I love Ian's work and am looking forward to listening to this episode to learn more about him.

I always enjoy this tradition from Michael Frye. Another lovely collection of photos from one of the best in this field.

I appreciate this post every time I see it.

New article over on my blog > Entering a photo competition? Consider this advice. smallscenes.com/blog/photo-com… The photo is of a spiral aloe, which has to be one of the most beautiful plants on the planet. It is also one of the only photos I have ever entered in a photo competition.

This temporary lake in Death Valley is extending its stay. Rain from a potent atmospheric river filled up the Badwater Basin this month. These enhanced-color #Landsat images show a shallow lake several kilometers across, with water emphasized in blue. go.nasa.gov/42PdjbK

The Stoat saw the lawn had been turned into a meadow and he went mad with joy. A pile of hay! - just like the good old days...
