Así digo porque este hallazgo no fue casual, sino causal, porque me la paso revisando todo vivero que se cruce en mi
camino... En uno de esos recorridos hallé esta orbea variegata con dos flores colgando y cerrándose ya. De un lado de la planta colgaba la flor normal y del otro esta doble!!! o triple...no lo sé , es increíble.
La de la derecha como podréis observar la tuve que pegotear con cinta para lograr que se quede abierta para que se observe la particularidad de su estructura. Los pétalos exteriores son cinco , pero tiene cuatro centrales sin el círculo orbital característico, en su reemplazo hay cuatro pétalos pequeños doblados hacia atrás ...algo increíble que yo solo había visto en este artículo pero nunca había podido observarlo en la realidad...

En esta página al final y a la derecha se observa la flor tomada por el único que yo conozco la poseee , aquí está en la planta y de perfil, se observa bien cómo es este maravilloso ejemplar.
Never to late to get up.... ;)
Reload your happiness.

„Warning“: I love to create different moods with photograpy, words and music. So I often take such intensifier. It has no causal connection to my personal situation or the state of my mental health or mood. I‘m just a creatcher of moods. The most of you know, that it is an absolute pleasure for me to play with emotions, words, poems, sunset- and lake moods to transfer feelings or a special atmosphere. Do not discuss about me, just enjoy or ignore the text and please talk about photography. Thank you!
Causalidad
La Penumbra le dijo a la Sombra: "A ratos te mueves, otros te quedas quieta. Una vez te acuestas, otra te levantas. ¿Por qué eres tan cambiante?". "Dependo", dijo la Sombra, "de algo que me lleva de aquí para allá. Y ese algo a su vez depende de otro algo que lo obliga a moverse o a quedarse inmóvil. Como los anillos de la serpiente, o las alas del pájaro, que no se arrastran ni vuelan por voluntad propia, así yo. ¿Cómo quieres que responda a tu pregunta?".
(Chuang-Tzu) Octavio Paz
Ante mí hay un saco de manzanas, pero sólo puedo coger una. La libertad es la capacidad de elegir, después de considerar los pros y los contras, sin coacción exterior. Sin embargo, en un determinado momento habré de decidirme, pues de lo contrario acabaré como el asno de Buridán, que murió de hambre porque no podía elegir entre dos haces de heno idénticos.
(...) Todo desarrollo empieza con una elección ciega, una decisión precipitada que no puede explicarse como el resultado de una causa demostrable. El principio de razón insuficiente –lo hice porque sí, sin ningún motivo en particular- rompe la cadena de la causalidad.
Sin embargo, al elegir ciegamente un único aspecto entre muchos en un conjunto indiferenciado, surge un orden nuevo a partir del caos.
En términos más contundentes: la estupidez está presente en cualquier decisión. Cada vez que tomamos una decisión, abrimos el abismo de la idiotez. Cada decisión, por muy trivial que sea, es un salto en la oscuridad.

Difícilmente puede encontrarse un espíritu de investigación científica que carezca de una religiosidad específica, propia. Sin embargo ésta se diferencia de la del hombre ingenuo. Para éste, Dios es un ente en cuya solicitud se tiene esperanza, y temor de su castigo -sublimado sentimiento de la relación entre padre e hijo-, un ente con el que se establece, en cierta medida, una relación personal.
Pero el investigador está impregnado por la causalidad de todos los hechos. El futuro no es ni menos importante ni está menos determinado que el pasado. Para él la moral no es una materia divina sino puramente humana. Su religiosidad se apoya en el asombro ante la armonía de las leyes que rigen la Naturaleza, en la que se manifiesta una racionalidad tal, que en contraposición con ella toda estructura del pensamiento humano se convierte en insignificante destello. Este sentimiento es la razón principal de su vida, y puede elevarlo por encima de la servidumbre a los deseos egoístas.
No hay duda de que este sentimiento está muy allegado al que colma los caracteres creadores y religiosos de todos los tiempos.
(Mi visión del mundo) Albert Einstein
ogni cosa attorno
ha l'odore inalterato dell'assenza.
è ciò che accade quando
i contorni di un ricordo
si sgretolano in frammenti infinitesimali.
in realtà tutto rimane com'era,
è la percezione che cambia.
è la differenza tra una tela appena dipinta
e la medesima tela trecento anni dopo.
le crepe nel colore.
la medesima immagine,
si scompone senza cambiare veramente.
ed io mi ritrovo qui
in un punto causale di uno spazio casuale,
dove tutto attorno è teso,
sul punto di sgretolarsi.
e la soddisfazione è infinita
in quell'istante,
prima che tutto vada in pezzi,
prima che tutto giunga al termine.
bianco e nero sono il medesimo colore
nel mio pensiero circolare.
è tutto qui.
e ciclicamente si ripete.

