More TICINO/TESSIN Wildlife Photos (all taken in my garden in Monteggio/Ti, Switzerland): it.lacerta-bilineata.com/ramarro-occidentale-lacerta-bili... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)

ABOUT THE PHOTO:
The photo above was taken this past May and shows parts of my garden and the surrounding hills just as the sun was setting after a heavy thunderstorm, which is when the light and the colors are at their most intense, most magical; it was one of those rare moments that usually only last for a few minutes (sometimes not even that), and you have to be quick to capture them.
The reason I like the photo quite a bit is that it shows a side of my country that is far less known to the people abroad than our snowy mountains and green meadows with friendly cows or the glitz of St. Moritz, Zermatt and Zurich: it shows you "my" tropical Switzerland 😊.
And the thing is, the spot in Ticino where I'm fortunate enough to own a vacation home - a tiny, 400-year old stone building only 70 meters from the Italian border - doesn't just look like it lies in the tropics: it actually sort of does, at least during the summer months.
With temperatures frequently in the mid 30s (Celsius) and a level of humidity that is high enough to make you break out in a sweat the second you leave the house, the micro-climate is not that dissimilar from what you might find in a rain forest.
The air can grow so heavy that people unaccustomed to it might feel like they have a hard time breathing (when friends of mine who originally are from Brazil visited me for a couple of days during a particularly hot period, even they struggled and told me they felt as if they were inhaling steam).
On the plus-side, this tropical micro-climate allows the people in our village to grow lemons, peaches, figs and kiwi fruits in addition to the more traditional apricots, grapes apples and cherries, and even palm trees like the one in this photo are a very common sight throughout the region.
Luckily our houses are traditionally built in a way to keep out the heat even during the hottest months, so the few remaining permanent residents of the village (around 40 people most of whom are over the age of sixty), find soothing cool as soon as they enter the thick stone walls of their homes.
The village itself is built on a rock that is surrounded by dense chestnut forest on all sides that stretches on until the horizon, only interrupted every now and then by a village, a vineyard or a small stream in a valley with a few fields.
So it's hardly a surprise that this tiny tropical paradise is a place where a great variety of beautiful insects, snakes and colorful lizards (that most people probably wouldn't immediately associate with typical Swiss fauna either) feel very much at home, and I feel incredibly blessed that I need only step outside and enter my garden to capture it with my camera 😊.
In case people are interested I might upload a photo that shows a bit more of our village one day, but for now I'll continue to stick with my beloved "creepy crawlies" (as some of my friends here jokingly refer to them) and continue to concentrate on nature, wildlife and landscape photos. 😉
I hope you like the photo and wish you all a wonderful weekend! Many greetings from Switzerland, and as always: let me know what you think in the comments 🙏 😊 ❤!
P.S. This is probably going to be my last upload in 2022, so HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone!! 🎄💕🎉😃!!
and the addition of the date of the year, we can hold fast the history of the world :-)

In addition to seeing rare snow, a hybrid Northern Flicker with a snowy hat paused in a tree. This intergrade* shows his red whisker stripe below the eye and a black bib, as well as his red nape borrowed from the Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker. The red whisker appears more frequently on the Red-shafted woodpecker. The black bib appears on the Yellow-shafted.
And, of course, with the orangish inner tail feathers rather than the goldish-yellow, he looks more similar to the others that flock here: mainly Red-shafted Northern Flickers.

Compiled by C.H.C.A. van Sypesteyn (1857 - 1937), a valuable art collection forms the foundation of the Castle-Museum Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht. In addition to the collection of portraits, furniture, silver and glass objects, clocks and sculptures, there is also a beautiful collection of porcelain. The Loosdrecht porcelain is particularly worth seeing.
The castle gardens
A garden with hedges, moats and decorative wrought-iron gates characterize Sypesteyn Castle. Via paths and bridges, you can walk around the maze and cross the canal and take a leisurely stroll through the orchards, the park and the castle garden. You will discover all sorts of indigenous and exotic trees during your stroll.
Tribute to Van Sypesteyn
The lord of the castle did not build it merely as a place to house his art collection. As the last descendant of the Van Sypesteyn line, he wanted to build the castle to pay tribute to his family. The stunning garden and park were built in the 17th-century style. Surrounded by the Loosdrecht lakes and the Vecht River, the area around the castle is also magnificent.
For further information, visit the website of Castle- Museum Sypesteyn.

