Are you ready? This is actually task #29 in my Green Beret Preparation and Survival Guide, but a critical one. Put all of this in a fire/waterproof lockbox you can carry. amzn.to/3BYEq5E

This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me.
From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador.

Remember that movie Entrapment? The big gig was to rob one cent from billions of accounts on New Years? That's how I feel about #AmazonPrime. But its $16/month. I purchased a part for my printer last week. COULD NOT add to cart/check out unless I said "yes" to Prime.

A close-up 'tour' of a painting of a dynamic seascape, by artist Povilas Dirgėla.
The artwork captures a powerful ocean scene with large, crashing waves.
The artist focuses on portraying the essence of the sea and the interplay of water and light.
A beautiful artwork.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

Good morning, Bluesky. For #WaterfallWednesday, a small (maybe the smallest) but permanent waterfall trickling from an old tunnel. Ok, maybe it's more of a baby rapid or a rivulet.
