Very dapper man with premium kitten accessories. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
A light brown skinned man, maybe central or South American, in a light striped shirt, bow tie, and Panama-style hat at a jaunty angle sits on roughhewn wooden bench with a black cat and tabby cat scooped up in his arms. The tabby seems to be trying to make an exit.

Thinking of my incredible father in law, Gordon Mumford (RIP) today. He served bravely in the Merchant Marines in WWII as a Radio Officer, was sunk 2x by German U Boats and lived an amazing life... setting up radio towers in East Africa, teaching engineering in Kenya, a great dad+ grandfather. ❤️

HiRISE 3D: Double Impact Crater!

Glacier fill in two craters now separated, but looks like the flow went north at some point, and there is a suprising lack of erosion in some areas of the rim.

3D image shows a fantastic view of a double impact crater on Mars. The floor of both craters is smooth, most likely from glacia fill. The scene is less than 5 km, or 3 miles, across. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona)

Dung beetles know where they want to go. They roll, push or shove their dung ball & every few seconds they stop pushing to climb on top of the ball to make sure they are going in the right direction. This dung beetle male is just climbing down after a look around.

This male dung beetle is black and a deep iridescent metallic purple colour. He has just taken a look around from the top of his dung ball to make sure he’s going in the right direction, and is now climbing down to resume pushing! Dung beetles navigate by the sun and stars!
