old woman watching the madness . Love family, democracy, astronomy, cats, birds, nature. Recipes from unusual threads. To relax I try to imagine flying a kite on Venus (it’s a gravity thing)

I’m trying to understand the sounds of the universe that we cannot hear. So I am sitting on the shores of Kraken Mare on Titan with my cosmic cello. My cello translates these sounds and plays to me. Incredibly relaxing exercise.

New Bigg's killer whale calf alert! 👀

This little one was seen today in the San Juans traveling alongside T36A2 Kailas. If she is confirmed as the mother, this is her first known calf at age 13.

OBI's research assistant Alex got on scene while out with Maya's Legacy and sent along this photo! 😍

Steve and Brad are on a sightseeing tour of all the pubs they’ve been banned from. Seeing as that is pretty much all of them, it's going to be a long day.

This garden spider is living outside my kitchen window, they're everywhere at the moment #invertebrates #spider

macro image dominated by a common garden spider, taken of the top side of the spider, it is many shades of brown with intricate patterns on the back. In the background there is something blue which is out of focus.

The Jungfrau peak catches the last rays of sun over the Lauterbrunnen valley. 🇨🇭 📷

A large snow covered peak on the left glows orange. To the right a glacier carved valley sits in shadow.

San Diego, California

Soft ripples of water sing beneath a colorful sky.
Reflections drift where memory lingers.
The last light gathers, folding into stillness.
Serenity deepens, and the soul begins to rest.

San Diego, California

Held by water, watched by sky.
The harbor listens. The city breathes.
Anchored in stillness, moved by light.
Even the clouds linger, as if something quiet unfolded.
Light finds its way, even here.

My wonder affirmation for today. Don’t know about you but I never saw glass in a freezer growing up. So I’m switching to borosilicate glass and reducing my plastic footprint.
