Good morning. 🌳🌳🌳

1 April 2025

I just returned from Moon Base Alpha this morning. This secret Space Force facility, located on the far side of the moon, was originally established by the German Luftwaffe in 1943 with extraterrestrial assistance. In 1945, the American Air Force covertly took control of the base. Renowned scientist and engineer Wernher von Braun played a crucial role by providing vital information that enabled the USAF to secure the base swiftly. With the creation of the Space Force as a new branch of the armed forces, management of the base naturally transitioned to them. The existence of Moon Base Alpha was recently disclosed to the public via The History Channel. Ah, and remember—on a day like this, not everything is as it seems. Happy April Fools'!

Floral Threads of Spring This image beautifully showcases oak tree catkins swaying from slender branches. The catkins are long, delicate clusters of yellow-green flowers, highlighted against a blurred background. Their intricate texture and natural drape capture the essence of early spring, as the oak tree begins its annual reproductive cycle. The composition emphasizes the vibrancy and elegance of nature in its small details.

We've gone from days around -20C/-4F to +4 to +8C/39 to 46F still below freezing at night. Not exactly spring, but out of sight the trees will soon be getting ready for #Spring activity- like these #catkins from last spring (not an early one, this was May 01). #Aspen catkins are cute and fluffy, but #BalsamPoplar ! Some of the most beautiful #flowers of the year (before they fully open is the best time).

Two small greyish vertical branches form an X with a couple of smaller twigs near the centre/crossing. Just above that centre a cluster of several catkins hangs from one of those twigs. The catkins are several cm long two of them still mostly closed showing deep red of the outside of the many many tiny flowers. the third has opened along one side, so still red behind and below, but along one side open to show a chain of yellow from the structures of the tiny flowers. Behind a blurry grey background of more branches and trunks.
