Spring’s first magic! 🌞💜 The crocuses are waking up, and so am I—helped along by the joy of unexpected sunshine and the triumph of finding coronation sauce sans devil’s dried bogies (sultanas). A perfect day, indeed! 🌱✨ #SpringVibes #CrocusJoy #SimplePleasures

A few more shots of the Artist Paint Pots area

Taken from the boardwalk leading up to the top of the feature. Down below are all the various mud pots each with it's own color representing the various minerals in the rock and soil. There's a hillside on the left and a little bit of the board walk on the right.

Photo of the sign near the Blood Geyser feature.

Blood Geyser
While the name of this geyser evokes imates of a guresome event the reality is much tamer. The high concentration of iron oxide in the parter precipitates out, staining the surrounding rocks a rich red. It has been busily erupting since it was first recorded in 1882. This geyser can erupt up to 6 feet and discharges about 150 gallons a minute.

This area of the feature is a great example of how the chemosynthesis going on produces an acid which dissolves the surrounding rock creating these beautiful pools and channels.
This photo was taken from the upper area of the board walk looking down onto the area below.

France in 2000, as envisaged in 1899. Some tech is wonderfully prescient: we've versions of Zoom, a vacuum cleaner, drone deliveries. Other visions less so, particularly those anticipating a life beneath the waves, of underwater croquet + whale buses... publicdomainreview.org/collection/a...

Scene in the classroom, students sat at wooden desk with devices attached to their heads with wires leading to a big machine into which books are being fed and a boy is cranking the handle

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

So I have seen the whole "medieval alewives are the archetype for the modern stereotypical witch depictions" thing going around.... again, and I thought I would do a bit of myth-busting. Grab a seat, this is a long one. #skystorians

One of the oldest extant illustrations to picture witches, dating to 1451 in Le Champion Des Dames. Features two women, one on a broom, the other appears to be on a pole of some kind.

Born #onthisday in 1809, Edgar Allan Poe. Many illustrators have tackled Poe's dark and macabre tales but perhaps none so hauntingly and brilliantly as Irish artist Harry Clarke. See his exquisite imagery for Poe's Tales of Mystery & Imagination: buff.ly/3qzOHiC #otd
