The Zone is finally flooded.

The sun at noon through the fog without filter. Maybe the spots down left is dust on the lense, or I accidentially captured some sunspots. #sun #fog #fotography #cheese #nature #sunspots Lumix DMC FZ200, F/6,3, 1/1300, focal lenght 938mm, 1,8 x 58 Siocore photolens

This is Lilly. I adopted her when she was 14 yo. She was born with ataxia and was never able to walk or stand. So I had to carry her around, 15 pounds of will and joy. She stayed with me for most rewarding 3 years. #dog #jack-russel #adoption #joy

Quite interesting for a broken tree. Smartphone image with some simple filters.

First frost of the season.

The final harvest of the year

Let there be colors.

It's that time of year when mushrooms are growing everywhere, and their transformation is sometimes astonishing. Just look at the amazing shaggy mane mushroom (coprinus comatus). Also a little creepy.

We The Dogs demand a treat!

Cormac Smith on Times Radio w Philip Ingram: 600m Europeans & allies need 340m Americans to fight 170m Russians who cannot defeat 40m Ukranians.

Storm clouds promising rain as they approach the harvested field. #harvest #rainstorm #weather #clouds

The first Kestrel I ever "shot". It took me weeks to figure out where his favorite overlook was and then sneak up on him. My Panasonic DMC FTZ 200 did the rest of the sneaking.

My uncut backyard, full of flowers, looking like a mountain meadow. It is full of birds, bees, bumblebees, bugs and blossoms. Buzzin everywhere, all day long. Best decision to retire the lawnmower. #nature, #meadow, #garden, #bees, #bugs

It's poppy-season!

This morning I saw a Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus) chasing an aeroplane. Kind of.

As a small child in the early 70s, a song was played in my friend's house. It was breathtaking. I was told it was “Astronomy Domine” from Pink Floyd's 1967 debut album Piper at the Gates of Dawn. For me, it immediately opened the door to a whole new world of music. Thanks Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd.

#Russia reportedly strikes #Ukraine energy infrastructure 8 times since March 18, when #Kremlin supposedly accepted a Ukraine-US proposal for a halt to the attacks #Zelensky aide: "Moscow is a city built on lies, no surprise to anyone in Ukraine" #UkraineWar

In latest appeasement of #Kremlin, #Trump Admin withdrawing from int'l organization investigating #Russia leaders for crimes of aggression v. #Ukraine Admin will also cut back work of Justice Department's War Crimes Accountability Team Ukraine investigating 150K+ possible #RussiaWarCrimes

The US urgently depends on finalising the rare elements deal with Ukraine. Because these days, the rarest element among Republicans is decency. Closely followed by pity and compassion. Hatred and cruelty, on the other hand, are found in abundance. #Ukraine #USA #GOP #Nafo
