This original drawing depicts the Grim Reaper in a strikingly terrifying manner, with exposed bones and a chilling presence. The Reaper sails in a boat and silently collects the souls of drowned sailors, fulfilling her eternal duty. The powerful and haunting image evokes dark fear, symbolizing mortality and the passage into the unknown, reflecting the essence of the Grim Reaper's role as a harbinger of the inevitable.
Met a friend on my morning walk, who was collecting sticks/kindling for her open fire & when she put her basket down on the sand to talk, I noticed the lovely shadows.
Plus an overuse of texture from snapseed app.

There are an increasing number of resort hotels on the coast west and east of Muscat. These offer dives, snorkeling, speedboat rides and water scooters. The coast beyond Quriyat can be reached by driving southeast on a four wheel drive. There are a variety of beaches between rocky outcrop, the most prominent being Mokallah (also known as White Beach). This spot is very popular for overnight camping on the shore and snorkelers.
Water Sports and Diving[edit]
Oman offers world class kitesurfing Conditions, due to the daily sea breeze effect. Kiteboarding centres can be found at Al Sawadi Beach 70 kilometres north of Muscat and especially on Masirah Island where the monsoon in summer guarantees wind steadily over 20 knots.[6] [7] Muscat city also offers clean safe conditions for learning to kitesurf. Alzaiba Beach is the hot spot for kite surfing and kitesurfing lessons.
With Oman's long coastline and clean unpolluted waters, there is a wealth of underwater flora, and marine life. Sea life is abundant with a variety of hard and soft corals. The waters around Oman have an average visibility of 20–30 meters.
Turtle, dolphin and bird watching[edit]
The turtle reserve is located at Ras al-Jinz near Sur
Several species of turtles living for over 100 years swim the length and breadth of the Indian Ocean and return every year to lay their eggs on the beaches of Ras al Hadd, Ras Al Junayz and Masirah island.
Dolphins frequent the seas of Oman on a regular basis and can be seen in close proximity to the coast. Fahal Island is a popular dolphin watching site. Spinner, Common and Bottlenose dolphins are most common.
Whales visit the shores beaches of the Sultanate at irregular intervals, especially in Ash Sharqiyah and Al Wusta regions, in addition to Dhofar Governorate. The most common types of whales that visit Oman are: Bryde’s Whales or Tropical Whales, Blue Whales, Humpback Whales, Sperm Whales, Dwarf Sperm Whales, Cuvier's Beaked Whale, Pygmy Killer Whales, Killer Whales, Melon-Headed Whales and False Killer Whale.
Oman is becoming increasingly popular with bird watchers. More than 460 different bird species have been recorded in Oman, out of which, 80 species have been classified as resident, while the rest are migrant and seasonal species. Oman offers a unique opportunity to watch birds from Europe, Africa and Asia in one spot during their annual migrations in Spring and Autumn. These migratory periods coincide with the cooler weather between October and April. Some of the common resident species one expects to see within or around Muscat include: Herons (Striated and Western Reef), Ospreys, Swift Term, Laughing Doves, Egyptian Vultures, and Indian Roller. Common Migrant and seasonal species include: Cattle Egret, Little Stint, Greater Flamingo, Caspian Gull, Spotted Flycatcher, Grey Heron, Dunlin, Sandwich Tern, Red and Green shanks, Ruff and White Wagtail.
There is an array of bird watching sites in other parts of the country. Eagles are popular in Musandam. Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in Al-Wusta Region provides an opportunity to watch desert species, notably Spotted Sand Grouse, Golden Eagle and Houbara Bustard. Masirah Island is the home of thousands of birds especially in the winter such as Greater Flamingo, Seagulls, Terns and Herons. Dhofar with its diverse terrain and monsoon rains is a true paradise for birds particularly African species.

What if all those forgotten dolls were really alive? Every wooden carving a vessel for a soul. And just like a child they craved attention.But as cruel as fate would have it,they had none. What if every day of collecting dust, they only became stronger. From wood to flesh, and from flesh to reality. Days of longing,would now be turned to hate. The twinkling of a music box to send shivers down your spine.

Cette collection a été faite par Mario Corriveau à la halte routière de Lavaltrie sur l'autoroute 40. Byssonectria terrestris pousse dans la litière, aux endroits où des animaux ont uriné.
Les apothécies mesuraient 1-1,5 mm de diamètre. Elles reposaient sur une épaisse couche gélatineuse. Les spores mesuraient 19-21,5 x 8,5-10 µm. Les paraphyses étaient courbées à l'apex, remplis d'un pigment granuleux orangé et fortement amyloïdes dans le Melzer. Les asques mesuraient 215-237 x 12-15 µm.
Le genre Byssonectria a été élucidé par Pfister dans un article publié en 1993. La littérature était auparavant assez confuse sur le sujet.

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black
Laos is blessed with some of Asia’s nicest rivers, and many of them are mellow. Children spent the day at school, and by the afternoon they were doing the chores required of them…building a fire for the kitchen, sweeping the leaves into a pile, or caring for the young siblings strapped to their back …young boys and girls from the age of seven or eight attentive to the baby’s every need. Amongst this was the laughter of children playing in the river. But sometimes they skip their days at school, going fishing and collecting snails from the river, or using long bamboo poles to knock crickets from the trees. They eat the crickets live or drop them into bottles and take them home for lunch or dinner.
Photo taken nearby the Tad Lo waterfall near the little town Kieng Than Lei - Laos. These ragged little urchins spend most of their days not at school, but fishing and collecting snails from the river. School is important for ethnic minority kids, they should attend and complete primary education in order to overcome rural/urban, ethnic in the area of literacy and education. But it isn't that easy. The reason to skip school are the family economic considerations, involvement in family maintenance and subsistence tasks, the lack of perceived benefits from education. While poverty and lack of access are issues. In addition to these, ethnic minority kids have to face further barriers to education, including the distance from school facilities, their extreme poverty, and additional cultural barriers and the lack of fluency in the national language, Lao. The ethnic kids speak their own language. About 32% of all Laotians are related to Ethnic groups. Totally 160 ethnic groups and speak 82 distinct living languages.
...an old lady washing her clothes in the river gave us a beautiful smile; the Laos people are so friendly. Kids have a great time running on the rampart, swimming in the Sexet river at the Tad Lo waterfall, taking boat rides along the river and playing. A bit futher south men washing their elephants in the river. Lao seems a bit like heaven, the laughter is often & sincere, the rivers are cool and clean and not a speck of modern civilization in sight. In my perspective it is some of the best Laos can offer.
Sarcophagus of the High Steward Djehutihotep, 19th dynasty.
1295 - 1186 BC. He is depicted as he was in his lifetime.
On the side of the sarcophagus, right to left, are representations of the gods Thoth, Amsit (?) then Anubis, Douamoutef and Thoth again at the other end.
Our daughter Marie-France just finished her third year in Zoology at Guelph University and is visiting us for a week before she goes back for summer employment. On Sunday we explored Cooper Marsh Conservation Area. Marie-France brought her bug collecting kit and was successful in collecting a few specimens. The outing also gave me a chance to try out a Lecia M10 that my good friend Perry McKenna lent me for a few weeks.
