It died, but its growth form may give some insight to its death. At the top left of the tree is a proliferation of branches that is decidedly non-juniperish. Forest biologists call these witches brooms, and they occur in a variety of conifers and deciduous trees. They are usually caused by fungi, viruses, or plant parasites called mistletoes. This growth may have been the last straw for a tree growing in an arid environment.

The yellow era didn't last long. The day after I took this shot, almost all of the remaining leaves fell to the ground.
Shift change this morning (June 5) happened between 9 and 9:15 am. The first rule of incubation when you return for your shift is to rotate the egg and that is being done now. It is only my best guess but I am wondering if this is a first time mating for this pair of loons. Common loons are sexually mature at the age of six and it is normal for them to have 2 eggs in the nest but it appears this pair may only have laid one egg. This egg is sitting high enough that I think if there were two, they would both be visible. Time will tell since we know they built the nest May 27 & 28 and their incubation period lasts from 28 - 31 days then this egg or eggs should hatch between June 25 and 29.

La plante est un Sumac vinaigrier
Le terme vinaigrier vient du fait que les fruits du Rhus typhina sont acides et parfois utilisés pour fabriquer une sorte de limonade rose.
" Le nid, construit par la femelle, est tissé de centaines de fibres végétales. En forme de bourse, il est généralement suspendu assez haut dans un arbre. La ponte compte habituellement 4 ou 5 oeufs qui sont incubés pendant 12 à 15 jours. Les jeunes prennent leur premier envol vers l'âge de 2 semaines. "

Psalm 71:9: “Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.”
Isaiah 46:4: “Even when you are old, I will take care of you, even when you have gray hair, I will carry you. I made you and I will support you; I will carry you and rescue you.”
This is the beautiful Stavanger Cathedral that I passed on a walk around the town. The stonework was amazing! “Stavanger Cathedral is Norway’s oldest cathedral and is considered the country’s best-preserved medieval cathedral.
It was built around 1125 and dedicated to Saint Swithun.
The cathedral has been in continuous use since the 1300s and remains the seat of the Diocese of Stavanger.
It is the only Norwegian cathedral from the Middle Ages that has largely retained its original appearance.”
I bought this hand made sculpture in Crete
some 30 years ago as a true 3D
replica of a restored mural in the bronze age palace of Knossos where the scene is set against a blue backdrop which I have tried to recreate here.
Sports, stunt or religion? I suppose we shall never have the exact answer as there are no written records and your imagination is as good as anyone else's. Likewise whether its depicting an aurochs or simply a domesticated bull. Some have maintained that the brown male is a worker, whilst the two white dames belong to the nobilty and so shed light on bronze age class society, and I suppose there is much more to be imagined and uttered.
The cemetery gates, threshold between life and death, something on my mind after the terrorist atrocities of yesterday. We never know when Death will come for us, be ready my friends. For some it cannot come too soon, whether because of old age or long term illness, for others they have so much more life they want to live yet are snatched away too soon.
Governments have no answers to the infection of terror threats, there is a sense in which it is already too late, yet we must live in hope, we must offer people hope. Where does your hope lie?
This gate to the old cemetery on Southampton Common had been closed for years, something to do with discouraging unwanted after dark activities. I never did understand the logic when there are other gates such people can use, but for some reason it is now opened again and in this light even looks like an inviting path.
