Portugal is crushing it: renewables met 91% of Portugal’s electricity needs in the first 4 months this year & have pushed their⚡️prices to a 4 yr low!
Renewables are carrying an increasing % of their electrcity demand in the first 4 months in 2024:
- 95% April
- 91% March
- 88% Feb
- 81% in Jan
Portugal’s rapid transition is evidence it can be done: renewables are up from 27% in 2005 & 54% in 2017 with their last coal power plant shut down in 2021.

and then i go outside. where there are trees and bees, swallows and roses. the world is beautiful and real, and i can breathe again. i can feel like something other than a frazzled brain enslaved to a tyrant of despair and oppression.
i can feel something, anything other than pain and exhaustion.
this world is a gift. being alive on this awe-inspiring planet is a gift that humans spend every minute of every day trying to poison.
humans have turned life into something to regret, to lament. they have turned this earth into something to grieve. and neither humans nor the threatened beauty of this existence will ever stop breaking my heart.

"Ocean temperatures are currently hovering around the levels they typically reach in late July — and they’re likely to continue rising as the summer goes on."

Record-Breaking Ocean Heat Wave Foreshadows a Dangerous Hurricane Season
An active hurricane season could be in store because of ocean temperatures in the North Atlantic that broke records for more than a yearChelsea Harvey (Scientific American)
Anyone have an idea what laid these eggs on my native Mountain Mint? I've never seen anything like them.

L'arbre Okusu de Takeo
Vieux de plus de 3000 ans, ce camphrier est le 7ème plus grand arbre du Japon. Il mesure 30 m de haut pour une circonférence de tronc de 20 m, ses branches s'étendent sur 30 m de large d'est en ouest, et 33 m du nord au sud. C'est l'arbre sacré du sanctuaire de Takeo, qui a été construit à l'époque de Nara (735 de notre ère).
Les racines de l'arbre ressemblent à des pieds d'éléphants et sont recouvertes d'une écorce rugueuse, leur partie centrale étant fendue près de la surface du sol. À l'intérieur se trouve une cavité béante d'une surface de 12 tatamis (environ 20 m2), qui abrite un sanctuaire en pierre.
Aurora colors come from atoms that are trying to shed some of their energy.
In very thin air, oxygen survives in a delicate, high-energy state that emits green light. In denser air, atomic collisions knock oxygen to a lower-energy state that emits red. Nitrogen is a robust emitter that glows bright in even lower, denser layers of the atmosphere.
Beautiful science.

Within the dusk, in the invisible of darkness, our primitive fears and core emptiness are revealed. Within the dusk, within the swish of the night, the endless surrounding and the pure fullness of being are enhanced. (2024).

Lenin and the Art of the Impossible - Vox Popoli
The Tree of Woe contemplates the impossibility of revolution: Every rock star began as a long-haired freak in a garage with a dream of a record deal and groupies. Every best-selling author began as a would-be writer being told that no one buys books.VD (Vox Popoli)
Animal of the day (169)
As far as turtles go, the Diamondback Terrapin is a pretty one, but also a bit of an oddball. While its closest relatives thrive in the fresh waters of lakes and rivers, this one is specially adapted to living in brackish waters. It is found throughout the East Coast of the United States, the Gulf of Mexico coast, as well as in Bermuda. Like its more distantly related cousins the sea turtles, it has skin that is largely impermeable to salt and glands that help get rid of excess salt through tears. Staying relatively small with a shell length that reaches 5 inches in males and 7.5 inches in females, it feeds on various crustaceans, mollusks and fish.

Tweaked a bit the colors and sharpness. Taken with Pixel 4a and my telescope.
The sun is nuts!
"Bishop’s story, from birth to presumed death, shows the extreme danger facing right #whales, which could be #extinct in three decades if they continue to disappear at the present rate.
Bishop’s species is not doomed to #extinction, advocates say, but time is running out."

"“As we watch this #species go #extinct one by one, the solution sits idle in the hands of the administration”...
this year, a dead female turned up off #Virginia with a dislocated spine, a calf was discovered in #Georgia with head lacerations, & a young female was found — again in Georgia — with a fractured skull. All the injuries are consistent with vessel strikes.

Pacific Crest Trail: Part 1
Mount Hood looks stunning from up here on Table Mountain. I was informed by a frankly terrified-looking day hiker that black bears were seen up here last night. I’m proceeding with caution and will update you if I encounter them. 🐻🗻☀️

These wonderful little Q-tip sprouty things are Swamp Beacon [Mitrula elegans] mushrooms, and up until yesterday I had never found one. In fact they aren’t listed in many of my guides or fungi websites I visit. They mostly grow on fallen conifer needles IN BOGS… so you can see why they don’t get a lot of press!
