Caught some magic last night while walking our Maicie around the neighborhood. It was some urban beautiful!!
She's almost 20 years old and she still glows. Love the translucency of her skin and of course, that peaceful look.
Taken at Sanibel Island (Ding Darling), Florida. This White Ibis flew overhead and was backlight enough that you can see the bone structure through the wings.

I took an afternoon walk at a local lake, and was serenaded by these common meadow katydids. The afternoon sun turned this male into a living emerald. =)
Really worth seeing Large On Black
You might remember the Southern Ring Nebula was one of the first images released from Webb. Webb saw two stars within the nebula: 1) the dying star that created the nebula by blowing off its layers, and 2) a companion that orbits it. But now, after carefully studying Webb data, scientists believe that there may be more hidden companions that have helped shape the gas and dust of this nebula, potentially a total of 5 stars!
Here, the first panel highlights thicker, curvier wisps at the edges of the nebula, while the second panel highlights straight lines. Researchers project that the latter may have been shot out hundreds of years earlier and at greater speeds than the shorter, curly lines.

[Image description: The Southern Ring Nebula is shown at left with two large boxes overlaid. The first highlights a portion of the image toward the left side, which appears larger at the top right panel. The second highlights an area at bottom right, which is shown larger at the bottom right panel. The left portion of the image shows a large translucent pink-and-red irregular oval that surrounds a central blue star. The area that surrounds the stars is a mix of semi-translucent white and pink colors, forming a rough oval that’s white. Beyond that white oval are wavy lines and patterns that extend all around the planetary nebula’s edges. The first panel highlights shorter green spokes that look fluffy and less line-like. The second panel shows pink in the top left, but lots of straight, semi-transparent green lines extending to the bottom right.]

This weeks pic for photochallenge. I took this pic this afternoon in Williamstown. I decided to do the bird in B&W as it looked much better than the coloured version. We looked like a couple of nutters getting the bird shots, Steve was waving around a bag of hot donuts and I'm yelling at him to keep going lol
