Remain calm Steve. We don't want any shenanigans....

Steve the otter, drawn in a realistic cartoon style, sits on a carpeted office floor and turns his head with wide, surprised eyes as if startled by a sound.

I’ve got my eye on you . . This is as far as I’ve got with the camera recently, all the way to the bottom of the garden. #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 #photography #landscapephotography #photographers

This Echinocereus expels tiny galaxies into the night air. Naughty flower left a tiny, invisible spine in my finger. I finally got it out after a month of minor agony. I did get a photo op out of it, though! #flowerphotography

autumn comes softly around these parts a quiet shift: the crisp air bends mossy limbs lean in to listen beneath a broody, receptive sky, the forest yields without a sound, and time slows down... #words #photography #nature #autumn #landscape

Large ferns slumber on the forest floor as green moss grows on fallen trees. Beyond, the forest readies itself for change with hints of yellow & gold beginning to form before the fall. A soft photo of a dense and welcoming forest

"Fire And Ice" #landscape #nature #sunset #photography

Rattlesnake Lake in Washington State. There's some old tree stumps strewn around the edge of the lake and sticking up from the lake. The sky is split in half - red like fire on one side, and blue like ice on the other. I'd never seen a sunset like it. There's a bunch of trees lining the lake in the distance.

We had to stay up late to get the core in alignment with this creek, but it was worth it. #milkyway #astro #astrophotography #PhotographersUnited

A vertical photo of the Milky Way over a small stream running through a forest. The stream runs through the center of the image. The surface of the stream is calm, reflecting the brighter stars and the glow of the galactic core. The stream is lined with tall pines that appear to angle in slightly towards the stream. The light of a firefly can be seen along the right side of the image, appearing as small green dots.

Above the horizon, the galactic core rises from the center of the image where the stream disappears from view. The core rises straight up. The background of the sky is dark blue, but not black. This photo was taken shortly before nautical twilight and the sun is already starting to illuminate the sky, if only faintly.

Little and large #MacroMonday #MacroPhotography #Macro #ColorADay #PinkMon

A large water drop hangs from the bottom of a pink Cosmos petal with a much smaller water drop hanging froma tiny spider silk thread just below and to the left of centre of the large water drop. Much of the petal is out of focus and only the bottom part of the petal is in the image entering from the top right of the image. The petal appreasr to have curved rounfd fromleft to right and it is very difficult if not impossible to see where the large water drop joins the petal.

Trump: "The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!"

The only control or “guardrails” that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades! The Trump Administration has stopped AI “people” from doing bad, or potentially bad, “things,“ like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a “perfect little angel” - and we will continue to do so! We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies! There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China. WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS! We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so. Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Good morning Bluesky! I love getting out before sunrise for hikes. There is a magic in the quiet of mornings that I treasure. #Photography #StunDay #Sunrise #GSMNP
