There was a hill with snow on it.

Birdabo!! 💖 :D
He was sitting in my front yard and I felt the need to photograph him. I like the way he posed for the camera too. He is my hometowns Mascot for our professional baseball team as well.

I have a project at a former surface mine/quarry and saw an area where recent rain eroded away sediment surrounding the gravel but not directly under it. Each rock was supported by its own column.
This is called pedastalling. It's also what happens when hoodoos form, just on a larger scale.
We watch for this as an erosion indicator in environmental assessments
Right on, thanks for naming it! I typically work with subsurface geology, so not quite as well versed in surficial stuff. I remember the basics from sed/strat and geomorphology classes in college. It's been a few years since haha
Here is the same thing writ large.

From the Enchanted City outside of Cuenca, Spain.
No problem. Us dirt (and rock) nerds need to stick together.
10/10 username btw
We have amazing hoodoos here in Utah. Went to goblin valley last year (where Galexy quest was filmed with the crazy rock fighting arena, it's real). The hoodoos there are phenomenal.

This valley makes us want to go goblin mode exploring and hiking
Woah they look like a bunch of little mushrooms at first 🍄
They do! Probably a little hard on the teeth though
probably not the best for cream of mushroom then haha xD Fr its really cool, and each has their own pillar?? how did that happen?
Water does really cool things. In this case, a relativity vertically falling rain will be deflected by the rocks, and the sand and other sediment around the rocks will be washed away. Here's a more zoomed out photo of the area 
huh! thats wild how the erosion did that!

Golden orb weaver behind my greenhouse.
We were hit with a nasty ice storm a few weeks ago and I found this lichen in the yard after. It's like a nature made snow globe.


The bike, an old Chiang Jiang CJ750, belonging to a good friend of mine needed some work. It was down on power, hard to start and had some electrical gremlins. I made a new wiringharness as the old wires were pinched and grounding out all sorts of places and gave it a new starter relay, the old one were only rated for 6 volts and would stick on from time to time. The carbs got cleaned and the valves adjusted. Now it runs like a champ and starts better than most new cars.

I generally don't take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he's the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.
Now if that aint a big nut idk what is haha, seeing the "worlds biggest" anything in USA was probably super funny to see x)
Lots of the "worlds largest" attractions in America are made to gain tourist attention, like the worlds largest picnic basket, pistachio, etc. They're usually in areas people wouldn't normally go. This one is at PistachioLand, which is a large pistachio farm near White Sands National Park, so it's not necessarily in the middle of nowhere (but maybe a little). They do make a lot of really good pistachio based snacks. Different flavor roasted nuts, pistachio ice cream, red and green chili based foods like jerky or jams. It's definitely a tourist trap but the nuts they make are good, local and not from Wonderful Pistachios which has terrible quality control and less flavor options.
If anyone here ever heads down to see White Sands, definitely try the garlic or green chili roasted pistachios there.
Once USA becomes safe to visit, we have so many bucket list stuff to do there including a long train trip where we stay at some key spots for a bit to camp and enjoy plenty of sights :>
Once USA becomes safe to visit
But that's 2045. I'm not camping at 70! I'll be making my own pilgrimage to hanauma bay to remember my uncle and, by then, my mum; and probably that's it for travel at that age.
What is it with the US and doing landmarks in ridiculous sizes?
Quite funny but also weird
Hey, I know that pistaccio! I hope you didn't try any wines...
We didn't really do any drinking while we were there, what's wrong with their wines?
Count yourself lucky. Southern New Mexico wines are without a doubt the worst, sweetest wines in the world. They get a little better in northern New Mexico, but still not quite good.

It's been a while since I took a picture.
Some context for this otherwise mundane photo:
This is on a college campus.
This man does not work for Grounds.
This was his transportation to a community event.
He.. Drove his lawnmower to a comunity event?! xD Must've been good! but does he not have a bike or anything? :(
I don't think it will shock anybody to learn it was a free all day Bluegrass show.
He felt he had to mowe his ass over there
Top of Mailbox Peak. These birds were everywhere. I assume due to people sharing food when they hit the top.


Nice! Me and the family hiked to the top of Pinyon Peak, Monterey County, California last weekend.
holy guacamole that sight and the little bird Aaa 🥺💕 Mailbox Peak is in Washington yeah? It's such a beautiful state (very cold though!)
Yeah it is in Washington. We got lucky it was not raining and super cold that day. It's been downpour after downpour the past month.
Incredible photo! Wowzers. /c/birding would love to have you.
AWWWEEEE OH MY GOSH THEYRE SO CUUUTE!!! 🥺💕💕💕💕💕💕 even heart shaped and everything AAA Asodigfheroiuhgeriuahgiu
His name is Hannibal Barka and he is a poodle/Aussie cattle dog mix. He's an affectionate little cuddle bug and can jump like a kangaroo.
Right outside my bedroom window. A couple of nights ago in the north of Sweden.

I was recently in New Zealand, this is a photo that shows the blue pools in the mount aspiring national Park. The water is the bluest/clearest I've ever seen.
It wasn't my favourite place In new Zealand, nor the prettiest, but the water is so incredibly blue
Woooahh that is so fucking blue and pretty! And not the prettiest you say?! @—@

He passed away yesterday. It was peaceful though.
I know this hurts so much. But if there’s any comfort in it, he got to spend his whole life with you, loved and cared for from beginning to end. You were literally the best part of his life, and he knew he was loved every single day.
What was his name? Looks like a sweet one
Hugs, blessings, and prayers for you, my friend. It's never easy when our fuzzy family has to leave us. :( He seems like a really lovely cat who loved you dearly. ❤️
We’re so sorry Mü passed on, can tell you gave them so much love to the cutie, they look so peaceful with you too.
