Isn't that what some wrinkles are called? This tulip, even though it hasn't much life left, still has a lot of beauty, in my mind. The wrinkles give it so much more character ;)

(Falco Tinnunculus) Portland Bill in Dorset, UK has no trees and is quite remote in it's location hence the local kestrels only have man made objects to perch on such as this fancy (sharp)! fence topping around the MoD Magnetic Field Testing Site. The site was chosen during the 1960s for magnetic measurement of sensitive equipment such as binnacles and magnetic compasses. As Portland stone is non-magnetic, as well as the site's remoteness, the site is free from any magnetic disturbance such as heavy traffic, and as a result, very small magnetic fields from equipment can be measured with a very high degree of accuracy.

Athabasca glacier.

In the past 125 years this glacier has lost over half of its volume and every year its depth decreases by 5 meters. The glacier is approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) long and is measured to be between 90–300 metres (300–980 ft) thick.

About 10,000 years ago, a bright new star appeared in the stellar firmament on a place that we now consider part of the constellation Cygnus (the Swan). It shined brilliantly for a few weeks before becoming so dim again to be invisible to human vision. Astronomers have calculated its position and age by studying the light reaching us from an extended filamentary cloud of interstellar gas known as the Veil Nebula. It is catalogued as entry 6960 in the New General Catalogue of Deep Sky Objects and classified as a supernova remnant, the expanding debris from the exploded star, plowing through interstellar matter and exciting hydrogen (red color) and oxygen atoms (blue - green) to make them glow. The distance to this object is not accurately measured but is about 1,500 light years away.

The Veil nebula is an extended object and consists of different parts, each catalogued with a different name. This image was shot with a small refractor telescope and a DSLR camera and depicts the Western part of the nebulosity, which is often referred to as the Witch's Broom nebula, the Filamentary nebula or the Lace-Work nebula.

The bright star at center is 52 Cygni, which is unrelated to the nebula itself since it is located much closer to the Earth, at about 200 light years. It is therefore a foreground star, just as all the other visible stars of our Milky Way Galaxy. The spikes by the way are an artifact, usually produced by images of reflector telescopes, but in this case digitally added with computer software for aesthetic reasons.

Thanks to everyone for viewing - clear skies!

This is a highly personal photo. A real life relative of mine is dying of cancer. Her life expectancy is measured in days. She is dying of the exact same cancer that stole away my father in 2001. I'm stoic. If she has to go, I hope it's quickly and she doesn't suffer much longer.

This relative has three advanced degrees and taught the deaf for most of her working life. She started a choir for the hearing impaired. One of the songs they did was "One Voice" by Barry Manilow.

The sign I'm attempting to convey is the sign in ASL for voice. The song is very old and hokey but my relative was a huge fan of Barry Manilow and John Denver. I'll never hear it again without hearing her voice singing sweetly in the car on road trips.

Life is not fair. Cancer sucks.

Thoughts and prayers for her to have a peaceful journey to the afterlife would be most appreciated.

Just one voice

Singing in the darkness

All it takes is one voice

Singing so they hear what's on your mind

And when you look around you'll find

There's more than one voice

Singing in the darkness

Joining with your one voice

Each and every note or another octave

Hands are joined and fears unlocked

Pose and Photo by me

It was taken on the northwestern edge of Spitsbergen, in the Svalbard archipelago, not far from the receding snout of the Aavatsmarkbreen glacier — a place where the Arctic breathes in whispers and fractures. The date was late August, the season of deceptive warmth when the midnight sun hovers low and the ice begins to bleed.

The formation in the photograph is not solid rock, as some might think at first glance, but the collapsed mouth of a subglacial tunnel, formed by meltwater carving through the glacier’s underbelly. Years of pressure and refreezing sculpted those contoured ridges — layers of ancient snowfall compressed into dense, cerulean ice. The faint cyan glow inside the cave isn’t artificial; it’s scattered light refracting through air bubbles trapped millennia ago when mammoths still roamed the Siberian steppe.

The air inside smells faintly metallic, like cold iron and salt. It’s utterly still, except for the slow, rhythmic crack of thawing ice — a sound like distant gunfire, echoing across the bay. On calm days, the sea around the ice gate mirrors the sky in a sheet of mercury grey. On others, the wind funnels through the arch, producing a low hum, as if the glacier itself were exhaling.

Scientists who mapped this region in 2023 used drones to capture melt patterns here. They found that the ice retreated 37 meters in just two years — a rate almost double that of the previous decade. Beneath this particular overhang, water temperatures measured 1.4°C above the long-term average, enough to weaken the internal structure. Within a few seasons, this cathedral of ice will collapse into the fjord and drift into oblivion, another silent casualty of warming currents from the West Spitsbergen Current, which brings Atlantic heat ever closer to the pole.

The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest bird in the world and the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. According to one study, it has the fastest visual processing speed of any animal tested so far, and can register discrete changes up to 129 Hz or cycles per second. As an analogy, film is a series of still images projected onto a screen. Those still images need to be changing at roughly 25 frames per second before humans see them as fluid and no longer as individual, discrete pictures. The film would have to be refreshing at 129 frames per second before peregrine falcons stopped seeing flashing, still images and started seeing fluid motion. 16022

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,

And measured the heavens with a span,

And calculated the dust of the earth with a measure,

And weighed the mountains in a balance

And the hills in a pair of scales?

Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD,

Or as His counselor has informed Him?

Common Blue Butterfly:-

Living up to its name, this butterfly is the commonest blue found in the British Isles. While the male has bright blue uppersides, the female is primarily brown, with a highly variable amount of blue. This is the most widespread Lycaenid found in the British Isles and can be found almost anywhere, including Orkney. It is absent, however, from Shetland and the mountainous areas of Wales and Scotland. This butterfly forms reasonably discrete colonies measured in tens or hundreds, with individuals occasionally wandering some distance.

Ok, check it out

frozen in space,

two,

distance measured,

grown.

the sun sinks into the sea,

the shadows spread,

backlit aura defines me,

a rivulet of cool air brushes past my face,

stirring, just, the hair around my temple,

the current flows,

the clouds fly home to roost,

the edge of the earth,

of everything i know,

is just there.

the water is warm.

At over 3 miles (5 km) in width, the glacier boasts not only an impressive height of 240 feet (about 74 meters) above the surface of Lago Argentino (Argentino Lake), but also reaches a total depth of 170 meters (558 feet) below the water’s surface.. The glacier covers an area of 97 square miles (250 sq. km) across a 19-mile stretch (30 km) of vast expanse, with the greatest depth measured at 2,297 feet (700 meters). A ship which cruises with tourist can be seen on the right side of image if you zoom in. This ship carries over 100 people give you a perspective how huge these glaciers are.

The poet T. S. Eliot made part of that sentence famous, but he actually wrote,

"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons."

My husband uses tea bags, and began to collect them for me. Hasn’t it been one helluva year? And it isn't over yet.

But I've discovered some surprising small and good things as we’ve sheltered...about him, about pleasure in one decent photo, the joy of an unexpected text.

And you?
