This tree trunk will eventually disintegrate, dissolve, and disappear - and will be recycled if you wish. A hundred years from now, there will probably be nobody to remember this tree. It will be as if it had never been here. As if. Because it was here. It once stood here for decades and left its imprint in the structure of life, even in the material and physical strata of the planet. As such, this tree has indeed impacted on the structure of the cosmos and changed it. Because it once was here, plenty of tiny changes have occurred around it. Irreversibly so. Remember.
Lightlings don't normally *hatch* but this one did. He is hoping his sibling will hatch quickly so they have some of their 30 minutes on Earth left to be together,
Their creator, that is me, is considering letting them have 3 more 30 minute time periods in different Cities or Towns of the World. That would open them up for a total of 120 minutes on Earth, with being able to experience some different places than just Eugene-Springfield area of Oregon. They would still disintegrate when their time on Earth was done but would be able to experience more places. I have not yet changed their rules, but I'm leaning toward doing it. And each Lightling could choose 3 different places; they wouldn't have to all pick the same three. Some Flickrites could even inivte one to come to their location. This could be fun!

In this era of instant internet news, you may ask why you should save your newspaper. There are two obvious reasons:
1. For house breaking a new puppy
2. To spread out on the table when eating crabs
Well, as you can see by this photo there is an obvious third reason that even I didn’t think of ... curtains.
You never know when you might need a quick set of curtains, which also provide excellent reading material, crosswords, sudoku and the like.

Beneath the infinite vault of a twilight sky—where hues of gold disintegrate into bruised indigo—rises an immense shard of petrified time. Not shaped by compassion, but by the cold geometry of relentless forces. An arch of ice, improbable in its defiance, gapes like a ruptured portal, framing a sun that bleeds its final embers into the encroaching void. This light, fleeting and feral, clings desperately to the world before dissolving into darkness.
The ice itself is a contradiction. Its surface is etched with scars of upheaval, chaotic fissures that seem almost deliberate, like forgotten inscriptions carved by an indifferent universe. The void beyond the arch quivers, refracted and distorted, a reminder that even reality splinters when seen through such crystalline apertures.
Beneath this towering fragment, the water lies taut, a shimmering membrane of deceptive calm. It holds a reflection—pristine, yet disturbed—a liquid double that trembles as though under the weight of a concealed truth. This mirrored world does not merely echo the one above; it twists it, offering a version that is at once perfect and unnerving. It feels less like an image than an accusation, silent yet unyielding.
Here, form and dissolution are locked in perpetual combat. The ice, rigid yet eroding, looms not as a monument but as a fleeting testament to resistance. It exists on the brink of collapse, a fragile interval between birth and annihilation. To witness it is to confront the absurdity of persistence, the delicate violence of simply being.
In this frozen theatre, the serene and the catastrophic are indistinguishable. The sky burns with indifferent glory, the ice contorts in its silent struggle, and the water, ever watchful, remains a fluid archive of dissolution. To gaze upon this is to feel the raw pulse of entropy, to understand that all grandeur is borrowed time—beauty poised precariously at the edge of obliteration.

Left alone to disintegrate on a windblown, misty beach in Peloponnese, Dimitrios proved to be every bit as enchanting as in my dreams. Haunting and haunted, broken but not yet dead, it still stands upright, a ghostly mirage condemned to travel forever through misty mornings, fiery sunsets and sunrises, through rain and thunderstorms, gloomy skies and starry nights, through time but never through space, never leaving the place that's been eating it away for almost 30 years now.

In the Netherlands a right-wing political party called "Forum voor Democratie" is disintegrating through self-purification, after the party leader supported repeated racist and anti semitic statements from inside the youth section.

Wapiti dreads....hard to believe it's already that time of year when the bull elk begin to shed their velvet and prepare for the rut. I was fortunate enough to come across this guy high up on the tundra and spent some time watching him try to rub the velvet off.
I receive a lot of questions about whether it’s painful for the elk to shed their velvet. Research suggests that the process is not actually painful. Shedding velvet begins because the elk’s blood supply has dropped off to this part of the body, so the tissues are naturally disintegrating.

Second shot with new camera! So excited.
After about 6 hours work today and yesterday on this, it's finally finished and wow, just wow!
After I finished the drawing, I spent about 10 minutes editing it in another app!
Did you guess that this was coming from yesterday's teaser?
If you want individual, un edited pictures of a specific character, don't hesitate to ask and feel free to add yourself!
C&C Appreciated

The terminus of Jorge Montt Glacier was almost impossible to approach due to the disintegrating ice that created a large area of slush and growlers at the ice face. Raindrops dot the tiny bit of open water in the foreground. South Patagonia Icefield, Patagonia.

This was a pulley from an exercise machine that should be all horizontal, but the ball bearings disintegrated. The particles on the third row are bits of metal and I added some other textures to make it look even more shattered.
disintegration...I might have posted this before ( there are a number of versions ) but came across it and the dark spots are new perhaps due to not washing the paper well enough...no matter what your medium is time eventually gets to it...usually later with film. The tones are reminiscent of wet plate photos
