Thanks for the links!
Bookmarked both of them. Loved space stuff as a kid and getting more into it lately.
Where we just moved you can see the SpaceX rocket launches. I havent seen it yet but my wife and neighbor saw it driving home and it freaked them out it was that close. They didn't know what it was. Lol

Thanks to AL and everyone else pics I've gotten into birdwatching a bit here too.
Lots of woodpeckers here, cardinals, eastern bluebirds and owls I hear but have not seen yet.

A bit of green today you must tired of the river🙃. Todays a good day. Off now for a Sunday roast with my wife in a nice hotel restaurant.

I miss living by the water. I will never tire of your river pics.
Green is nice too but h2o does it for me.

Enjoy your lunch

Obviously not as good as AL’s photos 😁 but thanks for the link, Bimini. There are some amazing sights on there. The physics I teach part time to kids aged 11 to 18 includes some but not much space and astrophysics stuff. I’m surprised how many adults don’t know why we have seasons on earth (the earth spins on a tilt of about 23 degrees), and nearly all the younger kids think there’s been hundreds of people on the moon (only 12 and no one since 1972) and that we’ve sent people to other planets. My favourite is the International Space Station (I’d love to have a stint aboard) and why the astronauts appear weightless. It’s all interesting stuff, but I look up in the sky and don’t recognise a thing 😩

And here’s something I saw on my morning walk 🤣

Apparently this is what Saturn would look like if it was in our moon’s orbit. Not sure the sea would be that calm plus there’d be a few other problems, but it’s an interesting “photo”.

Catching up after a couple days, thanks for all the cool pics.
AL, it's amazing the diversity of ecosystems we have here in the states. Especially here where I live ... just a half-day's drive takes me to snow-covered mountains, deserts (low desert or high desert), the coast for paddling/surfing, a major river delta with millions of migrating birds. I really am lucky.

That's an amazing photo. I've seen the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) a few times as it is sometimes visible here along the north east coast of England if conditions are right but it is never as spectacular as that due to how far south I live.

Back to the water, the views from above and below. I've sore legs at the moment, muscular that is. Lots of walking going on and not enough resting, might take a nap today as im off. Probably wont as i always find something to do.

oh that sky is lovely!

Didn't have to walk too far for this little beauty. My first snowdrop of the season. Good weather means garden cleanup. Theres moss everywhere. Im exausted after it now .

I wanna hug that flower.

Its one of those days😬😡😬. Frustrating Frustration days when one person starts a conveyor belt of issues. This would be sorted if that person would pick up the phone. Then i think what if something bad has happened and thats why theres no answer. This job will be the end of me😭.
The imagination for crap stuff that 99% wont happen is amazingly strong and puts the stress levels on overdrive. That survival flight mode is being pushed back into a corner but all i want to do is walk away. Run actually as fast as i can out of this building and give it the 2 fingers but i cant😭.
I had no suspension today would be a pain when i took this photo this morning 😅.

Nobody picks up phones anymore. It is frustrating!

At least with emails I leave a paper trail so they can't say that they, "didn't know."

Hang on! It's just a job.

I keep telling myself that. If i could only finish that mortgage I'd be done😁.

It’s just a job aka someone else’s passive income is the way to think.

I choose to be a freelance contractor in a fairly famous but very ordinary engineering company who every few years get a new CEO with an ego the size of Jupiter who ends up downsizing. It must be nerve wracking for the staff, but it makes no difference to me. In the UK, employer loyalty doesn’t exist nor do company pensions, at least not viable ones. I can’t see the benefit of being a permanent employee. I’ll do the engineering fairly ok, but the politics and procedures I couldn’t care less about. It means I retain transferrable skills and don’t get stressed. It’s just a job. Oh, I do my own freelance teaching to kids too, and my whole mindset is reversed. That’s a far more worthwhile job.

Don’t let it get to you, AL 🙂

Sorry you've got the job pain today AL! I hear ya.

AL48

Home and dinner done. Going out now for a relaxing walk and shedding all those worries away.

venuscat

Just love. ❤️

AL48

That was worth the effort i will sleep well tonight.
Passing places like this really give you a bit of a reality check and make you realise how lucky you are.

Sorry you had a frustrating day AL but glad you got out for a walk and it helped.

Your reflection made me think of one of my favourite Mark Twain quotes 'I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.'

But sometimes frustration builds up and we just need an outlet, so glad you have your walks and photography 😊.

Tomorrow is a new day. Heard a good analogy this morning about how we apparently wake up with however million new cells each day. And how we should not pass on yesterday's negativity to our new cells. You seem very good with that sort of thing! But we all have our days.
