A calm lakeside scene at night features a vivid aurora borealis with a strong red hue across the star-filled sky. Below, a line of silhouetted pine trees borders the still lake, with scattered houses along the shoreline illuminated by warm yellow and orange lights. The lights reflect on the smooth water, adding vertical streaks of color. Thin, dark clouds stretch horizontally across the sky, partially diffusing the aurora’s glow.

Extremely rare White Auroras like never before spotted in the skies of Alaska last night👀 🌌✨

A blooming rose, cream colored petals with a hint of pink at the very tips of several of the petals.

I don't know what I might have done to have this rosebush gift me with this lovely rose in the middle of November, but here it is. On the South Shore of Long Island, New York.

These rock forms from Northern Norway always draw me in. The soft curves feel almost like a quiet pulse in the landscape..

.. Bluesky is my social media of choice for the rest of 2026. Seems best for real connections and sharing nature pics (a few from San Diego/La Jolla last week for #JupyterCon2025)

After several days of rain in South Africa's Drakensberg, towering basalt cliffs emerge from the clouds, as hikers (small white dots) make their way up the verdant foothills dressed in beautiful dappled light.

A birch tree in autumn foliage by the banks of a misty loch.

What a great morning of photography at this loch last week -the mist lingered for hours! I was like a kid in a sweet shop.

No matter how dull the conditions, there are always photographic opportunities! A long exposure brings out streaking clouds, against the turquoise waters of beautiful Moraine lake in the Canadian Rockies.

In the hills again, walk at Corran with @welshnaturelady.bsky.social, first roaring stags of the holiday.

Happy Autumnal Equinox.

Today, we move into another season of the year.

Bloody sunset over the sharp summit of Chamonix valley…
Really great memories from a beautiful evening & night in the mountains.

Close-up portrait of a tiny bird with dazzling iridescent plumage in shades of turquoise, emerald green, sapphire blue, and hints of purple. The bird has a remarkably long, thin beak and is perched on a slender moss-covered branch. Its feathers have a shimmering, jewel-like quality that changes color with the light, and its small, dark eye is clearly visible against the vibrant head feathers.

Blue hour at Lake Bled, Slovenia.

A square photo of dark rocks with white water pouring off them like many misty waterfalls.

Water and rocks. Or the entrance to Rivendell. Whichever you prefer.

The other morning, following a heavy rainstorm, we had wonderful fog in our neighborhood. I made this image of my oaks and pine in my backyard. Enjoy!

As AI nurses reshape hospital care, human nurses are pushing back Hippocratic AI initially promoted a rate of $9 an hour for its AI assistants, compared with about $40 an hour for a registered nurse.

Care is a fundamentally human activity for both giver and receiver. It is what makes us human. When we think we can replace it with technology, we make ourselves into machines and deepen the economistic vision of humanity stripped of the human.

A cute and innocent-looking Robin... or so it seems 😁
Don’t be fooled, this one’s a fighter! 🥊
There are three Robins in the area, and they’re not holding back. Full-on wrestling tussles right on the ground.
