Our world is not divided by race, color, gender, or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender, or religion.

BREAKING: A Closer Look at the King of Planets. 🪐🛰️

NASA has just released a new perspective of Jupiter so sharp it’s almost impossible to comprehend. Those intricate, marble-like swirls aren't just clouds—they are colossal storms, many of which could swallow Earth whole. 🌍🌪️

Prince - Sometimes It Snows In April (Live At Webster Hall - April 20, 2004) YouTube video by princevevo

Sometimes it snows in April.
10 years gone... sigh.

Paul McCartney talks about Prince, who we lost 10 years ago today.

"Music is an art and art has its own rules. And one of them is that you must pay more attention to it than anything else in the world if you are going to be true to yourself. And if you don’t do it, and you are an artist, it punishes you."

Nina Simone
February 21, 1933 - April 21, 2003

Hard on the heels of the last cherry blossoms comes the ubiquitous azalea. Gaudy, dazzling and often over the top, it's one of my favourite flowers😊

PHOTO by Darwis Alwan. Tall, slender trees rise through a dense mist in a quiet forest. Their trunks are dark and speckled, twisting gently as they stretch toward a pale sky veiled in fog. At ground level, vibrant green grasses and broad-leaved plants create a lush underlayer, damp with moisture. The scene feels suspended in stillness, as if time has slowed to a hush beneath the canopy of silent trees.

In the forest, time is irrelevant. Life is measured in cycles, not seconds.

A big cluster of wavy brown mushrooms next to a tree stump.

Came across this big mass of wavy mushrooms when walking around the grounds of Glengarry Castle.

Moss-covered fallen tree trunk in a lush woodland, with ferns growing on its surface and a carpet of bluebells in the background. Thin tree branches arch overhead, framing a narrow dirt path that winds throughout the green, spring-like forest.

PHOTO by Ronny Siegel. A narrow street in Kyoto gently climbs toward a five-tiered pagoda, framed by traditional wooden buildings and tiled rooftops. Women in summer kimono stroll leisurely, shaded by bright parasols in pastel tones. Their yukata flutter in the breeze, echoing the timeless charm of the quiet neighborhood. The scene is warm, vibrant, and steeped in layered history beneath a sky brushed with drifting clouds.

This ancient pagoda confirms the Lindy Effect. The longer it has lasted, the longer it will survive. Outliving every modern edifice around it.
