Let me paint the sky
A #magnanimous blue
With words that won’t make you cry
For more than a few
The heavens may wish to pry
But like morning dew
They’ll disappear with a content sigh
& I’ll continue to paint the night sky

Boy of free spirit Fossicking shoreline To what today A gem Precious shell Unexpected thing But chance upon a thwarted gull Lethargy of storm and sea Flabbergasted Don’t worry Can I help A yield to a read of trust Days in care and wellness attend Fortune and favour A look to the sea Be free my friend A magnanimous reward

A Long-tailed Tit is captured mid-flight, silhouetted against the golden light of a rising sun. Its delicate wings are fully outstretched, glowing amber at the edges as the sunlight filters through. The blurred outline of trees forms a dark contrast in the background, framing the bird’s graceful ascent. A perfect moment of movement and light, reflecting the lengthening days of early spring.

Brighter mornings, a lighter step, and a Long-tailed Tit soaring towards spring...

Happy #FlyDay!

We saw beautiful Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos fly overhead while we were camping, they have a distinctive bouncy flight as if they're held up by string #birds #art #drawing #cockatoo #australia

Yep. Would be tested, integrated pack to cell.

Hm have to back Alonso here.

Popular Archeology - Exploring Ancient Understandings of Meteorites in Archaic Societies

Ancient views on Meteorites: Meteoritic artifacts appear as early as the dawn of Egypt’s Early Dynastic Period, approximately 4,500 years ago. It was reported that beads in northern Egypt had very high concentrations of nickel, typical of meteoritic iron. popular-archaeology.com/article/expl...

Strikes on Iran show why quitting fossil fuels is more important than ever Reducing oil dependence and boosting renewables and electric transport is often framed as climate policy. But it is also vital to energy security and national security.

If you turn it clockwise
my heart will not unlock—
its cogs don't spin
so cleanly

there is a gentle knack,
few have ever cracked
& I can't offer
any advice—

only my heart knows
how it works

but once in a magical
blue moon,
another heart ticks
in rhyme with mine—

the lock turns

& my heart
opens.

Amazingly this is my first Robin photo. They are only a winter visitor to the area around Pinoso and are very skulking. A few breed in different habitat about 40 minutes away. This one was giving it some! #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #canonphotography #robin

Would that we could sit alone
Mist rising from the cataract's foam
And scratch our names into the stone
Like the others did
In the simplicity of nice
Before we were

My photo shows the so-called ‘Trier Gold Treasure’ in a museum display case. It is a Roman coin hoard made up of some 2,650 gold aurei. The small round gold coins are spread randomly in a dense pile across a light-coloured display case surface. To the upper right of the coin mound is the broken bowl-shaped bottom of the original copper alloy vessel that held the hoard. The metal is coloured green with corrosion. Several gold coins are scattered inside the bowl. In the lower left corner of the display case is another large, irregular fragment of the original container. Museum information label: In 1993, a bronze vessel with 2650 Roman gold coins (aurei) is discovered in Trier. It is the largest Roman gold coin treasure ever found. The Aureus was in the 1st and 2nd Century the standard coin of the Roman gold minting with an average weight of 7.27 g, with a very high fineness of approx. 980/1000. The coins depict 29 different emperors, empresses or relatives of the imperial house. The oldest coins were minted between 63 and 64 AD, the youngest between 193 and 196 AD. The coins were inside the vessel, which was accidentally discovered by an excavator, rolled up in leather bags. The bags were decorated with leather straps and closed enamel seal capsules. The treasure revealed numerous secrets in its scientific processing: it probably did not represent private assets, but a state treasury that was carefully managed and over a longer period of time and enlarged. During a civil war, the gold coins were finally buried in a cellar in 196 AD and then fell into oblivion. Presumably the former administrator of the treasury took his knowledge of the hiding place with him to the grave.

The Trier Gold Hoard!

The largest #Roman gold coin hoard ever found!

More than 2,650 Roman aurei, weighing 18.5 kg, were discovered inside a bronze vessel wrapped in leather bags, during construction work in 1993. The coins date from 63 AD to 196 AD.
