Dot now knows how and when the first humans reached the Americas. “And when did the house cats get here?” asks Dot.
This is blurry, but too cute not to share. I have been doing some studying at the kitchen table (easier to sit at for reading & note-taking), but Ben does his best to keep things light. This poor butterfly has seen better days, but we still love tossing it around!

When people ask me what I am doing today, I say "studying." Little do they know what my "studying" is.
I edited this sometime between 12-5am today. Was bored, wide awake, feeling creative, tried some new editing techniques.
Had a great time this day, got tons of awesome photos.
Best viewed large.
Oh my, it's Monday already, 2 more exams this Friday and I'm free! Took this during my study break today, nothing special just a longer exposure in my room with all the lights off. Isn't my wallpaper nice and festive? Anyhow, back to studying! ;D
This image is part of the f20-12 exhibition at the Strand Gallery in London, as shown here. It was reviewed "by the Guardian's Camera Club: "Study' is an oddly disturbing portrait, the colours and the map like veins combining to make an almost unidentifiable image"
This Leica IIIf "Black Dial" camera, along with the close-focusing adapter and 50mm f/2 Summitar were purchased in 1951. That's the same year that this Twelfth Edition of The Leica Manual was published.
Here's something a bit different. I don't usually do flower studies (apart from occasional wild flowers). However my wife had been given a bouquet and I was at a loose end, so here is a closeup of one of the flowers. I have no idea what it is but the colours are attractive.

Not to mention - dreary and depressing.
Yeah... this is pretty much how I feel right now....
Study nature,
love nature,
stay close to nature.

Some of the wonderful scenery we encountered on our last summer fling on our hike around Roman Nose Lake before school started. Just after I shot this shot, I heard the hikers a ways behind us call out that there was a moose drinking out of the lake (between us and them). We had just missed her, but she caused us to have to make our own trail on around the lake to get back to where we started. The scenery was beautiful, but making trails through the buck brush was not an easy task. I've included a photo of the moose in the comments.
I hope everyone has a great conclusion to the week. HCS

Clockwise from top: ESA’s Matthias Maurer, Lina Tomelleri, Giorgio Tomelleri, Anna Maria Fioretti from the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources (IGG), an institute of National Research Council of Italy, and ESA astronauts Pedro Duque and Luca Parmitano.
The group are posing with meteorites during the Pangaea course that is teaching astronauts how to identify interesting rock samples, as well as assess the most likely places to find traces of life on other planets.
The group are now in Bressanone, Italy, learning the theory of how planets formed, followed by field trips to apply their knowledge.
The course is organised together with the Centre of Studies and Activities for Space at the University of Padova, Italy.
Follow the course on Twitter via @ESA_CAVES or with hashtag #Pangaea, on Flickr and on the blog .
The second part of the course will start in October on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain.

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.
Looks like Henry is studying his spelling words.
