.....not only does she attack the mama in the night, biting her ears and chewing on her nose and asking for belly rubs, she bites my nose and ears too.
in the daytime I get mad and try to kill her by biting her throat, but she's tall and she thinks we're just playing, and mama and dad yell and make us stop.
but I'm not playing....
I'm behind on it.
I don't really like taking shots of fallen trees but this little scene in Barnes's Grove took my eye. Aside from the autumnal scene that was all around me, this little gathering with their fallen comrade just seemed so balanced
On Wednesday, a new front was coming in bringing more snow to be followed by much colder temperatures. I had thought that the increasing cloud cover had pretty much cancelled the sunset. The muted sun dropped below the horizon and all was grey. Then a red spot appeared on the horizon and it soon spread across the sky. There were just a few folks out here with their dogs walking the trail behind me and a patrolling coyote that kept criss-crossing the ice upriver. A really peaceful moment.
This part of the Fox has been set aside on both sides of the river and is truly lovely.
Thanks for visiting. Have a great weekend!
Aside from Hummingbird, I do not think that you can find bird more tiny than this around here... and off course I find them to be adorable! It was so nice to receive their visit while I was waiting for the return of the Waxings!
Aside from the famous Iguassu Falls, the 6km walking trails on the Argentinean side had incredible surroundings, mainly consisting of forrest, water or more water..... And when lucky, some wildlife too. In few hours, I did see many kinds of butterflies, birds, toucans, gang of coatiks who snatched and ate somebody's lunch, a crocodile, a monkey downing a carton of juice (also snatched) and to top it of a little snake (my least favourite)

In the countries around the world where pine trees grow, many legends, beliefs, and folklore surround this magnificent tree.
Aside from representing fertility, wisdom and longevity, the pine tree is a symbol of peace.
Aside from this occasion, I didn't see tsessebe and impala together, let alone with the addition of a tsessebe calf. Unfortunately, the tsessebe were facing away - but I decided the trio were worth a shot anyway. Photographed in The Okavango, Botswana.
Canada geese walking a narrow path made in the snow. We were walking towards each other, I decided to step aside into the deep snow and let them pass. They actually didn't pass, instead they stopped when I did and I think hoping I would feed them.
Lady dear, if Fairies may
For a moment lay aside
Cunning tricks and elfish play,
'Tis at happy Christmas-tide.
We have heard the children say -
Gentle children, whom we love -
Long ago, on Christmas Day,
Came a message from above.
Still, as Christmas-tide comes round,
They remember it again -
Echo still the joyful sound
'Peace on earth, good-will to men!'
Yet the hearts must childlike be
Where such heavenly guests abide:
Unto children, in their glee,
All the year is Christmas-tide!
Thus, forgetting tricks and play
For a moment, Lady dear,
We would wish you, if we may,
Merry Christmas, glad New Year!
~ Lewis Carroll

“Couples stood aside and stared at Tilly, draped in a striking green gown that was sculpted, crafted about her svelte frame. It curved with her hips, stretched over her breasts and clung to her thighs. And the material—georgette, two-and-six a yard from the sale stand at Pratts. The girls in their short frocks with pinched waists, their hair stiff in neat circles, opened their pink lips wide and tugged self-consciously at their frothy skirts.” – The Dressmaker (1996) written by Rosalie Ham.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 2nd of November is "needles or spines". Being a collector of vintage and antique haberdashery pieces, I have opted for the needles for this week's challenge. These needles, all of which are plated in gold, come from a deluxe antique needle case from the 1930s made of the most beautiful marone leather with hand tooled gold lettering identifying which types of needles they are. To show you just how small they are, I have photographed them against a sterling silver beehive thimble made by James Fenton & Company in 1904, and a spool of Rose brand buttonhole silk twist in a lovely shade of moss green. I decided to give the image a more vintage look by stripping out a bit of colour and adding a slight sepia tone. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
A duo of "Deathstars" lead the Gary, IN to Centralia, IL shuttle, A408, south past the former IC depot in Mattoon, IL. Aside from the yellow sills and first few freight cars (and likely a depot rehab), hard to tell if this was from 2020 or the late 1990's.
