This scene appeared absolutely uninteresting to me in the summer when all the plants were covered in green leaves. But as often when most of them has fallen, much more structure and character is unveiled. Love the shots with thousands of sticks, as it remembers me to pencil strokes. And for sure, the red color complements wonderfully the white snow.

You'll bare your bones you'll grow you'll pray you'll only know
When the light appears, boy, when the light appears
You'll sing & you'll love you'll praise blue heavens above
When the light appears, boy, when the light appears
You'll whimper & you'll cry you'll get yourself sick and sigh
You'll sleep & you'll dream you'll only know what you mean
When the light appears, boy, when the light appears
You'll come & you'll go, you'll wander to and fro
You'll go home in despair you'll wonder why'd you care
You'll stammer & you'll lie you'll ask everybody why
You'll cough and you'll pout you'll kick your toe with gout
You'll jump you'll shout you'll knock you're friends about
You'll bawl and you'll deny & announce your eyes are dry
You'll roll and you'll rock you'll show your big hard cock
You'll love and you'll grieve & one day you'll come believe
As you whistle & you smile the lord made you worthwhile
You'll preach and you'll glide on the pulpit in your pride
Sneak & slide across the stage like a river in high tide
You'll come fast or come on slow just the same you'll never know
When the light appears, boy, when the light appears

This vessel appears to have broken its anchor cable or connection to a moorage buoy and then blown onto the mud flats in one of the recent wind storms. I have noticed this vessel at anchor within Cowichan Bay in the common anchorage area. As pointed out by Dave Forbes it does not appear to have propeller.
An abandoned cabin near the ghost town of Rhyolite. I shot the chair and bed springs through the window. The poor chair appears to have been thoroughly decimated by rats or other wildlife.
Happy Window Wednesday!

