It seems like we have lots of new users. Welcome! I post mostly #photography, and most of that is #Macro of buggies/ #spiders/ #nature, but also #cats, #skies, and random things. Other things get posted too, science, #art, #games, #random thoughts and occasional #silliness.

Two tiny humans (1?) are being carried in different directions down a busy street. Their mums cross paths and Tiny Human Strangers reach out their hands, momentary touching fingers, expressions marvelling at seeing another so small as themselves. (1)

FUN STORY:
We don't know exactly why or how underground nuclear explosive test containment actually works.
I'm not kidding.
Best read on the topic in public is "Caging the Dragon: The Containment of Underground Nuclear Explosions."

Took me 4 hours to go from a bucket of mixed leaves and seeds to an envelope of 90% seeds. All by hand. No sorter or filter.

It's a metallic green scarab-type beetle, today. I'm on a green insect roll.
The ref for this had no identifying notes attached, so if anyone has details, share them!

my favorite thing about a texas freeze is the very serious advice from the news and government on how to use a whataburger cup to insulate your outdoor spigots.
it is always a whataburger cup.

I write a lot of words, not always creatively, but I was proud of how I started a text to a friend this morning...
"It's always fun to walk into work and find the detritus of last night's debacles still drifting down like freshly irradiated fallout."
Left with no further comment.

Good amongst all the bad - there’s a new children’s art museum being built here and this mural went up last week. Doesn’t it look great?
A few months ago this was a drab abandoned former bank building.
