Today's scribble (I'm trying to keep up training): Ak'nun "Flamesmote* Xen.
He is one of the guys who saved the Chalice of Fire (one of the few artifacts Vulkan didn't order to destroy) from falling into the hands of the Dark Mechanicum and kept vigil until well into the 40th Millenium.

I like him, because he's a hotheaded swordsman. (I have a type)

He can be found in the Heresy-series-novel "Born of Flame" by the wonderful Nick Kyme.

This is one of the first good shots I took after getting into DSLRs. Pictured is a spring salamander, one of the larger lungless salamanders in the northeast. This was taken in southern Pennsylvania in 2019 if memory serves. Spring salamanders exhibit a variety of colorations from brown to red. I've only caught two in my lifetime, though I don't believe they're particularly uncommon.

"Wandering salamanders are known for gliding through the canopies of redwood forests, but how the small #amphibians stick their landing and take-off with ease? They can rapidly fill, trap, and drain the blood in their toe tips to optimize attachment, detachment and locomotion"
