Despite having seen countless photos of Delicate Arch, we weren't prepared for its enormity in person. We stood at its base while a kind stranger snapped our photo. It provides some scale for its towering stature.

Today's frog is the salmon-striped frog. It was photographed today, and although it's alone on Valentine's day, it is happy with itself.

Another shot from Carpinteria yesterday. There were a handful of newborn Harbor Seal pups, including this one born earlier in the day. Gonna head back down after the storm(s)and bring a tripod this time! 🦭 🦑 #SealSky

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

Tonight's 📽 A revisit to glorious late-period Hammer horror Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974, dir. Brian Clemens). Horst Janson and Caroline Munro lead a great cast including John Carson. It's brilliantly, thrillingly weird, stuffed full of beautiful frames, black humour, action and invention.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 1512: Wide Field apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26020...
Most galaxies don't have any rings -- why does this galaxy have three? To begin, a ring that's near NGC 1512's center -- and so hard to see here -- is the nuclear ring which glows brightly with recently formed stars

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative

"There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"
'Abolish ICE' is imperative
It's also better politics than you might think.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EyeContact with the alternative #GardenBirds. A male Common Blackbird checking out what I was doing. Also a #ThrushThursday post which is apparently a thing.

Holy shit, when did I get 372 followers? People actually like my political shouts into the void? Should I be honored or concerned?

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

Hubble Observes Ghostly Cloud Alive with Star Formation www.nasa.gov/image-articl...
While this eerie NASA Hubble Space Telescope image may look ghostly, it’s actually full of new life. Lupus 3 is a star-forming cloud about 500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.
