The Waxing Gibbous on August 10 has an illumination of 96%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On August 10 the Moon is 12.96 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases. Moongiant

Through the 1720's-1748, many garden designers worked at Stowe. Each experimented with styles for which they would later become famous, helping to make Stowe what you see today. Lord Cobham liked to work with the most fashionable forward thinkers of the time and intended to be a trendsetter for all who visited his estate to see his power. These included James Gibbs, William Kent and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to name a few.
Sorry for not posting photos for a few days.

The telegraph cables hum
And few can decipher who the message is from
And it deliver it quietly
Cause some don't get much company
The harbour becomes the sea
And lighting the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
And don't let it hurt you
Or it will be the first to
The water, the water
Didn't realize
It's dangerous size
The mountain, the mountain
Came to recognize
It's a steep and rocky sides
More than realized
Pale as a pile of bones
You hope for your babies
And this is how they grow
Wind-battered, knocked over
The teeth by the shoulder
Watching the grey sky
That's acting like a good guy
The water, the water
Came to realize
It's a dangerous size
The mountain the mountain
Came to recognize
It's steep and rocky sides
Came to recognize
It's steep and rocky sides
More than realized
Lyrics from Feist - The Water
hydrangea is opening up but still needs to become pinker,
wants to become as pink as the one in the back
"The star of the North
will bring the shaving.
But as if seen through the sea sail,
I will become a wave and a fire,
to embrace you abroad.
And you, my lost homeland, are far away,
you will become a caress and a wound
as if dawning on another earth.
Now I fly for the festival of life.
Now I fly for my joy's celebration.
My old moons,
my new birds,
chase the sun and the day from the mountain,
to see me pass
like lightning in the sky."

Lara has become part of our family for some time now... We found her abandoned in the streets and she was in a very bad shape... I cannot believe there are people that do this to animals! Those people don't deserve even the oxygen they breathe!..
Since we adopted her she has become a totally different dog. She is now very happy and very good friends with Lucky! Of course she is always with us where ever we go!
Lara has a family now! She is an adorable dog and we do our best to make her feel happy!
So here she is! I present you Lady Lara!

Only a few trains come a day.

