Found a strong beaver working on its log cabin this morning, hauling serious lumber down the creek to the lodge. Amazing! #Hiking #AltText
Photo shows a large beaver, only its head above water, hauling a fairly hefty log, maybe four inches in diameter and seven feet long, down a creek. It is in the shade so the photo color are muted. The beaver is holding on to one end of log in its mouth, the other end trailing behind.
Another shot of the log hauling beaver, this one in better light and showing more color, including the beaver's brown head and green aquatic vegetation along the stream.

Some creepy contrasting windows for today
#Photography #BlackAndWhite #AltText #nyc

A black and white photo taken at an upward angle towards the upper half of Saint Patrick's Cathedral. It seems to be listing a little to the left and behind it is a giant Black building with all glass windows. The giant spires of Saint Patrick's Cathedral jut up into the air and below them are arched stained glass windows and in the middle is a round stained glass window. The stained glass windows are of course not as noticeable in black and white. At the bottom are some tops of trees with branches and no leaves. The the rest of the photo is a clear gray sky. The photo has a Gothic creepy feel to it.

Stolen to add #AltText.

A post by Mille (threads.com/@millesini) on Threads: ‘A MAGA literally just messaged me: ‘“ICE is not coming after white people so why do you weird white people have a problem? Be quiet about shit that has nothing to do with you.” ‘And there it is: the absolute definition of white supremacy and zero empathy, spelled out in a single text.’

Nannette does not look too pleased with her new friend 😼 #NYC #AltText #Photography

A color photo of a tortoiseshell cat whose mostly black and orange especially on the face but with a white bib and white paws. She is standing in between a bed and a small bench looking a little bit annoyed but right at the camera. Next to her is a pillow that my friend had made for her son. It's a picture of Nannette in the shape of her sitting up. Evidently Nannette is very suspicious of the new Nannette.

#MothOfTheDay sees the return in 2026 of the vividly yellow and oh so cute:

CANARY-SHOULDERED THORN
Ennomos alniaria

Fairly common in the UK, attracted to light and larvae feed on various trees.

Front on shot, slightly out of focus of a moth on a stick. Its wings are pointed vertically in a V shape above its thorax. Its wings are mottled yellow, but its head and thorax and very bright, vivid yellow and furry. It has two compound eyes close together either side of two palps, and two yellow feathered antennae sweep backwards from its head. Its thin grey legs grip a blue lolly stick.

Its large scalloped wings and mottled yellow with purple suffusion near the outer edge and a black mark right in the centre. They are held vertical and back like a billowing cape. Its head is canary yellow with two palps that resemble a tiny beak and a black compound eye.

#MothOfTheDay is

OAK EGGAR
Lasiocampa quercus

Name comes from its acorn-shaped cocoon. Larvae actually feed on heathers, brambles and hawthorns.

BONUS PICTURE - just for fun, 11 of the 14 Elephant Hawk-moths to pay a visit last night. Three were photo-shy and flew off.

An overhead photograph of a large female Oak Eggar moth resting on a person's index finger. The finger points right, but the moth hangs off it vertically. The moth has a stout, robust body shape covered in a dense, fluffy mane of golden-brown or tawny-orange hair. The forewing is smooth and triangular, coloured in a gradient of warm ochre-brown. A distinct, slightly curved dark brown line runs horizontally about halfway down separating the darker upper end from a slightly lighter orange-brown rear section. Two prominent, bright white oval spot sits near the centre of each forewing. Two short, pale orange antennae curve upward from the head. The background features a blurred green garden and chicken wire.

Women are 51% of the population but 60% of the poor and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food but earn just 11% of the pay and own only 20% of the land All while giving birth to 100% of the population.

#FensterFreitag

Instead of the many usual windows, today is just the one reflection. I offer it to everyone in this country that needs to grow a spine. The holiday and the heat are making me testy.
#Photography #NYC #AltText #iPhonePhotography

A color photo that was taken looking into the window of a interior decorating place. The reflection from the window is many brown stones across the street and a large lamp post with a banner on it, as well as a white car towards the bottom and the sidewalk. Coming through from inside the store is a light fixture on the right hand side that is made up of more than a dozen little round light orange bubbles with light inside of them. But the main focus of the photo is a glass vertebrae that was hanging in the window. It looks just like the skeleton of your spine only made out of glass

Happy Canada Day!

The Indigenous flag was designed by artist Curtis Wilson (d 2019).

The renowned artist was born and raised in the Ligwilda’xw territories and he was a member of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation in Campbell River.

""Every day is a learning experience we must do our best to pass on the knowledge to our future generations." ~ Curtis Wilson

#Canada #CanadaDay #FirstNations #IndigenousPeople #AltText

Describing the design of this piece, he said: "A killer whale is within the maple leaf and the red bands are each with a salmon design. Throughout my life, I have come to learn all the hardships and struggles that First Nations people have faced in this country. This design speaks for my love and visions of my heritage and the country I live in – standing together in support of each other."

I visited Penn Station for the first time since the renovations, I don't travel much 😂 I had to get a ceiling photo of Moynihan train station #Photography #FensterFreitag #NYC #AltText

A color photo taken of the window ceiling of Penn Station. The upper 2/3 of the photo is covered in the small square windows of the ceiling. It was a grey day and everything looks very white. The ceiling is being held up in three places by huge steel beams that come to points in the middle and have other steel pieces that make triangles in between another beam going straight across the bottom. The bottom third of the photo shows the third beam through which you can see facing out the window another brick building that looks like it's encased in fog. In the middle of the photo is a round white faced clock surrounded in square black metal on a pole that cannot be seen. Across the bottom is a black metal beam and the words Daniel Patrick Moynahan Train Hall can be seen in tiny letters.

Lift-off

"Huddled in a Zodiac boat in icy waters off the Antarctic peninsula, I waited patiently for an Adélie penguin to propel itself from the water to the safety of an iceberg. Persistence delivered as I captured this penguin in an almost levitational-like state, as if posing for the camera”

An Adélie penguin is captured mid-air, frozen in a perfectly vertical leap high above a floating ice floe in icy Antarctic waters. The penguin's body is upright, wings slightly pinned to its sides, with a spray of water droplets trailing beneath its feet. In the background, calm grey-blue ocean water stretches toward a foggy horizon with a massive, pale blue iceberg towering in the distance.