The sun appears briefly across the limestone of Feizor. A place with history and atmosphere. It's a wonder this shot happened at all, really. Firstly, getting up for sunrise is still an effort..... The wind was fierce and it had, moments before,blown my camera over,smashed the lens hood and unknown to me, had knocked the camera onto manual focus. So it was luck that this appears to be in focus. A difficult exposure, and the tree was blowing so wildly that it appears to be moving, even in a still! Thanks for the new location Steve!
SN/NC: Crocosmia Lucifer, Iridaceae Family
Crocosmia Lucifer are abundant eye-catching, brillliantly red, tubular flowers appearing in midsummer atop bold, slightly arching, sparsely branched 3-foot-tall stems. Its mid-green leaves are pleated and swordlike. Crocosmia makes excellent cut flowers and attract hummingbirds. Thrives in a warm, south-facing location. Site near a wall where not reliably hardy. Apply a thick layer of mulch in winter. Plants also require well-drained soil. Lift and divide clumps in spring to maintain vigor.
Crocosmia Lucifer são abundantes, atraentes, brilhantemente vermelhas, flores tubulares aparecem no meio do verão em cima de caules de 3 pés de altura, ligeiramente arqueados e escassamente ramificados. Suas folhas verdes médias são pregueadas e semelhantes a espadas. Crocosmia fazem excelentes flores de corte e atraem beija-flores. Prospera em um local quente e virado ao sul. Local perto de uma parede onde não é confiável. Aplique uma camada espessa de cobertura morta no inverno. As plantas também requerem solo bem drenado. Levante e divida os aglomerados na primavera para manter o vigor.
Crocosmia es un pequeño género de especies perennes y bulbosas de la familia de las iridáceas, nativas de los pastizales de la Provincia del Cabo en Sudáfrica. También se la encuentra en forma abundante a lo largo del Delta del Paraná, Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Existen actualmente unas 400 variedades de Crocosmias, cultivadas en todo el mundo. Gran parte de estas variedades provienen del híbrido interespecífico artificial entre Crocosmia aurea y C. potssii. Este híbrido, denominado Crocosmia x crocosmiflora ("Montbretia") fue obtenido por primera vez por Victor Lemoine en Francia en 1880. A partir de este cruzamiento se obtuvieron decenas de variedades. Crocosmia nombre genérico que deriva de las palabras griegas: "krokos": "azafrán" y "osme": "olor") alude al aroma a azafrán que desprenden sus flores cuando se las presiona.
Crocosmia Lucifer sono abbondanti fiori tubolari accattivanti, di un rosso brillante, che appaiono in piena estate in cima a steli alti 3 piedi audaci, leggermente arcuati e scarsamente ramificati. Le sue foglie di colore verde medio sono pieghettate e simili a spade. Le crocosmie producono ottimi fiori recisi e attirano i colibrì. Vive in una posizione calda, esposta a sud. Sito vicino a un muro dove non è resistente in modo affidabile. Applicare uno spesso strato di pacciame in inverno. Le piante richiedono anche terreno ben drenato. Sollevare e dividere i cespi in primavera per mantenere il vigore.
Crocosmia Lucifer zijn overvloedige opvallende, briljant rode, buisvormige bloemen die verschijnen in de midzomer bovenop gedurfde, licht gewelfde, dun vertakte 3 meter hoge stengels. De middengroene bladeren zijn geplooid en zwaardachtig. Crocosmia is een uitstekende snijbloem en trekt kolibries aan. Gedijt op een warme, op het zuiden gerichte locatie. Standplaats in de buurt van een muur waar niet betrouwbaar winterhard. Breng in de winter een dikke laag mulch aan. Planten hebben ook een goed doorlatende grond nodig. Til en verdeel bosjes in het voorjaar om de kracht te behouden.
Crocosmia Lucifer sont d'abondantes fleurs tubulaires accrocheuses, d'un rouge brillant, qui apparaissent au milieu de l'été sur des tiges audacieuses, légèrement arquées et peu ramifiées de 3 pieds de haut. Ses feuilles vert moyen sont plissées et ressemblent à des épées. Les crocosmia font d'excellentes fleurs coupées et attirent les colibris. Pousse dans un endroit chaleureux et orienté au sud. Site près d'un mur où la robustesse n'est pas fiable. Appliquez une épaisse couche de paillis en hiver. Les plantes ont également besoin d'un sol bien drainé. Soulevez et divisez les touffes au printemps pour maintenir la vigueur.
Crocosmia Lucifer sind reichlich auffällige, leuchtend rote, röhrenförmige Blüten, die im Hochsommer auf kräftigen, leicht gebogenen, spärlich verzweigten, 3 Fuß hohen Stielen erscheinen. Seine mittelgrünen Blätter sind gefaltet und schwertartig. Crocosmia sind ausgezeichnete Schnittblumen und ziehen Kolibris an. Gedeiht an einem warmen, nach Süden ausgerichteten Standort. Standort in Wandnähe, wo nicht zuverlässig winterhart. Tragen Sie im Winter eine dicke Mulchschicht auf. Pflanzen brauchen auch gut durchlässigen Boden. Heben und teilen Sie die Klumpen im Frühjahr, um die Kraft zu erhalten.
Lucifer هي أزهار أنبوبية ذات لون أحمر لامع وملفتة للنظر تظهر في منتصف الصيف فوق السيقان الجريئة والقوس قليلاً والمتفرعة التي يبلغ طولها 3 أقدام. أوراقها خضراء متوسطة مطوية وشبيهة بالسيف. تصنع Crocosmia أزهارًا ممتازة تجذب الطيور الطنانة. تزدهر في مكان دافئ مواجه للجنوب. موقع بالقرب من جدار حيث لا يمكن الاعتماد عليه هاردي. ضع طبقة سميكة من النشارة في الشتاء. تتطلب النباتات أيضًا تربة جيدة التصريف. ارفع الكتل وقسمها في الربيع للحفاظ على القوة.
クロコスミアルシファーは、目を引く、鮮やかな赤の管状の花が豊富で、真夏に大胆でわずかにアーチ型の、まばらに枝分かれした高さ3フィートの茎の上に現れます。その中緑色の葉はプリーツと剣のようなものです。クロコスミアは優れた切り花を作り、ハチドリを引き付けます。暖かく、南向きの場所で繁栄します。確実に丈夫ではない壁の近くのサイト。冬にはマルチの厚い層を適用します。植物はまた、水はけの良い土壌を必要とします。活力を維持するために、春に塊を持ち上げて分割します。
This ice appearers an old wood, in the wood need to be a special fungi that makes lots of small fissures by living from the wood . If temperatures fall slightly under 0° and humidity is high water out of the fissures makes crystals on the surface, the fungi produces gas by digesting the wood, that more water comes out the fissures and push the existing crystals forward and forward and make this fine structure
To say that Marsh Warbler is a bit of a birders' bird is an understatement. They look incredibly similar to the much commoner Reed Warbler, but only keen birdwatchers would get excited about seeing one. It took me years to get a clear photo of a common Reed Warbler because they always hide among reed stems, so I cannot believe how lucky I was to get an unobscured view of this Marsh Warbler on my first attempt, as they are also notorious skulkers. I say lucky because this one only perched momentarily in the open before bolting back to a hidden song perch. But this photo does show all of the subtle diagnostic features of Marsh Warbler; The tips of its primary feathers (wing tips) are edged pale , where these are dark-edged on Reed Warbler. Take a look on this Reed Warbler to compare: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52098887790/in/photolist Also the tertials (those feathers above the primaries on the closed wing) have a more contrasting pale edge on Marsh Warbler. The overall colour of Marsh Warbler has a subtle olive hue, and lacks any rufous tones of Reed Warbler. Finally the legs are noticeably pale whereas they appear dark on Reed Warbler.
There are about 130,000 breeding pairs of Reed Warbler in Britain whereas Marsh Warbler usually has fewer than ten breeding pairs. Two singing males had set up breeding territories less than 100m apart on the Lincolnshire coast near Chapel St Leonards last week and as I had not seen one for over 20 years, and I have never photographed one I thought I'd make the effort. I'm glad I did, though they were elusive and only gave photo-opportunities on a couple of occasions. The habitat was not quite like the previous Marsh Warblers I had seen as this one seemed to inhabit reeds, just like Reed Warbler, whereas the others I have seen have been in tall fen with Meadowsweet and Great Hairy Willowherb rather than reeds.
Grass Snake (Natrix natrix). Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve, Cambridgeshire. Saturday 25th March 2017.
A photomosaic of three images, merged using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Can be viewed large (left click or press Z), but no bigger.
One of the more instantly recognisable grass snakes at WWF, this one has a nasty scar on its right flank just behind the collar (not immediately obvious from this angle though) and appears to be missing the tip of its tail. I've nicknamed it Lucky, as in 'Lucky to be alive'.
Lucky can normally be found basking close to Cyclops (see: www.flickr.com/photos/julianhodgson/32759851664/), but is usually tightly coiled amongst the vegetation. In this instance however, Cyclops was nowhere to be seen and Lucky had nicked his place, offering the opportunity for a reasonably unobstructed shot.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rose is a perennial flowering shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species. The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp thorns. Most are native to Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. [1]
The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-shaped leaflets. The plants fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose plants range in size from tiny, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 20 metres in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which has given rise to the many types of garden roses.
The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed through Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdā, from Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian *warda (cf. Armenian vard, Avestan warda, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr).[2][3]
Attar of rose is the steam-extracted essential oil from rose flowers that has been used in perfumes for centuries. Rose water, made from the rose oil, is widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, and marmalade, or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high Vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products.
