Yes, I am still confronting our huge and serious problems of today that we seem to want to ignore and yet which are real and are effecting our daily lives. We must address climate change and admit that it is we who are creating it and do something about it. Or are we just going to wait until it is too late???
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
It is important to help and understand those who are going through hard times right now and are confronting depression some of whom are on the verge of committing suicide, we should help them all that we can. Everyone is important and counts!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
La Mésange charbonnière est une grande mésange, la plus grande de celles auxquelles nous sommes confrontés dans l'ouest du continent.
Elle est remarquable par sa tête noire à larges joues blanches.
La Mésange charbonnière est très vocale en toutes saisons.
Elle possède un répertoire assez varié (40 notes distinctes connues) avec quelques constantes.

L'hiver vient ... et voilà ce week end nous avons eu les premières giboulées de neige !!! Aujourd'hui il fait bien froid, mais cela va radoucir ensuite parait-il.
Nos amis belges eux, n'ont pas pu profiter de leur week end avec les mesures prises pour leur sécurité ... alors soyons solidaires avec nos voisins, qui sont confrontés au même danger que nous.

This shot follows on from the last one (Happy New Year), and this was the sight I was confronted by when I emerged from the fog and the trees, and began climbing hgher onto Worcestershire Beacon. Pinnacle Hill was an island in a sea of fog that stretched for miles and miles in all directions, whilst above the winter sun shone down brightly on those of us who were lucky enough to share the spectacle.
Dès le milieu du Ier s. ap. J-C., Argentomagus se dote d'un théâtre où sa population peut assister aux ludi sacenici, aux jeux scéniques.
Un premier théâtre
Au Ier s., c'est le ballet tragique de la pantomime et le rire du mime qui règnent sur les scènes romaines, ravissant le public et honorant les dieux. Car c'est toujours à l'occasion d'une fête religieuse que l'on se rassemble au théâtre et que le spectacle est donné. Ce patronage divin se manifeste à l'intérieur de l'édifice par la présence d'autels ou de statues et souvent à l'extérieur, par la construction d'un temple d'où le dieu contemple les jeux qui se déroulent sous ses yeux.
En construisant un théâtre maçonné, Argentomagus affirmait sa primauté à l'intérieur du réseau des agglomérations secondaires bituriges. Le premier théâtre correspond au moment où les notables gallo-romains passaient commande d'édifices en pierre à des architectes qui tentaient d'adapter les plans romains au budget des petites villes et aux besoins du public. La première version du monument ne présentait qu'un seul mur maçonné. A l'intérieur, des gradins en bois s'alignaient sur la pente naturelle du coteau.
Trop petit, on construisit un second mur d'enceinte, ce qui permit de gagner en haut cinq gradins. C'est à la fin du Ier s. que la ville équipa son théâtre de gradins en pierre.
Un nouveau théâtre
Dans les années 150, les notables d'Argentomagus furent confrontés à un grave problème. Leur théâtre était en mauvais état. Le théâtre trop petit ne pouvait accueillir toute la population de la ville. Les notables prirent la décision de démolir le théâtre et d'en reconstruire un autre, plus grand.
S'ouvre alors l'un des plus grands chantiers que la ville ait connu : il faut d'abord démonter le premier théâtre, récupérer tous les blocs (seuils, gradins, marches) qui serviront dans le nouveau bâtiment et araser les murs. Il faut ensuite recreuser la partie inférieure de la pente et exhausser sur des remblais de terre la partie supérieure, afin d'augmenter le nombre des gradins et d'améliorer les conditions de visibilité. Il faut enfin élever les murs, construire les voûtes des passages rayonnants, mettre en place les gradins de la cavea et planter la scène et son décor.
Argentomagus possède désormais un théâtre de 85 m de diamètre, rythmé par des allées rayonnantes et concentriques qui répartissent rapidement le public.
Les notables disposent d'un gradin d'honneur qui s'appuie au mur de l'orchestra. De part et d'autre de la scène, leur sont réservées de grandes entrées, accessibles également aux spectateurs des premiers rangs de la cavea, et le prêtre ou l'éditeur qui préside aux ludi scaenici est installé sur une estrade à travers la cavea, le plan du nouvel édifice permet de respecter la hiérarchie entre les différentes catégories sociales et de souligner l'importance du groupe des notables.
Ainsi, le nouveau théâtre d'Argentomagus a beaucoup servi au long du IIe s., un peu moins pendant le IIIe s. où la Gaule, comme les autres régions de l'empire, connut de graves difficultés économiques.
L'amphithéâtre
Construit enfin totalement en pierre, le théâtre d'Argentomagus figurait désormais en bonne position sur la carte des édifices de spectacle de la cité des Bituriges Cubes.
Le nouveau monument fut implanté dans le tissu urbain, à l'articulation entre le noyau ancien de l'oppidum et la zone d'extension de l'agglomération gallo-romaine. L'édifice n'a jamais fait l'objet de fouilles; seuls deux de ses murs élevés dans un appareil à moellons quadrangulaires caractéristique du IIe s., ont été mis au jour. Un relevé des courbes de niveau donne au grand axe une longueur de 80 à 100 m et suggère que l'édifice présentait une orientation nord-est/sud-ouest.

