Dilophosaurus waits their turn for the swing.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands before a pewter dragon with red gemstone eyes that is holding a little wizard on her tail. The dragon's neck is turned so that both the dragon and wizard are looking at one another. All three are atop a wooden box with birds and flowers painted on the top. A green puff fills the background with the faint, out of focus black body of a bass guitar hanging on a very light green wall.

Dilophosaurus just missed the last piece of pie.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands over a silver, empty pie tin that once held a little apple pie. Both are atop a white stove with the very edge of an unused burner seen in the upper left corner.

Dilophosaurus has the ink but not the printer.

#DailyDilophosaurus #Dilophosaurus #Ink #Printers #Office #Dinosaurs
A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots holds a black ink cartridge for a Canon printer and realizes that they do not have a printer. An orange tab adorns the still packaged cartridge with the "Canon" logo visible. The label shows that it is a PG-243 FINE Cartridge. Both are atop a brown wooden desk.

The Vartry River was absolutely raging today at Devil's Glen! 🌊 Days of heavy rain have turned the waterfall into a thundering torrent & I could actually feel the rumble in my chest.

A vertical shot of a powerful waterfall crashing down over dark, wet rocks. The water is a chaotic mass of white foam and spray, indicating very high water levels. In the foreground, thin, leafless tree branches reach in from the left, silhouetted against the bright white water. The scene is moody and atmospheric, with mist rising from the base of the falls.

‚What's up? 👀‘

Motiv:
Nahaufnahme einer Katze, frontal fotografiert. Der Kopf füllt nahezu den gesamten Bildausschnitt. Die großen, runden Augen sind zentral platziert und bilden den klaren Blickfang. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf, rechts ist schemenhaft ein zylindrischer Gegenstand zu erkennen.

Stimmung & Wirkung:
Ruhig, konzentriert und leicht intensiv. Der direkte Blick der Katze erzeugt Nähe und eine stille Spannung. Die Schwarzweiß-Darstellung verstärkt den ernsten, zeitlosen Eindruck.

Technische Details:
Bildformat: Tierporträt / Nahaufnahme.

Farbe:
Schwarzweiß. Weiche Grauabstufungen dominieren, mit deutlichen Kontrasten in Augen, Nase und Fellstruktur.

Schärfentiefe:
Sehr geringe Schärfentiefe. Die Augen und das Gesicht der Katze sind scharf, während der Hintergrund stark verschwimmt.

Lichtverhältnisse:
Weiches, diffuses Licht. Keine harten Schatten. Gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung des Gesichts, mit leichten Reflexionen in den Augen.

View from the icy edge of a river, mist rising and partially obscuring the opposite shore. A metal bridge in the background and a tall building highlighted by the pink light of the sunrise is reflected in the water. The sky is a clear blue.

Dilophosaurus throws the switch.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots hangs from a light switch in the "up" position by their tail. A golden plate surrounds the switch on an otherwise white wall. A brown door frame is in the lower right.

Dilophosaurus continues to "tank" it to the streets.

#DailyDilophosaurus #Dilophosaurus #ICE #MeltICE #Fascism #Resist #Resistance #Dinosaurs
A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots rides atop a grey armadillo named Tank who is trampling a white and black Imperial Stormtrooper while two other stormtroopers (one wearing an orange patch on his right shoulder) run away with their hands in the air like the pathetic cowards they are. Another stormtrooper with an orange patch upon his right shoulder brandishes a gun towards Dilophosaurus and Tank from the sidelines like a wuss.

Orgyia antiqua 🦋

Le bombyx antique, ou l'Etoilée, est présent dans de nombreux milieux où ses chenilles consomment des feuilles de caducs.
Mais c'est bien sa chenille qui attire l'attention avec sa pilosité répartie en pinceaux de différentes couleurs.

Chenille de la légende sur une feuille entre ombre et lumière.
Chenille violacée avec des points rouge, une touffe de poils sombre comme une queue, deux fausses antennes pileuses en prolongement de la tête, et quatre pinceaux de poils jaune répartit à la suite sur le dos.

What nice weather.

#Snow #Snowfall #SnowStorm #Winter
A look out on my deck this morning after a good 60cm of snow fell over the past 24 hours. The snow covers the sliding door up to the handle with a drift on the right side going up to the slanted roof of the garage. Another drift in the back is up against the wooden railings. An above ground pool is on the left side of the yard, with a brown gazebo on the right ahead of an old, stained shed. In the distance are three houses on the opposite street with fences between them. The houses are (from left to right) white, dark blue, and beige.
