In Search of Tall Trees On the tall-tree hunters of California

There are the world’s tallest trees, and there are the groups of people who find them. (But don’t expect them to disclose their locations. The last time they did that, the resulting crowds were more trouble than they were worth.)

Robert Gemmell Hutchinson's work is of a young woman about to play golf, checking a barometer, the forecast hopeful. Her clothing follows 1920's golfing fashion trends, an oversized flat cap and matching two-piece dress.

A family of Ravens is putting the goth back in gothic at NYC's largest cathedral--St John the Divine. There are five mouths to feed, so the parents are staying busy! ⛪️⛪️⛪️ #Ravens #Cathedral #birding

There's no time to rest--as soon as one round of feeding is finished, the parent heads right back out to get more.

'Girl Reading in a Hammock,' (1910) is a minor masterpiece in Robert Graafland's body of work. The picture was painted in his Italianate garden in Limburg, a place where he left the influences of the Hague School and adopted the colourful influences of the French Impressionists.

'Summer Morning,' (1896) was painted among the rocks at Newport Beach, Falmouth, in Cornwall. Sun worship and the sea were two of Henry Scott Tuke’s most persistent pictorial themes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Two sheep stand in a field facing the camera, with more sheep scattered across rolling green countryside in the background. Long grass fills the foreground, framed by a nearby tree, and the sky glows with soft pink‑orange light.

Good Night. ✨

The morning rush hour with our forever animal friends in slowmotion. Did the duck slip or was she tripped? We need a video ref

Temperature topped 70F today - can't remember it being that warm in April here before. 😐

It was 89° in Arvin CA when this irrigator was making sure the onion fields had the precise amount of water they need. It's skilled work as he must make sure there's enough water to prevent dehydration & scorching while avoiding excessive water that causes root damage. #WeFeedYou
