Driftwood Sunrise! Another shot from my recent visit to Hatteras Island on North Carolina's Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It never disappoints.

I shot this photo of an American white pelican here in far Northern California. It was 12F at sunrise and the mist rising off the water created an ethereal atmosphere. #photography #wildlifephotography #birds #birdphotography

The Space Needle appears to be taking off from the fog in Seattle, Washington with Mt Rainier on the horizon:

Since #Canada was founded in 1867, there have been 28 mass shootings.

The United States has had 40...since Jan. 1, 2023.

“Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and… stop thinking!”
Wassily Kandinsky

I have synaesthesia. A condition not so rare as you might think. Kandinsky had it too. Here is a short film about it:

And a painting by Kandinsky to get you thinking or feeling. Maybe hearing or tasting? Callled ‘Painting with a Green Centre’ from 1913. Lines, shapes, colours. Not of anything maybe, but of something?

Been switching between several different Mastodon clients recently, trying to figure out what works best for us and so far, I think Tusker (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tusker/id1498334597) is the one which works the best for my own needs (and that of my wife) …

Some features are a bit harder to find, but the overall app shows a level of care and consideration that indicates that this is an app which has been in development over time and that the developer uses the app personally. It has a lot of the features that I wanted and about the only major thing it’s missing is the ability to edit posts.

I’m using it on macOS as a Catalyst app and there are some minor personal niggles of mine on macOS, but since the source is available, I’ll be making the changes myself (and sharing with the author if they would like to add it to the main app).

For the time being, I think I’m sorted 😛

@MicheleV_AK ooooooooh niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! These are spectacular!

I used to watch the northern lights when I lived in northern Alberta.

More photos from The Aurora Chasers...wow! 💗

@SinclairLewis @JustJenny yup, absolutely. I also take temps of cakes. It's better.

Guten Morgen. ☕
Ich wünsche euch ein ruhiges Wochenende. 👋🌞

Magnetawan River in #Magnetawan, #Ontario in autumn. I have enough autumn colour photos in my archive to last me forever.

Dune-du-Sud on Île du Havre aux Maisons is one of the more interesting beaches in Îles de la Madeleine, #Quebec. It has some caves you can explore at low tide.

O Canada! The #PhotoOfTheDay is the Confederation Bridge, connecting New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island. This view is from the Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area in New Brunswick looking across the Northumberland Strait to PEI.

I have just been alerted to the fact that I, too, have missed National Squirrel Appreciation day, as noted by @colinpurrington and @elliek
Here is my belated contribution to the theme. They are among my favourite animal subjects to photograph as they are so full of mischief. This was taken at #Kejimkujik #NationalPark in #NovaScotia #Canada where they abound and are relatively fearless.

I really, really loved this beautiful #cliff in #Percé, #Gaspé peninsula, #Quebec. We did this Quebec road trip in a little Honda Fit and boy, did that car struggle a lot. There's a lot of mountain roads with steep incline in Quebec and the poor car just wasn't made for that kind of terrain. At least it was fuel efficient?

@JustJenny @SinclairLewis yup, I also take the internal temp to test for doneness. It's the most reliable way.

@JustJenny it looks great! Well done!

Happy Saturday all! Tonight’s sunset is from today and Cley-next-the-sea
