As we kick off into summer, I always like to think back to just a few months ago when summer was just a dream, and cold was the present reality.

It's so easy to forget, especially in the heat of summer, that nature has her seasons, with different features in each one. Cold in winter, hot in summer, BUT, because nature and weather are unpredictable, surprises aren't unexpected.

May you get out there, often, to that beautiful place where you feel inspired, relaxed, calm, creative, and free to be who and what you are.

That's how good things get done on this planet -- by individual people who express themselves through who they are, and what they love to do.

The bold word “OWL” appears at the bottom, adding a playful, artistic touch. The owl is adorned with delicate floral accents, evoking a sense of mystery, wisdom, and woodland magic.

Sooty Oystercatchers (Haematopus fuliginosus),natives of Australia and New Zealand.If an oyster or other bivalve is slightly open, the oystercatcher quickly, precisely insert its bill to snip the adductor muscle that holds the two halves together. Then it's lunch. #birds #birdsofmastodon #biology #nature #photography #wildlife

Imagine a striking bird that lives along the coast, especially on rocky shores. The Sooty Oystercatcher is entirely black, from its head to its tail, looking very sleek. What really stands out are its bright, almost glowing, red-orange bill, which is quite long and strong, and its pinkish-red legs. These vibrant colors against its dark body make it quite distinctive.

These birds are found in places like Australia and New Zealand. They are often seen walking confidently on rocks or along the waterline, searching for food. Their name "oystercatcher" gives a clue about what they eat, but they're not just limited to oysters! They use their powerful, specially designed bill to pry open or even hammer into hard-shelled creatures like mussels, limpets, and, yes, oysters. They can also snip the muscles inside a slightly open shell to get to the soft meat. Besides shellfish, they'll also eat crabs, marine worms, and other small creatures found in the coastal environment.

An object called 2017 OF201 is shaking up our ideas about the outer zone of our solar system.
It follows an extreme, 25,000-year orbit.
It may be one of a hundred or so similar bodies filling a seemingly vacant region.
And its existence casts doubt on searches for Planet 9.

Plan view of the orbits of TNOs (trans-Neptune objects) with extremely wide orbits, including our newly discovered 2017 OF201, which has a distinct orbit is an outlier to the apsidal clustering of the others. For reference, the most probable orbit of Planet X from Siraj et al. (2025) is shown in white.

Not that long ago, it was cold, and we shivered when we went outside without a coat.

Not too many weeks from now it will be hot, and we'll hold the glass of iced tea against our face as we think about snow . . .

Love going outside right after it rains. All the little critters come out to explore!

Met two friends today, a #caterpillar and a #PotatoBug.

Relatively, we're all small.

The NLC season has started in Washington state!
I have a fascination with these rare, very high-altitude noctilucent or night shining clouds (NLC) hanging at the edge of space with an electric blue glow, can’t be mistaken when these beautiful luminous blue-white tendrils are spreading across the sky in sunset afterglow over the Salish Sea (as seen here).

They’re composed of very small water ice crystals formed on minute particles of dust, possibly of cosmic origin from micrometeors. They are visible in the northern hemisphere at latitudes between 45˚and 65˚north, and occur after sunset or before sunrise from mid June to the end of July here at our latitude (47°).

I’ve been following up on a Barred Owl family with three chicks. Love this captured moment as sunlight filtered through the trees of a dense PNW forest.

A cute barred owlet perches gracefully on a moss-covered branch, surrounded by the rich, dark textures of a dense forest of the Pacific Northwest. They've fledged along with two siblings just over two weeks ago and I've been following their developments.
Captured them at the right moment when sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating the baby owl's intricate feather patterns and creating a serene, natural atmosphere at an Edmonds park in Washington state.

To watch a storm brewing, slowly unfolding, you need an unimpeded view of the sky -- no buildings in the way. And that's what you find in a large field with mountains and trees in the distance.

Watch the wind whip its way through the clouds, stirring them up, pushing them about, piling them up, getting ready for the big show.

"Ah good. At last we've escaped them."

Not that I want to be anti-social, but when I visit beautiful places like Zion National Park in Utah, USA, I like to leave the crowds.

And while it's difficult to do in popular spots (Zion gets some 4-5 million visitors per year), if you find the trails that aren't listed on the visitor brochures, you'll quite often succeed.