Mi familia preferida, Apocynaceae y subfamilia asclepiadoideae. Es originaria de Äfrica y puede resultar invasiva si se descontrola...pena que en casa tengo que cuidarla muchísimo.
Hoy la saqué para limpiar porque ha tenido Cochinilla algodonosa en abundancia, las lluvias favorecieron la plaga y como no la descubrí a tiempo he tenido que tirar todo el compost y limpiar las rendijas de la planta con un cepillo de dientes... son terribles estas plagas, y una de las causales de mis pérdidas de ejemplares lamentablemente... Tengo todas las plantas en terapia intensiva!!
Me gusta esta flor porque no es nunca igual a la de otra planta, tiene diferencia de tamaño forma y color.
Dejo algunas fotos tomadas en otras oportunidades .

Like a warm gentle breeze blowing over the flower meadow. It is enough if I think of you. You enchant everything. Like a wave that sweeps me gently and breaks my will. A glance is enough and the laws of nature are suspended. Your gentle voice moves mountains. Your grace makes everything melt like snowflakes. A deep lake in your dark eyes. Rain is raining from the bottom up. Rainbows with steps to the clouds. A star in the sky that only shines for you. I give it to you and the place in my heart.

Für die Schachblume besteht bzw. bestanden auch die weiteren deutschsprachigen Trivialnamen: Fritillariablum, Kiewitsei (Unterweser), Kiwitzei, Kukukstulpe (Pommern) und Perlhuhntulpe (Pommern).
Die Schachblume ist in Deutschland stark gefährdet und gilt nach der Bundesartenschutzverordnung (BArtSchV) ebenso wie in Österreich in den einzelnen Bundesländern als besonders geschützt. 1993 wurde sie als Blume des Jahres ausgewählt. Sie ist hauptsächlich durch die Zerstörung ihrer natürlichen Lebensräume in Feucht- und Nasswiesen, Auwäldern und Überschwemmungsbereichen von Flüssen (Flussauen) bedroht. Weiter wirkt sich die anhaltende Eutrophierung der Böden durch Düngemittel ursächlich bestandsmindernd aus. In Österreich gilt die Schachblume als vom Aussterben bedroht. In der Schweiz ist sie seit 2000 vollständig geschützt.

The other German-language trivial names exist or existed for the chess flower: Fritillariablum, Kiewitsei (Unterweser), Kiwitzei, Kukukstulpe (Pomeranian) and Perlhuhntulpe (Pomeranian).
The checkered flower is highly endangered in Germany and is considered to be particularly protected in the individual federal states according to the Federal Species Protection Ordinance (BArtSchV) as well as in Austria. In 1993 she was chosen as flower of the year. It is mainly threatened by the destruction of its natural habitats in damp and wet meadows, alluvial forests and flood plains of rivers (river floodplains). Furthermore, the persistent eutrophication of the soil through fertilizers has a causal effect on stocks. In Austria, the chess flower is considered to be in danger of extinction. It has been fully protected in Switzerland since 2000.

I am used to seeing dead Kangaroos by the side of the road. I see them most days around where I live. However, I don't see too many dead Koalas but on this trip to Portland, I saw so many. Now I know why. They are so vulnerable on the ground to predators but in particular, cars and spend most of their time in Eucalypt trees where they are safe.
We came around the bend to find this fellow in the middle of the road. He was in no hurry to move on so we parked the car to alert on-coming drivers. He stared at me for quite a time, then causally walked off the road into the adjacent bush.
das Kunstwerk beginnt mit einer hohlen Halbkugel, steigert sich zu einer fast geschlossenen Kugel, wird zur Kugel und geht von dieser künstlichen Form über zu Fast-Naturprodukten, dann deren Abstarktionen und endet in einer art Doppelpyramide, die hier verdeckt ist aber in meinem anderen Foto zu sehen ist. Aus bestimmten Winkeln übernimmt jede nächste Skulptur einen Teil der Außenumrisse seiner Nachbarn.

