A pink rose, multiple light green buds and green leaves hanging over the top rail of a brown wooden fence. The flower and buds are brightly lit by sunlight.

Eden rose, I think

Fruity Petals™ is a vibrant climbing rose from William J. Radler—yes, the Knock Out® guy—that fans your garden with ruffled blooms of coral fading into apricot and finished with a sunny yellow eye. It explodes in a heavy spring bloom and keeps going with repeat flushes all season. Grace Rose Farm

Mornings in the #bog. It's like its own little utopia. It's hard to imagine a more cool place to be. The pitcher plant bogs of North Florida are otherworldly. From a recent foggy morning. #photography #landscape #ECK #bogs #pitcherplants #Sarracenia #fog #bogplants

All of your flowers are so beautiful.

Tall, dry grass stems sway in the foreground, sharply in focus against a vast field of bright yellow rapeseed stretching across the landscape. In the distance, Binevenagh Mountain rises along the horizon in Northern Ireland, beneath a deep blue sky dotted with soft white clouds.

Guys the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Time to take my dog his walk. See you all later. Thought you might like to see the field where I took my #BirdOfTheDay capture. So I start here and hike up the mountain in the background. Have a great day. #photography #Ireland #scape #ECK

A sculpture of the goddess Minerva with a number of books, an owl and a theatrical mask on a deep wooden drum. It is situated on the corner of two streets, perched atop the slightly projecting shop window and doorway. The street signs read High Petergate on the left and Minster Gates to the right. An inscription on the drum of the sculpture explains that it is Minerva, goddess of wisdom and drama, made by John Wolstenholme in 1801.

The sculpture of Minerva was part of a makeover for 1 Minster Gates and the adjoining 38 High Petergate, York. The 15th century timber frame building was rebuilt as a pair of houses in the late 18th century but the ground floor was made into a shop.

A large blue swirl of a galaxy in the center with a number of red star forming regions with circular arms interacting with a smaller galaxy to the middle left of the image.

This is a close-up of M51, the iconic Whirlpool Galaxy interacting with its companion galaxy NGC 5195. I tested a new Spectral Pro filter from Leviathan Optical on this target and was pleased with the result. More details in my gallery: app.astrobin.com/i/dzmjiz

Malachite lickers unite!

Well, I didn't want to lick it, I just wanted to have a piece but now I do kind of want to lick it too. Damn it. I bet it's pretty expensive.

You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2.

A few warnings:
Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is.
Absolutely /do not/ lick it.
Keep far away from any Supermen.
If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts.

Let's talk about the science here.

Great photos of Colorado. Beautiful, beautiful state.
