steter: Were I still living in LA, or anywhere in California, especially Southern California, I'd be making sure my abode has good drainage and a stable slope in this year of a potential super El Niño which, of course, might fizzle out, but likely won't.Here in the too-dry Pacific Northwest, we stock up on masks and air filtration in El Niño years. If you live or work in a fire-prone area up here, it's a good time to make a defensible space around your residence/business to lower the odds of it catching fire.A good read:https://mastodon.social/@weatherwest/116734137877777638#weather #ElNino #ElNiño #California #Oregon #Washington

This is a black and white architectural photo in portrait format of an upmarket, brilliant white, low-rise apartment building located in an upmarket area. Nob Hill, San Francisco (2016). Dominating most of the image is our almost Gaudi-like apartment building. A hint of neighbouring buildings can be seen to the sides but not enough to identify any detail. In view is the side facade with a tiny bit of the ground floor and four upper floors. What makes this building distinctive are the delicately decorated semi-circular balconies surrounding the three vertical rectangular bay windows. The balcony on the first floor has an ornate low wall or railing at the front divided into three sections with multiple vertical rectangular slots, arched at the top and bottom. The balconies and windows above have an identical shape other than the front of the balconies have elaborately decorated horizontal rectangular, masonry reliefs in three sections surrounding the edge, the two outer pieces being noticeably longer than the centre section. This continues to the upper floor where there is a faux balcony devoid of any detail and low wall surrounding what might be a flat roof. On the right of the building a small amount of further balconies can be seen extending from what is the front facade. To the sides of the building and above is a clear and cloudless sky, rendered an ink black.

yazad3: Got another pic of the nest in the tree being used as a granary for acorns. Fun-fact - Acorn Woodpeckers are cooperative breeders, multiple members share mates and other non-sexual members help with raising the chicks. The one outside the nest is clearly the male, which you can tell by the larger red “cap” on its head. The females have a smaller red cap.

an orange and black bird with a large beak bites the finger of the woman who holds him. Though you can only see her hands, she wears a light green parka and a silver ring with diamonds on it.

a beautiful medium-sized bird perches on a diagonal branch. Its head and back are a unique color of blue, close to sky blue, but also hints of turquoise.

Dragonfly_Astro: Lately I've been feeling anxious about becoming a teacher (I'm starting a credentialing program in June). Because of AI, it feels hard to predict anything but chaos in the coming decades. How do I give young people a sense of direction and hope in this world? If anything, I want to impart a sense of awe in my students - awe of nature, of the universe, and of the beauty which is found in life if we look the right way. I also want to instill a sense of ethics, because I believe the only way we'll survive the coming crises is through faith in humanity, and a keen inner sense of right and wrong. How do you cope with an uncertain future? What do you tell the rising generation about how to orient their lives? ~dragonfly --- Photo info: I was experimenting with a single-shot technique where I mount my camera on a tracker which runs at half-speed, to double the possible exposure time before the shot blurs. Then, I keep the built-in noise reduction functions on my camera turned ON (I know, crazy, right?) This was a single, 8 second shot at ISO 4000 and f/1.8. Taken with a Nikon Z6 ii and 85mm prime lens. Processed in GIMP. The subject is the constellation Scorpius, rising over a hill at Pinnacles National Park in California. Exciting times - milky way season is almost upon us! 😊 --- #CDARC #astronomy #astrophotography #astrodon #science #nature #california #spring #art #landscape #GIMP #education