The leaves of most species are 5–15 centimetres long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. The vast majority of roses are deciduous, but a few (particularly in Southeast Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species roses have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. The ovary is inferior, developing below the petals and sepals.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Rose species that produce open-faced flowers are attractive to pollinating bees and other insects, thus more apt to produce hips. Many of the domestic cultivars are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are actually prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and R. pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight spines, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses only have vestigial prickles that have no points.
Roses are popular garden shrubs, as well as the most popular and commonly sold florists' flowers. In addition to their great economic importance as a florists crop, roses are also of great value to the perfume industry.
Many thousands of rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use; most are double-flowered with many or all of the stamens having mutated into additional petals. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England.
Twentieth-century rose breeders generally emphasized size and colour, producing large, attractive blooms with little or no scent. Many wild and "old-fashioned" roses, by contrast, have a strong sweet scent.
Roses thrive in temperate climates, though certain species and cultivars can flourish in sub-tropical and even tropical climates, especially when grafted onto appropriate rootstock.
Rose pruning, sometimes regarded as a horticultural art form, is largely dependent on the type of rose to be pruned, the reason for pruning, and the time of year it is at the time of the desired pruning.
Most Old Garden Roses of strict European heritage (albas, damasks, gallicas, etc.) are shrubs that bloom once yearly, in late spring or early summer, on two-year-old (or older) canes. As such, their pruning requirements are quite minimal, and are overall similar to any other analogous shrub, such as lilac or forsythia. Generally, only old, spindly canes should be pruned away, to make room for new canes. One-year-old canes should never be pruned because doing so will remove next year's flower buds. The shrubs can also be pruned back lightly, immediately after the blooms fade, to reduce the overall height or width of the plant. In general, pruning requirements for OGRs are much less laborious and regimented than for Modern hybrids.
Modern hybrids, including the hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, modern miniatures, and English roses, have a complex genetic background that almost always includes China roses (R. chinensis). China roses were evergrowing, everblooming roses from humid subtropical regions that bloomed constantly on any new vegetative growth produced during the growing season. Their modern hybrid descendants exhibit similar habits: Unlike Old Garden Roses, modern hybrids bloom continuously (until stopped by frost) on any new canes produced during the growing season. They therefore require pruning away of any spent flowering stem, in order to divert the plant's energy into producing new growth and thence new flowers.
Additionally, Modern Hybrids planted in cold-winter climates will almost universally require a "hard" annual pruning (reducing all canes to 8"–12" in height) in early spring. Again, because of their complex China rose background, Modern Hybrids are typically not as cold-hardy as European OGRs, and low winter temperatures often desiccate or kill exposed canes. In spring, if left unpruned, these damanged canes will often die back all the way to the shrub's root zone, resulting in a weakened, disfigured plant. The annual "hard" pruning of hybrid teas, floribundas, etc. should generally be done in early spring; most gardeners coincide this pruning with the blooming of forsythia shrubs. Canes should be cut about 1/2" above a vegetative bud (identifiable as a point on a cane where a leaf once grew).
For both Old Garden Roses and Modern Hybrids, any weak, damaged or diseased growth should be pruned away completely, regardless of the time of year. Any pruning of any rose should also be done so that the cut is made at a forty five degree angle above a vegetative bud. This helps the pruned stem callus over more quickly, and also mitigates moisture buildup over the cut, which can lead to disease problems.
For all general rose pruning (including cutting flowers for arrangements), sharp secateurs (hand-held, sickle-bladed pruners) should be used to cut any growth 1/2" or less in diameter. For canes of a thickness greater than 1/2", pole loppers or a small handsaw are generally more effective; secateurs may be damaged or broken in such instances.
Deadheading is the simple practice of manually removing any spent, faded, withered, or discoloured flowers from rose shrubs over the course of the blooming season. The purpose of deadheading is to encourage the plant to focus its energy and resources on forming new offshoots and blooms, rather than in fruit production. Deadheading may also be perfomed, if spent flowers are unsightly, for aethestic purposes. Roses are particularly responsive to deadheading.
Deadheading causes different effects on different varieties of roses. For continual blooming varieties, whether Old Garden roses or more modern hybrid varieties, deadheading allows the rose plant to continue forming new shoots, leaves, and blooms. For "once-blooming" varieties (that bloom only once each season), deadheading has the effect of causing the plant to form new green growth, even though new blooms will not form until the next blooming season.
For most rose gardeners, deadheading is used to refresh the growth of the rose plants to keep the rose plants strong, vibrant, and productive.
The rose has always been valued for its beauty and has a long history of symbolism. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with their goddesses of love referred to as Aphrodite and Venus. In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where secret or confidential matters were discussed. The phrase sub rosa, or "under the rose", means to keep a secret — derived from this ancient Roman practice.
Early Christians identified the five petals of the rose with the five wounds of Christ. Despite this interpretation, their leaders were hesitant to adopt it because of its association with Roman excesses and pagan ritual. The red rose was eventually adopted as a symbol of the blood of the Christian martyrs. Roses also later came to be associated with the Virgin Mary.
Rose culture came into its own in Europe in the 1800s with the introduction of perpetual blooming roses from China. There are currently thousands of varieties of roses developed for bloom shape, size, fragrance and even for lack of prickles.
Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. The rose was sacred to a number of goddesses (including Isis and Aphrodite), and is often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. 'Rose' means pink or red in a variety of languages (such as Romance languages, Greek, and Polish).
The rose is the national flower of England and the United States[4], as well as being the symbol of England Rugby, and of the Rugby Football Union. It is also the provincial flower of Yorkshire and Lancashire in England (the white rose and red rose respectively) and of Alberta (the wild rose), and the state flower of four US states: Iowa and North Dakota (R. arkansana), Georgia (R. laevigata), and New York[5] (Rosa generally). Portland, Oregon counts "City of Roses" among its nicknames, and holds an annual Rose Festival.
Roses are occasionally the basis of design for rose windows, such windows comprising five or ten segments (the five petals and five sepals of a rose) or multiples thereof; however most Gothic rose windows are much more elaborate and were probably based originally on the wheel and other symbolism.
A red rose (often held in a hand) is a symbol of socialism or social democracy; it is also used as a symbol by the British and Irish Labour Parties, as well as by the French, Spanish (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Brazilian, Dutch (Partij van de Arbeid) and European socialist parties. This originated when the red rose was used as a badge by the marchers in the May 1968 street protests in Paris. White Rose was a World War II non violent resistance group in Germany.
Roses are often portrayed by artists. The French artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté produced some of the most detailed paintings of roses.
Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still life, particularly flowers including roses. The Rose 'Fantin-Latour' was named after the artist.
Other impressionists including Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne have paintings of roses among their works.
Rose perfumes are made from attar of roses or rose oil, which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam distilling the crushed petals of roses. The technique originated in Persia (the word Rose itself is from Persian) then spread through Arabia and India, but nowadays about 70% to 80% of production is in the Rose Valley near Kazanluk in Bulgaria, with some production in Qamsar in Iran and Germany.[citation needed]
The Kaaba in Mecca is annually washed by the Iranian rose water from Qamsar. In Bulgaria, Iran and Germany, damask roses (Rosa damascena 'Trigintipetala') are used. In the French rose oil industry Rosa centifolia is used. The oil, pale yellow or yellow-grey in color, is sometimes called 'Rose Absolute' oil to distinguish it from diluted versions. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers; for example, about two thousand flowers are required to produce one gram of oil.
The main constituents of attar of roses are the fragrant alcohols geraniol and l-citronellol; and rose camphor, an odourless paraffin. β-Damascenone is also a significant contributor to the scent.

