nose touch!!!

Two small brown rabbits, touching noses together. They are on a gravel path with a little strip of grass in the middle. The sun is very directional from the left and shining through their ears. They are adorable and very small.

The movie poster depicts a large catfish, known as a Wels, prominently displayed in the foreground. The fish is shown with its mouth wide open, showcasing its large, toothy interior. Its body is dark gray with a textured, mottled appearance, and it has long, thin barbels extending from its chin. The Wels is swimming in a deep blue underwater environment, with the water's surface visible at the top of the image.

Above the fish, the word "WELS" is written in bold, red capital letters, occupying the upper portion of the image. The background is a gradient of blue, transitioning from a lighter shade at the top to a darker shade at the bottom, simulating the depth of the water. In the background, a human swimmer is visible, swimming towards the surface, adding a sense of scale and context to the scene. The swimmer's arm is extended, and their head is partially submerged.

I need people to understand that there are different types of bodies and metabolisms

Some of them can cope better with heat. Some can cope better with cold

Your experiences aren't universal

This new camera continues to be the best investment ever!
Spotted these Barn Swallow chicks in Seal Rock.

Also, I think I'm a birder now?

the idea was good, but there were certain issues with the implementation

Love this new sign on the Clyde Walkway, but it definitely falls into the Keep Glasgow Weird category. It's one of a number of signs inspired by Science Fiction movies around the city's Science Centre created by A Sign of Humour.

A sign showing Godzilla stamping on a building, with the building itself visible in the background. The sign reads No Godzillas 8am to 6pm Except Sundays.

This was a first for me. Until today I'd never seen a Red-tail Hawk bathe.

I just thought of another example of the never-ending eldritch horror that is the use of modal particles in German

Komm her!
Borderline rude, impolite, kind of a threatening tone; come here! Now!

Komm mal her!
More of a "I'd like to show you something" / "I have a surprise for you" kind of tone, inviting*; would you come here for a bit?

*unless it's said in a Ruhr dialect, in which case it is absolutely threatening and someone is trying to tell you that you just made a big mistake

The Milky Way rises in a star-filled sky above the black shape of a forested hill. The galactic center, peering over the hill’s crest, glows a deeper red. An airplane’s light trail, caught in long exposure, appears to cross the galactic river perpendicularly from end to end.

A rainy summer night in Glasgow.
Thankfully my OM-1 II and 12-40mm f2.8 PRO II lens are more weather-sealed than I am.

Rainwater pooling on paving blocks creates a small puddle in which the red neon lights and oriental writing from a restaurant are reflectedBlue neon lights from a tower block hotel on Argyle Street are reflected in a large puddle and as traffic drives past the reflection is warped, creating distorted ripplesRainwater pools on the black marble surface of a low bench in St Enoch Square, reflecting a golden neon light from an LED advertising panel high on a shopping centreDroplets of rainwater settled on a shiny silver bollard pick up hints of the neon shop frontages on Buchanan Street and a shallow depth of field creates the blurry pink background and the outline of a passing stranger

Schönes Wochenende. 🐿️🐿️😍

Diese Fotos entstanden an dem Tag, an dem Lumi ihre Kinder dazu gebracht hat, ihr vom Balkon- in den Baumkobel zu folgen. Das hat sie ein paar Stunden Überzeugungskraft gekostet. 🥹

We have a new resident Tawny Frogmouth! We've seen it a number of times now, and it was on the fence opposite our house when I took my walk after work tonight.

I got the new big lens and tripod out and got some photos. Fortunately they stay still, so this 7.5s exposure worked ok.
