This stunning installation of 888,246 red ceramic poppies was created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins and stage designer Tom Piper in commemoration of the centennial of Britain’s involvement in World War I. Entitled Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, each flower represents a British or Colonial military fatality.
This staggering installation is a work in progress, with the ceramic pippies being planted by volunteers in the dry moat that surrounds the Tower of London. The planting process began a few weeks ago and will continue throughout the summer until a final flower is symbolically planted on November 11, 2014.
Visit the Historic Royal Palaces website to learn more about this moving project. You can also follow the progress of the volunteer planters by following the #TowerPoppies on Twitter.

sterrinswildworldThe puff adder (B. arietans) has a very cool locomotion. They can move like other snakes, from side to side, but primarily use this caterpiller form. They might look sluggish but they can actually be really fast if they want to. They can also swim and climb.

there’s an old man on my bus wearing a sparkly devil horn headband i don’t understand
now he’s wearing a hot dog hat this is not a drill
i’m putting on my dinosaur hat we can be hat friends
he got off at the same stop as me and waited for me to get off the bus so he could laugh and shake my hand and then he just walked away without a word this is the weirdest day of my life
