Wow that’s a great observation beautiful how the world works even for such gross little creature as grub parasiteThey blue herons fish daily in my 4 ponds. I have noticed last time I caught some bass and cleaned them they had yellow grub parasites. I believe snails, fish and herons are part of its life cycle.
Looks very beautiful, peaceful and tranquilThis fish pond was just outside the doctors clinic we went to yesterday had some nice koi in there View attachment 19118279
You got some big sky ...how is the stargazing?
Quite calming while waiting to see the doc. Not a bad example of a well maintained traditional garden.Looks very beautiful, peaceful and tranquil
where are the best places in the US for low light pollution and star gazing?
I talked a Malaysian from KL a while back and he said they hadn’t seen the stars in a couple decades..... very sadI’ve got plenty of country around me, my old property I could walk out on the back deck and look skyward & across the valley. It was outstanding now I have to hike a little.
That’s crazy I can see them every single night right outside my bedroom window in the village… But for real stargazing, I would go out right after a full moon on the dark night, out into my back meadow at the farm house, maybe with a pair of binoculars would be primoI talked a Malaysian from KL a while back and he said they hadn’t seen the stars in a couple decades..... very sad

You can’t miss it dozens of satellites in a train style formation slowly moving across the night sky lasting for 10 minutes or more.... tripped me the hell out first time I saw it!I’m not sure if I’ve seen that, but I definitely and often quite easy to pick out is regular satellites in the night sky very slowly moving tiny flashing specs