Bailey Longcloth enters the med den heading for Ioh's bed. She check brain function and vitals all seeming to be unchanged from the morning. "Bro, you've got a lot of people worried about you." she'd stare down at her brother watching him appearing to be asleep
Bianca Bender comes up the stairs she'd see Ravi but heads straight into the Med Den, knowing Elise is following.
Ravenne Karu glances over and mewls to the two.
Bianca Bender blinks stopping inside the door...going forward..."Dazy...." sound suncertain...something..the build...the scent under the pink dye..isn't right...
Elise Capalini follows Bianca into the med den. That pink isn't right...and neither is that scent... "What the fuck is going on?" she growls.
Bailey Longcloth turns hearing her name, "O hai" she'd smile to both Bianca and Elise . She shrugs, "What do you mean? I know I haven't been around much but.."
Bianca Bender seconds Elise's growl...her's more confused..but relief as well...."Bails!" frowns when she says that...and looks at Elise....and back to Bails..."Cut it out...what the hell's going on..."
Bailey Longcloth rolls her eyes, "Not you too Bianca, I'm Dazy, -not- Bails"
Elise Capalini only stares, feeling like she's in a nightmare.
Bianca Bender would take a few steps forward...and reaches out fingering the very identafiable necklace around your neck unless you step back...she'd look up either way...gritting between her teeth..."Try...Again."
Bailey Longcloth steps back a bit before Bianca can grab the collar, "Yeah, it's Bails' I sent her home. She'd left it here when she woke up. I fixed the clasp and put it on so I didn't lose it" she'd shake her head at the stitcher, everyone had to be delusional
Bailey Longcloth stares back at Bianca, "Fine I'll do it but I checked him this morning and he's fine" she'd go over to the sink washing her hands before putting on gloves. She'd take a syringe out of the cabinet before turning to the med cabinet. She'd take her key out and unlock it taking the anticoagulant down, measuring the dosage and turning back to inject it into Ioh's IV
Elise Capalini shoves her PDA away, watching the Dazy-Bails with the drugs. Did Bianca trust her to actually do that? Shit....shit...shit. "Bianca, i want her strapped to the other bed. This isn't--right."
Ravenne Karu steps just inside still holding her PDA. She opens her mouth, then closes it, waiting for a moment.
Elise Capalini snarls as the doors open, but quiets when she sees Ravi. "Ravi--do you have intel on Dazy?"
Bianca Bender frowns...watching Bails follow her orders...and would stride forward reaching for Bails hand before she can inject the drugs into the IV, "Damn you...." pulls the hand back...."You should know that's to much..you'll turn his blood into water..." mrowls and looks over at Elise but nods, "See if you can find the other restraints in the work room." seeing as Ioh is already strapped down..why not make it a family affair.
Bailey Longcloth hears her name, "I'm standing right here!" she'd growl at no one believing she was who she said she was
Ravenne Karu shakes her head and murmurs quietly "No.. I was wonderinf if there was anything I could do... though.." she steps in closer and whispers to Elise, glancing over to the pink haired one.
Eamon Cale turns toward the warm feathered weight on his shoulder, and murmurs soft Gaelic to her. Lenore murrs and nibbles at his wild black hair, then she spreads her wings and launches into the gloom, winging her swift way to the top of the building before him, to wait. The priest watches her go, then he raps on the med den doors with the head of his cane.
Bailey Longcloth growls hearing the mention of restraints as Bianca grabs the syringe, "You are -not- restraining me! You know..." she'd begin to tense as if she was gonna run right past them all
Elise Capalini moves toward the work room, talking to Ravi as she goes. "You're a ghost--what's the first step? We gather intel. Dazy's last known location...search in and around the den for any evidence--is this tied to the bombings or is this something else?" She roots through lockers and finds restraints, her eye narrowing.
Bianca Bender would make a quick decision...she'd let the syring fall and would make a grab for Bails arm twisting it up and into her back..."No you don't." she'd felt the girls need to sprint.
Bailey Longcloth growls and tries to pull away from Bianca, "You can't... you wouldn't do this to me" she'd twist her head to look at Bianca, the fear and terror in her eyes plainly obvious
Ravenne Karu turns suddenly as there's a rap on the door. She steps forward to open it, then hears a commotion behind, turning back before she saw who was on the other side, having unlocked the door but not opened it quite yet. "Right. Was thinking on that."
Bianca Bender murrs and bites her lip hard...but keeps the pressure on Bails arm..."It's for your own good kitteh...don't want you out running around...with someone else brain in your head...or what ever the fuck is going on...." she'd look towards the door at the rap but keeps a tight hold on Bails, adding an arm wrapped around the front of her shoulders and pulling Bails back against her chest...."Don't fight...you'll end up dislocating..or having me break your arm...and we really don't want that now do we..." looks frantic as she sees Eamon coming through the door.
Eamon Cale hears the click of the lock, but no one opens the door. One dark brow arches slightly, and a bit more when he hears the sounds of a commotion on the other side. He shifts his cane beneath his arm and opens the door, and slowly steps inside... only to find himself faced with a psychedelic Bails. "What in the name o' the Mother o' God...?"
Elise Capalini comes back into the other room, still snarling, restraints held in one hand. "Dazy," she says to the cat who is obviously not Dazy, "this is for your own safety--we don't wnat you to hurt yourself...or Ioh...or anyone in here." She looks at Eamon and blinks. "Welcome to the mad house, love."

