Eine Biene wurde vom Regen überrascht und war nicht mehr in der Lage zu fliegen. Fazit liebe Biene- bei Regen bleibt man zu Hause oder man nimmt einen Regenschirm mit.
A bee was caught by the rain and was no longer able to fly. Conclusion dear bee - when it rains you stay at home or you take an umbrella with you.
I know there is a shortage of insects, which is very worrying, but this only hit home to me after I returned from a 830 mile journey, and there was hardly an insect on the windscreen or bumper...Years ago had to stop after twenty miles to clean them off...I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to why this is happening.
Réalisé par volonté de la Reine Marguerite de Savoie, qui séjournait à Gressoney déjà depuis 1889, hôte de la famille des barons Beck Peccoz, le château s’élève au pied du Col de la Ranzola dans le lieu-dit “Belvedere”, en raison de la superbe vue qui depuis là domine toute la vallée jusqu’au glacier du Lyskamm. La pose de la première pierre de l’édifice eut lieu le 24 août 1899 à la présence du Roi Umbert Ier qui, assassiné à Monza un an plus tard, n’eut pas la possibilité de voir la conclusion des travaux, terminés en 1904. Le manoir accueillit la Reine pendant ses séjours estivaux jusqu’en 1925, un an avant sa mort à Bordighera, le 4 janvier 1926. Après avoir été acheté par l’industriel milanais Moretti en 1936, le château devint propriété de la Région Autonome Vallée d’Aoste en 1981.
Realized by will of Queen Margaret of Savoy, who had been staying in Gressoney since 1889, guest of the family of the barons Beck Peccoz, the castle rises at the foot of the Col de la Ranzola in the place called “Belvedere”, due to of the superb view which from there dominates the whole valley up to the Lyskamm glacier. The laying of the first stone of the building took place on August 24, 1899 in the presence of King Umbert I who, assassinated in Monza a year later, did not have the opportunity to see the conclusion of the work, which was completed in 1904. The mansion hosted the Queen during her summer stays until 1925, a year before her death in Bordighera, on January 4, 1926. After being purchased by the Milanese industrialist Moretti in 1936, the castle became the property of the Autonomous Region Valle d 'Aosta in 1981.

Look what's been washed up on our beach recently.
There's only one possible conclusion: The Trump is dead!
Have a Happy Furry Friday dear Friends - because or despite of this tragedy!

A four shot verto-pano. I tried to be more creative with my entries for the various categories of LPOTY 2023 (Landscape Photographer of the Year) this year. I managed to get two shortlisted last year so this year I thought I would give it another go. Didn't do me any good though! All rejected. Anyone else more successful? I came to the conclusion I was wasting my time (and money). Will anyone see the beauty of such a shot as above, or is being uncreative and unimaginative all part of the "landscape" discipline?
If you haven't seen this before it's the extrordinary effect of the black grit being washed down from Ardnamurchan's surrounding volcanic mountains in streams that cross the white seashell sand of Fascadale Bay. Tide, waves, wind and gravity create fascinating patterns and shapes where they mix the dark and light sand and grit.
i bought this toothbrush holder that was pretty gross...and after cleaning it up and polishing it, i had to question how anyone could use it. stainless steel would show every drop of water and other stuff (ick) every time it was used unless the toothbrush was thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and dried! conclusion: poor design and a way to make an ocd person positively bonkers. solution: stick a marble in it.
random oldie, from the fourth of july shoot we randomly did :)
that was probably the best shoot I've ever gotten to be a part of :D
(kayla and grace)
haha, explored. I've come to the conclusion that explore is a bit bizarre and doesn't make much sense. but still, thanks :)
oh wow at #84! :)

The vessels caught my eye as I was looking at the curved seaweed on the shore and the setting sun provided the extra interest to get my camera out the bag.

A few of the Cormorant sculptures on the seafront at Morecambe captured at sunset as I made my way back to my car. The Lake District fells can be seen silhouetted in the background across Morecambe Bay.
It was amazing I captured this shot as I squelched back in my wellies having immersed myself in the sea in an attempt to wash off the mud I had accumulated in a close encounter with the notorious quicksand mud of Morecambe Bay!
Luckily my gear survived the ordeal and I live to fight another day!