Birds are enjoying or more likely not enjoying the snow. Seems like we are experiencing a never ending snowstorm here in the Yakima Valley, Washington. The birds seem happy that I am feeding them but I may have to leave the causal life of retirement and get a job so that I can afford the feed. Fortunately I was lucky to get some free birdseed and suet from a friend. I think the Sharp-shinned hawk is happy that I am feeding birds but he/she doesn't seem to want suet or seed. She wants meat. I wish she would limit her diet to starlings and House Sparrows. IMG_4044
It's wonderful to see a pair of Greenfinch's in my garden, sadly they have become a rare visitor since the outbreak of a disease called "Trichomonosis"
Trichomonosis is the name given to a disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas gallinae. It has been recorded in a number of garden bird species and is widely acknowledged to be the causal factor in the rapid decline of the British Greenfinch population that was first noted in late summer 2006. The disease is also known as ‘canker’ when seen in pigeons and doves, and as ‘frounce’ when seen in birds of prey. It has been known as a disease of cage birds for some time.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, your comments or criticism is very much appreciated, take care,stay safe and have a wonderful weekend my flickr friends
Si sospendono i vaccini AstraZeneca per tre morti sospette, con cui c'è una relazione temporale, ma sembra non causale. Precauzione? (o interessi politici ed economici? ) Nel frattempo in tre giorni moriranno per Covid più di mille persone...
Sento che oggi c'è stato un altro doppio femminicidio. Non se ne può più : 91 nel 2020 e nel 2021 sono aumentati , ogni giorno si sente la notizia di donne che muoiono, in genere per mano di chi diceva di amarle. Ma non si possono sospendere anche gli uomini?

El mundo no tiene realidad; el espacio, el tiempo y el principio de causalidad no existen fuera de nosotros tal como nosotros lo vemos. Pueden ser distintos, pueden no existir... Así como nuestra retina produce los colores, nuestro cerebro produce las ideas de tiempo, de espacio y de causalidad.

Back home with the head full of impressions.
Waves are so wonderful. If I had the sea near by my side it would be another passion from me to photograph waves in all their beauty. They are so emotional as humans, so merciless, wild, but also gentle, smooth and sweet. What a passion and luck to live at the sea!

Don’t look now Harriet but have you seen that idiot standing on the wet rocks at the edge of the waterfall. I know Henriette, just pretend we are looking at the view and if you hear a splash just causally walk on.

This is a shot from a small art fair we walked through last Saturday. I spotted these interesting wheel art pieces and thought they would represent an interesting photograph.
As I aimed my camera, the artist asked me a question I get often and maybe you do too: "Who are you taking pictures for?" The female artist seemed in a good mood so I causally replied " For the Guggenheim Museum in New York City." She was quick and fired back "Yeah, and I am Henri Matisse's great-granddaughter. Gotcha!!!" We both laughed.

two days ago i was outside reading. it was so warm and mild
that i fell asleep and that day lingered into a beautiful
clear night. the next morning i bundled up, went for a walk and made this image - today it’s kinda in between
it feels like the weather has been mirroring my psychic state.
i recall being around 7 years old and wishing that i wouldn’t have
to go to my uncle’s house for the summer and then he got hit
by a bus.
i also remember reading carl jung’s work about “a-causal” relationships.
i found it simultaneously compelling but hard to understand - back then I
had a job working for a lumber company cutting ski runs above lake tahoe -
I’d go to the casinos at night but no matter what I thought about I never
won any money
it begins with an open half-shell, which is covered here and slowly goes over to the hewn natural product in order to then continue to abstract this form, turning into a cultural product again.
Depending on the viewing angle, each mirrored sculpture takes on the form of the neighboring sculpture in the outer contours.
Art meets an expansion joint in the concrete and a round lid to cover a technology shaft ... I particularly liked this encounter with the banal everyday life ...

The anticipatory stance claims that our minds’ exceptional capacity for thought is not due either to a blind reshuffling of primeval atoms nor to their belonging to a timeless nonmaterial world but to the arrival of meaning, goodness, and truth from up ahead.
… The anticipatory stance locates the phenomenon of thought at the forward edge of a temporal universe that over the long haul has been awakening—not without the drama caused by chance, setbacks, and long periods of silence—to fuller being and deeper meaning up ahead in the sphere of the not-yet…
… Thought, from one point of view, is the outcome of a causally continuous physical process, but from another—equally legitimate—point of view it is part of the universe’s dramatic awakening to incorruptible meaning, truth, goodness, and beauty.

