A bit further east up the Douro River there is an Eiffel-designed railroad bridge, the Ponte Maria Pia, which looks somewhat similar but it is not a double-decker. Here’s a photo I took of it, with the modern replacement railroad bridge behind it. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Eiffel’s ironwork. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…dc6l I have some family there (SoCal) so I’ve been many times. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Foggy morning at Trinidad harbor, northern #California npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Southern yellowjacket #wasps, attempting to take over the hummingbird feeder. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Anoles two ways. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter First carpenter #bee sighting of the spring, visiting the mealy blue sage (Salvia farinacea) in my front #garden. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter I think I interrupted it during some kind of dirt bath meditation ritual, it was not digging, just rolling around in my flower pot with no other discernible purpose, but who knows with #squirrels. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…7t92 thanks! npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Royal Alcázar of #Sevilla npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…9uv2 thanks! I worked on Orion software, part of that was designing and testing models of the Orion components and systems and flight environment that comprise the full vehicle simulation used to develop and test the flight software in all the various test environments and laboratories, as well as used in the crew training simulators. Did your kid work in Houston or Denver (which is where most of the US part of Orion was developed)? npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…ce4k thanks! npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…sevs a valid question to ask, but of course my response is biased. My answer is we don’t even know what we don’t know about the moon. We’ve barely spent any time on or covered but the merest square meters of the surface, by humans or by robots. That’s the point of return & exploration, to advance scientific knowledge & discovery. And we have many ideas, but till we actually do it, we don’t know how to build & sustain outposts on other bodies in our solar system. Moon is where we begin. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…tw5v thanks! npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…3shg thanks! & hope you are enjoying a well deserved retirement after your years of service. In my case all my work for NASA spaceflight was as a contractor employee, but my father was NASA civil service, he started there near the beginning of Apollo in the early 60’s. So between the two of us my family has had a combined 64 continuous years supporting NASA, Apollo->Space Shuttle->Orion npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter So as of yesterday I am retired, had a 37+ year career working in #NASA human spaceflight, Space Shuttle and then the #Orion spacecraft. I set my retirement date in the hope that the #Artemis 2 mission, Orion’s first crewed flight, would have completed by then but Feb launch was delayed and by “cosmic coincidence” Artemis 2 finally launched yesterday - my final day. Very proud of all my colleagues and all the hard work we’ve done to get to this point. Onward to the #moon - and beyond. Ad astra. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Gerbera #daisy that lives in a pot on our front porch, a perennial survivor and reliable early #spring bloomer. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, southern #France npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Our resident red-bellied #woodpecker npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Lisbon npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…x2ry thank you! npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter In my car at HEB (a large TX supermarket chain) waiting for curbside groceries pickup and in the row of empty, wheeled racks in front of me were several of these great-tailed #grackles - (AKA by me PLBs, Parking Lot Birds) serenading me with their unique raucous cacophony. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter From last fall, a large orange sulphur #butterfly (Phoebis agarithe) on lantana flowers, a battered summer survivor by the looks of it.

