I read something today that said if you are constantly frustrated with someone that won't change their behavior then you aren't changing either. I get this but it can be really aggravating to be the one always doing the work and trying to rise above. Especially when that person is around you a lot.

Tried cooking tonight...

I hate cooking over the stove because I am so terrified of getting burned!

Day 167 2020

This photo was requested by mom. 😀 Barnacles can be an annoying nuisance, health hazard to some creatures they adhere to, & even cost a ship in fuel! Barnacles also have a purpose in the right conditions. These particular guys are on a jetty off of Galveston and are called Acorn Barnacles. They like the intertidal zone and use their feather like cirri to comb through the water to filter their food which in turn helps with water clarity and quality. Just like oysters! These are closed while out of the water to conserve moisture. They also have one of the strongest naturally occurring cement like secretions to quickly adhere to rocks, ships, and even turtles!

Day 167 2024

Our marshes and wetlands are more than valuable to us, especially during hurricane season. But really that is just the beginning and we need to start working together and using our brains to protect them.

We had someone drive on a WALKING trail and got stuck. There's a chance the trail and surrounding area could be torn up trying to get it out all because they wanted to fish and couldn't just WALK. It is beyond frustrating living here and watching the people come to the island and trash it.

Taken 2022 22nd January, ever heard the story 'The Ugly Barnacle'? Well I hope you heard of 'Balanus balanus'. These barnacles reside in the Arctic Ocean and the northern seas near it. They start their lives as free-swimming larva among zooplankton before cementing themselves on a surface their cement glands can bind to. They then live out their lives breeding as hermaphrodites and filter-feed using their legs. #animal #animal #animals #djur #wildlife #natur #naturliv #nature #fauna #naturalhistory #naturhistoriska #preservedspecimen #arthropods #arthropod #kräftdjur #crustacean #crustaceans #barnacles #barnacle #acornbarnacle #acornbarnacles #havstulpaner #havstulpan #animalia #arthropoda #crustacea #thecostraca #balanomorpha #balanidae #balanus #balanusbalanus (at Evolutionsmuseet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZN5kALqV1y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Taken the same day as the previous post, this was a small common acorn barnacle (Semibalanus balanoides), or räfflad havstulpan, cluster I found on the beach. In Sweden, they occur on the west coast within the intertidal zones of rocky shores. They can survive in further zones, but competition and predation stop that from happening. They possess feathery cirri that are used for filter-feeding and oxygen extraction, but they felt too exposed to show them. #animal #animals #djur #wildlife #natur #naturliv #nature #invertebrate #invertebrates #arthropods #arthropod #kräftdjur #crustacean #crustaceans #acornbarnacle #acornbarnacles #havstulpaner #havstulpan #animalia #arthropoda #crustacea #thecostraca #balanomorpha #balanidae #semibalanus #semibalanusbalanoides #commonacornbarnacle #räffladhavstulpan (at Fiskebäckskil, Västra Götalands Län, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd1g6h1q406/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
