A close-up view of Gem-studded Puffballs. After they ripen a small pore will open on the top of each one and spores will be dispersed on air currents.
Always a great view in late summer of Gem Valley ID from Beaver Dam Rd. The pointed mountain on skyline is my ole favorite mt Sherman. This is the opposite view from my side in Bear Lake Valley
The Year 1000.
On display at Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (RMO) Leiden NL. The Year 1000 presents almost every important archaeological artefact from the period 900-1100 that has been found in the Netherlands.

All packed and ready to go on a 4-day backpack. Woke up at 3am and really wasn't feeling it. So, we nixed the trip. But, rather than give up entirely on being in the mountains, we went for a long day hike instead. Years ago I was up there early season during the week with a friend, but Robert has never been because you don't go there on busy weekends, and he was always working weekdays. So Snow and Gem Lakes popped into my head. Good thing we bailed on the backpack because I was sick most of the day, but still it was great to get out.
Shot in the afternoon as the clouds were rolling in.
“Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”

Gem Valley & Baldy Mt
While driving through Gem Valley Lynette commented that this was a beautiful valley.
That was before we got the view above the valley.
It may be hard to see but Baldy still has two small patches of snow left

To me, amethyst is the gem of love and will always remain so.
I've got a large collection of amethyst stones that I used to gather from around my school almost fifteen years back. This is one of them. I've been fascinated by gemstones since then, and the wonderful colors they come in!
Picked up a gem of a lense, the Tokina 11-16 f2.8...
Learning to shoot with a wide angle is a completely difference experience, one that is going to take me some time to get comfortable with it. This shot was taken with the first batch of pictures developed from this lens. Shout out to Visual Echos for the edit, as without him this shot fails to stun.
This colourful bubble is a planetary nebula called NGC 6818, also known as the Little Gem Nebula. It is located in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer), roughly 6000 light-years away from us. The rich glow of the cloud is just over half a light-year across — humongous compared to its tiny central star — but still a little gem on a cosmic scale.
When stars like the Sun enter retirement, they shed their outer layers into space to create glowing clouds of gas called planetary nebulae. This ejection of mass is uneven, and planetary nebulae can have very complex shapes. NGC 6818 shows knotty filament-like structures and distinct layers of material, with a bright and enclosed central bubble surrounded by a larger, more diffuse cloud.
Scientists believe that the stellar wind from the central star propels the outflowing material, sculpting the elongated shape of NGC 6818. As this fast wind smashes through the slower-moving cloud it creates particularly bright blowouts at the bubble’s outer layers.
Hubble previously imaged this nebula back in 1997 with its Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, using a mix of filters that highlighted emission from ionised oxygen and hydrogen (opo9811h). This image, while from the same camera, uses different filters to reveal a different view of the nebula. A version of the image was submitted to the Hubble’s Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestant Judy Schmidt.

A disconsolate man sits on the edge of the area of Stokes Croft called Turbo Island. A partly burned shopping trolley full of discarded clothes and trash is in the foreground. On top of the heap of rubbish an old guide to a beautiful part of the countryside. 'Gems of Lakeland'. A book that is as far away from this scene as is possible. Welcome to the UK May 2021