Gallotia galloti palmae, in La Palma. In addition to Gallotia galloti, it is sometimes called "smut lizard". The blight lizard can reach 30 cm in length. Males are somewhat larger than females and have a blue patch on their faces. Black lizard (Gallotia galloti) The black lizard is a very abundant reptile in the Canary Islands, especially in agricultural areas and coastal scrubland. It prefers dry and sunny places, such as rocky areas, especially rock walls, and avoids the laurel forest area. It can live up to 3,000 m above sea level, so it can be found at almost any altitude. Forest roads are a favorable habitat for this species, since it also uses them to move around, as it allows it to stay in the sun during its walks. Being a poikilothermic animal (that is, cold-blooded), it requires clear places where it can warm up on the rock, until it reaches a body temperature that allows it to be active. Feeding Their diet is based on plants and insects; sometimes it eats the grapes cultivated by man, for which it is subject to persecution.
Gallotia galloti palmae, en La Palma.
Además del Gallotia galloti recibe a veces el nombre de "lagarto tizón"
El lagarto tizón puede alcanzar los 30 cm de longitud. Los machos son algo más grandes que las hembras y tienen una mancha azul en la cara.
Lagarto tizón (Gallotia galloti) El lagarto tizón es un reptil muy abundante en las islas canarias, especialmente en las zonas agrícolas y matorrales de las zonas costeras. Prefiere los lugares secos y soleados, como las zonas pedregosas, especialmente paredes de rocas, y evita la zona de laurisilva. Puede vivir hasta por encima de los 3.000 m, por lo que se le encuentra a casi cualquier altura. Las carreteras forestales son para esta especie un hábitat favorable, ya que las utiliza también para desplazarse, ya que le permite permanecer al sol durante sus caminatas. Al ser un animal poiquilotermo (es decir, de sangre fría), requiere sitios despejados donde pueda calentarse sobre la roca, hasta alcanzar una temperatura corporal que le permita estar activo.
Alimentación
Su alimentación se basa en plantas e insectos; en ocasiones come las uvas cultivadas por el hombre, por lo que es objeto de persecución.
St Mary's sits next to the coastal salt marshes. Domesday Book mentions it and a substantial part of the existing church dates to those times - the 11th Century.
The nave pictured here was widened in a 15C makeover. The door leads to the south porch added then. The curtained archway leads into the bell tower. The pews are probably a 19th Century addition.
Externally, the flint tower's tapering base is probably Saxon and is topped by a cylindrical Norman construction suggesting that it was completed after the Norman Conquest. St Mary's great attraction is its quaint Medieval 'spirelet' of lead coated timber frame. Outside view of tower and 'spirelet'
If you want to make friends with an Icelandic ..... never call an Icelandic horse a pony .... there isn't even that word in Icelandic.
Icelandic horses look extremely charming and, compared to other horses, rather childishly, in fact they are realy strong, they can survive the harshest winters, the biggest hurricanes and the craziest snowstorms without any effort. In addition, they are so incredibly friendly and gentle that it is impossible not to adore them.
It is possible to go inside, but it is not easy to do. Because the steps leading to the front door were torn off. In addition, it is quite clear that everything that can be taken from this house has been stolen.
One more Cherry Blossom photo from Wednesday's sunrise. I took this one during blue hour, on my way to the location where I took the Jefferson Memorial photo posted yesterday. Before walking around this curve, I noticed the sky looked good and it was a nice comp with this tree. In addition (and maybe most importantly) no photographers had their tripods setup in the shot! Score! While I had to work around different people walking through, I was able to capture a few clear frames before moving on.
On more note: I focused on the Jefferson Memorial this year because renovations are now complete! The exterior (especially the roof) looks great again!
All is occupied, but feel free to come and visit the public part :)
"Luanes World - Live the Dream", is the newest addition to the Luanes World sims. But as a difference to "Luanes World" @Slice of Heaven and "Luanes Magical World" @ Morning Glow, who are public sims, "Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara is a residential sim.
The rentals consist of 7 different houses, all with water view.
The rest of the sim is free for all to use, and enjoy.
Note this sim is moderate, so keep everything naughty inside of your house:)
Please respect the privacy of the other tenants - do not contact anybody else, when they are in the privacy of their own home. If you meet them in the public areas, you can of course say hi :)
Price:
Each rental, no matter which house you choose, is 799/week, with a 2 week minimum pay the first time.
After the first payment you can pay between 1-4 weeks at a time.
Prims:
You get 250 prims to decorate the house, and the nearest surrounding with. Please keep within the prim limit, as we all have to share the prims available.
If you need additional prims, you can buy extra prims - in units of 25 prims for 75 linden/week. Write me a notecard if you want your prim limit changed.
Privacy:
Each rental has it's own security orb, and the parcel setting is set to private, so you will be invisible to people from outside the parcel.
You can add people to the security orb, once I have set it up for you.
Music and parcel name and description:
If you want the parcel to have a specific name and/or description, write it in a notecard, and I will add that for you.
Also if you would like a specific music stream, you can put that in a notecard as well, and I will change that for you.
Luanes Residential World Group:
"Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara has its own group where only tenants will be able to join (as well as subtenants). Only members of this group will be able to rezz on the sim, but the public parts are open for everybody.
Upon renting a house, send me a notecard, and I will invite you to the group, so you can start decorating your new home. Any subtenants you need adding, you put in the notecard as well. Note that this is only needed, if they need to be able to rezz as well.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. If I am not online, please send a notecard, as my IM's get capped.
Sincerely LuaneMeo.
La renoncule flammette (Ranunculus flammula), la petite douve ou la petite flamme, est une espèce de plante herbacée de la famille des Renonculacées qui pousse dans les milieux humides.
Ranunculus flammula, the lesser spearwort, greater creeping spearwort or banewort, is a species of perennial herbaceous plants in the genus Ranunculus (buttercup), growing in damp places throughout the Boreal Kingdom. It flowers June/July. Ranunculus flammula is poisonous. It is very closely related to R. reptans, which is distinguished by prostrate and more slender stems, narrower leaves and smaller flowers and is sometimes included within R. flammula sensu lato as a variety (R. flammula var. reptans (L.) E. Meyer).
In addition to other forms of pollination, this plant is adapted to rain-pollination.

