Just a couple of photos this evening, both from my garden about 30 mins ago.

This is the second, 1 of 20 odd Starlings that regularly pop in to hoover up the mealworm for their chicks

Neither one had a searchlight, or one of those million-watt flashlights that run out of battery power after an hour or so.

They just had candles, small flames of golden glow that didn't command the attention of the surrounding countryside and beyond, but did provide enough light for their needs.

A small light, in the right place, illuminates.

I send thanks to the buyer from Canada who purchased a framed print of

Field of Dreams -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/field-of-dreams-steve-henderson.html?product=framed-print

May the artwork take you to an extraordinarily pleasant meadow, one in which you wander about freely, with total abandon, as if you were a child discovering a most magical place.

It was not a landscape through which you could quickly move, power walk over, run across, rush past.

But then again, it was not a landscape that you wanted to spend little time in. It invited -- nay, demanded, in a friendly, open fashion -- you to linger.

"Must you," it murmured, "always be in a hurry?"

Imagine a device that is able to convert sunlight into storable energy. A device capable of transforming CO² into oxygen and sugar without external power supply. A device that is non-polluting and human friendly. That keeps cool & fresh while working. That is self reproducing. That doesn't cost a cent to make. That is biodegradable & offers habitats & food to many species.

It's not science fiction.
That wonderful visionary device exists.

And humans are too blind to see.

My birdbath garden at mom's old cottage. Bumblebees loved the globe thistle, fritillary butterflies swarmed the coneflowers, and the red bee-balm was guaranteed to draw ruby-throat hummingbirds. There's a serviceberry tree to the left of the glider and a witch hazel tree in the border behind it. A mail-order ginseng plant liked this location and reseeded itself. Photo by my mom.

Went out today with the sole intention of photographing Goslings and Ducklings. So there may be a few fluffy bundles in my timeline today.

This is a Graylag Gosling, I was so close I had to remove the tele-convertor I usually use

Possibly the weirdest planet yet discovered?

Newfound world 2M1510 (AB) b appears to orbit not one but two stars...and they are actually failed stars, known as brown dwarfs...and the planet orbits sideways, in a unique up-and-down polar orbit.

https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2508/ #space #science #astronomy #nature

Left: This image, taken in visible light, shows 2M1510 AB, a pair of brown dwarfs orbiting each other. The two brown dwarfs, A and B, are seen as a single source in this image, but we know there are two of them because they periodically eclipse each other. When monitoring their orbits, astronomers found perturbations that can only be explained by the gravitational tug of an exoplanet circling both brown dwarfs in a perpendicular orbit. This system contains a third brown dwarf, 2M1510 C, which is located too far away to be responsible for these perturbations.

Right: This is an artist’s impression of the exoplanet 2M1510 (AB) b’s unusual orbit around its host stars, a pair of brown dwarfs. The newly discovered planet has a polar orbit, which is perpendicular to the plane in which the two stars are traveling.

A vast expanse of colorful, striped tulip fields stretches towards the distant Cascades Mountains as seen from Mount Vernon, Washington, with dramatic clouds allowing beams of sunlight to break through early in the morning yesterday.
This farm is part of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, the second largest in the entire USA, about one and a half hour north of Seattle. Peak bloom is from mid-April to the end of April with many beautiful varieties.

There're many varieties, so we can enjoy peak bloom for almost a month long.

A vibrant yellow tulip stands out among a group of pink tulips, like a rebel, with droplets of water glistening on the petals. The contrast between the yellow and pink flowers creates a striking visual effect in Skagit Valley, where the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival takes place yearly in the month of April, north of Seattle with many participating farms.

Hey all, this is my last photo from our visit of the Wildpark Poing. There are quite some Peacocks around freely. And one of them came rather close and -after a bit of waiting- gave quite a show.

It was not just interesting to see (never saw a peacock coming so close), but also from the photography aspect: How could I get a photo that highlights the animal and feathers but doesn't include a lot of background-clutter or other distractions.

#photography #nature #birds #peacock #wildparkpoing

A magnificent peacock is captured in this image, showcasing its stunning tail feathers spread out in full display. The vibrant green and blue hues of the peacock's plumage contrast beautifully with the lush green foliage in the background. The peacock, a member of the pheasant family, is seen with its distinctive crest and elegant beak. The image captures the peacock in its natural outdoor habitat, exuding grace and majesty. The dominant colors of green and blue further emphasize the regal appearance of this bird, creating a visually captivating scene of wildlife in all its glory.

Today we found a Blanding's Turtle, with a bright yellow chin and throat. Very considerate of her to look sideways so I was able to ID her.
It's a rare and endangered species.