Of course I didn't jump. I didn't even try.
Firstly, I'm not a cat and secondly, I don't suffer from chronic overestimation of myself. In addition, my life and my physical integrity are very important to me (even if it sometimes seems otherwise). However, none of that stopped me from at least climbing up there to take a photo. To be exact, I climbed up there four times until I found a composition that I liked. But who's counting?
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, including the Uttewalder Grund, where I am at the moment, is really a fantastic playground for the child in me. Probably one of the reasons, besides the photographic aspect, that triggers my fascination for this region.
By the way, when I come back from trips like this I always look like a child who has spent the whole day on the playground, in bad weather and without an adult around.
The more I look at the photo the more I come to the conclusion that I need a flashier jacket. Somehow I almost blend into the background. What do you all mean ?
Natürlich bin ich nicht gesprungen. Ich habe es nicht einmal versucht.
Zum enen bin ich nämlich keine Katze und zum anderen leide ich nicht an chronischer Selbstüberschätzung. Außerdem sind mir mein Leben und meine körperliche Unversehrtheit sehr wichtig (auch wenn es manchmal anders wirkt). Allerdings hat mich das alles nicht davon abgehalten zumindest dort hoch zu klettern um ein Foto zu achen. Um genau zu sein bin ich viermal dort hoch geklettert, bis ich eine Komposition gefunden hatte, die mir gefallen hat. Aber wer zählt da schon mit.
Das Elbsandsteingebirge, einschließlich dem Uttewalder Grund, in dem ich mich hier gerade befinde, ist schon echt ein grandioser Spielplatz für das Kind in mir. Wahrscheinlich einer der Gründe, neben dem fotografischen Aspekt, der meine Faszination für diese Region auslöst.
Wenn ich von solchen Ausflügen zurück komme sehe ich übrigens auch immer aus wie ein Kind, welches den ganzen Tag auf dem Spielplatz zugebracht hat, bei Schmuddelwetter und ohne das ein Erwachsener in der Nähe war.
Je öfter ich das Foto ansehe um so mehr komme ich zu dem Schluß, dass ich eine auffälligere Jacke brauche. Irgendwie verschmelze ich fast mit dem Hintergrund. Was meint Ihr ?

The red blob in the center confused me. How can it be on the back wall, and also reflected in the mirrored door? So I went with B&W in yesterday’s post, for clarity. Eventually I realized that the answer was obvious: don’t jump to conclusions.

Músicas cristianas 2020 | Todo está en las manos de Dios
Como Dios ha dicho antes: sostiene lo que dice,
y lo que sostiene siempre lo llevará a su conclusión
y nadie puede cambiar esto, nadie puede cambiar esto.
I
Trátese de palabras que ha dicho en el pasado
o de palabras que dirá en el futuro,
hará que todas se hagan realidad, una por una,
y permitirá que toda la humanidad vea que se vuelvan realidad.
Este es el principio detrás de la palabra y la obra de Dios.
De todo lo que acontece en el universo,
no hay nada en lo que Dios no tenga la última palabra.
¿Hay algo que no esté en las manos de Dios?
Todo lo que Dios diga se hace,
¿quién entre los seres humanos puede cambiar la voluntad de Dios?
¿Podría ser Su pacto que hizo en la tierra?
Nada puede impedir que Su plan continúe.
II
Dios está siempre presente en Su obra,
así como en el plan de Su gestión.
¿Quién entre los seres humanos puede entrometerse?
¿Quién entre los seres humanos puede entrometerse?
¿No es Dios quien ha hecho personalmente estos arreglos?
Entrar en este ámbito hoy
no se desvía del plan de Dios o de lo que ha anticipado;
Dios lo determinó todo hace mucho tiempo.
¿Quién de entre ustedes puede comprender esta etapa del plan de Dios?
El pueblo de Dios seguramente escuchará Su voz,
y todos y cada uno de los que lo aman realmente
regresarán ante Su trono,
regresarán ante Su trono,
regresarán ante Su trono.

A couple of summers ago I thought Pileated Woodpeckers were nesting in this hollowed-out tree trunk on Armand Bayou but I have since come to the conclusion that they only use it as an Airbnb when they find themselves in the area at bedtime. This single male poked his head out just before sunrise, popped out again on the backside and hammered a couple of tentative blows, then quickly departed for better breakfast choices over on Horsepen.

