The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. It decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is particularly useful in many fields, such as signal processing, physics, and engineering, because it allows for analysing the frequency characteristics of signals. The Fourier Transform provides a bridge between the time and frequency domains, enabling the analysis and manipulation of signals in more intuitive and computationally efficient ways. The result of applying a Fourier Transform is often represented as a spectrum, showing how much of each frequency is present in the original signal.

f^(ξ)=∫−∞∞f(x) e−i2πξxdx,∀ξ∈R.

Inverse Fourier Transform:
f(x)=∫−∞∞f^(ξ) ei2πξxdξ,∀x∈R.

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.

🧵 1 Here we are, more or less halfway between Winter Solstice + Spring Equinox! (Thanks to @mirabilos I've recently learned more about the calculation of #CrossQuarter Days: it's not so straightforward!)
Anyway, for me a general idea of mid-way works- I'll make my natural observations over several days anyway, and if I have time/ energy for ritual, it will depend on work/weather!

1-A bit of a mound rises from a snowy pasture- where the soil was piled when a cattle watering dugout was made long ago. It's a late winter afternoon, maybe an hour from sunset and the many little lumps and crests and ridges in the snow (made from cattle tracking around then wind blowing snow) on the mound have deep blue shadows on this side away from the sun. Behind the mound we can see a bit more of the snowy pasture then a line goes all the way across of low dark willows with here and there- mostly to the right- some smallish poplars sticking out above. We can't see how far this treed area goes exactly, but get a glimpse of another sliver of silvery snow much farther back where the ground rises a bit. Farther still are more shadowy trees and on the horizon, barely discernible, we see the foothills blue/hazy blending into the partly clouded sky (mountains behind invisible in cloud). A Line of modest fluffy clouds caps a slightly darker blue-grey with sunset highlights area above the mountains, and above those clouds the sky is faintly overcast pale grey with a hint of violet-coral!
2-Across an area of rather smooth snow broken by many small poplar suckers along with occasional other small woody things and the occasionalbit of dry grass or thistle, a loose row (a few metres wide) of youngish (maybe mid-size in diameter, at most, many skinnier) but tall follows a fenceline from left to right. Beyond we see more snowy ground and more distant low willows and trees.The soft barely golden white ball of sun shines between the trunks and branches from a dull blue sky with bits of cloud, a little less than halfway up the trees as it westers, casting long blue linear shadows from the trees on the snow in the foreground.