A quick phone shot to catch the effect of the sun shining through the clouds, soon after appearing over the horizon.
Best viewed large to see the magnificent landscape of Western Newfoundland.
There are about 120,000 moose in Newfoundland.
Four moose were brought over to the lsland in 1904. And they multiplied! Not a lot of predators of moose on the island.
One must be very careful when driving as all the roads are dark, windy, hilly and a moose can just appear.
HBM!
🎄 The Magic of the [WM] Day 22 Mini Dress🎄
(A Holiday Fashion Poem)
"Twas the eve before Christmas, and what should appear,
But a mini dress so enchanting, it brought festive cheer.
The [WM] Day 22 Mini Dress, a delight to behold,
In hues of deep emerald and rich crimson bold.
Its bodice so graceful, with straps that entwine,
A silhouette hugging, both chic and divine.
A skirt trimmed with shimmer, like tinsel aglow,
Spreading the warmth of the holiday snow.
The stockings, mismatched, a merry delight,
One white with red hearts, the other knit bright.
Each tells its own story of holiday glee,
Together they’re perfect, a sight to see!
Your accessories sparkle, with earrings that gleam,
Candy-cane shaped, a sweet Christmas dream.
A choker that twinkles like stars in the night,
And gloves red as holly, completing the sight.
In green fluffy slippers, with bows tied so neat,
You’re ready for parties, where glam and cheer meet.
With a bow in your hair and a smile on your face,
You bring joy to the season with effortless grace.
So slip into this beauty, let your spirit take flight,
Celebrate the holidays in pure WellMade delight!"
Styling Notes:
Recreate this festive ensemble by pairing the [WM] Day 22 Dress with contrasting holiday-themed stockings, a sparkling necklace, candy-cane earrings, and a bold holiday hair bow.

