temnoxa_molluscula Here is the Ediacaran "mollusk" I referred to earlier.

In a shady, sheltered location at the Cruickshank Botanic Garden, Aberdeen, there was a large colony of Blechnum chilense (Chilean hard fern). This evergreen fern is from the damp woodlands of central Chile.

Remember to be a responsible pet owner and spay or neuter your Thoma.
Also sibling behaviour is setting fire to your sister while she's trapped in cutscenes.
Lyney is fun, can't wait to finish levelling him. He should give Childe his bow back now tho.

Photo by Mourad HARKAT
In the heart of the ancient city of Ouled Djellal in Algeria stands an old doorway, weathered by time yet retaining its timeless charm. Its wooden frame, intricately carved with patterns reminiscent of a bygone era, beckons visitors to step into a world of nostalgia and heritage.
Above the doorway, a quaint thatched roof made from palm fronds and sturdy trunks provides shelter from the scorching sun, casting dappled shadows on the worn cobblestone path below. As the gentle breeze rustles through the palm leaves, a sense of tranquility envelops the scene, transporting onlookers to a simpler time.
The combination of the weathered doorway and the rustic thatched roof creates a picturesque tableau, evoking the essence of traditional Algerian architecture and the timeless beauty of Ouled Djellal. It is a scene that resonates with the soul, a testament to the enduring spirit of a place steeped in history and tradition.
