The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

Not to brag on our intel community but they called it 13 days ahead of time and were off by only a few hours

A few sketchy comic panels. Spätzle removes a smiling mask of herself, revealing she is crying underneath. A hand comes from out of frame and forces the mask back on. We see Spätzle’s mom from spätzle’s perspective, leaning over her with her arm outstretched. There is a close-up of her eyes glittering behind her own mask.

well eberyone has an opinion on "soulmates" but peorsonally i believe that a soulmate is something that exists between who you find and what you do for each other. it is both found and made. both must be done every day. its work. it's perspective. it's active. it's random. it's hard. it's possible

Oystercatcher, black and white with a carrot-orange bill and a red eye, flying in front of distant godwits (?? — I don't recall).

Probably the best frame I've shot in at least a year, and I knew it the second I touched the shutter release.

MIRROR’S EDGE in 2025

An animal of ambiguous mammal species stands on four legs. It has pink fur. It has dark ears with tufts at the end. It has a spiked collar. It has shrapnel coming out of its tail. It has its mouth open to smile. Text at the top: STAY ALIVE OK? Text at the bottom: WORLD IS NOT OVER.
