Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

Sigh, we could have continued to invest in solar power, instead we have this nonsense.

For those who enjoy how science and research may have influenced artists, this is a wonderful read. #sciart 🧪 #abstractart #hilmaafklint

Little hands made cookies and we dropped them off with a few neighbors yesterday. I get such a kick of dropping off a box of mice. 🐁 🦉 🍪

Something lovely for the weekend! Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age 💙 Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago. 📷 National Museum of Denmark #Archaeology

I received this txt Tuesday morning and *just happened* to park in front the oddity shop Paxton Gate when running an unrelated errand. I thought they just had sculls, taxidermy and crystals. I was delighted to discover that they had an entire section of the store devoted to carnivorous plants.

This hung as part of a series of human #neuron portraits at the WSU Dengerink Gallery for the exhibit ‘Memory: Cerebral Entanglement’ #sciart #artinstallation

So, what happened on Twitter? They now allow people to alter people’s photos and images?

I blew off social media lately, and for that I apologize. But I can’t let #ArtAdventCalendar pass without posting at least ONCE! So here’s something different, a photo of a lone surfer, three weeks ago during the King Tides at Cannon Beach #Oregon, just two days before all the flooding hit.

For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 24, a photo taken 13 years ago today, the Bow River in the Rocky Mountains near the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, in Banff National Park, Alberta. Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

#ArtAdventCalendar final day! My muse, Siam smanit (the Stawamus Chief)

What if we kissed under the neuron?

Despite living in #Portland for a looong time, I’ve never explored its amazing food carts. Next year I’m going to go to more of them across the city. What inspired this. Sorbu Paninoteca – A Tuscan-inspired food truck at 5011 NE 42nd It’s not listed on Google maps, but it’s sandwiches are 👌💥

17. Contrasting wood cockroach There's so many species of blattodeans (cockroaches & termites,) with v few being considered pests by humans. Some are incredibly colourful, some are metallic & shiny like jewel-beetles, others have bold patterns. They're very underrated. #SciArt #ArtAdventCalendar
