I’m amused that you call mathematicians regular people. Most mathematicians I have known have been interestingly weird.

Excellent night for atmospheric phenomena! Not just moondog and tangent arc, but also faint circumzenithal arc! First time for lunar cza for me!

It’s officially autumn and I’m roasting coffee. The shortening of the days is a little intimidating but the cooler weather is welcome. I mowed the lawn today in advance of the wet weather predicted for the weekend.

One of my favorite things I have seen this year was a Steller’s Jay trick the Merlin app into labeling it as a Red-tailed Hawk.

Are you sure that’s a bird? I’m pretty sure it’s a monster from a toddler’s crayon drawing. Also I love it.

I also have a picture of this picture from my recent visit. So fun!

I hear it’s #fossilfriday and we recently went to Florida, mostly to look for fossils. (Yep, got some shark teeth.) We did some beach combing in between scheduled activities and found these lovely little oysters.

Four small (1-2 cm) oyster fossils on a black fabric background. One has a barnacle, another has a clam and another half oyster shell on it.

I recently got back from vacation in Florida and I really enjoyed watching the dock pets. I’m more used to egrets being silent hunters than greedy beggars.

Two pilings at a dock; the near one has a great egret standing on it and the far one has a snowy egret. A great blue heron is standing in the water some distance away.

I’ve restarted roasting coffee again. Today is warm and cloudy, a nice day to be outside.

I offered to help my mom in the garden and managed to snag harvest duty.

I’m sitting here by the marsh. The tide is high and the egrets are standing around in the sun, preening. Earlier when it was low, the yellowlegs were running across the mud and eeping.

The air quality is currently described as “moderate” here.

These are about 70 million years old. The oyster is likely agerostera mesenterica. The brachiopod is likely choristothyris plicata.

Lenore Edman @1lenore.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Here are a few more views showing both sides of the shells. Our guides said these brachiopods are normally thicker. This one may have been compressed at some point.

I love museums! The Monmouth Museum hosted a fossil hunting trip yesterday and I had so much fun. Here are my two amazing finds, an oyster and a brachiopod.

Two fossils above a ruler on a desk. One is an oyster about 2.5 cm long with a distinctly curved shell and very ruffled edges. The second is a brachiopod about 1.5 cm across that looks similar to a scallop.

The sky is a wonderfully weird color, the fireflies are popping off, and the first drops of thunderstorm smell like petrichor. It’s pretty great!

This snowy egret did not mind us visiting its tidepools. I just love their hi viz feet.

I sent my dad some pictures of tidepool finds and he replied, “Those are pretty esoteric critters!”

Sometimes you find cool critters outside of the tidepools.

Can you find the tiny octopus? 😍 It's arm span is only about 20 mm, with a pea-sized body.

Y’all. There is nothing quite like seeing an octopus. This tidepooling trip is wildly successful.

We’re getting a good thunderstorm which is going to make weeding so much easier tomorrow! Also it smells so nice out right now. In other garden news, my mullein are starting to bloom!

When Luna wants to be brushed she chirps and leads me to her brushy spot. She loves it and sometimes even helps guide the brush where she wants it to go. I do a better job when I’m not holding a phone in the other hand though!

The beaver was not pleased we were there. It sounded an alarm with its tail and then swam parallel to the trail monitoring us until we were out of range. I’m a little sorry we upset it but it was magical to witness.

Lenore Edman @1lenore.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Yesterday we went for a walk after the volunteer dinner at Teatown Lake Reservation where I am a nature guide. We saw a beaver, a couple of great blue herons, a duck family, a turtle, fish, deer, a green frog, and so many wood frogs that we stopped counting. It was absolutely delightful.
