My kinda super bloom 🤪 Photographed very close to home, these turkey tails seemed to love this decaying oak stump.

Happy birthday Earth, you don’t look a day over 4.54 billion! 🎉🎊🍰

A few years back, I wrote something of a guide to Snake River salmon geography. Amazing journey indeed, but it's depressing to see NOAA bragging about removing four culverts, which is very much not the heart of the challenge.

Ha! I actually have a complete recording of Les Indes. The French Baroque is such a foreign culture to ours, and these comic opera-ballets are so ridiculous, I can't get myself very worked up about the problematic aspects. Rameau's music is lovely and sometimes quite innovative.

Awesome! I've never seen a shot of one under a thin curtain like this.

I can't actually find this thing in the wild, though. Just a Xitter one-off or something?

Anyone know where this actually lives online? I'm not having any success finding it in the wild.

Wow, I didn't realize Lemhi Pass and the Idaho state low point were the same! On a more serious note: OMFG.

Marvelous! Riverstone especially, also the new snow and glass. And the brownie one is absolutely spot on.

That book of yours changed my life in a more literal, concrete way than any other. Because I was reading it on a visit to SLC years ago, we concluded that we really had to leave the southwest, so we're in WA now rather than NM or the Wasatch.

Oh sure, why not... Cats are basically house goblins (and I say that with immense affection).

Three minutes that make me insanely jealous!

Thanks!

Zoomed in photograph of a waterfall splitting into three smooth and seperate branches falling over a vertical cliff with green moss.

Photograph of a flowering spring fruite tree warmly lit by evening sun on a golden grassy ridge looking down into a green and wooded river valley, with a little silvery stretch of the river visible.

Photograph looking towards a large snowy mountain range at sunrise. Close to the camera, a diagonal wisp of pale mist floats above dark slopes. A deep valley drops away beyond, past which the big mountains rise up, with their upper snowy slopes lit orange by the rising sun, with darker clouds above beginning to glow.

Photograph of a stony desert canyon and mountain range. Rounded tan granite boulders in the foregroudn overlook a large wash bounded with big domelike cliffs of similar granite, all in shadow. A little further, a bold band of golden sunlight illuminates a slice of rugged mountain slopes. Past that, there is a very tall shadowed skyline of striped gray limestone under a mostly cloudy sky.

New artist for me... that was lovely! Thanks.

Good piece, and I respect your thought process. For me, the equation is complicated by the data center picture now. I can see sacrificing 100 bighorns to save the climate, but not to power AI.

Love this one! There's something about roots and stone and water that I always find powerful.

What a gloriously froward bird!

Both are lovely, but I really like the two flowers. The pair makes it feel more relational and intimate.

Waterfalls!

Give you joy of your monitors! That's wonderful!

Oh wow, that's amazing!

I'm sorry, that sucks 😞

I just visited Kootenay Lake for the first time last weekend, and I'm kinda in love with it. Beautiful image!

Can Bluesky please stop enlarging images that we deliberately post at lower res?

Okay, this is somewhat helpful:

No, sorry, AI's got it wrong as usual, though I do see how it was fooled. I've seen a lot of pumice, this is rather stouter stuff and definitely didn't float. My question is about specific possible sources for an extrusive igneous rock that wound up eroded to cobble beside Kootenay Lake.
