I love new spring aspen leaves, and on this windy often rainy day, the fresh leaves look particularly appealing to me. The reddish petiole is the stalk that attaches the leaf blade to the stem. (Beentje, H. (2010). The Kew plant glossary. London: Kew Publishing.)
Populus tremuloides is a deciduous tree native to cooler areas of North America, one of several species referred to by the common name aspen.
Six screen shots blended together and processed heavily in Photoshop using layers, slider bars, blurring, distortion, filters, etc. The six shots I took were practice shots trying movements described in the glossary put together by Richard Rahders and John Lien (psungorus). Those moves have been totally obliterated by the multiple overlays. It took about an hour to complete.

Travelling down to Cornwall, we stopped off at this site.
A misnamed site. A Henge is a ring-shaped bank and ditch, with the ditch inside the bank. There is a ditch and bank around this site, as with many other circles in the UK.
The Oxford English Dictionary cites Ælfric's 10th-century glossary, in which henge-cliff is given the meaning 'precipice', or stone; thus, the stanenges or Stanheng "not far from Salisbury" recorded by 11th-century writers are "stones supported in the air".
Christopher Chippindale's Stonehenge Complete gives the derivation of the name Stonehenge as coming from the Old English words stān 'stone', and either hencg 'hinge' (because the stone lintels hinge on the upright stones) or hen(c)en 'to hang' or 'gallows' or 'instrument of torture' (though elsewhere in his book, Chippindale cites the 'suspended stones' etymology).

Hoarfrost A deposit of interlocking ice crystals (hoar crystals) formed by direct sublimation on objects, usually those of small diameter freely exposed to the air, such as tree branches, plant stems and leaf edges, wires, poles, etc., which surface is sufficiently cooled, mostly by nocturnal radiation, to cause the direct sublimation of the water vapor contained in the ambient air.

We’ve been told space
is like two dark lips colliding
like science fiction
it outlines a small cosmos
where fear hides in a glow
where negative space
becomes a place for wishing
a constellation of hazy tunes
of faint sharp vowels
a glossary of meteors
a telescope to god
a cold bright white
maybe distance damages us
maybe Jupiter
will suddenly surprise us
with a notion of holiness
but instead an old planet
takes over all the space
and we are reminded
of the traces of fire
in our gaze
defining our infidelities

Did you get your disconnection notice?
Mine came in the mail today
They seem to think I'm disconnected
Don't think I know what to read or write or say
Glossaries injected daily
Words and numbers spell out the price to pay
It simply states "you're disconnected baby"
See how easily it all slips away

Lagoa Funda is one of 7 volcanic lakes found in the highlands on the Island of Flores in the Azores. The lakes are the result of activity in one of 3 major volcanic centers. Lagoa Funda (Deep Lagoon) sits in a ~200m deep depression. The volcanic center here was active from ~3430 to 3250 years before present (BP). The activity started with Strombolian type eruptions. Later in the eruption history groundwater was invaded by the the magma. The heating and boiling of the water in contact with the magma created explosive reactions which are called phreatomagmatic eruptions. Geologically, Lagoa Funda is a maar. These geological features are broad volcanic craters formed by these explosive phreatomagmatic eruptions. The cone around the crater is formed of ash and rock particles ejected during the explosions. The resultant rock is often referred to as a pyroclastic rock. The volcanic ash is called tuff. As often happens with maars, the ones on Flores are often filled with lakes.

On January 22, solar reports warned of high solar activity with the presence of two important active regions associated with class M solar flares (www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html). In the image on the left you can see the configuration of the active regions on the Sun's disk. Active region 3559 (detail on the right, left in the complete image of the Sun), had rapid growth and crossed the solar disk in the course of the week. On January 23, this active region and 3561 (on the right in the image of the solar disk separated by around 500,000 km), erupted simultaneously, generating a "sympathetic solar flare", produced by a physical connection between both active regions, which caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia and Indonesia (www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&mo...). The large active region 3559 had a "beta-gamma" class magnetic field and more than thirty sunspots, while 3561 evolved over the course of the week reaching about 100,000 km wide and twenty dark cores.
Details associated with the day of capture: www.spaceweatherlive.com/es/archivo/2024/01/22/dayobs.html
The image of the entire disk on the left was taken with a "Meade" 80/400 refractor telescope and the detail on the right, with an "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. In both cases a "Meade" 575 white light filter was used (remember not to expose your eyes to the Sun or photographic equipment without the appropriate filters), a Player One Neptune-M camera and a Player One IR685 filter.

