Ruddy Duck Bubble Display: This male ruddy in his fancy suit (breeding plumage) is showing off his courting skills- he inflates his neck and then beats his chest with his bill so that air is released from his feathers and forms bubbles in the water. In case the female ruddy is not sufficiently dazzled, he then releases some of that neck air in a belching display. I do wonder if many my human friends wish that such loud belching brought droves of women eager to mate. #duck #ruddyduck #pond #spring #matingseason #breedingplumage #bubbles #natgeo #natgeonature #ethicalwildlifephotography #birds #birding #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #Montana #Bigfork #waterbirds

Homemade bottle conditioned cider is something I wanted to do for a long time. And now we finally did. This is the journey from apple to cider. Without really knowing what we do. But in the end, it turned out quite well: https://www.saufwein.com/2026/05/from-apple-to-cider/ #cider #homemade #cidermaking #bubbles #apples

Bottle, or: Soda water

A Dinggedicht

Beneath the sealed cap, clear pressure waits,
crowded with bubbles too small to count.
Cold beads slide past fingertips
while the bottle sweats.

Then the quick twist — sudden release,
sharp hiss rushing out around the mouth.
Within, the water thrashes
as the first pour lurches,
air climbing back through the broken stream
in hollow gulps that jolt the wrist.

Soon the falling arc grows quieter.
Silver strings continue rising.

W3 poetry prompt

For this week’s W3, Srijita (Hope) encourages to compose a dinggedicht poem, which enters so deeply into a thing that the thing seems to speak for itself through image, texture, movement, and sensation alone. For more details, click here.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