Sarà interessante il confronto con le similari fatte da Davide con una Canon.
Qualche grado in più dell' ottica e avrei avuto la cornice naturale dell ' arco attraverso il quale ho fatto la foto.
As promised, here is the other wild canid commonly seen in and around Grasslands. I've spotted this individual three times along the access road to the park, where it was catching scores of grasshoppers in the roadside grasses. With the recent dump of snow, the grasshoppers are gone now, so this Coyote will have to find another survival strategy and I may not see it again. Results from the first two encounters were okay and mediocre, in that order, but third time lucky: the light was good, I was closer, and I came away with a couple of nice shots.
Somehow I like this look a lot. It's well aware of me, but looking into the middle distance, evaluating whatever scents are arriving on the breeze. Who knows what is going through its mind? That's the great mystery we confront when we spend time with another species. There is a gulf. An otherness that can only be guessed at, that makes every encounter special.

The Adder is the UK's only venomous snake, but its poison is generally of little danger to humans. Adders are secretive animals and prefer to slither off into the undergrowth than confront and bite humans and domestic animals; most attacks happen when they are trodden on or picked up. Instead, they use their venom to immobilise and kill their prey of small mammals, nestlings and lizards.
This female was seen during a reptile survey in Gloucestershire today.

"There’s a light that shines in the darkness.
There’s a destiny waiting at the end of the road.
There’s meaning in the middle of this emptiness.
There’s a reason you’ve been asked to carry this heavy load.
Lessons are taught when we reach out
Farther than we thought we’d ever dare.
Faith abounds when we confront our deepest doubts,
Enduring more than we dreamed we could ever bear.
There’s a dawn waiting at the edge of every midnight.
There’s a seed planted with every fallen leaf.
With every wrong there’s the chance to make a right.
With every hour of suffering there’s an eternity of relief.
Our darkest moments give us the opportunity
For seasons of our greatest growth.
Everyday we work towards continuity
Of acceptance and persistent hope"

For the #Macromonday #Yellow theme. Taken in my garden as the sunlight gently pushed through the shadows on one of my climbing shrubs against a wall.... Keep safe friends. Keep the hope alive... #MacroMondays
Done for the Tree-mendous Tuesday group.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕
Thanks to everyone who has visited. A confronting photo for some people. I appreciate very much the kind comments and faves which have been left.
A huntsman spider, probably Heteropoda jugulans. Male and female huntsman spiders are similar in size with the males having longer legs and females slightly bigger bodies. Actually, I am not sure whether this is a male or female. Unlike many spiders, the males do not risk being eaten after mating. Some species of huntsman spiders live in colonies. Normally, huntsman spiders are nocturnal. However, this spider was out in the afternoon. It has eight eyes. The upper four appear closed. Perhaps it was squinting because of the bright light.
For the Macro Mondays theme "Inspired by a Song". The song I chose is "Boris the Spider" by the Who. Perhaps a slightly larger spider than the Who had in mind but definitely a little creepy. The spider was on a variegated bromeliad leaf in my garden and was left undisturbed after being photographed. Huntsman spiders can also be found indoors.
Macrophotography has made me appreciate what a diverse and fascinating group of animals that spiders are.
HMM!

