Visiting the server room at @it4innovations.bsky.social in Ostrava is always enjoyable. This year there's also new hardware: a quantum computer VLQ 🐺 and next generation Barbora cluster. Looking forward to some great science they'll enable.

Platanthera orchid with a spider somewhere on it.

Rauris valley in the Austrian Alps with globeflower (trollius europaneus) and some of the 200 dandelion species in the foreground.

The 2000th observation was an orchid from platanthera genus growing in the beautiful Rauris valley in Austria. The spider hanging on the orchid became the next entry.

Observations Observations by Jiri Klimes

Today I passed 2000 observations and 900 species on @inaturalist.bsky.social . It has been a nice way to learn about nature and contribute to various projects. Huge thanks goes to the people that help to identify my observations. www.inaturalist.org/observations...

A manuscript of a scientific paper with equations in the foreground. In blurred background athletic stadium and buildings.

Evening multitasking: reading Khanh's latest manuscript, watching my older daughter's long and high jump competition and plane spotting arrivals to PRG 🙂.

cherry tree blossoming

common lilac plant blossoming in Prague

First blossoming cherry tree and common lilac close to our office in Prague. Feels a bit too early, especially for the cherry tree.

Leucojum vernum plants sprouting on our meadow.

Old picture of blossoming leucojum vernum from the same place.

Today is also World Wetlands Day so a good time to check what's happening on our own wet meadow. Spring Snowflakes (Leucojum vernum, bledule), the first spring flowers, are already sprouting there. In about a month there should be hundreds of them blossoming.

Hair ice viewed from side.

Hair ice with leaves around

I found some hair ices today in an old beech forest close to Machov, CZ, the nicest one is on the picture. I wasn't exactly sure on what it was growing but it was a piece of wood indeed. #broumovsko
