Happy Thursday, all

#birds #ocean #photography
A photo taken just after sunrise at the beach, with the sun centered just above horizon. A thin cloud covered the middle portion of the sun, which is on a dark orange-red sky. Two pelicans fly toward right of frame.

Ah, do you ever look back on a viral video you worked on forever ago just to take a look at the recent comments only to see this lololololol
A YouTube comment (black text on a white background) that reads: "To much time on your hands. This is possibly the best example of masturbation without porn humanity has to offer"

Also, got to hang out with this buddy while waiting for the rocket launch. A willet, I think?

A very cool Space Coast afternoon: Got to watch NASA's #ESCAPADE mission lift off on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. Congrats to all involved!

#newglenn #iphonephotography
A photo of a rocket (Blue Origin's New Glenn) lifting off over the ocean. A bunch of smoke-y looking clouds are on the horizon with the white (with two black stripes) rocket just a bit above in the air.

I stumbled across a very cool bookstore in my neighborhood only to promptly discover it's closing due to a new landlord/owner retiring. Anyway, I've been hella unemployed and depressed for over a year...so, is this my sign to become a bookshopkeep?

#bookstores
A photo taken inside a used bookstore of a corner of shelves full of paperbacks. A handwritten sign on one of the shelves reads: "paranormal, futuristic, time travel."

Mood: dramatic sky

#photography #beach
A photo taken at the beach on a cloudy mid-morning. The top two thirds of the photograph is of a dramatic sky, with a dark cloud bank just above the horizon. Fluffier clouds cover the rest of the sky, letting some light in. Very low waves roll in below, with wet sand showing in the bottom right of frame.

Here's my #GARtwork for #GarWeek 2025. I call this markers on paper composition “Under the Surface.” It’s inspired by the alligator gar’s magical smile + the power of #scicomm.

Thank you to @garlab.bsky.social,
@solomonrdavid.bsky.social, OKWildlifeDept, + all involved in #GarWeek2025

#sciart
An abstract, colorful marker interpretation of a fish with a very long nose with many sharp teeth. The illustration is heavily yellow with a rainbow effect around most to the roughly painted lines. It's bright and the essence of an alligator gar (long nosed fish) is distilled in frenetic warm color choices. Jagged lines mimic the gar's sharp teeth and a repeated eyeball pattern draws attention to the fish's face.

Happy Thursday from a calm ocean and a couple of cool shorebirds

#birds #beach #photography

I think this buddy would prefer pigeon food to jaunty scarves but could possibly also rock a jaunty scarf

Small thing (literally and figuratively), but I miss jogging to Venice Beach and hanging out with the breakwater crabs

#nature #crabs #ilovela
A crab, reddish with some green, sports two big red claws while sitting on a green-algae covered rock next to beach sand covered in a very shallow layer of water.

Reflective piper reflects reflectively

#birds #beach
A piper walks on reflective wet beach sand about a foot from the water's edge. The piper faces left, with a near perfect reflection beneath the bird. One foot is lifted just a little, as the piper is in mid-step.