it appears to me that the bird on the left is begging for a meal from the (parent?) bird on the right. This is the only time I can recall seeing this behaviour by a heron after fledging the nest.

Cool!
An antique Adirondack guide boat appearing through the early morning mist on Blue Mountain Lake in New York’s Adirondack Park. These boats date back to the mid 19th century when city people would pay handsome fees to Adirondack guides who would provide their clients with a wilderness experience and the necessary survival skills of living off the rugged NY State landscape. The ADK guide boats could carry 3 people and enough gear for a full summer in the wilderness. Fast, light, and durable, these boats were an engineering marvel and truly a work of art and craftsmanship. To me, there’s a mystical quality to the early morning hours on the lakes in the Adirondacks, and seeing an antique guide boat materialize out of the mist lent a dreamlike sensation to my morning paddle. I felt out of place, and certainly out of time, sitting there in my plastic kayak, as if I had created a temporary break in the time-space continuum where technologies a century and a half apart collided for a brief instant. I realized that the lake is essentially unchanged since this approaching guide boat was built, so it was I that was the odd man out, a trespasser on a journey through the past.

What I write may appear self-indulgent and it is true that journaling our family accomplishments is a little cathartic. I do, however, share our story primarily to create awareness. Through that awareness, I hope in some small way to play a part in the enhancement, acceptance and understanding of those health conditions which so often attract prejudice and ridicule. Not just the prejudice against the individual who suffers from Epilepsy, Autism, Hydrocephalus, paralysis, and many other conditions, but also the people who care for them.
This community of people have so much to offer to society if only society would take a moment to listen and understand and not turn their back and walk away. In the modern world materialistic wealth and a limit on time outweighs emotional wealth and compassion. Eyes glued to mobile devices prevent a person from seeing a person in distress and keep walking on by, oblivious to that need. My words, I hope, will go some way to encouraging thought and maybe even a desire to see those struggles we walk past.
Our son is struggling. Multiple and complex mix of conditions that are not easily supported. It takes time. It means an absence from interacting with a life we once had until he is calm. I know many who will read this will understand us and already support us so much. To those of you who do understand, I need you to know that we are eternally grateful for your support and your encouragement, your friendship and even your love. Others may visit and pass by without such understanding. I have no complaints about that, I have no right to. Maybe a moment to read about our journey and to understand why we do not consistently engage with the world may be rewarding in some way.
Our son has been prescribed additional medication for his epilepsy. The reaction has not been good. The daily seizures he was having, continue. These are now accompanied by additional traits. Over the past few weeks, we have been giving him this additional medication, his mind, his memory, his awareness, and even his beautiful character has been affected, and not in a good way. So many people will pass by either in total ignorance of him even being there, struggling, or pass by with some derogatory comment or complaint. We steel ourselves against such behaviour. We can take it even though we should not have to. But we protect our son with a passion. That protection means greater isolation, not inclusion …

Leaf Moth (Epaena candidatalis, Thyrididae)
Several genera of the moth family Thyrididae, the Picture-winged Leaf Moths, are noted for their striking resting poses. These are not aggressive postures as they will rest like this for much of the day, but are probably intended to make them appear larger and more intimidating to a potential predator. Needless to say, there is not an intimidating 'bone' in their bodies.

This is the second member of Northern General's Venture Transport subsidiary to be featured in this collection. This time I'm able to use a genuine image, kindly supplied in monochrome form by Keith Lee. Judging by the slightly worn appearance, it appears to be an in-service view. Whilst this livery could be described as a half-hearted venture (pun optional), the real failure was not so much in the livery but in the commitment behind it. Only six vehicles were delivered new in this scheme (but others received it retrospectively - see comments), which quickly gave way to poppy red - initially with Venture fleetnames in NBC style. One vehicle retained the livery into preservation - or was perhaps repainted back into it - but it appears to have subsequently fallen by the wayside (28-Feb-11).

