The green surf anemone 海葵, also called the giant green Pacific sea anemone, is not a plant, it's an active predator. It can grow up to 30 cm in diameter and its column can reach as tall as 30 cm. The color of the column is olive green. On the bottom of the column is the pedal disc, a sticky ‘foot’ used to adhere to various surfaces. The disc also allows the anemone to move around if conditions are not ideal. The disc can be green, grey, brown or blue. Atop the column is the mouth/anus (one opening serves both functions), which is surrounded by six or more rows of tentacles. The short, thick, light-green tentacles are tapered at the ends. The anemone’s green colour comes from algae living in its tissues. In areas where little sunlight reaches the anemone, such as caves, the algae are absent, and the anemones are white.
Knowledge about dinosaurs didn't suddenly begin in the 19th century - or with the popularisation of evolution, as some would have us believe.
So what were dinosaurs called before Richard Owen coined the term 'dinosaur' in 1842?
They were already well known creatures.
They were documented for thousands of years in literature, historical documents, art, the Bible, folklore and stories - in cultures and civilisations all around the world.
Their previous, generic name (in English) was 'dragon'.
It is obvious that 'dragons' were not simply the imaginary or mythical creatures that evolutionists imply.
Some people (who should know better) try to make a distinction between dinosaurs and dragons, as though they were not the same creatures. They insist that dragons were just imaginary, but dinosaurs are real.
Dragon was simply the name given to dinosaurs before the word 'dinosaur' (meaning terrible lizard) was invented.
Why do some wish to deny the fact that dragons and dinosaurs are the same?
It can only be because they would have to explain how ancient people, throughout history, and in all nations and cultures, knew that such creatures as dinosaurs existed and what they looked like? They were not all expert palaeontologists.
The accounts of dragons in literature and art, and even official documents, demonstrate that ancient people knew dragons/dinosaurs as real, living creatures they had actual experience of.

Why are we not told that?

Why are we lied to in the name of science?

Dinosaurs are widely presented as icons of progressive evolution. They are used to influence and persuade children from a young age that evolution is a fact.
However, they are not evidence for evolution at all - there is no sound evidence that dinosaurs/dragons evolved from anything else.
There are no intermediates in the fossil record which show the gradual, progressive evolution of dinosaurs.
It would have taken hundreds of millions of years for dinosaurs to evolve, so there should be numerous examples of transitional creatures preserved as fossils, but there are none. Dinosaurs just appear suddenly in the fossil record with no credible, fossil evidence showing their gradual development.

Shot taken in the middle of the day. So, I need a lot more power than normal. I used a 105mm lens. You can see the set up at lightenupandshoot.com "Return to Colombia (part 3)"
Yosemite National Park. The beautiful sunny clear day caused this wonderful reflection in the stream.
Lightenupandshoot did a video tonight and this is what we shot.
More or less we were just experimenting with two or three lights with gels. Lens flare, grids shot through a chair, softbox with the diffuser removed. Just goofin' around stuff.

No German garden is complete without a
monumental, over-scaled statue to something.
2 columns were built at the garden of Sanssouci Palace close to the Große Fontäne (Great Fountain) in the garden courtyard.
It is completely black outside, but with the help of long exposures of my camera and a flash light illuminating the foreground for a brief second, I was able to get these shots!

I wanted a bit of hard light so the light was a little further away than normal
I used shutter and aperture to control ambient. About 2.5 stops less than subject's exposure.
I had model wave the scarf. Slow shutter to capture movement.
In post production I added two photos for added texture and feel. A picture of a paint splattered wall and a wall with lots of rough texture. I blended them with modes "overlay" and "softlight." I then erased the texture in the face of the model.

Morning Glory - a very tiny flower. As the name suggests, most morning glory flowers unfurl into full bloom in the early morning. The flowers usually start to fade a few hours before the corolla begins to display visible curling.

is a fortified city, or ksar, along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. It is situated in Souss-Massa-Drâa on a hill along the Ounila River and is known for its kasbahs, although they take damage with each rainstorm. Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village at the other side of the river; however, eight families still live within the ksar.

Gargoyles spitting rain - That's right. Not only do these stone carvings protect the Cathedral from dark forces (at least according to tradition), they also protect the Cathedral from its arch nemesis — water damage. A gargoyle is essentially an elaborate waterspout that diverts rain away from the Cathedral walls.
