Liatris ligulistylis, also known as meadow blazingstar, is irresistible to Monarch butterflies. They flock to the purple flower for the August/September monarch migration: #AGoodPlace

This dog lets its guard down completely with a trusted companion, and ethologists say that's not random. It's genuine social attachment.

The Rotten Fish Nebula, LDN 1251, resembles a decaying fish. Captured on moonless nights in Bortle 1 skies for 17.5 hrs at f/3.9 using my Askar FRA500 telescope.

I LOVE this globe, which I found in the GEOMAR lobby (a German ocean research institute) this week. Exaggerated topography of both land and sea, showing the big picture and the beautiful intricacy. I want one!

This mosaic is from Italica, Spain (the birthplace of Trajan and Hadrian). It shows a lion looking poised for conflict - it adopts an aggressive stance, bears its teeth, bristles its mane. It’s a superb image of fierce strength