IL EST TROP TARD POUR SAUVER LA BANQUISE ESTIVALE EN ARCTIQUE ET LES RÉPERCUSSIONS VONT ÊTRE LITTÉRALEMENT CATASTROPHIQUES !!!
Une nouvelle étude révèle que nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre ont un impact plus important sur le réchauffement climatique que le prédisait le GIEC.
Ce n'est plus une surprise pour personne, du moins en dehors des recoins obscurs de certains réseaux sociaux : la banquise fond. Pendant des décennies, l'Arctique a servi d'exemple pour illustrer notre impact sur le climat terrestre. Et plus elle disparaît, plus la communauté scientifique exhorte les sociétés à faire plus d'efforts.
L'humanité est responsable de la quasi-totalité de la fonte des glaces
Une étude récente, dirigée par Seung-Ki Min, de l'université de Pohang, en Corée du Sud, a établi de nouvelles estimations de la fonte de la glace de mer arctique, sur la base de nouvelles données. Les résultats de son équipe ajoutent une couche supplémentaire à un alarmisme général : la banquise fond beaucoup plus vite qu'on ne le craignait.
En effet, le GIEC (Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat) avait prédit que la région perdrait sa glace d'été d'ici aux années 2040. Cette nouvelle étude est encore plus pessimiste, puisqu'elle affirme que cela pourrait se produire dix ans plus tôt. Il s'agit d'un repère intéressant, car c'est à la fin de cette saison que la banquise atteint son minimum annuel.
Pour parvenir à cette conclusion, l'équipe de Min a d'abord examiné l'impact de l'augmentation des gaz à effet de serre sur la fonte des glaces par rapport à d'autres facteurs naturels. Selon les chercheurs, l'humanité en est responsable à hauteur de 90 %. Le reste serait imputable aux variations de l'intensité solaire ou aux éruptions volcaniques, par exemple.
Un impact humain aussi important sur la fonte des glaces signifie que les efforts requis pour ralentir suffisamment le réchauffement climatique ont peut-être été sous-estimés jusqu'à présent. Pour Min, « nous devons réduire les émissions de CO₂ de manière plus ambitieuse et nous préparer à nous adapter à ce réchauffement plus rapide de l'Arctique ». En effet, son étude établit que, même si la hausse de la température globale est limitée à 2 °C, la glace d'été aura tout de même disparu d'ici à 2050.
Et le chercheur de rappeler les effets que cela aura sur notre climat : « une augmentation des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes que nous connaissons actuellement, tels que les vagues de chaleur, les incendies de forêt et les inondations ». En effet, la fonte des glaces entraîne des modifications du jet stream qui traverse l'hémisphère nord, un courant d'air rapide qui participe à réguler le climat en Amérique du Nord, en Europe et en Asie.
Mark Serreze, directeur du National Snow and Ice Data Center de l'université du Colorado, résume plutôt bien la situation : « Le message clé est que nous sommes en train de perdre le contrôle de la banquise ». D'autant que, plus l’océan est exposé, plus il absorbe la chaleur, entraînant ainsi un cercle vicieux qui sera toujours plus difficile et long à inverser, voire arrêter.
Bien sûr, il ne s'agit pas de renoncer à la transition énergétique, qui évolue rapidement, car un réchauffement global au-dessus de 2 °C pourrait avoir des conséquences bien plus désastreuses.
CEPENDANT, 2030 ARRIVE DANS MOINS DE DIX ANS, ET À L'ÉCHELLE DE NOTRE SOCIÉTÉ, CELA VEUT DIRE... DEMAIN !!!

