The northern lights are dramatic green swoops in the skies near TromsΓΈ, Norway. Lots of stars are dotted among them.
Success!
(More tomorrow - Iβm cold and exhausted from the hunt)
Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.
Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

A cool little Mycena that I photographed in Oxapampa, PerΓΊ. Never seen one with this cool stem texture before, no idea which species it could be.

Engaging with a new environment β even temporarily β increases cognitive flexibility and enhances our ability to absorb new information. These benefits are linked to changes in dopamine signaling and brain wave patterns, which support our brainβs capacity to reset, recharge, and rewire. I will assume that since you are looking at this on your phone or laptop, that you need some green therapy desperately, so I've shared an image of a Mother Mule Deer and her fawns moving up trail along a dry creek bed through tall golden grasses with colorful foliage painting the surrounding trees. Zen for the eyes.
π Neuroscientific research has shown that a change of scenery can have powerful effects on the brain. Novel environments β especially natural ones β stimulate the brainβs learning and memory centers. Cont. in Alt Text*

Against the backdrop of a sky that is blue at the top with clouds at the bottom, a single icicle sheds a large and a small water drop. The large drop refracts the sky.
The melt, I hope, begins.

All covered in snow, a bench provides a viewpoint across a valley to skyscrapers. It sits amongst snow covered trees.

The origin of being does not yield itself to the voice that proclaims it.
Within it, minds arise and begin weaving meaningsβ¦
Stars ignite and collapse into silence,
the ancient question of why there is anything at all continues to echo.
What dissolves when it notices it cannot stand outside it.
