This series of unbelievable images by African photographer Dillon Marsh, titled Assimilation, captures the nests of sociable weaver birds built around telephone poles in the barren landscapes of the Kalahari Desert. They construct these enormous nests using twigs and grass – not only for their own kind but for many other bird species as well. After all, there is safety in numbers.

Moss graffiti, also known as eco-graffiti, is awesome.

Clare Elsaesser‘s paintings are inspired by daydreams and the formidable nature outside her window. Clare and her equally talented artist husband Kai Samuels-Davis live in the tiny hillside town of Jenner, California, where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean – I mean, who wouldn’t be inspired there? All of her work is quite beautiful but it’s her flower girls in particular that really make me smile. And you might want to check out SF Girl By Bay, where Victoria is having a giveaway of Clare’s work till the 30th.
