The Shell https://www.artic.edu/artworks/29253/
In the 17th century, seashells became popular collectible objects because they were considered rare and exotic. They also became common subjects for still-life paintings known as Vanitas, which symbolically represent the transience of life. The etchings of both Wenceslaus Hollar and Rembrandt van Rijn could represent the simultaneous beauty and fragility of existence. While still lifes in general are exceedingly rare in Rembrandt’s work, Hollar’s etching (1996.609) comes from a series of seashells, consisting of 38 plates. Rembrandt’s shell could have been inspired by Hollar’s work, though Rembrandt’s decision to render the shell in a three-dimensional space represents a marked difference between the two etchings.

Just like me, this flower is grabbing every drop of sun that she can.

Focus is on single purple flower in a patch on the edge of the ocean. The sun is setting in the background and everything is bathed in golden light.

#ShowYourStripes Day!

Temperature change in Japan and the stripes of the city near where I live. Like many countries, Japan has been breaking high temperature records in recent years. But yesterday, I was happy to find tiny baby frogs on hydrangea flowers! 🐸

Brave to a point. This adventurous little #orangutan amused the onlookers when he came in with his mother to feed at the #Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. He roamed around, but was nearly always within arm’s reach of mom. #Sepilok #Borneo #Sabah #Malaysia

The inflorescences of a spiny plant. Each set looks like a purple pineapple on a platter of spiky purple leaves.

An unforgettable night in the mountains. I was planning on just shooting the milky way from here, but when I saw the moon line up with the lake... I knew what I had to do.

Stars on the river. 👀
The twinkle of light on the surface of the calm river. It looks like the stars of the Milky Way and Christmas decorations.

The bud before opening is cute, too.🪷 #lotus
The lotus bud is light pink and sits on a long stem. It looks like a slender onion with darker pink lines on its skin. Below the bud are several large, pale green leaves. The leaves are wavy, oval-shaped, and slightly similar to taro leaves.

This has been a devastating month, on a personal level and for all of LA.

A bright spot was getting to witness the recent rescue of hundreds of tidewater gobies -- tiny endangered fish -- from a lagoon scorched by the Palisades fire. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Though they are hard to tell from the rocks, I counted 35 green sea turtles in this pic. Tell me I'm wrong! 🦑🐍

Many large turtles piled together on a beach, spread out among black lava rocks that look like more turtles!

A view of the sea and a low mountain that looks like papercutting. The black triangular silhouette of Mt. Kaimon merges with the shape of a woman walking on the rocks. The sky and the sea shine in white gold at dusk. Small white clouds float on the top of the mountain.
