June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. We celebrate the culture & contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities in Canada. June 21 was chosen because of its alignment with the summer solstice, a significant day to Indigenous Peoples. Art by James Groening.

This funerary wreath is made of everlasting flowers (Helichrysum stoechas) and is more than 1,700 years old! It was found in a tomb of the #Roman period in Hawara/#Egypt and has survived due to Egypt's dry climate. Dating 2nd/3rd c. AD. On display at British Museum

😮 Sunrise reveals a menacing #CycloneGabrielle... It's difficult to see Aotearoa / New Zealand as it's shrouded by cloud. The band of cloud stretching down from the tropics signifies a robust moisture plume.