Over 37 years working human spaceflight, starting with the Space Shuttle program. With all the turmoil following Friday’s big announcement regarding Artemis 3 & subs redirection it seems a good time as any to bow out. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…2f2m “an explosion of baroque” is an apt description for it. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter The huge & very #baroque Transparente altarpiece located in the ambulatory of the Cathedral of #Toledo, #Spain npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…ras7 yeah I have heard & now seen that happening. This is a new issue for me because I have for a few years been buying the big 30lb bags of Cardinal/Songbird seed mix they sell at Costco which didn’t have millet, or at least not nearly this amount, but the last time I went to Costco to restock I just grabbed one off the stack without looking close and didn’t realize the seed mix changed and has a LOT of millet in it. May have to find a new source… npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Why the feeder gets emptied so quickly whenever the red-belied #woodpecker shows up. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #SquirrelSaturday #photography #squirrels #BackyardWildlife #SquirrelsOfMastodon npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Bergen, #Norway npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter A black swallowtail visiting the #garden last summer. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Número 48 npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Florence npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Borgund Stave Church, #Norway npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter American goldfinch. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Uhh…howdy. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…usfv if you bothered to read my bio and had looked at my regular posts of my backyard animal visitors you would know where I live. I have spent decades on my photography work, and yes I have years of travel photos that I post on here as well. Accusing me of posting something that is AI and passing it off as one of my photos is no different than accusing an author of plagiarism without reading any their work. I mean you no ill will be please take more care before making such judgements. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…usfv absolutely not AI. And not Europe, I live in southeast Texas where we were having daytime temperatures in the 80’sF through December and into the first week of January. Don’t make AI accusations unless you know what the fuck you are talking about. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Red-bellied #woodpecker, a regular backyard visitor. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…j4se well the dogs were outside with me when I saw it so I figured it was safer at that moment to leave it up there on the furniture. When I got the dogs back inside a few minutes later and looked for it, it was gone, hopefully to a new hidey hole. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter The weather has finally turned seasonably colder here so I was surprised to see this gray tree #frog out on our patio furniture (where it blended in with the fabric quite well). We had been cleaning up leaves around there the day before so we probably roused it from a winter slumbering spot. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…gpr7 I think it was more than that, a cafe/restaurant, but this was late May at the beginning of the summer tourist season so yes, waffle cones & ice cream. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…5dlp I think I won. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…5dlp thanks, it’s funny because I was in the backyard with my camera and saw the squirrel first peeking over & then creeping over the fence, then its eyes caught mine & it just froze there like this for a couple of minutes in a mutual staring contest. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…cwqv then I should make it NutNinjas©️ (😁) npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter One of our backyard nut ninjas 🥷. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Carmel-By-The-Sea, #California npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Swans on the #Vltava npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Another blue #Monday npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…gpr7 Thanks, Monet also liked this view. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Dolceacqua, #Liguria #Italy npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…jpzy yes we are having abnormally warm weather here, even for SE Texas. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter At least somebody is getting to enjoy the January strawberries. 🍓 🐿️ npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Salamanca before sunrise. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter La Maison Rose npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Windansea Beach, #SanDiego #California npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Door Dalí npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter American Goldfinch, eating basil seeds. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Southern #Colorado npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter More of my* strawberries going to the backyard freeloaders. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Tossa de Mar npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Besalú bridge busker. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Who watches the watcher. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Bee and Mistflower npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Squirrel on the house. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Montmartre npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Bergen Harbor, #Norway npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…f8ep Matagorda Beach, Texas, night sky view looking inland. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter It’s full of…#stars. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Vøringsfossen, #Norway npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter A pod of #pelicans. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Hollowed-out center of a redwood #tree. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Hands in hands. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River at #night. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Cardinal rule. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Torrey Pines #Beach, #SanDiego npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Brunelleschi’s dome on the Duomo di #Firenze. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Floofed-up #cardinal on a chilly afternoon. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter #Monarch on mistflower.

Made for this one brief encounter. Sharing is caring. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter View into the burial chamber of Cova d'en Daina, a 4000+ year old #dolmen located near Romanyà de la Selva in #Catalonia, #Spain npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter A (nearly) empty street in Besalú. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Sagrada through the trees. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Waddell #Beach on the central #California coast. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter @nprofile…xayu The lights of two planes whose paths intersected during the long photo exposure (they were different altitudes so no collision of course). npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter You are here. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter Female northern #cardinal having a drink from the birdbath. npub1qdcdazkx4thd6tpr0xe79ptgsd8t7r7kwx3htgvf2dar586fgm6q0uwf2f Trilobyter I thought all the #monarchs were long gone, migrated off to parts further south - in fact there’s very little butterfly activity in the garden right now as you’d expect in late November - so I was surprised to find this straggler visiting the mistflower in the front #garden bed earlier this week.
