Watching "The Gilded Age" drama series. I don't want to know whether Marian is being set up by this guy Raikes (with that name). He seems too perfect. Even in unguarded moments, the guy never breaks a sweat. Very suspicious!

A white panicle hydrangea flower. At the bottom is brown fence, and at the top, it fades into white. The lighting is still hazy here from forest fires and everything looks a little surreal.

Eine Szene am Ionischen Meer, Griechenland. Der hellblaue, wolkenlose Himmel und das sehr blaue ruhige Meer werden rundherum von Bäumen und Ästen, die ins Bild ragen, eingerahmt. Links befindet sich ein großer heller Felsen und etwa mittig im Wasser liegt ein weiterer, kleiner Felsen.

A scene by the Ionian Sea, Greece. The light blue, cloudless sky and the very blue, calm sea are framed by trees and branches jutting into the picture. There is a large light-coloured rock on the left and another small rock in the middle of the water.

Here's a #galaxy from #ESAEuclid's #galaxyzoo classification project. We can't tell you how far away it is and are not going to give a description, to not bias people's classification results: galaxyzoo.org

However: this galaxy could contain as many stars and planets as our #MilkyWay. #Euclid will take pictures of more than 2 billion galaxies, although many further away and hence with fewer details.

Mind blown?

Ein Faulbaumbläuling zeigte sich letzten Samstag in der Heide. Es gibt so einige Arten die wohl durch Wetter und Parasiten dieses Jahr etwas seltener sind als die Vorjahre.

Ein blauer Falter sitzt mit geschlossenen Flügeln auf einem Heidebusch mit lila Knospen. Auf den Flügeln sind einige schwarze Punkte verteilt.

I don't usually use very colorful, bright palettes, but I decided to give it a go. Flick to see the full painting (first image only shows 1/3 of the painting).

Was poking around on the Mayrent Collection for some #accordion inspiration since I've been playing around with one again. Lot of stuff I've never heard, but wow, this one from from A. Greenberg of New York in 1906 must be one of the oldest klezmer recordings ever made, although was cylinders were being made at the turn of the century so I can't say if it's the oldest. Cool stuff. "Occordion" heh.

/6.. Here are a few other, perhaps lesser known psychedelic rock bands from the SF Bay Area in the late 60s. They were all so cool in their time 😎 and, i think, interesting to consider today:

Quicksilver Messenger Service
Happy Trails (1969)
open.spotify.com/album/7d9IZA5

Blue Cheer
Vincebus Eruptum (1968)
open.spotify.com/album/3dAjO3d

Moby Grape
Wow (1968)

/5.. What else of SF Bay Area origin, was exciting folk/rock fans in the USA during the late 60s or early 70s?

On seeking to place the early Grateful Dead within their contemporary local musical context, a mandadory starting point is the psychedelic rock movement of the 60s. The Dead were not so much "of" this movement as they were allies.

Jefferson Airplane
Surrealistic Pillow (1967)

Southern emerald moth. Always a treat to find one of these. They’re fairly small but lovely moths.

A green moth with light wavy patterns in the wings. Legs and antennae are white. Classic Geometer moth form.
