one side planted up - slowly but surely getting there. Good to get a bed filled and then plant out stuff in it before filling the next bed.

Look at the camera instead. A Red-winged Blackbird keeps watch over their nesting area, these birds nest in the reeds by the side of a lake, and the males keep watch for hawks from various vantage points along the shore, taking shifts. They're very cooperative, equally spaced out about 20 feet from each other, keeping watch right down the side of the lake.

Wandering around west Main on Christmas day. The Old Western Saloon was open. Prince Charles had a pint here once.
Camped out for an hour or so, looking for the albino jackrabbit once more. It turned up. It has two buddies which would have been much easier to photograph, I wonder does it sense that it contrasts more with its surroundings, it's so much more nervous, last to step forward, first to bolt.
Anyway, likely to be my last effort this summer. I don't have time to come back for quite a while. Something a bit magical about seeing it, I can see why so many myths and superstitions surround white offspring of any species, sadly so much being negative and hostile, because of the alleged "demon" eyes. The good news is that it seems to be accepted by the other rabbits in the group.
Visited the De Young yesterday. Always love watching people react to art.

Today is day 262 of Project 365
Spotted this guy looking through the window last night, casing the joint I guess. Please don't comment on the smudgy window.
Today is day 133 of Project 365 (Thursday).
This group of musicians played traditional music, drank beer and generally enjoyed themselves as they entertained pilgrims and tourists near Senso-Ji temple.
but getting close to it. Quite a few needing discarded as i picked them.
These are for roasting for use in pasta sauce
The Corrs & Bono - Summer Wine
Shy exploring one of the Crooked River tributaries yesterday. This is weather, he was made for. Still offline, be back later this week.
the Week is the spiral galaxy NGC 2566, which sits 76 million light-years away in the constellation Puppis. A prominent bar of stars stretches across the centre of this galaxy, and spiral arms emerge from each end of the bar. Because NGC 2566 appears tilted from our perspective, its disc takes on an almond shape, giving the galaxy the appearance of a cosmic eye.
As NGC 2566 gazes at us, astronomers gaze right back, using Hubble to survey the galaxy’s star clusters and star-forming regions. The Hubble data are especially valuable for studying stars that are just a few million years old; these stars are bright at the ultraviolet and visible wavelengths to which Hubble is sensitive. Using these data, researchers will measure the ages of NGC 2566’s stars, helping to piece together the timeline of the galaxy’s star formation and the exchange of gas between star-forming clouds and stars themselves.
Several other astronomical observatories have examined NGC 2566, including the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. The Webb data complement this Hubble image, adding a view of NGC 2566’s warm, glowing dust to Hubble’s stellar portrait. At the long-wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum, NGC 2566 has also been observed by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). ALMA is a network of 66 radio telescopes that work together as one to capture detailed images of the clouds of gas in which stars form. Together, Hubble, Webb and ALMA provide an overview of the formation, lives and deaths of stars in galaxies across the Universe.
[Image Description: An oval-shaped spiral galaxy. Its core is a compact, glowing blue spot. A bright bar of light, lined with dark reddish dust, extends horizontally to the edge of the disc. A spiral arm emerges from each end of the bar and follows the edge of the disc, lined with blue and red glowing patches of stars, to the opposite end and a little off the galaxy. Blue stars are scattered between us and the galaxy.]

Mum and Dad bring the youngsters out for scratch. A family of California Quail. The parents are pinted-sized to begin with, the chicks are tiny, just like mice.
They were naturally very protective, so this was taken from quite a distance.
The statue and the temple are real believe it or not. Its worth a visit if you happen to be in Karnataka and have time to kill or you're heading to the beach resort of Gokarna.
This is a composite of two shots. One exposed and processed for the sky and another for the main subject.

The rim of this ice-rich crater catches the early morning sunlight in the high northern latitudes of Mars, imaged by the CaSSIS camera onboard ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter on 26 October 2019.
This image features a simple 7 km-wide bowl-shaped crater pictured in the early morning. The sunlight falling on the ice deposits on the crater’s north-facing walls causes the ice to appear extremely bright. Ice fills much of the crater floor, and coats part of the surrounding terrain.
While the image was taken during the summer months, some shadowed regions receive fewer hours of sunlight on average throughout the year, so they trap permanent deposits of water ice.
The image is centred at 230.77ºE/73.95ºN. It was taken on 26 October 2019. The scale is indicated on the image.

A weekend paint job at the Square Deal Auto Repair in Pinole.Ithink the painter used the sky as his palette.
The flower pods form in whorls along the stems, creating a striking visual effect with their dark blue to violet blooms
Raspberry blackout cake. loads of home grown raspberries (red and yellow) in this cake!
And plum jam in the cake mix too.
In this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week, Hubble has once again lifted the veil on a famous — and frequently photographed — supernova remnant: the Veil Nebula. This nebula is the remnant of a star roughly 20 times as massive as the Sun that exploded about 10 000 years ago. Situated about 2400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, this photogenic nebula made an appearance as the Picture of the Week previously in 2021.
This view combines images taken in three different filters by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 instrument, highlighting emission from hydrogen, sulphur and oxygen atoms. This image shows just a small fraction of the Veil Nebula; if you could see the entire nebula without the aid of a telescope, it would be as wide as six full Moons placed side by side. Look in the sidebar of this page to see this image superimposed on its location in the sky, and try zooming out to compare the size of the full nebula!
Although this image captures the Veil Nebula at just a single point in time, it will help researchers understand how the supernova remnant has evolved over decades. Combining this snapshot with Hubble observations from 1994 will reveal the motion of individual knots and filaments of gas over that span of time, enhancing our understanding of this stunning nebula.
[Image Description: A colourful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. It is made of translucent clouds of gas: wispy and thin with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red and yellow colours mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Bright and pointlike stars are scattered across the nebula. The background is black.]
