Almost missed #nationalpuppyday! #spay and #neuter, folks. These eight were born to a stray mom in a parking lot, and rescued at a day old, just before their shelter was buried. Happy they all survived, but seven are still waiting for homes. #dogs #adoptdontshop #rescue

A small dog lies in blankets, nursing eight very tiny babies. The babies are a few days old. Mom looks tired.

I spend all summer gazing at these power lines; I can barely make out the copper patina against the BlueSky. Biggest snow fall in the backyard this year.

A view from below: fresh snow collected by wire grate ~ the BlueSky barely visible.

Rudy Burkhardt “Telephone Wires” 1940

You are looking at a black and white photograph taken in 1940 by the artist Rudy Burkhardt, entitled “Telephone Wires.”

Your view is down a street with a few flat-bed delivery trucks and low-rise buildings off in the distance.

A towering, blank white wall, with contrasting brick detailing at the corner occupies the front half of the picture.

All this while the multitude of of power lines and telephone wires criss-cross back and forth, casting shadows.

What an amazing new-to-me discovery! Thanks for sharing. Spent a little time over on his website ~ some great paintings for sure... Veiled, oil on linen, 45 x 50cm, 2012 [a quick shout-out to Raffaelo Monti....his Veiled works are absolutely beautiful.]

"With the painted objects frontally lit, the transition from clarity to obscurity within this picture is also a journey from surface into depth, drawing us from the superficially self-evident towards unfathomable darkness. The bags are painted quite texturally with crisply impasted lights and something like a physical approximation of the thin plastic. What's in the bags is barely indicated, but because the surface of the bag and the effect of light transmitted through it is so truthful, I think the viewer will tend to accept it as a convincing token of the riches contained within."

Egg Nebula by Hubble. Processed by @Tho_Carp www.flickr.com/photos/19746... 🔭 🧪

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the Egg Nebula (also known as CRL 2688), a preplanetary nebula with a distinct, bipolar structure. The image is dominated by a bright central region, shaped like an elongated hourglass or butterfly, with luminous arcs and knots emanating outward. These structures are created by the high-speed stellar winds and jets ejected by the dying star at the nebula's center. The object glows with a cool orange and white hue, speckled with bright points of light that are likely background stars and dense knots within the nebula. Dark, dusty lanes are interspersed within the glowing regions, adding a stark contrast to the intricate and dynamic structure of the nebula. The entire scene is set against the black backdrop of space, emphasizing the isolation and brilliance of the nebula.

LEDA 1313424, aptly nicknamed the Bullseye, is two and a half times the size of our Milky Way and has nine rings — six more than any other known galaxy. High-resolution imagery from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope confirmed eight rings, and data from the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii confirmed a ninth. Hubble and Keck also confirmed which galaxy dove through the Bullseye, creating these rings: the blue dwarf galaxy that sits to its immediate center-left.

Designers, dedicate the first and best hours of your day to yourself. Too often, I see designers putting themselves last, giving their side projects only the leftover energy after a full day of work. Begin each day by working on your dream. This small commitment will transform your life.

A quick pic of an older b&w, full frame print and a pencil drawing. #BlueskyArtShow #Blur

Black & white photograph looking out a window at night, above a road in an urban setting. A car, and its headlights, is captured during the long exposure creating a blurred streak of white light. Bright lights, from the building across the street are reflected in the wet pavement.

White string lights, from within the apartment are reflected in the window as is the video of Jesco White; “The Dancing Outlaw.”

A graphite pencil drawing of two shadows on off-white paper.

Two shadows are visible; one cast from a far light source ~ creating the diffuse shadow, and a second, distant light source creating the sharp-edged shadow.

The position of the paper does not change, just the light sources.

A man in Indiana made an AT-AT costume for his horse, intending to only get a few pictures before removing it. When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume

Today in wildlife success stories Buffalo were once down to just a few dozen animals. The park service did a fantastic job and now we have a herd of about 6000. Likely one of the most iconic species, our own ignorance nearly wiped them out but today, thanks to the USNPS they're still here.
