Ask Lemmy

The recent lunar eclipse, taken in Brisbane, Australia!

There was a hill with snow on it.

I have a project at a former surface mine/quarry and saw an area where recent rain eroded away sediment surrounding the gravel but not directly under it. Each rock was supported by its own column.

Golden orb weaver behind my greenhouse.

We were hit with a nasty ice storm a few weeks ago and I found this lichen in the yard after. It's like a nature made snow globe.

The bike, an old Chiang Jiang CJ750, belonging to a good friend of mine needed some work. It was down on power, hard to start and had some electrical gremlins. I made a new wiringharness as the old wires were pinched and grounding out all sorts of places and gave it a new starter relay, the old one were only rated for 6 volts and would stick on from time to time. The carbs got cleaned and the valves adjusted. Now it runs like a champ and starts better than most new cars.

I was recently in New Zealand, this is a photo that shows the blue pools in the mount aspiring national Park. The water is the bluest/clearest I've ever seen.

It wasn't my favourite place In new Zealand, nor the prettiest, but the water is so incredibly blue

Right outside my bedroom window. A couple of nights ago in the north of Sweden. 

It's been a while since I took a picture.

Some context for this otherwise mundane photo:

This is on a college campus.

This man does not work for Grounds.

This was his transportation to a community event.

I generally don't take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he's the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.

Top of Mailbox Peak. These birds were everywhere. I assume due to people sharing food when they hit the top.

He passed away yesterday. It was peaceful though.

Saw this pretty big moth on the ground. Had to put my hand in the shot for a sense of scale. Looking at it now it seems like it was taken mid-afternoon but this was around 1am.

This horse with her fole I saw while walking the dogs yesterday.

I built a 3D model of a neat library

A meeting I walked in on when I came home from work:

(I only have 2 cats by the way)

A mural at a local train station:

And the border between Germany and the Netherlands:

A bear-safe venison storing shack, typical from the North of Finland, moved and rebuilt in an open-air museum in Helsinki

Not cool, but cute

Here’s a Lego model of Dulles international airport inside Dulles international airport.

It was a pretty great piss.

I like to go hiking in remote, less-traveled parts of the bush. I found these motorcycle boots discarded in a random area. There was other junk around too. In all my hiking, there was 3 times I thought I might find a body or shallow grave, and this was one of them.

Here is a big ol' spider that I almost walked into,:

And a cluster of caterpillars taking shelter from the rain:

I'm painting an iron maiden for my misbehaving dice. Had to share it with my TTRPG group.

A roadrunner visited my back yard! The cats are asking me if they can have an "Acme™ Rocket Bike."

Bee 👍

I saw a CH-47, which is unusual enough that I had to snap a pic:

Yesterday, we had a cow that jumped from the wagon and ran off. Eventually found it stuck in some bushes. It's not a very good picture, but can you spot the cow?

Here is a Ban!

It's the Romanian cent (Bani in plural).

You saw it, now you're banned.

uh, "cool enough to take a photo of" and "took a photo of" are different. here's a face my cat made my wife and i keep sending back and forth at each other instead of :P

LOOK AT HIM HE'S SUCH A GOOBER

At a convention...

Is that Museo del Ferrocarril de Madrid??

Also:

It got taken down from the cats sub for some reason. I'm sorta WOOFFing at a farm and they have 21 cats. Yes, I know there's only 14 in the pic.

Behold. Houndbeast. Its not art. It might not even be cool. But she's a good girl.

Went to a local cherry blossom festival yesterday.

They weren’t fully bloomed yet (maybe around 80%), but still looked amazing.

Took this photo just at the moment the bananaquit decided to fly off, which gave a neat view of its feathers

Well let's see...

Ah right. This one.

Some context; Burger King is doing a "spicy honey and goats cheese" thing. I was interested, so I bought one. But the taste made me...

>:(

So I made my own at home. Yes, including making the spicy honey sauce from scratch.

Radio Flyer graveyard

This bird was just chilling next to me when sitting on a bench

Con trail through a sun dog.

Edit: Com to Con...my bad.

Was at my first concert this weekend, never seen one of these before and thought it was funny

This is my girl Hennifer Lopez, about a month ago when the northeast got that big blizzard.

Idk if she got into a fight or if this was just some late molting, but either way, those pin-feathers look badass.

One dear friend points out a patch of sunlight -refracted through champagne in a plastic glass on top of a trig point - she wants in the picture I'm about to take during a birthday remembrance moment for another much loved friend. It was a beautiful day. Harboro Rocks, Derbyshire, UK.

Cut up a tomato today only to be greeted with vivipary, which cause of the recent popular lemmy post, prompted me to actually plant it in some soil. 🤞 Hopefully I get something worthy of a post.
