While waiting for the ferry, I spotted this gull eating a starfish, looked like chocking at first. Dropped it, started over.. Got a long series…

Matching dinosaur footprints in Cameroon and Brazil record a time when Africa and South America were still connected & herds could wander between them.

I'm not saying the very same dinosaur was stomping around in both Cameroon and Brazil...but it's possible.

Researchers discovered theropod footprints in the Sousa Basin of northeastern Brazil.

Scientists Discover Similar Dinosaur Footprints on Opposite Sides of the Atlantic

More than 260 similar footprints found in Brazil and Cameroon help us understand a region that broke apart millions of years ago.

I submitted the manuscript for my next book!

It's a collection of folktales about misunderstood / underappreciated animals. Bats, sharks, wolves, rats, spiders, etc. I managed to find cool stories for each, and in every one of them the animal is portrayed in a positive light.

It was one heck of a research project, and I really enjoyed it 😄

Far More Blue

Even after the darkest night, the sun will shine. The sea will entertain you with its relaxing noise, and the sand will reflect the light in a warm, ancient colour palette.

"Incorporating wood sawdust and chips into field soils stimulates fungal growth. In particular, incorporation of hardwood material resulted in rapid and long-term stimulation of fungal filamentous growth. The fungi that develop are not the wood rot basidiomycetes found in forests but ascomycetes (sac fungi) that have easy access to the cellulose polymers in shredded wood."

"Stimulating fungi through wood addition fits well with more sustainable agriculture. It suppresses plant pathogenic fungi and the excess nitrogen, which might otherwise wash out, is captured by the fungi. It also increases the overall diversity of soil life by providing fungal-eating soil creatures with a food source."

The hidden world of wood-decaying fungi

Of all the components of dead plants, wood is the hardest to break down. How come fungi know how to do this? What issues did they need to solve to achieve this? The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) tries to find answers to these questions…

Grass is pretty amazing.

I was out at the farm, doing the regular fall chores and prepping beds for garlic, when my glasses lens fell out. The screw is, of course, gone. But I need my glasses to drive. Enter a natural material that's abundant, strong, flexible and able to hold a knot.

It got me home. Thanks, grass.

[EN]Since new readers have arrived here, I think I should introduce myself again. My name is Berta, I am a Spanish-Ecuadorian #philosopher and #artist. I am especially interested in the transition from #nature to #cultures, #mythology, #religion, and #symbolism. In my current #photography project, I am reconstructing the myth of Persephone.

The 2024 winners of Astronomy Photographer of the Year are out...and they are spectacular.

Here's the overall winner: a time-sequence of a solar eclipse that shows deepening shadows from mountains on the Moon. (Credit: Ryan Imperio)

rmg.co.uk/whats-on/astronomy-p…. #science #space #photography #nature

Photographer Ryan Imperio from the United States has been named the overall winner of Astronomy Photographer of the Year 16. The image is a composite of more than 30 separate photographs of the Sun, taken in Texas during the annular solar eclipse of 14 October 2023. Together the photographs capture the fleeting optical illusion known as 'Baily's beads', which occurs when sunlight shines through the valleys and craters of the Moon.

Manche fliegen stundenlang in ein heißes Land, um dort Abkühlung in einem Pool oder dem Meer zu suchen und dann über die Hitze zu stöhnen.
Hier ein alternativer Tipp: #Ferien bei uns, da ist es immer kühl.
Und unsere #Ferienwohnung hat eine natürliche Beschattung, da ist spürbar, was Bäume ausmachen. #nature
Weg aus Rasengittersteinen. Links sind sehr hohe Bäume und Büsche, rechts Stauden und ein Haus. Der Weg endet vor einem Eingang.

A grand landscape scene of the Assiniboine Mountain range. Three Lakes can be seen in the foreground. The forest is speckled with yellow larche trees.
A closeup of a large waterfall. Midday sunlight illuminates the mist creating a rainbow of colour in the scene.
A large mount sits surrounded by yellow larches in fall. Sun beams can be seen piercing through the overhead clouds. A calm river leads into the scene.
A temperate rainforest scene. Bordered by a large cedar on the left, a series of sword ferns in the foreground. A variety of salmonberry, moss covered stumps, and maple vine can be seen within the forest.

Calling all #nature and #MarineBiology friends, can anyone tell us what these little jellies are? Beach, Isle of Arran.

Clear see-through jellies on a sandy beach. They are small, size of the end of a thumb maybe, and have vertical ridges all around. Kinda shaped like acorns.

Website: ogy.de/eolr
Photography. A color photo of a gnarled tree in front of a breathtaking sunrise. (IT'S a Moon!!!).An orange full moon (blood moon) appears between the branches as if the tree has captured and embraced it. On the ground, more driftwood lies on the dark ground. The blue sea forms the background, surrounded by a purple sky that fades into a blue-grey in pink and orange tones. Info: Driftwood Beach is characterized by a spectacular driftwood landscape. It resembles a surreal tree graveyard, which is often used by photographers as a backdrop for dramatic sunrises or sunsets. Photoinfo: Blood moon on 21.01.2019. Shot with Nikon D850 and AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens. It was shot at 1/40 sec at f/10, ISO 64, 140mm on a tripod.

Saw this stork today, sizing up an ice cream truck outside the stork sanctuary. Wonder what they were in the mood for. 😄

📷 and Art by Artist: #JohnButler in Loc.: #Bideford #Devon "Wonky Conker" UK 🇬🇧 - Title: "A helping Hand" ("Eine helfende Hand") 🫴🏻 - #Art #Streetart #PhotoArt #Fotografie #Photograph #Nature #Wood #Sculpture #Artist #Travel #Tree ➡️ #APhotoLove
Photography. A color photo of a helping hand on a crooked tree. A wooden sculpture in the shape of a hand clenched into a fist, holding a heavy branch to prevent it from breaking. A sculpture has been standing under an old green tree (called "Wonky Conker") for 20 years, holding a heavy branch that is growing to one side. The photo shows a light-colored sidewalk next to it. Info: Originally, all the trees on the banks of the river were to be felled. However, resistance arose and a local artist was commissioned to find a solution for the old tree. A metal support disguised as a wooden wrist with a hand and fingers made of oak was conceived and realized. The tree is healthy and has become a tourist magnet.

Even with all the eclipse photos circulating right now, this one made my eyes pop. Great shot of jet contrails breaking up the edge of the eclipsed Sun. Quick calculation: The Sun is about 30,000,000 times wider than the jet.

Streetartwall. On the beige exterior wall of a three-storey building, a mural was created around a tree using lots of green paint and a single figure. In front of the high wall is a green meadow with a heavily pruned tree with many branches but no leaves. Behind it, the artist has let green paint run down the wall from above, which looks like green leaves behind the tree. Next to the tree is a figure with a spray can, looking at the green paint and admiring her work. Info: The artwork ist now (18.03.2024) confirmed