Nam Tso གནམ་མཚོ།
salt lake The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,870 square kilometres. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest salt lake in the Tibetan Plateau. That title belongs to KokoNor མཚོ་སྔོན་ མཚོ་ཁྲི ་ཤོར་རྒྱལ་མོ་ (almost twice the size of Namtso). Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted under the Communist Chinese regime in Tibet. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
In addition to the tiny boathouse windows (Happy Window Wednesday!), I loved all the varying shades of blues in this scene.
These boathouses are along the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia (just outside Vancouver). It was just before sunset and the water was calm, the light beautiful - a lovely evening 😊
Meet Cooper!!! He is a new addition to our little SL household!!! Clive recently 'redid' our home in SL and while he was renovating, he asked me if we should get a pup!!! I was overjoyed!!! So, here is Cooper!!! He makes me smile!!!

An addition was added to L301 on their way back to Grand Rapids, picked up in Hartford from the West Michigan is GLLX 1397. Being shuttled to the Hamilton Northwestern at Holland the 1397 will be the second unit on the newer railroad. Camera Hovering just an inch above the water the train reflects nicely on the river flowing below.
The names Matt Smith (trumpet), Nolan Murphy (sousaphone) and Conrad Glutch (sax) do not sound Italian, but they were great addition to 'Taste of Little Italy'. This area is now more Brazilian and increasingly only affordable for high income families without any predominant ethnicity. Big Smoke is New Orleans style Brass band, who plays pop tunes and is highly entertaining to watch. The festival returned this year and it was wonderful to watch hundreds of young people dancing salsa (DJ) in the streets, after the scheduled performances ended.

This is part of a large addition that I am making to my Bay View album. Bay View is a community of summer cottages near Petoskey, Michigan. Most of these additional photographs are highlighting the great number of porch styles in the community. Taken on an drizzling, overcast day.
And as Gina said under my “Seven Up” porch, the houses in this community are “all-American”, not a cookie-cutter in the place. Available at 17-robert-carter.pixels.com in the “Bay View” collection.
"A partir d'une figure simple et par la juxtaposition de cette même figure dans les différentes dimensions de l'espace euclidien, on arrive à créer un type de labyrinthe d'une grande complexité spatiale et dont le parcours laisse diverses alternatives: vers la droite et la gauche, vers le haut et le bas."

Not much to be said here. It's a beautiful stencil of a rabbit. But if you enlarge this photo I warn you there is an unauthorised addition.

This week's addition to my Project 52. The wrap up for the February theme "Balance" I used negative space for this week's challenge.
The sky was a deep blue so it presented a nice deep black in the upper part of the image. The bit of snow on the ground allowed for the lower piece of the image to have a almost smokey look ...
The newest addition to the High Line art on display. Brick House by Simone Leigh can be found on the 31st Street Extension over 10th Avenue. She is made of bronze and stands 16 feet. She's quite impressive.
My addition to today's Marco Mondays is Curves.
Thanks for your comments and favourites, they are all really appreciated.

