I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Zooming in on the photo of Earth taken by astronauts on Artemis II on their way to the Moon, you can clearly see the Aurora Borealis and thin layer of atmosphere wrapping around the planet.

After nearly three years hidden from view by hoarding and scaffolds the Palm House at Allan Gardens is finally open to the public again. Some salmon swam by for a look-see. #Toronto

Blue salmon sculptures painted with indigenous artwork appear to be swimming toward a glass-domed building

#JanuArty - Day 20: Primary This is from a photo that I took last year of tulips in a city planter with the low sun hitting from behind. Obviously with a "small" digital assist to pull up the blues. I kind of like it.
