I was crossing Ignacio Creek on a footbridge this morning and saw these eyes looking up!. It's literally standing in the water!
Today is day 164 of Project 365 (Sunday).
In photography, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky.

Pallas-Athene-Brunnen/Athena Fountain - Austrian Parliament, Vienna, Austria 2014..... At the entrance of Austrian Parliament building, is the 5,5 m high statue of Pallas Athene which stands in the middle of a large fountain. The sculptor Carl Kundmann created the statue according to the plans from architect Hansen.
The goddess of wisdom Pallas Athene holds in her right hand a small figure of Nike the goddess of victory and in her left hand a spear. www.city-walks.info/Vienna/Parliament.html
Desperately wishing I had cold feet right now, or even to get a cold shoulder would be nice. It's been over a week since my escape to the cold, and it's been too long.
Just in time for the festive season, this new Picture of the Week from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features a glistening scene in holiday red. This image shows a small region of the well-known nebula Westerhout 5, which lies about 7000 light-years from Earth. Suffused with bright red light, this luminous image hosts a variety of interesting features, including a free-floating Evaporating Gaseous Globule (frEGG). The frEGG in this image is the small tadpole-shaped dark region in the upper centre-left. This buoyant-looking bubble is lumbered with two rather uninspiring names — [KAG2008] globule 13 and J025838.6+604259.
FrEGGs are a particular class of Evaporating Gaseous Globules (EGGs). Both frEGGs and EGGs are regions of gas that are sufficiently dense that they photoevaporate less easily than the less compact gas surrounding them. Photoevaporation occurs when gas is ionised and dispersed away by an intense source of radiation — typically young, hot stars releasing vast amounts of ultraviolet light. EGGs were only identified fairly recently, most notably at the tips of the Pillars of Creation, which were captured by Hubble in iconic images released in 1995. FrEGGs were classified even more recently, and are distinguished from EGGs by being detached and having a distinct ‘head-tail’ shape. FrEGGs and EGGs are of particular interest because their density makes it more difficult for intense UV radiation, found in regions rich in young stars, to penetrate them. Their relative opacity means that the gas within them is protected from ionisation and photoevaporation. This is thought to be important for the formation of protostars, and it is predicted that many FrEGGs and EGGs will play host to the birth of new stars.
The frEGG in this image is a dark spot in the sea of red light. The red colour is caused by a particular type of light emission known as H-alpha emission. This occurs when a very energetic electron within a hydrogen atom loses a set amount of its energy, causing the electron to become less energetic and this distinctive red light to be released.
[Image description: The background is filled with bright orange-red clouds of varying density. Towards the top-left several large, pale blue stars with prominent cross-shaped spikes are scattered. A small, tadpole-shaped dark patch floats near one of these stars. More of the same dark, dense gas fills the lower-right, resembling black smoke. A bright yellow star and a smaller blue star shine in front of this.]

Since the Golden gate bridge opened in 1937, somone has jumped from it every two weeks on average. Out of nearly 2,000 attempts only 28 have failed. In a year, 1.7 million men and 0.4 million women kill themselves. Did we as a society push them? Was their life a gloomy Sunday? Or is this the natural order of life?
Jazz was her zen.

Two merging galaxies in the VV689 system — nicknamed the Angel Wing —feature in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike chance alignments of galaxies which only appear to overlap as seen from our vantage point on Earth, the two galaxies in VV689 are in the midst of a collision. The galactic interaction has left the VV689 system almost completely symmetrical, giving the impression of a vast set of galactic wings.
This angelic image comes from a set of Hubble observations inspecting the highlights of the Galaxy Zoo citizen science project. This crowdsourced astronomy project relied on hundreds of thousands of volunteers to classify galaxies and help astronomers wade through a deluge of data from robotic telescopes. In the process, volunteers discovered a rogues’ gallery of weird and wonderful galaxy types, some of which had not previously been studied. A similar, ongoing project called Radio Galaxy Zoo is using the same crowdsourcing approach to locate supermassive black holes in distant galaxies.
Noteworthy objects from both projects were chosen for detailed follow-up observations with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. In keeping with the crowdsourced nature of the Galaxy Zoo project, the targets for follow-up observations with Hubble were chosen via roughly 18 000 votes cast by the public. The selected targets include ring-shaped galaxies, unusual spirals, and a striking selection of galaxy mergers such as VV689.

The mass of dust and bright swirls of stars in this image are the distant galaxy merger IC 2431, which lies 681 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Cancer. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured what appears to be a triple galaxy merger in progress, as well as a tumultuous mixture of star formation and tidal distortions caused by the gravitational interactions of this galactic trio. The centre of this image is obscured by a thick cloud of dust — though light from a background galaxy can be seen piercing its outer extremities.
This image is from a series of Hubble observations investigating weird and wonderful galaxies found by the Galaxy Zoo citizen science project. Using Hubble’s powerful Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), astronomers took a closer look at some of the more unusual galaxies that volunteers had identified. The original Galaxy Zoo project was the largest galaxy census ever carried out, and relied on crowdsourcing time from more than 100 000 volunteers to classify 900 000 unexamined galaxies. The project achieved what would have been years of work for a professional astronomer in only 175 days, and has led to a steady stream of similar astronomical citizen science projects. Later Galaxy Zoo projects have included the largest ever studies of galaxy mergers and tidal dwarf galaxies, as well as the discovery of entirely new types of compact star-forming galaxies.

This is a shot from my descent down from the Matterhorn. From this high up, it truly is a birds eye view of the valley below. Again, it's another shot from a week or two ago. I'm back in California now.
cattle, with their typical mouth-to-the-ground pose
a beef steer on average eats about 12kg of grass per day
....that's why they are nearly always eating.
Most of us humans (certainly us folks on Flickr that live in rich countries) have a much easier time finding calories ...for work rest and play ...and so we tend to look up more often than cattle.

Another shot of the Lake Berryessa Glory Hole. My timing sucked, with the hole-side of the valley in shadow.
Other pic here, which gives a better sense of scale. Link. The drop is over 200 feet, over 60 meters straight down, the diameter is 72 feet or about 22 meters. Somebody has of course fallen in, and needless to say, perished.
Lake Berryessa is artificial, a flooded valley. Somewhere deep under there was once the town of Monticello. As well as forcibly moving the residents, they also moved a cemetery, which was relocated to the banks for the lake.
Today is day 276 of Project 365
This is a Blue Dasher, I think I read somewhere, the most common dragonfly in North America. They love slow moving water and so, no surprise they were in abundance on the bayous of Louisiana.
One for Macro Monday.
Usual early Saturday walk at Morecambe in these Covid-times.

These charming birds are not only known for their love of fruit, but they also have a unique social behavior during mating. During courtship, Cedar Waxwings perform a special dance and exchange small gifts like flower petals or insects. If the female is interested, she’ll dance back, and they may even rub their beaks together affectionately.
Toyon is rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which have antioxidant effects. These compounds help combat oxidative stress and may protect cells from damage.
An astonishing moment, I was standing still under a tree, and then had an egret walk right up beside me, stare at me for a bit and then walk on past.
The branches are a lot barer after our wind and rain. This is one of our deciduous oak trees, with evergreen oaks behind to both the left and right.
Today is day 145 of Project 365 (Tuesday).