He presented the plants in alphabetical order; for each one he gave an account of its form and habitat, the best season for collection, and what he called its temperament and powers. Only under the subject of powers did he refer to ancient authorities. His name is commemorated by a genus of flowering plants (Fuchsia).
www.britannica.com/biography/Leonhard-Fuchs
Leonhard Fuchs, (born January 17, 1501, Wemding, Bavaria [Germany]—died May 10, 1566, Tübingen, Württemberg [Germany]), German botanist and physician whose botanical work Historia Stirpium (1542) is a landmark in the development of natural history because of its organized presentation, the accuracy of its drawings and descriptions of plants, and its glossary.
He published the first description of "Fuchsia triphylla, flore coccineo" in 1703. It is sometimes thought that the color fuchsia is also named for Fuchs. This isn't directly correct. The name of the color fuchsia actually derives from fuchsine, an early trade name for the dye, rosaniline hydrochloride, which produces a brilliant pink-purple color. Magenta is another competing trade name for the same dye in England. The dye was given the name of fuchsine in France by its original manufacturer Renard frères et Franc to capitalize both on the increasing popularity of the genus Fuchsia in fashionable gardens and the fact that Renard, or fox in French, translates to Fuchs, or fox, in German.
An 1861 article in Répertoire de Pharmacie in fact confirms that the name was simply chosen for these two reasons and irrelevant of the actual colors of any flowers in the genus Fuchsia.

Amb penes i treballs, tot i alguns nuvols, la contaminació lumínica i anar 40 minuts amb cotxe fins la carretera entre Castellterçol i Castellcir, finalment varem poder veure la aurora SAR del dijous 10 d'octubre de 2024. No era tant potent com la del maig, que per desgracia ens varem perdre, però com a mínim ens varem treure l'espina que teniem clavada al respecte... Amb la càmera es pot apreciar prou bé la vermellor entre lila i rosa del cel septentrional, però fins i tot a ull nu s'apreciaba lleugerament.
Les aurores SAR no son aurores boreals "convencionals", sino fenomens rars i (val a dir) molt menys vistosos. Però que com a minim hi ha alguna possibilitat de veure a Catalunya. Es formen de manera diferent, i també son molt més vermelles i alhora, "tranquiles".

====================================
With some difficulties, despite some clouds, light pollution and a 40-minute drive to the road near Castellterçol to be further away (and higher) from Barcelona, we were finally able to see the "SAR aurora" of Thursday, October 10th, 2024. SAR stands for Stable Auroral Red arc. It was not as powerful as that of May this same year, which unfortunately we missed. With the camera you can appreciate quite well the redness between lilac and pink of the northern sky, but even in naked eye was slightly appreciated.
SAR auroras are not "conventional" aurora borealis or northern lights, but rather rare and (ie) much less spectacular phenomena. But at least there is some possibility of seeing it in Catalonia. They are formed differently, and are also much redder and at the same time, "quiet".
This galaxy resembles a bull's eye, which is appropriate because its appearance is partly due to a smaller galaxy that passed through the middle of this object. The violent collision produced shock waves that swept through the galaxy and triggered large amounts of star formation. X-rays from Chandra (purple) show disturbed hot gas initially hosted by the Cartwheel galaxy being dragged over more than 150,000 light years by the collision. Optical data from Hubble (red, green, and blue) show where this collision may have triggered the star formation.

Alms houses in Polebarn Road, Trowbridge Wiltshire UK.
'Alms means money given to the poor. Almshouses were built by rich people to provide a home for poor people, usually those who were too old or sick to carry on working. These almshouses on Polebarn Road were built in the Victorian period by local cloth manufacturer Roger Brown in memory of his wife. They are called Lady Brown's Almshouses after her.'

We toured the Gibbston Valley vineyards on a frosty morning, tasted award winning wines in the underground wine cave and savored cheeses at the on-site cheesery. Gibbston Valley Winery is an award winning winery (produces world-champion wine), centered in one of the world's most celebrated Pinot Noir producing regions. In the first photo below the winery guide is presenting one of their award winning wine.
