Another week, another million dollars (not). A very warm start of the week at 65f/18c. For the first time since Feb 1, I was totally free of flu symptoms.
Have a good week, everyone.

In the bone-deep chill of 1792, they gathered on the edge of the Atlantic—over 1000 Black Loyalists, weary of the lies carved into the soil of Nova Scotia. 10 years they waited for land that never came. Now they would leave. Not in retreat, but defiance. Toward Sierra Leone, and the freedom they would build themselves. A home worthy of their struggle. #history #photography

I can confirm via Patioboater's Crappy Lungs-o-meter(TM) that the air quality outside in this smokey sunset is terrible.

Pretty sunset, tho'.

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.

Nightfall In Lincoln

As the sun begins to set this street by the side of Lincoln Cathedral goes quiet. Deserted and silent, not even a little mouse with clogs on.

A Magnífico Photography composition of the Cosmos superbly captured
NGC 1365 Spiral Galaxy

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap171012.html

#NASA #space #Cosmos #Photography #Physics #Chemistry

The image features a detailed view of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365, also known as the "Majestic Island Universe." The galaxy is prominently displayed in the center, showcasing its bright core and spiral arms, with a bar structure extending through the center. The image is a sharp color photograph, highlighting intense star-forming regions at the ends of the bar and along the spiral arms, as well as details of dust lanes cutting across the galaxy's bright core. The background is filled with numerous stars, emphasizing the vastness of space.

The text below the image provides additional information about NGC 1365, noting that it is located 60 million light-years away in the Fornax constellation and is a dominant member of the Fornax galaxy cluster. It mentions the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's core and the role of the prominent bar in the galaxy's evolution. The image credit and copyright are attributed to Dietmar Hager, Eric Benson, and Torsten Grossmann. The text also hints at a future image titled "under the galaxy."

In 1783, nearly 3,000 Black Loyalists arrived in Nova Scotia—free in name, but not in fate. Promised land and liberty, they built settlements from bark and memory, while the empire marked their freedom with boundaries. It is a story of what they built, what was taken, and what remains. #Juneteenth #Histodons #politics #BlackMastodon #history #photography

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.

Chasing butterflies.

#Photography

The image features a vibrant butterfly with orange and yellow wings, adorned with black spots, perched on a cluster of pink and white flowers.
The butterfly's wings are open, showcasing intricate patterns and a translucent quality.
The flowers, likely clovers, have a soft, delicate appearance with pink petals and green leaves.

The background is a monochromatic blur, emphasizing the butterfly and flowers in the foreground.
The selective color technique highlights the butterfly and flowers, creating a striking contrast against the grayscale backdrop.

The overall composition is a close-up shot, focusing on the interaction between the butterfly and the flowers, with the butterfly's antennae extending outward.
