Ready To Pop

On a rainy spring afternoon, the pink flower of a fruit tree is starting to open. The yellow stamen inside the packed petals are already visible.

Yesterday I came upon one of the most colorful aspen stands I have encountered.

A mesmerizing view of Haystack Rock against the backdrop of a star-filled sky with the Milky Way core centered above the massive rock.
The reflection of Haystack Rock and the stars in the water adds to the scene's dreamlike quality.
This single exposure, vertical image was taken on September 16th, 2025 in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

The image captures a serene natural scene, in a wooded setting with a creek, featuring:
Misty Morning Light: Golden rays of sunlight pierce through the trees, illuminating a misty area near a creek, creating a soft and ethereal glow.
Reflective Water: The still surface of the water perfectly reflects the surrounding trees and the luminous mist, adding depth and tranquility to the scene.
Lush Vegetation: Dense foliage, including trees and undergrowth, lines the banks of the water, with some plants highlighted by the sunlight.
Tranquil Atmosphere: The combination of mist, light, and reflections evokes a peaceful and natural ambiance, suggesting an early morning setting in the Pacific Northwest.

Es ist Herbst und der Igel in meinem Garten wird bald wieder sein Winterquartier in einer vernachlässigten Ecke meines Gartens einrichten...

Igel im Herbstlaub - meine neues Aquarellgemälde

Habt einen schönen Herbsttag!

#art #painting #aquarell #watercolour #igel #hedgehog #animals #nature #autumn #herbst

Ein kleiner Igel schaut neugierig aus einem Haufen leuchtend bunter Herbstblätter, die er zum Überwintern zusammengetragen hat. Sein braunes Fell fügt sich harmonisch in die warmen Töne der von der goldenen Herbstsonne beschienenen Umgebung ein. Der Hintergrund besticht durch satte, warme Farben und schafft eine gemütliche Atmosphäre.
Igel im Herbstlaub ist ein handgemaltes Aquarellgemälde der Künstlerin Karen Kaspar.
Hier liegt das Bild auf einem Tisch zusammen mit Pinseln, Aquarellfarben, Herbstlaub und Kastanien.

Two Highland cows blocking the path. The cow in the foreground is large, with shaggy reddish-brown fur and long, prominent horns. It is standing on a grassy slope next to a paved path, facing slightly toward the camera. In the background, a second, smaller Highland cow can be seen further down the path. The scene is surrounded by lush greenery, with a dense forest visible behind the cows.

Tardigrades (water bears) are also called “moss piglets” by some. Cool. I guess I can see that 🤔

Also, my son just told me that they are in the clade “panarthropoda, which includes arthropods, tardigrades, and velvet worms,”and their little mouths are called “stylets.”

I learn something new every day. 🎉

Rainstorm, have you decided to dissipate?

Just a few minutes ago you looked so threatening, so intent upon leashing your fury upon the beach, the sea, me . . .

But then the sun broke through, created a crack in the darkness, and your power seemed to weaken.

Light does that, doesn't it . . .

Oh, don't grumble. I know it's no fun to drive in, but seriously, the beauty of that first, fresh snow is captivating.

There was much sound, the crash of the water over the cliffs to the pool below, but there was no noise, really. Not the noise of chatter and blather and empty promises blithely made.

And that latter was noise he needed to get away from, so that he could think.

The path is relatively level -- the trail hasn't started seriously climbing yet -- so you can walk it relatively quickly.

But then again, why hurry? It's pleasant here in the midst of the trees. There's both sunlight and shadow, and the path itself is a bit mysterious, teasing you about where it wants to go.

I think I just found my first ever Monarch chrysalis. I could cry it’s so beautiful. 🥹

Looks like it could be a day or two away from beginning to emerge.

A serene, snowy landscape featuring a straight path that stretches toward the horizon. The scene is characterized by a striking contrast between the bright, snow-covered ground and the dynamic sky above.

A wide, snow-packed trail dominates the foreground and center, showing faint tracks from previous travelers. It creates a strong leading line that draws the eye directly toward two prominent, bare trees in the distance.

Flanking the path are fields of tall, dried sunflowers stalks, their golden-brown hues providing a warm contrast to the white snow. To the left and right, dense clusters of dark evergreen and deciduous trees frame the horizon.

📚 An Immense World by: Ed Yong

The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every kind of animal, including humans, is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of our immense world.

The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every kind of animal, including humans, is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of our immense world.

In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent, waves of electromagnetism, and pulses of pressure that surround us. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires, turtles that can track the Earth’s magnetic fields, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages, and even humans who wield sonar like bats. We discover that a crocodile’s scaly face is as sensitive as a lover’s fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, that plants thrum with the inaudible songs of courting bugs, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. We learn what bees see in flowers, what songbirds hear in their tunes, and what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, while looking ahead at the many mysteries that remain unsolved.

Funny, rigorous, and suffused with the joy of discovery, An Immense World takes us on what Marcel Proust called “the only true voyage . . . not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes.”

As the sun ascended over the Everglades, casting a golden hue upon the horizon, the majestic cypress trees stood in striking silhouette against the painted sky, while a gentle mist hovered low over the tranquil waters, adding an aura of serenity to the untouched landscape.
