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.

If you need a blast of beauty (and who doesn't?) I highly recommend browsing the new Astronomy Photographer of the Year winners. They're spectacular -- and neither of these shots even made it to #1.

https://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/astronomy-photographer-year/galleries/overall-winners-2025 #space #science #nature #art #photography

"During a routine time-lapse observation of the solar chromosphere [the thin, reddish layer of the Sun’s atmosphere above the visible surface], I captured a serendipitous moment when an aircraft crossed the field of view. Preserving this transient frame, I employed multiple blending modes to enhance the details of the solar background. Beyond stacking individual video frames, I processed the sequence, undertook colour inversion and synthesised 100 images through combined mean and minimum blending. This dual approach effectively accentuated both bright plages [active regions in the chromosphere] and dark laments through enhanced contrast.

"The composite image reveals the evolution of the Sun’s dynamic surface across a two-hour observational period, while the aircraft’s two-second transit remains frozen in time. This layered imaging rearranges time, blending celestial bodies and human technology in one photo."

"This is one of my biggest astrophotography accomplishments to date, and the largest panorama I have ever captured, with the full resolution image containing over a billion pixels from 62 images stitched together. I had envisioned this composition for a long time, capturing the twin glacial rivers with the Milky Way core off to the left of the image, as well as the famous Southern Cross and other pointers high in the centre sky."

How do we live together in #nature? #WoodMeadows, a managed & productive #ecosystem, can achieve this balance, a model of human activity benefitting #biodiversity.

And I want to create a #WoodMeadow in #Wales.

For research, I’m going to the 14th European Conference on #Ecological Restoration this August in #Estonia, where the wood meadows are the most biodiverse sites in the world.

Hey friends! We just came back from a great hike near #garmischpartenkirchen. We wanted to do this mountain recently but the snow in the upper part was too risky for us.

Today we went there again. Beautiful ascent, nice views. Some spray rain and a slippery, dirty descent. But at the end we even had some sun!

Now we feel tired and a bit sore 😉

A stunning view of a valley surrounded by lush green trees and majestic mountains. The landscape features a cloudy sky overhead, adding a dramatic touch to the scene. Various types of trees, including Maples, with both green and bare branches, are scattered throughout the valley. Snow can be seen on the mountain peaks in the distance, enhancing the serene and picturesque setting. This outdoor mountain scene exudes a sense of wilderness and tranquility, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

The landscape is expansive, with mountains faintly visible in the background. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, capturing the essence of a rural area in full bloom during springtime.

I usually make things for people to use at home, but it seems to me that the only purpose of this bowl is to bob and spin in the Gulf.

Last year, we learned our porcupines do not like getting their paws wet. So my wife built them a little stone bridge to cross the 1 inch deep trench 🥹 They seem to have mastered it! Anything to not get wet. Even if they’re already soaked from the pouring rain…

Among the most successful of the TX natives I planted in the spring are the Turk’s Caps, all have thrived & grown big, all are still blooming. And they’re very popular with the hummingbirds and #butterflies, such as this Gulf Fritillary.

Aurora colors come from atoms that are trying to shed some of their energy.

In very thin air, oxygen survives in a delicate, high-energy state that emits green light. In denser air, atomic collisions knock oxygen to a lower-energy state that emits red. Nitrogen is a robust emitter that glows bright in even lower, denser layers of the atmosphere.

Beautiful science.

Just at Civil twilight the Aurora Start to show up in my Southern and Northern Sky, despite the partially blue sky and waxing crescent Moonlight, it was amazing and I captured it from my Observatories in Yellow Springs, Ohio on Friday evening until around 12:30am when clouds rolled in to cover the Awesome display.

A small tree in late spring bursts into red flowers in a closeup view of the branches.

The sun, low in the sky behind the tree, is making the petals glow from reds to bright pink and behind this tree can be seen bright green leaves of another tree in the background.

The first two paintings for the October challenge I’m hosting over on ig. The prompts are "Eyes in the Dark" and "Cairn".

#MastoArt #TraditionalArt #MixedMedia #Gouache #ColoredPencil #FantasyArt #DarkArt #LandscapeArt #Nature #Cairn

A photo of a portrait-format painting, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a snippet of a sketchbook, a paint brush, coloured pencils, hag stones, and moss. The painting features an old bridge surrounded by rubble in a dense conifer forest, lit from behind by cold blue light. In the shadows under the bridge, a humanoid silhouette crouches, pale blue eyes watching.

The painting features a slim cairn in a wetland in warm autumn colours, a thin wooden walkway leading from the cairn to another patch of grass across water. The background fades into mist.

From one of my favourite local #Vancouver #Forests to explore, this image of a Maple Vine tree reaching for the light is one of my favourites.

To get the compression I wanted I had to stitch about 9 frames together to get the full image in one shot. Moving closer would mean a large blue sky or the gravel trail beneath the tree would be visible. But, I'm happy with the result :) I titled it "Reach" given the trees aggressive lean.

#forestfriday #landscapephotography #lpw #nature #photography

A lush forest scene, with a multi trunk maple vine leaning at an aggressive angle across the panoramic scene towards the brighter sunlit area on the right. The yellow leaves of the tree contrast strongly against the dark greens. Some haze from mist obscures the background forest slightly.

The weather has remained so good here in SE Massachusetts that I couldn’t help but complete the sea-to-summit cycle on the sooner side by getting back to the ocean today, less than 24 hours after hiking out of the mountains of New Hampshire. Felt like summer again! Enjoyed this view of the ocean for several hours plus took a short walk on the beach, but no backpack this time! 😀🌊 #CapeCod #ocean #beach

Photo looking out at the ocean from a beach. The water is calm and shallow in the foreground. The sandy ripples of the seafloor can be seen in the foreground through the water along with shadows made from the wavy water. The ocean is dark and blue toward the horizon. Solid blue sky overhead.

I took this photo this afternoon on a Cape Cod beach.

Robin in the Blue is a watercolor painting in contemporary square format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A little robin sits on a branch and looks to the right. The background is abstract in light blue with loose brushstrokes and splashes of colour. The orange-red breast of the little bird stands out as an eye-catcher for the viewer due to the color contrast with the background.

I spent a lot of time as a child, wandering through meadows, staring at the sky, exploring my surroundings, daydreaming about the future.

I also spent a lot of time, at home, watching TV.

One was a waste of time, lost moments that could have been spent doing something, anything, of greater worth.

The other wasn't wasted time. Thinking never is.

Oh, I know it will be dark soon, but it won't come suddenly; there will be time to find my way back to the tent.

I'd like to just sit here on the banks of this quiet lake and feel the sunset coming on, breathe in the twilight and the silence, relax into the intense calmness and stillness of this moment.