Magpie - Pica Pica......
The Eurasian magpie or common magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout northern part of Eurasian continent. It is one of several birds in the crow family designated magpies, and belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. In Europe, "magpie" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European magpie: the only other magpie in Europe is the Iberian magpie (Cyanopica cooki), which is limited to the Iberian Peninsula.
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all non-human animals. The expansion of its nidopallium is approximately the same in its relative size as the brain of chimpanzees, orangutans and humans.
Magpies were originally known as simply "pies". This comes from a proto-Indoeuropean root meaning "pointed", in reference to either the beak or the tail. The prefix "mag" dates from the 16th century and comes from the short form of the given name Margaret, which was once used to mean women in general (as Joe or Jack is used for men today); the pie's call was considered to sound like the idle chattering of a woman, and so it came to be called the "Mag pie". "Pie" as a term for the bird dates to the 13th century, and the word "pied", first recorded in 1552, became applied to other birds that resembled the magpie in having black-and-white plumage.
The range of the magpie extends across temperate Eurasia from Spain and Ireland in the west to the Kamchatka Peninsula. The species has been introduced in Japan on the island of Kyushu.
The preferred habit is open countryside with scattered trees and magpies are normally absent from treeless areas and dense forests. They sometimes breed at high densities in suburban settings such as parks and gardens. They can often be found close to the centre of cities.
Magpies are normally sedentary and spend winters close to their nesting territories but birds living near the northern limit of their range in Sweden, Finland and Russia can move south in harsh weather.
A study conducted near Sheffield in Britain, using birds with coloured rings on their legs, found that only 22% of fledglings survived their first year. For subsequent years, the survival rate for the adult birds was 69%, implying that for those birds that survive the first year, the average total lifespan was 3.7 years. The maximum age recorded for a magpie is 21 years and 8 months for a bird from near Coventry in England that was ringed in 1925 and shot in 1947.
The Eurasian magpie is believed not only to be among the most intelligent of birds but among the most intelligent of all animals. Along with the jackdaw, the Eurasian magpie's nidopallium is approximately the same relative size as those in chimpanzees and humans, significantly larger than the gibbon's. Like other corvids, such as ravens and crows, their total brain-to-body mass ratio is equal to most great apes and cetaceans. A 2004 review suggests that the intelligence of the corvid family to which the Eurasian magpie belongs is equivalent to that of great apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas) in terms of social cognition, causal reasoning, flexibility, imagination and prospection.
Magpies have been observed engaging in elaborate social rituals, possibly including the expression of grief. Mirror self-recognition has been demonstrated in European magpies, making them one of only a few species to possess this capability.The cognitive abilities of the Eurasian magpie are regarded as evidence that intelligence evolved independently in both corvids and primates. This is indicated by tool use, an ability to hide and store food across seasons, episodic memory, using their own experience to predict the behavior of conspecifics. Another behaviour exhibiting intelligence is cutting their food in correctly sized proportions for the size of their young. In captivity, magpies have been observed counting up to get food, imitating human voices, and regularly using tools to clean their own cages.[citation needed] In the wild, they organise themselves into gangs and use complex strategies hunting other birds and when confronted by predators.
In Europe, magpies have been historically demonized by humans, mainly as a result of superstition and myth. The bird has found itself in this situation mainly by association, says Steve Roud: Large blackbirds, like crows and ravens, are viewed as evil in British folklore and white birds are viewed as good". In European folklore, the magpie is associated with a number of superstitions surrounding its reputation as an omen of ill fortune. In the 19th century book, A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar, a proverb concerning magpies is recited: A single magpie in spring, foul weather will bring The book further explains that this superstition arises from the habits of pairs of magpies to forage together only when the weather is fine. In Scotland, a magpie near the window of the house is said to foretell death. An English tradition holds that a single magpie be greeted with a salutation in order to ward off the bad luck it may bring. A greeting might take the form of saying the words ‘Good morning, Mr Magpie, how are Mrs Magpie and all the other little magpies?’

Hace un tiempo, pasando las vacaciones de navidad como suelo hacer todos los años por el pueblo de mi pareja en Sevilla localice un territorio de búho real, muy cerca del pueblo para mi sorpresa, una mañana dando un paseo. Ya que me había llevado el equipo de fotografía por otros menesteres, esa misma tarde me oculté a cierta distancia en el hide silla y antes de que el sol se pusiera ya estaban los búhos activos, la hembra se asomó a una de las repisas que tenia a tiro y causalmente la más cercana, me miró unos segundos y desapareció igual que había llegado, eso si, antes le pille unas cuantas tomas.
Saludos.
