Merry Christmas! Keep that Christmas magic alive.

#Christmas #Cat
A gray tabby cat poking his head through the branches of an artificial Christmas tree. His face is lit up by the tree lights, and he is wide-eyed with wonder at all the amazing lights and climbing possibilities.

An eclectic assortment of the magnificent dead trees of Deadvlei contrast against a red dune, clothed in Namibia's warm twilight. A surreal, uniquely beautiful scene, so typical of this special country!

Some fun photos I took at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo last month.

#Photography #Omaha #HenryDoorlyZoo #Animals
A close up of a green frog with white spots and big yellow eyes. It sits in some jungle foliage and faces away from the camera. A springhaas and bush-tailed porcupine cuddling. They were sleeping together moments before the picture and are good friends. A big, grumpy-looking fish resting in the sand at the bottom of it's tank. It has rock-like camouflage. A monkey balancing high up on a rope. It makes a pose like the Barrel of Monkeys toys as it walks.

Some mornings are easier than others …
As the morning mist retreats it leaves the waterway bright and reflective as blue sky arrives.

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.

I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

It’s like a step back in time until the mist fades to blue sky …
An old world feel surrounds the trail as the mist starts to fade and blue skies take over.

A large tree that has lost its leaves at the edge of a brown, overgrown field. Some smaller trees and shrubbery also line the edge of the field. In the field, there are some bushes with red leaves near the tree line and some bushes without leaves in shadow closer to the camera.

I like playing with #photography but I'm not sure if I'd consider myself a hobbyist #photographer at this point. I have been thinking I should edit my photos more. This article is an interesting perspective on that. I do every step talked up until post processing.

I was waiting in a drive-through for lunch and these berries caught my eye.

Red berries in the dense broad leaves of a bush. Sunlight reflects off the leaves, and a curvy branch without leaves pokes through.

We found a name for him! We're calling him Zigzag or (probably most of the time) Ziggy for short.

Thanks for all the suggestions. It was fun to see what everyone would come up with.

Dinosaur 'mummies' preserved so well that artists can recreate their appearance in great detail
Scientists discovered that some dinosaur “mummies," such as Edmontosaurus annectens, weren’t preserved skin but clay molds formed by microbes
