Not that anyone asked, Artemis, the moon goddess, is the twin of Apollo, the sun god, in Greek mythology. She’s also the goddess of hunting, maidens and interestingly, childbirth. Her Roman name is Diana.

What I find interesting is that it took them over 50 years to get the name of lunar mission right #space #greekMythology

A low-angle view, looking up at a narcissus against a bright blue sky.

Taken earlier today in full sunlight, this perspective gives the flower a sense of presence—almost as if it’s reaching upward, surrounded by others softly fading into the background. By shooting wide open at f/2.6, the foreground stays sharp while the rest gently dissolves into color and light.

The name “narcissus” traces back to the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man who became so captivated by his own reflection that he could not look away, eventually fading at the water’s edge. According to the story, the flower bloomed where he was found. While it’s a myth, it does say something timeless about perception, reflection, and how easily we can become absorbed in what we see.

Scientifically, narcissus species are among the early bloomers of spring, using stored energy in their bulbs to flower before many other plants emerge. This gives them a head start in capturing sunlight and attracting pollinators.

Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Sigma 24–70 Art, ISO 100, f/2.6, 1/500 sec.

In the meantime -- here's a throwback to the very important discussion we had about whether bears had tails (bc of the myth the Zeus took a bear by the tail and threw it into the night sky to create Ursa Major)...