Boris the Spider by The Who
Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy,…
An Exmoor red deer stag confronts and chases away a younger stag who was trying to move in on his hinds...in most cases actual combat is a last resort and the dominant stag will rely on his size and loud bellowing to win the day.
Papua Barat is the Indonesian (western) half of the island of New Guinea, called Irian Jaya when this photograph was taken in 1971 at the beginning of my career in the oil industry, about which I have second, third and fourth thoughts nowadays in retirement confronting the reality of climate change. The helicopter was a French Alouette piloted by American Vietnam vets. The helipad was cut from the jungle by the crew of Papua Barat locals seen here. We expats flew into the jungle to conduct geophysical surveys in search of oil. Life was different then! BTW, please excuse these ancient, archived photos, but the processing tools are so good nowadays it's hard not to have another look at the past!
Un confronto tra due momenti, due sistemi, due elaborazioni: questa scattata con la compatta Lumix (7mm= e l'altra fatta con la Coolpix Nikon 8400 che vantava un obbiettivo più grandangolare (6,1mm),Questa rielaborata con i soli strumenti di Photoshop, l' altra con l' ausilio dell' HDR.
Lumix-Nikon game.
Confronted again by old nemesis, the wind. It was a dark, dark night with the lighthouse beams only darkening the almost-pitch black area.
On a previous visit I had slipped in some mud and messed up my hand, thereby ending the evening. I was a little more careful this time, although the gusts of wind threatened to push me off the cliffs a number of times.
Heading back to the car, now completely windswept, we noticed that the previously empty car park had another car in it. Not the doggers again! Seems like everywhere I go there are mysterious cars just waiting... watching...
....Allora Jamadagni disse: "Qual è il carattere che ci separò da ogni altro essere? E qual è la conoscenza che soltanto dai Saptarsi poteva essere trasmessa? Per noi la mente, il puro fatto dell'essere coscienti, si imponeva con un'evidenza ben superiore a ogni altra. La natura, in confronto, era un'opinione. Ovvero: la natura era un fondale oscillante o una momentanea fioritura o comunque qualcosa da trattare con la stessa sufficienza che, in epoche molto recenti, sarebbe stata riservata alle allucinazioni. Sottinteso fu questo: che tutto, fra gli dèi, come anche, alla fine, fra gli uomini, avvenisse all'interno della mente. Perciò la prima sostanza di cui era fatto il mondo non poteva essere che l'elemento in cui appariva la mente. Ma che cos'era? Un sottile calore, un ribollire nascosto, un ardere dietro alla superficie, che a tratti divampa, un fervere sulla cui cresta si aggrappano immagini, parole, emozioni....."
(R. Calasso, da "KA")

The northern end of Jackson Lake greets visitors who enter the Grand Tetons from the north. On this day we began to see the autumn color a few miles up the road. We rounded a curve in the highway and suddenly we were confronted by this enchanting view. It was enough to fill my eyes with tears and definitely resulted in a rapid turn out for photos. I'm a sentimental old fool.

This Little black cormorant was happily flying between a couple of the ponds at the wetlands this morning when things got decidedly scary! Suddenly confronted by a set of power lines which appeared from nowhere - an in-flight emergency was unfolding! Evasive manoeuvres - including rapid deceleration and deployment of the landing gear - was followed by short lived loss of all control - (panic)!
Fortunately with the obstacle avoided, the damage was limited to psychological trauma and loss of face. With composure somewhat restored it went on to perform an uneventful landing.
