Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

Deborah Sandidge Photography "A Great Blue Heron reaches toward the sky in a display that’s part of an ancient mesmerizing ritual to attract a mate. The deep bow and skyward stretch is a beautiful hypnotic gesture that I look forward to filming each year."

A #barredowl gets chased off by a #mockingbird just a few minutes ago in my yard. The mockingbird is the flash of white just below the crook of the next higher branch in the first picture. #birds 🪶🪶

One of my favorites of #blackbelliedwhistlingducks. At dusk they fly overhead in my neighborhood in small groups chatting with their whistles as they settle into the trees. Sometimes they talk for hours, like teenagers.

There are many photogenic birds out there but the Lilac-breasted Roller is one of my favorites. I call them "Damn Birds" because it seems like every time I get one in focus, they fly away and I go "damn!" 😆 But once in awhile, they stand still! #BirdOfTheDay #Photogenic #birds #nature #photography

So excited! A lifer today for me: 5 long-eared owls perched in a neighbour's garden! I am so happy😍😍 [Taken with an Iphone at distance, to avoid disturbance].🪶
Photo of two tree trunks with ivy, in between which an owl is perched on a branch, showing its breast plumage of dark brown striated pattern over sandy feathers, and two ear tufts.

No words to describe the experience of seeing an overhead corona aurora at THE SAME TIME as a total lunar eclipse--this happened last night on our aurora workshop. Crazy experience. The aurora was so bright and the snow glowed green under the blood moon.

We visited some of the Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show while in #Tucson. It was a sight to behold, with some stones weighing thousands of kilograms on display. There were entire dinosaurs. And of course gemstones cut for jewelry and rough for lapidary. Amazing! I loved this one. #gemstones #minerals

#Greetings! I asked Siri for traditional Christmas music, thinking I’d get something like Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, White Christmas, that sort. I got Wham, #LastChristmas right off the bat 😬. I’m scared to ask for contemporary… I hope all enjoy whichever version of this #season is for you.

Sometimes Samuel likes to sit on the kitchen window ledge and look in, observing us as if we were strangers. He doesn’t want to come in. He just wants this vantage point. I guess it’s the closest he’s ever going to get to being allowed up on a counter.🤣#cats #notblackfriday.
