Miscellaneous set #457:

( 1+ 2) Mousewhisker and/or Hazeltail. They are literally, identical.

(3 +4) Chonky Lionblaze; whenever I visualize Lionblaze in my head, this is what I see. He's just chonk.

( 5) For years I had thought that Sorreltail was a red (orange) bicolor; red and white cat. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing when I read she was actually a variation of a tortie. Anyway, here's a pic of the power couple of her + Brackenfur in my delulu world.

Tucson, Arizona-based photography enthusiast Greg McCown recently managed to capture a shot of a lifetime. While shooting landscapes near the small town of Marana, Arizona, McCown snapped this beautiful photo showing both a lightning bolt and a rainbow in the sky.

A photographer looking for storms to capture instead caught the sight of rare red lightning sprites in the night sky above Arizona. Greg McCown was leading a storm photo tour on June 16 and on the day there were no storms. So, McCown took the group to Windy Point on top of Mount Lemmon. “A large storm moved clear down in Mexico about 150 miles south of our position at Windy Point lining up perfectly with the Milky Way core,” explains McCown. “After some instruction on how to photograph sprites, most in our group were able to catch these elusive gems.”

Thanks to his experience and special tools, photographer Jason Rinehart was able to position himself to capture a perfectly-timed photo of a bolt of lightning striking underneath a double rainbow. Rinehart operates his photography business Hartlight Photography out of Buchanan, Virginia. He says that while most know him for his work in long exposure light painting, he says he’s just as passionate about capturing nature’s natural lighting that comes in the form of storms.

Photographer Dan Martland is well-known for his exquisite photography of New York City but he outdid himself yesterday afternoon (April 3, 2024) during a violent thunderstorm that saw a bolt of lightning strike the Statue of Liberty. Martland was on hand to capture the mega photo of an enormous lightning bolt directly hitting Lady Liberty’s torch. “This afternoon’s passing storm didn’t disappoint,” Martland writes on X (formerly Twitter). “The Statue of Liberty getting zapped by a bolt of lightning.”

Garden Heroes

A Cardinal is a Seed-Spreading Hero. After the bird eats berries, seeds left behind in its poop can land in the soil, sprout, and eventually grow into new plants. Photograph By Outtakes/Getty Images

When a Hummingbird Sips Nectar From a Flower, it also picks up pollen, a fine powder that helps plants reproduce. The pollen sticks to the bird’s feathers and is transferred to the next flower the flier visits. Photograph By Oondrej Prosicky/SutterStock

Took a break from studying to make sure I don't overdo it, and ended up drawing a costume once again! I actually loosely based this one on Ringo from Touhou Project. I randomly remembered that the shorts Ringo wears are called "pumpkin pants," and then I made pumpkin pants that look like an actual pumpkin! The orange beads are supposed to be hemisphere orb shaped, while the glitter circles on the brown are more like glitter adhesive fabric that's flush to the shirt. I really like it!

Hangyodon space stuff! I have a hard time finding information on these, if anyone has any pointers for me.. It's my favorite theme I know of, but I don't know anything about it! Or if there's more I haven't seen! The best information I've got is that it is also a LINE theme, LOL.

Alright man
