I have to say one of the coolest things I've seen in 26 years here were these birds diving for fish in the ocean today. I was at my desk and saw this commotion and it was fascinating to see. If you know the backstory add it to the comments. Tap and turn horizontal for full screen.
This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

is that warbler a parula, perhaps?

Turtle has zoomies & thinks cat is mommy.
Magpie in flight with starry sky on its wings.
Another vague tattoo concept. I love magpies

Das Foto zeigt eine grüne Spargelstange, die gekrümmt gewachsen ist. Die Form erinnert an ein Herz. Der Spargelkopf hat sich bereits in kleinere Köpfe geteilt und wie Blumen an einem Kranz, an die Stange gelegt. Der Spargel liegt auf einer dunklen Holzfläche
Spargel? Herz? Spargelherz 🥰

This image shows a close-up view of moss with slender sporophytes rising from it. The moss base appears in warm brown and green tones, while the thin stalks are reddish-orange with bright yellow-green capsules at their tips. The background is softly blurred, creating a macro perspective that highlights the delicate structures of this tiny plant growth.
A tiny forest of moss in the morning sun.

Saturn has 128 newly-discovered moons. Here they are color-coded by their MPEC release. Orange: MPEC 2025 E153, Purple: MPEC 2025-E154, Green: MPEC 2025-E155.
Kudos an die Stern-Reaktion. Die Vorlage ist klassisch, aber wie viele können sich daran noch erinnern?
Comics page on how a star forms, what’s going on inside, and how it’s generating new elements over its lifetime - and a reversal of entropy’s downward flow towards disorder. There’s a drawing of a star that’s about the width of the page in the center - realistic on its outside and diagrammatic on the interior. Running through it from top of page to bottom of page - is an hourglass like shape with various panels, sort of like greek meanders ornamenting it that detail various parts of the narrative here. The interior of the star shape is in four quadrants (a bit of the middle and the center are carved out by the hourglass, which i’ll get to next). upper left quadrant is a diagram of the force of gravity versue the resistance pressue of atoms being shoved together - represented by black arrows drawing inward and white drawing outward - which make a circular star shape complete with the tails of the black arrows as rays of the star. the background for this panel is a warped grid as space would be warped by this massive object. Upper right panel is a closeup on just a few of these white and black arrows - and within them - filled with more closely packed particles and then also tiny arrows pressing from outside. Lower left panel has the path light takes to leave a star - a brownian motion trail, bouncing around randomly in all sorts of directions before eventually leaving the star. The final panel within the star is a more realistic depiction of what the regions within the star might look like. On the hourglass, there are periodic stripes with panels inside them - in the other spaces, we see circles as simplified particles falling down this funnel and getting closer together as they near the center (as with hydrogen falling into a star). the first row of panels is a series of hourglasses - with sand running down. The next one is a quick retelling of the birth of the universe to the first filaments. Then the hourglasses again, now they are spinning, sand running uphill. T…
At last! Finished page: how a star forms, what fuels it, & how it forges new forms into being! A star is a momentary reversal - a wellspring of possibilities that makes life possible. This took me some time to figure out to say the least - but geeked to be done & move onward! #Nostos #Unflattening 2
I had this charming encounter with a chipping sparrow munching on dandelions right at the end of a hike. Apr '22
Always delightful to see an in-focus kinglet photo (easier said than done, in my experience) but also the alt text on this is delightful.
See how much more evocative and descriptive your alt text can be (versus “photo of a Golden-crowned Kinglet”)?
Just magic...
