I checked on my favorite belted #kingfisher and he's still there 2 months later. Same tree, just facing the other direction. Rocking the punk hair gloriously. Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 4-Oct-2024 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Brace yourself for this one: Black holes the size of an atom (!) that contain the mass of an asteroid (!!) may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade (!!!) and could explain dark matter (!!!!) and if one flies by the moon or Mars, we should be able to detect them (!!!!!) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dark-matter-black-holes-could-fly-through-the-solar-system-once-a-decade/
The water was still enough to see an incredible wave extend in front the beaver’s head. I’ve seen beaver many times but never in such still water and at such a low angle to capture just how far the wave trough is in front of the beaver. What a way to kick off fall in Northern Nevada! #nevada #WildlifePhotography #truckee

I know it looks like some heavy photoshop, but if you expose for the brilliant white of the Egrets the shadows of a small cove in the reeds become a black hole….
I spent yesterday chasing a pair of Roseate Spoonbill that somehow ended up in northern Nevada and got some good shots, but the egrets stole the show. 🤷♂️😆 #BirdPhotography #nevada
A beautiful abandoned spa in Georgia (the country)

There are places on Skye which do not attract vast numbers of tourists but which offer a quieter, less busy experience. If you are good at map reading and have a guide book it isn’t to difficult to find them. The main thing, as with every place you visit, is to give yourself enough time to visit the star attractions as well as to find the places that are off the beaten track. A quiet welcome awaits you…
