I'd not be surprised if it was just a little drifting web which got caught, but I did like the spindly little bridge a spider had left on this tree branch. #california #nature

A neat little riverbend. This is in a little regional park in Oakland; I feel a bit silly having passed it so many times over the years without stopping. #california #nature


"Raking Light", Drakensberg 2024. We had risen in the dark to make the short but steep walk up to this view point on our final morning of a 75km traverse of the berg, and were greeted to views with such depth and light of a wonderful quality. The winds were strong but nothing could distract from the immensity of our surroundings.

Corporate monopolies drive #landgrabbing for #palmoil. To give #indigenous peoples, animals and #nature a fighting chance, we must join together and resist. "Sustainable" palm oil is a lie. #Boycottpalmoil and #Boycott4Wildlife https://palmoildetectives.com/2022/11/20/land-grabbing-and-the-climate-crisis-are-strongly-linked-to-palm-oil/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer via @palmoildetect


'Hanging On'

A beautiful, large ancient oak tree with some remnants of autumn colour on a cold, frosty winter's morning. I've got many images of this tree, but I hope one day to have a set of nearly identical images through the different seasons.

I thought I’d post something bright and colourful for my first post over here!

Been going on a lot of camera-less walks recently. On those, if I see something pretty, the phone has to suffice. Here's four shots from three walks (top and bottom left were taken today).

The incredible (and often overlooked) mountain landscape of the Isle of Harris, Scotland. This place is rugged and unvisited, partly because the beaches of the island steal away attention and partly because of its unforgiving character. Many of these areas are fairly unexplored in terms of photography and I'm excited to spend a bit more time doing just that over the coming years.

The film version of my image Alleviate. I took this frame while exploring the #PNW coasts of #Washington and the #olympicnationalpark area.

I loved the way the sunlight was highlighting the edges of all the moss on these Alder trees. A beautiful display of #nature

Misty day in the valley yesterday, but higher up, a dopamine rush of bright sun & mind-sharpening blue.

Bonus: the meteorological weirdness of fast-moving cloud hugging close to Fountains Fell; autumn grasses in tarnished golds; scattered flocks of sheep and plover; the local farmer on his buggy, old sheepdog riding pillion.

Headed back revived.

The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope is assembling the largest 3D map of the universe ever made.

The first section is now complete. Take a look at what happens when you zoom in...

I know it's fall but I looked back at some midsummer photos of this Anna's Hummingbird working some beebalm flowers in our front yard. Well, the flowers have all faded now, but the Anna's stay with us all winter. #photography #nature #naturephotography #birdphotography #hummingbird #birds #flowers


Computer models designed to simulate slime molds (left) turn out to be exceptionally good at simulating the large-scale structure of the universe (right).

Similar network patterns appear across scales differing by 30 orders of magnitude!

A newly discovered bacterium, Uabimicrobium helgolandensis, eats other bacteria and is a kind of 'bacteria of prey,' that should not even exist based on previous concepts about microbial cells. It could be a kind of microbial missing link, researchers suggest.

#News: Scientists have discovered that the serrated edges of Komodo #dragons' teeth are tipped with iron. The study gives new insight into how Komodo dragons keep their teeth razor-sharp and may provide clues to how dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex killed and ate their prey. #lizards #nature #animals #Boycott4Wildlife https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/07/240724123055.htm


A team of scientists from the University of Bristol recently released research that pushed the date of our Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) back to about 4.2 billion years ago.

This suggests that the life that is in each of us, and in each of the organisms that make up our very large extended family, runs in an unbroken chain backward for 4.2 billion years.

That’s a pretty considerable investment by the universe in every living thing.

Perhaps we should reflect on that a little more as we continue to muck around on this planet.

It might be time to start fitting in.

I just realized I haven't shared sandstone #photos. Sandstone is fascinating and #beautiful and forms various crazy shapes. Endless possibilities for both large and small scale #photography. Photo is titled 'Among the Waves'.
