Sulphur-crested Cockatoo 🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

I started working on this drawing half a year ago as a part of the #BirdWhisperer challenge, but I got very busy around that time and only finished it recently. It is far too late for the official posting date, but I am glad I completed this one!

Today's little watercolour sketch - I bought a few sheets of 5x7" watercolour paper (roughly 80 😏), so I'm just doodling. Take care and have a good day - I'll catch up with you later after I've inspected the damage Helgi cat has inflicted on the living room...

Pics from 4 of the 5 biggest geomagnetic storms so far from Solar Cycle 25. Alas, it was midnight sun season and cloudy during the biggest storm of the cycle in May 2024.

As solar maximum wains, we will see less big displays, but I bet we have a few shows left.

Orion's Treasures over Snowy Mountains apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26012...
Rising over a frozen valley in the Tatra Mountains, the familiar stars and nebulas of Orion dominate this wide-field nightscape. The featured deep photo was taken in southern Poland's highest mountain range last month.

How I'm preparing for the snowstorm: got my library book and a hoard of ramen + hot chocolate supplies; washed my emotional support flannel-lined jeans. And my snowshoes are ready in case I can go stomping around the park on Sunday/Monday.