Even at 10:30pm Ghost Ranch is a busy place. There are a lot of cars coming and going to and from the living quarters as well as in and out of the ranch itself. Cars? Where would they be driving? Well, the low camera angle hides the driveway right behind the carriage, which tees into the main access to the ranch not far from where we had set up
The harsh light from their headlights shines on the old wagon from all angles. I was careful not to take shots of that, but when I assembled the image, I realized that the way I light-painted the scene simulated the way the headlights had illuminated it.
It was a glorious night and Greg and I sat under the stars waiting for the galactic core to show up between the two trees. For the earlier part of the evening that space was dominated by the constellation of Scorpio.
Initially I had envisioned a shot from a little further out, showing both trees with the galaxy and carriage in between. However, that was not possible because the ranch had put on display a small, equally antique seed spreader right in front of the vehicle. Any shot showing both trees would have had the seed spreader in it, complicating the composition, making for competing subjects. So we took all our strength and pulled it aside a bit so we could put our cameras in front of it. As with a lot of things in life, it was a compromise.
Aside from the fact that I never set foot on anyone's property without permission, I am nervous taking pictures of this place even from the road. My boss owns property on three sides and when we get close to this property, this guy comes out gun in hand to see what we are doing. I think I was safe this time, since the padlock was on the door and there was no smoke coming from the chimney.
“You think you know so much
But I think you’re out of touch
I don’t wanna be next to you
’Cause I can’t stand a single thing you do...”
This sign seemed abrupt and a little rude to me when I came across it. I figured it needed a cranky/angry song to go with it. ;)
Aside from HSBC, I marveled this building in Admiralty, Hong Kong Island. It was dubbed "The Koala Tree" because protruding curtain wall resemble koalas clutching a tree.
I didn't realize until I processed this image that I had fallen victim to an insect photobombing! Can you spot the bug?
Aside from the wildlife the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone was my favorite part of the National Park...the power of those falls was intimidating!
El Sukiennice (« Llotja de teixits ») és un dels monuments històrics més emblemàtics de la ciutat de Cracòvia. Aquesta imponent llotja comercial de dos pisos, aixecada el segle xiii i després adaptada a l'època del Renaixement, ocupa el lloc central de la gran Plaça del Mercat i forma part del Patrimoni de la Humanitat de la UNESCO.[1]
A la planta baixa, la Llotja acull avui comerços d'artesania, mentre que el primer pis acull la Galeria d'art polonès del segle xix, una filial del Museu nacional de Cracòvia amb la més important col·lecció d'obres poloneses del món. Entre elles, la famosa tela Les Torxes de Neró, oferta a l'obertura del museu pel seu pintor, Henryk Siemiradzki i el quadre gegant Homenatge prussià de Jan Matejko.
Història
Posicionada segons l'eix nord-sud de la plaça, amb les seves façanes oest i est simètriques respecte als eixos de les entrades, la Llotja de teixits de Cracòvia reuneix elements arquitectònics d'èpoques molt diferents, i constitueix una síntesi global de l'arquitectura de la ciutat.
El nom Sukiennice ve de la paraula polonesa sukno que vol dir teixit, roba. En efecte, els drapers disposaven les seves parades al centre de la plaça del Mercat per a la venda a l'engròs de teixits.
La primera llotja, aixecada al segle xiii, després de la concessió a la ciutat d'una carta de Drets de Magdeburg, es limitava a dues fileres de botigues de pedra que formaven un carrer al mig de la Plaça del Mercat. El comerç als Sukiennice era una font important d'ingressos per a la ciutat: segons el privilegi reial, els venedors vinguts de l'exterior només podien vendre la seva pròpia mercaderia, i només en aquest lloc.
L'any 1358, el Casimir III fa construir el primer edifici de 100 m de longitud amb dos portals ogivals situats al centre de les façanes principals. Després d'un incendi que va consumir l'edifici l'any 1555, es va cridar als italians que havien vingut amb la reina Bona Sforza (esposa italiana del rei Segimon el Vell). La Llotja de teixits renovada a l'estil Renaixement llavors es va dotar d'un àtic decorat amb una cresta amb gàrgoles, estilitzades amb caps humans, realitzades probablement segons els projectes de Santi Gucci. Giovanni Maria Mosca divideix l'edifici en dos pisos i està connectat per escales cobertes per lògies situats sobre els costats més curts.
