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."

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.

Every time I see something like this it reinforces my decision to leave Meta over a year ago. I miss seeing my friends and some of the folks I followed on IG. But if everyone left, we’d have somewhere comparable by now instead of people just fussing about it and failing to with their feet.

Yes, it occurred to me that wasn’t because of his behavior with under age children, but because of something financial/ government security related. But it was still because of the Epstein files and it’s a start..

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

The USA as a nation has malignant narcissistic behavior. It has been there for a long time AEB by Americans being affronted by a store in a FOREIGN COUNTRY having the temerity to not have English speaking staff. I witnessed this. I’ve sought to be a counter. Apparently we will learn the hard way.
