This is a plant called Old Man's Beard. It's growing on the fence in my backyard. During editing, I flipped the photo upside, turned the green plant blue, and made everything else black and white.

Der #Meermittwoch erinnert mich immer daran, warum man sich diesen täglichen Stress/Wahnsinn antut. 😅
Auf den nächsten Urlaub! 🍷

a bunch of my friends are choosing between PhD programs. here's my advise to them:

it is FAR more important to work with someone who is kind, than someone who does exactly the research you want to do or is at a prestigious institution.

A man named Bruno Schröder, was a mining engineer for most of his life. When passed away in his 80s in June 2022, he had around 60,000 or so books spread out on the 4 floors of his house in Mettingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The books likely weigh about the same as 15 modern cars. 📚

Known as "The Negro National Anthem," Lift Every Voice and Sing was composed in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938), a leader of the NAACP. His brother John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954) provided the musical arrangement for the words.

This day in history. 1846. Mormon leader Brigham Young led his followers into the west where a man was free to believe any bogus nutbaggery he so chose.

These sad yellow roses were about to be thrown out. Stop, I said. I can turn those into art 🤣https://anne-haile.pixels.com/featured/forgotten-yellow-roses-anne-haile.html #ayearforart

I’ve been away for a bit, but -25c with windchill of -41c is the sort of experience that needs sharing, along with a couple of photos I (very quickly) took outside while feeling the liquid in my nostrils start to freeze! 😳

I made this photo on a riverbank. I found some charcoal and started to draw faces on pebbles resulting in this black white image. #blackwhite #photography #nature #charcoal #faces #AYearForArt #pebbles #riverbank #contrast #funny

Mount Rainier from Naches Peak Loop. There's a great trail over here. The first time, we started off on a deer trail inadvertently and it took a while for the trail to disappear before we realized had started in the wrong spot. Ha. This area has been so crowded the last couple of times I've been -since the COVID crowds at the National Parks.

Has anyone ever been to the Pumpkin Run car show in South Jersey. The junkyard alone is a treasure trove of abandoned cars and set ups like this one along with the thousands of cars that come for the actual show! Its a photographer's dream!

The value of peace! May it be a peaceful day to all! I captured this at the lake with my macro lens instead of always pulling out the wide angle. Enjoy!

A beautiful female northern cardinal foraging in the leaves.

I don't often get sharp photos of the female so I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Finally got the sun to illuminate the blooms. Love that glow!

We had sun today, but there's a 45kt gale coming on Sunday, so goodbye sun for next week. It's rain/snow/rain/snow for the foreseeable future.

How low can that Low go?