IT IS TOO LATE TO SAVE THE SUMMER SEA ICE IN THE ARCTIC AND THE REPERCUSSIONS WILL BE LITERALLY CATASTROPHIC !
A new study reveals that our greenhouse gas emissions have a greater impact on global warming than predicted by the IPCC.
This is no longer a surprise to anyone, at least outside the dark corners of certain social networks: the sea ice is melting. For decades, the Arctic has served as an example to illustrate our impact on the Earth's climate. And the more it disappears, the more the scientific community urges societies to do more.
Humanity is responsible for almost all of the ice melting
A recent study, led by Seung-Ki Min of Pohang University in South Korea, has come up with new estimates of Arctic sea ice melt, based on new data. His team's results add another layer to general alarmism: the sea ice is melting much faster than feared.
Indeed, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) had predicted that the region would lose its summer ice by the 2040s. This new study is even more pessimistic, since it claims that this could happen ten years earlier. This is an interesting landmark, because it is at the end of this season that the pack ice reaches its annual minimum.
To reach this conclusion, Min's team first looked at the impact of increased greenhouse gases on melting ice compared to other natural factors. Humankind is responsible for 90% of this, researchers say. The rest would be attributable to variations in solar intensity or volcanic eruptions, for example.
Such a large human impact on melting ice means that the efforts required to sufficiently slow global warming may have been underestimated until now. For Min, "we need to reduce CO₂ emissions more ambitiously and prepare to adapt to this faster warming of the Arctic". Indeed, his study establishes that, even if the increase in global temperature is limited to 2°C, summer ice will still have disappeared by 2050.
And the researcher recalls the effects that this will have on our climate: "an increase in the extreme weather phenomena that we are currently experiencing, such as heat waves, forest fires and floods". Indeed, the melting of the ice leads to changes in the jet stream that crosses the northern hemisphere, a rapid air current that helps regulate the climate in North America, Europe and Asia.
Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado, sums it up pretty well: "The key message is that we are losing control of the sea ice." Especially since, the more the ocean is exposed, the more it absorbs heat, thus resulting in a vicious circle which will be always more difficult and longer to reverse, or even stop.
Of course, this is not about giving up on the rapidly evolving energy transition, as global warming above 2°C could have far more dire consequences.
HOWEVER, 2030 IS LESS THAN TEN YEARS AWAY, AND ON THE SCALE OF OUR SOCIETY, THAT MEANS... TOMORROW !!!

Marie Lou and her friend talk while walking back through a flower field before night fall
Friend : Did you ever wondered what we are for ?
Marie Lou : Hmmm... ?
Friend : Yeah, I mean why do we exist, why does anything exist in the first place...
Marie Lou : I don't know... All I know is that we have to fulfill our goals and dreams about what we currently know about the world
Friend : Totally, to go forward in our world, we need to accomplish goal, but are they real ? Or are we just a bit of imaginary ?
Marie Lou : I think we are all imaginary, our minds, our reality, our perception, nothing could be real. All locked behinf the curtain of stimulus of mind
Friend : Right...
Marie Lou : *sigh* Don't be troubled (Marie Lou smiled gently), let just our false reality be replaced by our dreams
Friend : (smile back at Marie Lou) Yeah, maybe one day we will figure it out
Marie Lou : That would be great ! Or at least I hope so. Do you wish to look at the stars with me ?
Friend : You bet !
The two friends lying down in the flower bed, staring at the night sky discussing about daily activities and theories before falling asleep under the slight summer breeze.
Hace unos días un amigo me prestó para probar su equipo OM system el renovado olympus micro 4/3.Es pronto para sacar conclusiones pero la ligereza y el manejo teniendo en cuenta que vamos con un 300-800mm es para tenerlo en cuenta sobre todo para viajes etc, la calidad a isos altos baja bastante pero aguanta bien hasta iso 1600 aprox si subimos más el ruido es muy molesto.Seguire si me da tiempo poniendo algunas más y comparando.
Saludos.
For the Finale of 'The Good Stuff', My Favorite Designers series, I've got 5 of the Original ladies from LaurenLand to model for me!
Top left is Petra in VM Designs
Top Middle is Marianne in Clear-lan
Top Right is Lissa in Clear-lan
Bottom left is Lisa in YokoDolls, and Bottom right is Liv in VM Designs
This was really fun for me to do and also a way I wanted to thank all who created these fashions.
The drawers behind the girls are all Clear-lan fashions.
Also I'm not sure if the names showed up on the boxes in earlier photos, so if they didn't there's Cozy Couture, and Hazel Street Designs who are also favorites of mine!
PS ... I didn't have time to put shoes on the ladies!!
A fungus seen on my walk yesterday. I've come to the conclusion that with the exception of some obvious types of fungi, most are very difficult to identify. I'm hoping I've got this one correct - but I am happy to be told otherwise.
I took a photo of my camera while it was exposing this shot. i.imgur.com/KF2nMZN.jpg
Deception Pass, WA
The beautiful 1970 registered E-Type Jaguar was seen on a recent visit to Hornsea. I had a good look at the wire wheels and came to the conclusion that they would take a couple of hours to clean after each trip out. Apart from that I would love one of these in my garage.
Given that the owner must appreciate everyone stopping to take a look at his sparkling motor I decided that he was well used to being in the public eye. For that reason I didn't bother blanking out the number plate.