The station becomes a lively landscape.
The baked good smell of bread has come.🍞

Barn Owl - Tyto Alba
Like most owls, the barn owl is nocturnal, relying on its acute sense of hearing when hunting in complete darkness. It often becomes active shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day when relocating from one roosting site to another. In Britain, on various Pacific Islands and perhaps elsewhere, it sometimes hunts by day. This practice may depend on whether the owl is mobbed by other birds if it emerges in daylight. However, in Britain, some birds continue to hunt by day even when mobbed by such birds as magpies, rooks and black-headed gulls, such diurnal activity possibly occurring when the previous night has been wet making hunting difficult. By contrast, in southern Europe and the tropics, the birds seem to be almost exclusively nocturnal, with the few birds that hunt by day being severely mobbed.
Barn owls are not particularly territorial but have a home range inside which they forage. For males in Scotland this has a radius of about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the nest site and an average size of about 300 hectares. Female home ranges largely coincide with that of their mates. Outside the breeding season, males and females usually roost separately, each one having about three favoured sites in which to conceal themselves by day, and which are also visited for short periods during the night. Roosting sites include holes in trees, fissures in cliffs, disused buildings, chimneys and haysheds and are often small in comparison to nesting sites. As the breeding season approaches, the birds move back to the vicinity of the chosen nest to roost.
Once a pair-bond has been formed, the male will make short flights at dusk around the nesting and roosting sites and then longer circuits to establish a home range. When he is later joined by the female, there is much chasing, turning and twisting in flight, and frequent screeches, the male's being high-pitched and tremulous and the female's lower and harsher. At later stages of courtship, the male emerges at dusk, climbs high into the sky and then swoops back to the vicinity of the female at speed. He then sets off to forage. The female meanwhile sits in an eminent position and preens, returning to the nest a minute or two before the male arrives with food for her. Such feeding behaviour of the female by the male is common, helps build the pair-bond and increases the female's fitness before egg-laying commences.
Barn owls are cavity nesters. They choose holes in trees, fissures in cliff faces, the large nests of other birds such as the hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) and, particularly in Europe and North America, old buildings such as farm sheds and church towers. Buildings are preferred to trees in wetter climates in the British Isles and provide better protection for fledglings from inclement weather. Trees tend to be in open habitats rather than in the middle of woodland and nest holes tend to be higher in North America than in Europe because of possible predation.
This bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the 1950s and '60s.
Nocturnal birds like the barn owl are poorly monitored by the Breeding Bird Survey and, subject to this caveat, numbers may have increased between 1995-2008.
Barn owls are a Schedule 1 and 9 species.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
Empty Chair
I sit alone at a table for two
An empty chair that once belonged to you
It is not just the empty chair
And the table for two
Some days seeing a table for two
I am reminded once more of you
The emptiness I feel all over again
Without you
Despite many years alone
I have become all too accustomed alone at a table for two
Many years have passed sitting alone at a table for two
It is in times of sorrow that a table for two
And the empty chair next to me
That I am saddened once more
It is then that I wish it could be you
In the empty chair next to me once more
Right here next to me
Playing footsies under the table
Squeezing my leg
Touching my finger as if you’re touching me for the first time
That look across the table of
I love you
It will be okay
I think of this world you left behind
It would be unrecognisable to you now
And I thank God in a way
You are set free from the state of this world
I miss you
Seeing a table for two
Just for today
I don’t want to sit once more
At a table for two
With that empty chair next to me
In memory of my beloved who departed this world so young
You are where you are meant to be - and I am where I am meant to be
Until we meet again in all eternity
Forever in my heart
. . . Chant Lyric
Can you become
Can you become
A new version of you
New wallpaper
New shoe leather
A new way home
I don't remember
New version of you
I need a new version of me
The Colored Canyon is one of the most visited attractions of the Sinai Peninsula / Egypt.
This subject is pretty close to the ground. Because of the large amount of dust that has been blown up, it can hardly be seen and becomes visible by pouring some water over it.
Der Colored Canyon ist eine der meistbesuchten Attraktionen der Sinai-Halbinsel/Ägypten.
Dieses Motiv befindet sich ziemlich nah am Boden. Wegen des vielen aufgewirbelten Staubs ist es kaum zu erkennen und wird dadurch sichtbar, indem man etwas Wasser darüber gießt.

You people are mistaken if you think that
I'm awake and celebrating anything that I've become.

Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower, is a large annual forb of the genus Helianthus is grown as a crop for its edible oil and edible fruits. It is a genus of plants comprising about 70 species. Except for three species in South America, all Helianthus species are native to North America and Central America. The species H. annuus typically grows during the summer and into early fall, with the peak growth season being mid-summer. Perennial sunflower species are not as common in garden use due to their tendency to spread rapidly and become invasive. Sunflowers are usually tall annual or perennial plants that in some species can grow to a height of 300 cm or more. They bear one or more wide, terminal capitula (flower heads), with bright yellow ray florets at the outside and yellow or maroon (also known as a brown/red) disc florets inside. 28624
Isolated from other walls and buttes working to become isolated pillars, Standing Rock is a well known feature of Monument Basin in Canyonlands, often seen and photographed from Grandview Point on Island in the Sky 2000’ / 600 m above. The north-facing slopes still hold snow from a significant storm 3 days prior to when this photo was taken.
Standing Rock was first climbed in 1962 by Layton Kor and colleagues, because as they put it “it won’t always be there.” They described the Organ Rock shale that the pillar is made of as "layers of rye-krisp sandwiched between layers of kitty litter." As you might guess few people have been on the summit of this 300’ / 90 m tower.
I had visited this area a year ago, managing to get a flat tire and lacking the appropriate lug nuts for the spare… that saga is best forgotten ;-). This year’s trip was successful in that I managed to drive the entire White Rim road, though the conditions were tricky at times with snow, ice, and slippery mud on steep slopes. The weather was also dicey at times with high winds, occasional snow, and cold temperatures. But hey, dramatic weather sometimes yields beautiful scenes.
(Tunisie) - Les îles Kerkennah ont longtemps été un petit paradis dont les habitants vivaient de la pêche et du tourisme. Mais depuis 2018 le paradis est devenu l’une des portes de l’enfer. Les migrants qui souhaitent gagner l’Italie, utilisent les ports du petit archipel tunisien pour rejoindre l’île de Lampedusa en Italie. Certains pêcheurs locaux se sont reconvertis en passeurs, activité lucrative dans un pays cruellement touché par le chômage.
D’autres, qui pour des questions morales, préfèrent continuer à gagner leur vie avec la pêche, remontent de nombreux cadavres dans leurs filets les lendemains de tempêtes.
La photo ci-dessus a été prise en 1996 dans le port de Kraten époque bénie où seuls les poissons se prenaient dans les filets.

