“One of the most poetic facts I know about the universe is that essentially every atom in your body was once inside a star that exploded. Moreover, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than did those in your right. We are all, literally, star children, and our bodies made of stardust.” Lawrence Krauss

Some cool big stones along the curb of a neighbourhood I often through. As a rock-enjoyer, I often admire them, so I decided to take some pictures this time :)

They've got such lovely quartz veins through them, and there's even a perfect giant wish stone! <|:D

I also included a picture of what I think is common tansy (dried and browned from being outside) and a pretty-looking puddle :3

Lanceleaf Frogfruit

Phyla lanceolata

This perennial species in the verbena family is native to much of the United States and Mexico. It's usually found growing in disturbed wetlands, ditches, or yards and provides nectar for many beneficial insects when it blooms during summer.

The plant pictured was in disturbed bottomland woods near Butler Lake and the Meramec River in southern St. Louis County, Missouri, USA

The tranquility of nature dispels the worries, the chirpy trills of the crested tit make the mind light as air

The cold penetrates the skin and transforms into swirling heat, stronger

Turn the perspective upside down and let it skitter up the tree trunk like the squirrel, respectfully; spruce, what can you teach me?

Tiny, Beautiful and Precious moths (❁>◡<❁)

Philadelphia Weirdos, this event is for you.

On July 14th, we're gonna go into the Pine Barrens and enjoy the hell outta some moths.

This is the 3rd year we've run this event, all to support science education nonprofit Skype a Scientist.

We'll gather at dusk and take a walk around the pond, We'll enjoy some of the crepuscular critters, hopefully see some bats and carnivorous plants, and then set up for a night of bug appreciation! What we'll see on these nights is unpredictable, but in past evenings, we've seen snakes, slugs, wolf spiders, bats, longhorn beetles, many many moths, and more!

Bring some beverages, a chair, a head lamp and any photo equipment you'd like! We'll have some head lamps you can borrow, but won't have enough for everyone. 

Get tickets here!

Flies are such an under appreciated group of creatures. I love the bluish grey colors on this one.