The conventional English translation appeared in John Heywood's collection of Proverbs in 1546. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable also credits Erasmus, and relates it to other Latin proverbs, Planta quae saepius transfertus non coalescit, or Saepius plantata arbor fructum profert exiguum, which mean that a frequently replanted plant or tree (respectively) yields little fruit. It appears that the original intent of the proverb saw the growth of moss as desirable, and that the intent was to condemn mobility as unprofitable. The contemporary interpretation has turned the traditional understanding on its head.
Erasmus's proverb gave the name "rolling stone" to people who meet this description.
What would i do without Wickipedia!?
Anycheese, more interestingly, this is Wistmans Wood. A magical and enchanted woodland full of knarly, twisted, stunted Oak trees and mossy granite boulders. I have been here many times, never before with camera. It is soooo difficult to get a composition. The woodland is thought to be one of the few remnants of ancient woodland on Dartmoor dating from prehistoric times. Apparently the wood is haunted by a pack of Yeth hounds and it is from here that they start their wild hunt across the moorland. They follow their master, who may be the Devil, Odin, or any number of spectral huntsmen on the search for souls across the moorlands. The dogs are described as jet-black in colour snorting fire from their nostrils. Coooool! Didnt see any though.. I will go back on a full moon and really take some shots.

[PT] Entre ruas, sombras e ficções
Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de não sei quê, sombras de gestos feitos por outrem, efeitos encarnados, consequências que sentem.” (Fernando Pessoa, Livro do Desassossego, v.164)
[ES] Entre calles, sombras y ficciones
Contemplo calles, personas y piedras, entre ficciones y olvidos, inspirado en el poeta, quizás, percibo las sombras de los gestos de otros, la poesía del crepúsculo, una inquietud.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de no sé qué, sombras de gestos hechos por otra persona, efectos encarnados, consecuencias que sienten.” (Fernando Pessoa, Libro del desasosiego, v.164)
[ENG] Between streets, shadows and fictions
I contemplate streets, people and stones, between fictions and oblivion, inspired by the poet, perhaps, I perceive the shadows of the gestures of others, the poetry of twilight, a restlessness.
“...we are all equally derived from I don't know what, shadows of gestures made by someone else, embodied effects, consequences they feel.” (Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, v.164)
It appears that my favourite comfort food has been rebranded HMM!
Just for the record the can is 7cm diameter, height is 6cm.
In this photo, does the railing of the staircase appear perfectly straight, or does it deform into an undulation, like a wave, as soon as you look at it? Is what we perceive, as individuals, objective reality, or just a subjective interpretation of it? Between different people, do we share the same vision of the world around us, or are our perceptions shaped by our unique experiences? In short, aren't there as many realities as there are individuals? Couldn't we say that the world is, in the final analysis, only what we choose to see in it?
Sur cette photo, le garde-corps de l’escalier semble-t-il parfaitement droit, ou se déforme-t-il en une ondulation, comme une vague, dès que votre regard se pose dessus ? Ce que nous percevons, en tant qu'individus, est-il la réalité objective, ou n’est-ce qu’une interprétation subjective de celle-ci ? Entre différentes personnes, partageons-nous la même vision du monde qui nous entoure, ou nos perceptions sont-elles façonnées par nos expériences uniques ? En somme, n’existe-t-il pas autant de réalités qu’il y a d’individus ? Ne pourrait-on pas affirmer que le monde n’est, en définitive, que ce que nous choisissons d’y voir ?
A Bald Eagle appearing to wave hello to the photographers after snagging a fish from the Mississippi River!
These guys appeared on the shore of the Potomac River maybe a week ago. I drive this way regularly, so I would've noticed if they'd been there for a long time. Easily 10+ feet tall, they're majestic in their own way.
As the military space vessel, IRC Agatha Christie leaves Stonehenge Spacefort in pursuit of the Frigus Iustitia, that ship is dropping out of tach speed near a distant IRC outpost, Septem Caelum.
Septem Caelum Comm Tech: (his image appears on the forward holoscreen) Frigus Iustitia, welcome to Outpost Septem Caelum.
MSS: (on the bridge, in the command chair) Thank you. This is Major Sky. We are rendezvousing with another ship -- soon.
SCCT: Understood. Which ship are you meeting?
MSS: I don't know, but Captain Jetsam will be aboard.
SCCT: Do you plan to vee over?
MSS: No. We're on a tight schedule.
SCCT: Understood. Let us know if you need anything. (his image is replaced by one of the outpost)
MSS: (leans back in the command chair) Now, we wait.
Aboard the IRC Agatha Christie, Cpt Jetsam is leaning back in the command seat, appearing calm. A low tone from the Pilot's station draws her eyes.
Pilot: Captain Jetsam, that signal you had me scanning for; it just appeared at Outpost Septem Caelum.
CDL: (leans forward in the chair with a small smile) Take us there. Tach five.
CMOLB: (moves to stand by CDL's seat) I hope we make it in time.
Cpt Jetsam says nothing to this vocalized concern she shares, she simply gazes at the holo projection of stars and planets they pass until the screen glows purple as they drop out of tach speed, replaced by an image of the Frigus Iustitia orbiting Outpost Septem Caelum.
QDPN: Assume orbit.
Pilot: Aye, sir.
QDPN: Comm Officer, contact the Frigus Iustitia.
CommO: Aye, sir. IRC Agatha Christie to Frigus Iustitia, please respond.
MSS: (her holo image fills the forward screen) Frigus Iustitia, welcome to Outpost Septem Caelum.
CDJ: Major Sky, you have my ship.
MSS: On the contrary, Captain Jetsam. I have your ship, and I have Major Sky.
CDJ: You have? Who are you?
MSS: First, please allow me to apologize for what has happened, but the circumstances are dire, and there was no time to explain.
CDJ: Oh, then apology accepted. Give me back my friend, and my ship.
MSS: (smiles) Scrummy's told me about your sense of humor.
CDJ: You may call her, Major Sky. Has she told you about my overdeveloped protective instincts?
MSS: She has, which is why the two of you were chosen, actually.
CDJ: Chosen? Look, who the red nova are you?
MSS: My name is, Koe Ghitatio, Tech Mentalist to her Highness Princess Bhonumm Durus of the planet, Vhipernhal.
CDJ: Vhipernhal? (looks around the bridge) Anyone know the name? (the entire bridge crew shakes their heads, no) Never heard of it.
MSS-KG: Our planet lies beyond your current exploration.
CDJ: Why have you attacked Major Sky? Why did you kill Dr. Litefful? And why did you steal my ship?
MSS-KG: You misunderstand, Pips.
CDJ: (raises a hand) No. Oh, no, no no.
MSS-KG: Apologies, Captain. I did not kill Dr. Litefful. I was unable to properly express myself to her. My mentalist tech is experimental. She assumed I was trying to seize control of her mind. She killed herself.
CDJ: It appears she was correct. You HAVE seized control of Major Sky, AND my SHIP.
CMOLB: (quietly, to CDJ) Careful, Captain.
MSS-KG: This merging with Scr--Major Sky was consensual. We took your ship, knowing you would follow. Captain Jetsam, the people of Vhipernhal, all of us, are dying! We desperately need your help!
CDJ: Consensual? Then let me talk to Major Sky.
MSS-KG: I'm sorry, Captain. If I sever the connection, I might not be able to reconnect. I barely managed to communicate with her after Dr. Litefful killed herself.
CDJ: I just call that, convenient.
MSS-KG: Captain, we don't have time for this verbal sparring. The people of my planet are dying. That is why our king took your scientists--
CDJ: (interrupts) YOU kidnapped the scientists?
MSS-KG: No, King Durus did. He's desperate to save our people, but his desperation verges on madness. He will do anything to save us, even risk going to war.
CMOLB: What are your people dying from?
MSS-KG: You are the chief medical officer of this ship. Good, I'm glad you chose to accompany the Captain. We don't know what is killing us, but we do know the source. A great, stellar cloud of unknown properties is slowly engulfing our world. There is nowhere for our people to hide. As our world rotates, all points ultimately come into contact with the phenomenon.
CDJ: How are the scientists supposed to help you with that? They aren't medical scientists.
MSS-KG: Plicare.
CDJ: (tenses, pretty sure this crew didn't know the secret of Plicare) You clearly have ships that can traverse space, if you need to move your people.
MSS-KG: King Durus doesn't want to move ships, Captain. He wants to move the world.

