One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Rare asperitas clouds ripple above New Zealand, creating a surreal, wave-like sky. Recently recognized as a distinct cloud type, their origins remain a mystery, but their beauty is undeniable.

What appears to be a craggy, starlit mountaintop kissed by wispy clouds is actually a cosmic dust-scape being eaten away by the blistering winds and ultraviolet light of nearby, massive, infant stars. What else did #NASAWebb find in Pismis 24? https://bit.ly/4mr3cmt

Observatories, assemble! Hubble and #NASAWebb combined forces, producing this amazing view of star clusters NGC 460 and NGC 456. Hubble captures glowing, ionized gas in blue, while Webb highlights clumps and delicate filamentary dust in red. Credit: NASA, ESA. 🔭 🧪

How to get out of a love-hate relationship with your phone : It's Been a Minute
Finding it hard to concentrate? Are you glued to social media for longer than you’d like? Well, maybe it’s not you… maybe it’s the phones.
Brittany is joined by Magdalene Taylor, writer, cultural critic and senior editor at Playboy, and Fio Geiran, producer at TED Radio Hour and a writer of their Body Electric newsletter, to discuss this phrase: “it’s the phones.” They get into the effects that smartphones have on our brains and our culture, why some people are returning to “dumbphones,” and why it might take more than willpower to manage our relationships with our phones.

Nobody captured love, loss, and the fight for belonging more powerfully than Andrea Gibson did. Their words gave voice to the unseen and hope to the unheard.
Colorado is better because of their words. Our hearts are with their loved ones and all mourning this profound loss.
