Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, Ca. Famous for its unique optical illusion that makes it appear to be on fire for a brief period of time each year in mid- to late February. This happens when the setting sun hits the waterfall at just the right angle, illuminating the mist and spray in a fiery orange glow.

The quote is actually a paraphrase of a passage from a book called The Book of the Dead by P.D. James
• The original passage reads:
You should never trust people who have only one book. It doesn't matter whether it's Marx or Hitler or the Bible; if they have only one book, they're dangerous. And they've probably never read it anyway.

By weaving popsicle sticks together in a specific pattern, there is a build up potential energy (stored energy) in the bent and twisted sticks. When released from one end, this stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as the sticks rapidly unfurl & fly through the air in a chain reaction.

For various safety reasons, storks don’t deliver human babies, but they’re remarkable migrators. European populations, for instance, migrate to sub-Saharan Africa during the winter months, covering thousands of kilometers.

Lago di Braies, Dolomites of Italy, has a remarkably clear and pristine water ecosystem. It’s has low nutrient levels, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen. Since that restricts the growth of aquatic plants the lake remains relatively clear most of the time.

It’s like Republicans watched documentaries about mid-century fascism and instead of learning some moral lessons, they saw them as instructive guidance.

His employees make his business possible - even his considerable investment income can be traced back to low wage workers.The lack of humility from someone whose fortune rides on the back of cheap labor has become the clueless standard of our age…in 2020 there over 800k Masters in Business grads. It’s not like no one else has that skill set

Fledgling kestrel. Kestrels are known for their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings while maintaining a fixed position above the ground. They can basically pause in flight if they think they may have spotted prey.

Slime mold (Comatricha nigra) showing capillitial fibers through its translucent
peridium. ‘Slime’ doesn’t conjure up great mental image, but they are voracious eaters, primarily consuming 🦠, thriving on decaying organic matter. They are also food for various creatures, including nematodes, beetles, mites, and birds.

Pandion haliaetvus, osprey, also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. Found on every continent except Antarctica…they’re amazing to watch while they’re fishing. They carry the fish head pointed forwards to keep down drag. #fishing #birds #nature #ecology #CC #photography #naturephotography