In addition to the Yellow-rumped Warblers, we saw a lot of Cedar Waxwings eating the Cedar berries. In fact that is where part of their name comes from. From allaboutbirds.org: "The birds’ name derives from their appetite for cedar berries in winter." The bird pictured here is an immature bird as evident by the prominent streaking on the breast and faint looking black mask as compared to an adult. Anoka County, MN 10/04/20
In addition to the two steam locomotives, the Brohtal D5 was another big attraction of the weekend. The miniaturized Class 218 was originally built for the FEVE in Spain and was imported back to Germany by the Brohtal to handle their freight traffic. It is somewhat seldom to see it in passenger service.
In addition to the Long-billed dowitchers, one greater and four lesser yellow legs were working the same mud flat. The Greater yellow leg providing an opportunity to compare the two species. For identification of the Greater, I hang my hat on it's two toned billed. For me size does not help unless one has both species present for comparison. One of the Lessers for tomorrow. Market Lake WMA, Robert's, Idaho.
PS Two Flickr friends pointed out the length of the bill was the most helpful distinguishing feature aside from size. The bill of the greater is approximately 1.5 times the length of the head with the lesser's bill length equal to the head length.
This handsome fellow is a new addition to McGough nature center. He got his name after he nipped a volunteer on the neck.... :]
Vlad would not be here if a human didn't take a shot at him with a shotgun, permanently injuring his wing...
Thanks to the good people at the Center, Vlad now has a great home and many new friends and admirers.
Vultures are a misunderstood and underappreciated bird.
They are in the same family as the Condor, and are amazing flyers. They are also fantastic recyclers, and clean up a lot of the messes that humans tend to make...

I photographed this storefront (flic.kr/p/2nzTDop) in the summer of 2022. Over three years on, there have been some subtle changes here.
The section on the right is for selling vegetables. The yellow lettering on the red paper in the shop says ‘Butterfly Crisp’, which means Palmier (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmier). Three years ago, at the end of 2021, a film based on life in Shanghai was released in China, and it was a big hit. Even I didn't see it, I know that one of the plot points of the film was that one of the female characters liked to buy palmiers. As a result of this plot point, palmiers became a hot item in many pastry shops in Shanghai, with many non-Shanghai tourists even queuing up for more than four hours just to buy a bag of palmiers, a food item that before then was virtually unknown in China except for old Shanghainese people. This in turn led to many businesses that didn't sell palmiers to start selling them, but three years on, the palmier craze has cooled off and this vegetable shop is now selling them.
The left side has not changed much from three years ago. There are two pieces of white paper taped to the glass door with a tip about selling tea - the tea should be in the cupboard behind the door. In addition, two pieces of paper on the glass window contain information about rental properties and the agent's mobile phone number.
The lintel of the shop is full of small adverts for roller shutters, which didn't exist three years ago.
A friend was promoted last year and received a "new" office, filled with stuff left behind by a now retired professor. This Hermes 3000 typewriter was left in that office and needed a new home, so after a stopover for a cleaning and mechanical overhaul, it now lives with me. It was made in 1964, in Switzerland.
ENG: The Victory Column on the Großer Stern in the Großer Tiergarten is one of Germany's most important national monuments and one of Berlin's most important sights. Built between 1864 and 1873 by Heinrich Strack on Königsplatz to commemorate the Wars of Unification, it was moved to its current location between 1938 and 1939 together with the monuments to Bismarck, Roon and Moltke. When it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria and its German allies in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71), which gave the monument a new purpose. The addition of the 8.3 metre high bronze sculpture of the Roman goddess of victory Victoria, designed by Friedrich Drake, gave the Victory Column its current height of 67 metres. In the Berlin vernacular, she is also known as the "Goldelse".

GER: Die Siegessäule auf dem Großen Stern im Großen Tiergarten gehört zu den bedeutendsten Nationaldenkmälern Deutschlands und den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten Berlins. Erbaut 1864 bis 1873 von Heinrich Strack auf dem Königsplatz zur Erinnerung an die Einigungskriege, wurde sie 1938 bis 1939 zusammen mit den Denkmälern Bismarcks, Roons und Moltkes an den heutigen Standort versetzt. Als sie am 2. September 1873 eingeweiht wurde, hatte Preußen auch Österreich und seine deutschen Verbündeten im Österreichisch-Preußischen Krieg (1866) und Frankreich im Deutsch-Französischen Krieg (1870-71) besiegt, was dem Denkmal einen neuen Zweck gab. Das Hinzufügen der 8,3 m hohen Bronzeskulptur der römischen Siegesgöttin Victoria, die von Friedrich Drake entworfen wurde und der Siegessäule ihre heutige Höhe von 67 m verleiht. Im Berliner Volksmund wird sie auch „Goldelse“ genannt.