The Volvo appears to very well cared-for! It's such an automotive icon now. It was parked in front of the Rite-Aid pharmacy/drugstore/convenience store.
The Rite-Aid was a Thrifty Drug Store when we moved into College Park East in 1966.
The steam-heating boiler on Brush Type 2 no. 31195 appears to be working well as it passes through Hinckley with the 10.15 Birmingham - Norwich service. At the time these locos, together with five or six Mk 1 carriages, were routinely rostered on these cross-country services.
Composition techniques were obviously work-in-progress (no change there then) with the home signal slightly obscuring the signal box for apparently no good reason. Nevertheless the shot is still hopefully of interest to rail-fans of a certain age.
This frame is a couple in front of the shot "Au revoir, but not Adieu", uploaded a few days ago. Needless to say the damp, wintry weather conditions prevailed. Looking at the crossing 'coverage', I reckon this was a taken with the 35mm F2 lens, the widest one I had at the time.

USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned ship in the United States Navy. Naval officers and crew still serve aboard her today. The USS Constitution is operated by the United States Navy, a partner to the National Parks of Boston.
Prior to independence, the colonies were protected from pirates and foreign navies by the British Royal Navy. After independence the USA had to defend itself. In 1794, Congress authorized the construction of the first six warships that became the new United States Navy. USS Constitution was built in the North End of Boston. Construction began in 1794 and Constitution was launched on October 21, 1797.
The greatest glory for Constitution came during the War of 1812. Constitution's crew defeated four British frigates during three separate engagements. In battle, Constitution earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" because it appeared as if enemy cannonballs could not penetrate the ship's strong oak hull.
It appears the tree got off easy.

The song appeared in the film "Neptune's Daughter", released in 1949, and even a year later received an Oscar for the best song for the film.
Песня "Детка, на улице холодно" появилась в кинофильме "Дочь Нептуна", вышедшем в прокат в 1949 году, и годом позже получила "Оскара" за лучшую песню к фильму.
