There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female.
But the heart and soul have much more personality.
It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words.

We report: when we listened to weather predictions this morning, and no rain was announced for the whole day, we heard our expert snort quietly. It did not take very long for them to be justified. It was true, however, that it sometimes did not rain, and the sky was blue then.

this may not look interesting at first, but you are witnessing entire planetary systems being born, just like our own solar system.

somewhere out there, could be another planet with life.

We report in the pink few minutes of sunrise. In the morning, the sun veers more and more northeast from its wintry southeast position - although it is not any warmer that we can tell. We follow a host of sparrows from tree to tree as we are trying to dodge a very thin drizzle.

#dtawinter2026 day 2 from a beautiful view from Gran Paradiso in Italy 🏔️🇮🇹 A busy start for me, but I’m having so much fun seeing everyone create. If you’d like to paint or draw mountains with us, photo references are available on my profile!

We report: there is enough fog that we keep wondering whether there is something wrong with our eyes. We could easily get lost in there. The landmarks we take note of disappear in short distance, and we do not see them whenever we retrace our steps. Luckily, we are not lost.

See that larger white blob at lower left, and the smaller blob to its right?

That's Earth and the Moon.

We report in generally stormy weather: it is quite windy, and quite rainy as well. Nothing is terrible, but there is a lot of weather happening, and it is reflected in big, liquid clouds spanning several lengths of sky. We notice that some leaves had yet to fall from their trees.
