I was stood in a ditch to get this shot, I was looking mostly at the woodland in the background but the stick resting at the base of the tree next to me grabbed my attention. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.

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!

Crocus (plural: crocuses or croci) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub, and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in central and southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, on the islands of the Aegean, and across Central Asia to western China.
The name of the genus is derived from the Greek κρόκος (krokos). This, in turn, is probably a loan word from a Semitic language, related to Hebrew כרכום karkōm, Aramaic ܟܟܘܪܟܟܡܡܐ kurkama, and Arabic كركم kurkum, which mean "saffron" ( Crocus sativus), "saffron yellow" or turmeric (see Curcuma). The English name is a learned 16th-century adoption from the Latin, but Old English already had croh "saffron". The Classical Sanskrit कुङ्कुमं kunkumam "saffron" (Sushruta Samhita) is presumably also from the Semitic word.
Cultivation and harvesting of Crocus sativus for saffron was first documented in the Mediterranean, notably on the island of Crete. Frescos showing them are found at the Knossos site on Crete, as well as from the comparably aged Akrotiri site on Santorini.
The first crocus seen in the Netherlands, where crocus species are not native, were from corms brought back in the 1560s from Constantinople by the Holy Roman Emperor's ambassador to the Sublime Porte, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq. A few corms were forwarded to Carolus Clusius at the botanical garden in Leiden. By 1620, the approximate date of Ambrosius Bosschaert's painting (illustration, below), new garden varieties had been developed, such as the cream-colored crocus feathered with bronze at the base of the bouquet, similar to varieties still on the market. Bosschaert, working from a preparatory drawing to paint his composed piece spanning the whole of spring, exaggerated the crocus so that it passes for a tulip, but its narrow, grass-like leaves give it away.

Base image was one of my “Distortion Jewels” series, then transmogrified in iColorama, then upscaled, then repainted in ProCreate.
It feels like I have been working on this for months. The last stage was difficult and I’m still not sure I like the result. Sometimes paintings are like that, right?

This sharply attired black-and-white starling has a pointed yellowish bill with an orange base. Mainly black upperparts with white belly and white rump noticeable in flight. Note the bare, deep orange patch around its eye that contrasts with its white cheek. Easternmost birds have a white, streaked forehead. Seen in loose flocks close to human habitation feeding on human refuse. Garbage dumps, damp grazing lands, and well-watered parks are its favoured haunts. Noisy with a variety of calls that includes mimicked sounds of other birds. (eBird)

As we were getting organized to start the morning's birding, this lovely starling flew into the trees along the highway and sang briefly. A great start to Dubai birding.

Based on my observations of newt behavior and the time of year, I believe this is a male checking out a female.

The four DL Alcos that have just dropped their train in Pocono and Cresco are closing in on Scranton with their return train. The set is crossing Roaring Brook River viewed from Davis trail, a neat way to finish the day.

South African based artist, Sonny, has been travelling the world with his latest wildlife protection campaign “‘To The Bone” which aims to raise funds and awareness for endangered wildlife before it’s too late. His latest mural of a Rhino brings him to the streets of London.
The UK wall mural features a Rhino and a child and is the first of Sonny’s ‘To The Bone’ paintings to incorporate a human element. The mural can be found on the corner of Fell Road and High Street, 87-89 High Street, Croydon CR0 1QF.
His murals often show the endangered animals’ faces breaking away to reveal the raw skeletons underneath, symbolic of how these beautiful creatures are quickly fading away. Tribal patterns from the animals’ country of origin adorn the exposed bones, driving home the message that in losing them we are losing a part of our heritage too.

California-based Japanese American artist Mineo Mizuno’s site-specific sculpture, titled "Homage to Nature," is crafted from fallen timber gathered in the forests of the Sierra Nevada, where the artist lives and works. Using yakisugi (shou sugi), a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation known in the West as burnt timber cladding, the charred surfaces of the reclaimed timber in the sculpture speak not only to fire’s destructive power but also to its ability to reinvigorate the land.
