This is indeed another pretty Xinjiang woman who just happened to walk past us. Too bad I couldn't get her face this time. You'll have to trust me on that then... :-)

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and you all enjoy your free time. I'm learning and doing university preparations all the time at the moment. The last exams for my studies are upcoming and it really stresses me out. I will be so happy when this is over.
Nonetheless, I have another shot for you out there. This is a shot I took in the botanical garden of my university. One of my favourite spots to go to. Especially in summer with all the gorgeous plants flowering and insects flying around. So this is also a throwback to summer kind of photo. I hope you like the reduced look with lots of green tones. :)

Feel free to also visit me on Instagram, where I upload a photo mostly every day and give you more insights into my life (www.instagram.com/meepeachii).
The adults reach 6–9 millimetres (0.24–0.35 in) of length, but the females are quite larger than the males. Adult leafhoppers can mostly be encountered from July through October in wet meadows, near marshes or in swampy habitats, but sometimes live also in drier areas.
Their pronotum is green and yellow. The front head is pale yellow, with two black spots near the compound eyes. The forewings are turquoise green in the females, blue or dark bluish in males (sexual dimorphism).
They are polyphagous, feeding on the sap of various species of herbaceous plants, mainly Juncus (Juncaceae sp.), Carex (Cyperaceae sp.), Holcus (Poaceae sp.) and Fabaceae species.
Cicadella viridis, nymph
The larvae are yellowish and have two brownish stripes running from head to the end of the abdomen. Cicadella viridis may have one or more generations per year. This species overwinters in the egg stage.
The bright northern lights invaded the sky as the moon was setting near Kugluktuk, Nunavut in March.

Last July, the Webb telescope released its very first image: the deepest and sharpest image ever seen. Zooming in on the data, scientists found 3 young, distant galaxies similar to rare, small galaxies called “green peas” in our cosmic backyard. Because the light has traveled so far to get to us, we’re seeing these 3 galaxies as they were up to 13.1 billion years ago.
Specifically, the galactic trio share chemical characteristics — oxygen, hydrogen, and neon signatures — with “green pea” galaxies. (“Green peas” resembled green dots in their discovery images.) Due to their similarities, researchers may be able to study nearby “green peas” in detail to learn more about distant early galaxies.
While Webb’s infrared vision is incredibly sensitive, in this case Webb had some help from space’s “magnifying glass.” The effect of gravitational lensing meant that the mass of the galaxy cluster in Webb’s image actually magnified these tiny, distant galaxies by up to 10 times.
The farthest of the 3 galaxies contains only 2% the oxygen found in a galaxy like ours. This suggests the galaxy is extremely young, as it contains very few heavy elements (like oxygen) recycled from earlier stars. Learn more: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/nasa-s-webb-telescope-r...
In this image: The James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph captured the chemical fingerprints of selected galaxies behind SMACS 0723, including three faint, distant objects. When corrected for the wavelength stretch caused by the expansion of space over billions of years, the spectra of these galaxies (shown in red) exhibit features emitted by oxygen, hydrogen, and neon that show a stunning resemblance to those seen from so-called green pea galaxies found nearby (in green). Additionally, the Webb observations made it possible to measure the amount of oxygen in these cosmic dawn galaxies for the first time. The spectral lines have been stretched vertically in order to clarify these relationships.

Image description: Two different sets of spectral data, comparing the chemical fingerprints of green pea galaxies with young, distant galaxies observed by the Webb telescope. On the top is the green pea galaxies data, shown in two squiggly horizontal lines of bright green, and below that is the Webb data, shown in three lines of red. The data sets share remarkably similar line patterns representing the elemental signatures of oxygen, neon, and hydrogen. From left to right, both data sets generally start off with a high frequency of peaks and dips, which gradually taper out into just occasional peaks by the end.
Got this custom minifig a few days ago, wasn't entirely sure what to do with him so just played around with lighting him, I wanted it to look as though the light was purley emanating from the gun.
I get these green 3 x 5 cards at work. I’m the last one to get them and they usually go into the trash. I’ve re-purposed a lot of them for Post-it notes and sketches like this. Plan on number two pencil on 3 x 5 green card stock.
#6 in my series FREEDOM GREEN for the Iranian flickr community and the people of Iran. A friend in Iran asked me to dedicate this photo as follows:
“I hope this will be a green movement in every aspect of life, not just political. Please dedicate this to all the young and old, men and women of Iran who fight for freedom by bravely standing in the streets in opposition to the shameless, horrible guards and hardliners. What people in Iran really want is peace, freedom, truth, wisdom and a better future.”
My friend also provided the following poem by the 12th century Iranian poet, Saadi:
The Children of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.
Photograph: In Iran, the garden is a sanctuary - a place for relaxation, contemplation, and enjoyment of nature and all things green. In desert towns, water for maintaining the garden and for use in the home, was supplied by an ingenious system of underground water tunnels (qanats) that transported water from the higher mountains to the dessert floor. Smaller viaducts would run off from such tunnels and supply individual homes and their gardens with water. The stream of water is often a decorative focus in the garden. This photograph, taken in a lovely hotel in Yazd Iran, depicts many elements of the Persian garden - water, fountains, trees and roses. The english word paradise derives from the Persian word for garden.