The port of Kraten has become the gate of hell
(Tunisia) - The Kerkennah Islands have long been a small paradise whose inhabitants lived off fishing and tourism. But since 2018 paradise has become one of the gates of hell. Migrants wishing to reach Italy use the ports of the small Tunisian archipelago to reach the island of Lampedusa in Italy. Some local fishermen have become smugglers, a lucrative activity in a country severely affected by unemployment.
Others, who for moral reasons, prefer to continue to earn their living with fishing, bring up many corpses in their nets the day after storms.
The photo above was taken in 1996 in the port of Kraten, a blessed time when only the fish were caught in the nets.

Piranha rouge/Red-bellied piranha

Did anyone tell you
that in each subway train
there is one special seat
with a small hole in it
and underneath the seat
is a tank of piranha-fish
which have not been fed
for quite some time.
The fish become quite agitated
by the shoogling of the train
and jump up through the seat.
The resulting skeletons
of unlucky passengers
turn an honest penny
for the transport executive,
hanging far and wide
in medical schools.
(Edwin Morgan, "The Subway Piranhas")
always see them, for they're always there. :-)

Pelicans are a genus of large water birds that make up the family Pelecanidae. They are characterised by a long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped-up contents before swallowing. They have predominantly pale plumage, the exceptions being the brown and Peruvian pelicans. The bills, pouches, and bare facial skin of all species become brightly coloured before the breeding season. The eight living pelican species have a patchy global distribution, ranging latitudinally from the tropics to the temperate zone, though they are absent from interior South America and from polar regions and the open ocean. Pelicans frequent inland and coastal waters, where they feed principally on fish, catching them at or near the water surface. They are gregarious birds, travelling in flocks, hunting cooperatively, and breeding colonially. Four white-plumaged species tend to nest on the ground, and four brown or grey-plumaged species nest mainly in trees. The relationship between pelicans and people has often been contentious. The birds have been persecuted because of their perceived competition with commercial and recreational fishing. Their populations have fallen through habitat destruction, disturbance, and environmental pollution, and three species are of conservation concern. They also have a long history of cultural significance in mythology, and in Christian and heraldic iconography. 61272
I must say, I was shocked when I saw how nighttime changes an owl's face. While they become fearsome predators at night, they also become much more adorable to us humans, who have evolved to perceive large eyes as captivating and innocent.
In an effort to find area barred owls, I set out to a local park before sunrise and came upon this Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio) in the dark. This darkness was so inky and thick, in fact, that I could not see if he was in his hole or not, so trained my tripoded camera on the hole, manually focused, and finally saw him in the preview window! Shocked for sure by those massive pupils staring down at me, a frog (which he swallowed greedily prior to this photo and while I watched) in his talons!
Interestingly, owl eyeballs are not balls at all, but so well evolved for night vision that they have elongated into eye cones. For this reason, they cannot move their eyes in their sockets, and have evolved wildly-flexible necks. With their highly acute retinas replete with rods (the light and movement sensing eye bits), there wasn't much room for cones, and so most owls see limited or no color!

hand bags and glad rags by Rod Stewart
"Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you"
I love this time of day, the sun is going down and the moon is rising. I think it is romantic!!
