This is a cool looking Oak tree, it looks like something out if a horror movie. Lots of moss covering and more hanging from the branches. With the sun coming through.

A couple recent #meteor captures (with crops) from Crestone, Colorado USA #astronomy #astrophotography
October 5, 2025 at 2:42am MDT

A meteor streaks down towards the horizon on the right side of the frame. Aspens and cottonwoods on the horizon are turning yellow/orange are illuminated under a waxing gibbous moon that hangs high, just left of center. Most of the foreground is grass and chamisa, brown with little bits of green.October 5, 2025 at 2:42am MDT

Crop of previous frame showing meteor detail. The tail is faint pink, the main body a whitish-green.

A meteor streaks downward in the center of the frame, disappearing behind the ridgeline of the Rocky Mountains. There are stars visible in the sky which is tinged blue, illuminated by the waxing gibbous moon. The meteor has a fainter pink/purple tail that abruptly shifts brighter, halfway through the streak. The foreground is mostly brown grasses and chamisa.October 3, 2025 at 1:57am MDT

So it’s back to me to host #BirdOfTheDay and I’m thinking Ministry of Silly #Walks so basically any bird walking. The alternative is #photobomb when a bird flys or walks into shot. I’ve captioned this 👇“When you tell a teenager to do anything.” 😁 Good luck!! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A small sanderling bird with pale white plumage and mottled grey and brown markings scurries briskly across a wet sandy shore. Its slender black legs are mid-stride, reflecting lightly in the shallow water, while its pointed black bill faces forward as if in determined motion.

Have you ever been tidepooling? Flat on your belly, face inches from the water at low tide, watching the comings and goings of a thousand tiny lives? It’s hard not to feel both wonder and a deep, quiet kind of peace. Some reflections on pausing to notice, and what it gives back. 🧵👇 #OceanHoptimism

In every feminist speech, march, and protest, one face is missing: Inbar Hayman’s. Kidnapped from Nova, she was later murdered in captivity by Hamas. Her killers are still keeping her body. She’s the last female hostage in Gaza. Say her name. Show her face. Bring Inbar home.

The NYC Mayor situation is difficult because anyone who's able to mobilize voters for the Democratic Party is obviously good for the country because we need to win. At the same time, it is disturbing to see people act like there aren't very real reasons to be disturbed by his rhetoric re: Jews

Jacob @jacob-92.bsky.social · 29/06/2025
So only about 1 million people voted in the NYC Mayor Primary, a city of 8 million. That's a lot of people but still pretty low when you think about, most people are apathetic.

A massive cluster of galaxies imaged for the Frontier Fields program. I couldn't bear cropping all the neat stuff off the edges so I left all of them there. There are some  forgivable (hopefully) blank spots because of this.

Also, see my processing of a parallel observation here.

Today, GHF distributed nearly two million meals to the Palestinians in Gaza — without Hamas stealing them. While the UN refuses to support GHF and pushes for the return of Hamas-controlled UNRWA, GHF is on the ground feeding Palestinians. And doing it right. That’s the truth.

At the risk of getting yelled at, this is part of why I keep saying blue state NIMBYism is a travesty for democracy. When we make it so that low-income immigrants, LGBTQ people and pregnant people can't afford to live where they want, think about what they end up being subject to.

Another shot of the #toad I shared earlier this week, this time looking straight ahead through the blades of grass. #BlueSkyArtShow #GetOutside #nature #wildlife #photography #macrophotography #nikon #herps
A toad sits in the tall grass with a grass blade going diagonally in front of its nose from the bottom center diagonally toward the top right center of the frame. It is looking straight ahead at the viewer, seemingly with a frown on its face and its left eye looking intently open while its right eye is slightly squinted downward. Its skin is textured with light and dark brown splotches.

A young blue tit clings to the edge of a beech leaf with its claws, and while it hangs on the leaf with its back to the ground, it manages to pick tiny white beech aphids (guess, I'm no biologist ...) from the deep green leaf with pull-up movements.
