The origin of being does not yield itself to the voice that proclaims it.

Within it, minds arise and begin weaving meanings…
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.

A sunset centered in the image
Orange in swirling clouds. A darkened Sea in the lower third. The sky tinted blue to green.

Good morning.
Happy Friday. #Scape
Clouds trying to block our light show our beauty. Illuminating our varied color, their tumult. Shine.
Have a beautiful day!

The northern lights are dramatic green swoops in the skies near TromsΓΈ, Norway. Lots of stars are dotted among them.

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.

Olympus OM-1 / 90 mm macro lens / 180 images stacked, ISO 200, f/5.

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 brain’s 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.

πŸ“– 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 brain’s learning and memory centers. Cont. in Alt Text*

A cool leafhopper I photographed a couple days ago in PerΓΊ. Anyone know what species or genus it is? Reminds me a bit of Molomea but leafhoppers are really diverse.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El NiΓ±o

Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures.