Els últims treballs importants són duts a terme al segle xix per Tomasz Prylińeski. L'arquitecte transforma la llotja a la planta baixa, instal·lant-hi al llarg dels murs botigues de fusta. El sostre serà adornat més tard amb l'escut de les ciutats poloneses, els emblemes dels gremis i els segells. Prylińeski afegeix també arcades neogòtiques de pedra per tal de donar l'elegància a l'edifici,[1] així com dels mascarons representant caricatures dels presidents de l'època de la ciutat de Cracòvia, realitzats segons un dibuix de Jan Matejko. La llotja superior és adaptada a les necessitats del museu.
The Kraków Cloth Hall (Polish: Sukiennice, pronounced [sukʲɛˈɲːit͡sɛ]), in Lesser Poland, dates to the Renaissance and is one of the city's most recognizable icons. It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town (the historic center of Kraków), which since 1978 has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
t was once a major centre of international trade. Travelling merchants met there to discuss business and to barter. During its golden age in the 15th century, the hall was the source of a variety of exotic imports from the east – spices, silk, leather and wax – while Kraków itself exported textiles, lead, and salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
In the immediate vicinity of the hall, the Great Weigh House and the Small Weigh House existed until the 19th century. Other, similar cloth halls have existed in other Polish as well as other European cities such as in Ypres, Belgium; Braunschweig, and in Leeds, EnglandKraków was Poland's capital city and was among the largest cities in Europe already from before the time of the Renaissance. However, its decline started with the move of the capital to Warsaw at the end of the 16th century. The city's decline was hastened by wars and politics leading to the Partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century. By the time of the architectural restoration proposed for the cloth hall in 1870 under Austrian rule, much of the historic city center was decrepit. A change in political and economic fortunes for the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria ushered in a revival due to newly established Legislative Assembly or Sejm of the Land. The successful renovation of the Cloth Hall, based on a design by Tomasz Pryliński and supervised by Mayor Mikołaj Zyblikiewicz, Sejm Marshal, was one of the most notable achievements of this period.[1]
The hall has hosted many distinguished guests over the centuries and is still used to entertain monarchs and dignitaries, such as King Charles III, then Prince of Wales, and Emperor Akihito of Japan, who was welcomed here in 2002. In the past, balls were held here, most notably after Prince Józef Poniatowski had briefly liberated the city from the Austrians in 1809. Aside from its history and cultural value, the hall is still used as a center of commerce.
History
Aside from regular forays to catch flying insects, the parent Black Phoebe stuck to a fairly set circuit with a stop on the rock next to the falls to partake of the cooling mist before flying to a perch below the nest to check for threats.
The Portrait of Francesco delle Opere is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Perugino, dating to 1494 and housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.
The first mention of the painting is in the inventory of Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici's artworks, as a work of "Second Manner Raphael". In the 19th century it was attributed to Perugino and Jacopo Francia, and then again to Perugino by Antonio Ramirez de Montalvo, who discovered an inscription in the rear. This reads: "1494 DI LVGLIO PIETRO PERVGINO PINSE FRANC[ESC]O DEL LOPRE PEYNAGA".
It was long considered a self-portrait, and from 1883 it was therefore exhibited in the gallery of self-portraits in the Vasarian Corridor. In 1881 the subject was finally identified as Francesco delle Opere (died 1516), a gem carver and a friend of Perugino.
Francesco delle Opere is portrayed from three-quarters, with a black beret and a mantle of the same color, a red blouse under which is a white shirt. His hand holds a cartouche with the words Timete Devm ("Beware of God"), the beginning of a famous preaching by Girolamo Savonarola. The hands lie on an invisible parapet which coincides with the painting's lower border, as in Flemish contemporary works such as Hans Memling's Man with a Letter.
Aside from the attention to details (typical of contemporary Flemish art), the painting share with Memling's also the presence of a city with pointed towers on the left. The presence of small trees and a lake in the background landscape are typical of the Umbrian school of the period.
Aside from several locals that operate on the P&W, the daily road trains from RI and CT have historically operated under the cover of darkness for decades. Starting in around 1982, they operated train PRWO from Valley Falls, RI to Worcester to get interchange to and from Conrail to save per-diem. This also got things set up for the locals on Monday. This particular day in the winter of 1983, WOPR is racing south through the Linwood section of Northbridge, MA with M-420 2004 leading GP38-2 2008. Robert C. Barnett scan, SC Collection
