These are the consequences of the Philomena storm in Madrid capital. A wonderful day to take pictures.
The most important snowfall in a century. It never snows in central Madrid

Phenotypic plasticity and the "Hourglass" Biology
If you find a still pond with a smooth, motionless surface, reflecting the surroundings like a mirror, you're likely in a place inhabited by the blue princes, tadpoles. They need to live in still, calm ponds to carry out their vital process, metamorphosis, a drastic biological transformation through which a living being physically develops after birth or hatching. This involves notable and often abrupt changes in its body structure, physiology, and behavior until it becomes an adult. A tadpole has a small tail, which serves as both its safety and its engine.. It has no legs, and it breathes through gills, absorbing oxygen dissolved in the water. Throughout the metamorphosis that typically lasts ten to twelve weeks in many frog species, but even months or years in some, many morphological structures and physiological functions must change to adapt to terrestrial life. These include developing four legs, changing their respiratory system to a pulmonary one to breathe oxygen from the air, and losing their small but crucial tail through absorption. The genotype is the complete set of genetic information possessed by a living being, located in the nucleus of cells and inherited from the parents. The phenotype, on the other hand, is the observable and physical expression of these genes; it is the appearance of an organism, its morphological and functional characteristics, its behavior... all influenced by its daily environment. We do not see an organism's genotype, but rather its resulting phenotype. In evolutionary biology, there is a very important concept called "phenotypic plasticity," the capacity of genes or a single genotype to produce different phenotypes in their morphology, physiology, or behavior. It is a response to environmental variations. It acts as an adaptive mechanism, allowing rapid adjustments to new or changing conditions, enabling organisms to survive in changing or extreme environments. It is considered a key factor in the evolution of species and an important genetic basis for adaptation. One of the most striking examples is frogs. When water begins to run low in a pond due to lack of replenishment or evaporation, it becomes saturated with mineral salts. This is detected by the tadpole, triggering an alert signal and an increase in stress hormones, corticosteroids, secreted into the water. This mixture of both substances sets off alarm bells in all the tadpoles in the pond and is perceived as an imminent sign of danger. This presents them with two difficult choices. One possibility is to remain in the pond, waiting for rain or for the water level to rise.. But the future is impossible to predict, even for a tadpole. The second alternative is "phenotypic plasticity," a race against the biological clock that involves a sacrifice and consists of accelerating the metamorphosis process. This alternative is to stop growing and speed up the metamorphic transformation process to become an adult, reducing the transformation time that is necessary and vital for normal metamorphosis. But this comes at a high price. The main consequences are that the frog's body doesn't develop; it grows very little in volume, resulting in a tiny frog, generally only two or three centimeters long. Another characteristic is their low fat reserves. And of all the other characteristics that remain incomplete, the inability to properly develop their immune system makes them even more vulnerable. All these accelerated and incomplete changes make the frog extremely fragile, with a very uncertain future for survival. Ultimately, both options are a coin toss, a life-or-death gamble, a difficult decision. Staying in the pond waiting for rain is unpredictable and risks dying from desiccation. Growing into adulthood but paying the price of being very small and fragile is also a risky gamble where the chances of survival are difficult to predict. Complicated decisions in the face of complicated environmental situations. Anyway, don't worry about the tadpoles, about the princes charming, because in the end... it did rain...

This group of Greater Flamingos were performing their mating dance and display for dominance in Camargue, France.
The two flamingos in the center of this photography get their necks entangled with each other.
They quickly worked it out and then the group continued to perform the dancing ritual.
There are nine different postures during the courtship display and from these postures, there are more than 100 possible transitions between the postures.
The dance is a beautiful group behavior to watch and listen to.

Consequences in the Netherlands It is also getting warmer in the Netherlands and the sea level is rising. The main consequences of climate change for the Netherlands: The weather is becoming more extreme: more heavy showers, more heat waves. There is a greater risk of flooding: the rivers and sewers are no longer able to drain the water properly during heavy rainfall. Nature in the Netherlands is changing: species that originally come from warmer areas, feel more and more at home in the Netherlands. Well-known examples are the oak processionary caterpillar, the small hermit crab, certain tick species and the "hay fever plant" Ambrosia. Another effect is that spring starts earlier: plants bloom earlier, trees sprout earlier, insects appear earlier and birds breed earlier in the year. This can cause problems, for example for migratory birds that missed the insect peak upon arrival in the Netherlands and cannot find enough food. Species that cannot adapt quickly enough to changing circumstances run the risk of disappearing. There are also advantages: we can grow other vegetable and plant species because they will do better in the Netherlands. Winters are getting milder; it will freeze less often. It is getting wetter: in the spring, autumn and winter there is more rainfall. Summers are getting drier and hotter. There are more summer and tropical days. In the Netherlands, the consequences of climate change can probably be controlled. We can strengthen dikes and dunes and create storage areas along rivers for extra river water. You can also help to limit waterlogging by applying fewer tiles and more greenery in your garden. Rainwater can then sink into the soil, so that the sewer is less overloaded (so: less flooded basements and streets).
That special day.
you remember it.
22-12-2007, there was frozen fog on the trees and a blue sky. It was just a few hours. It was marvelous.
The consequences of our rainy spring months are still visible, but at least the light is getting better. We've had sunshine for three days in a row now, which is a first this year.

Allium cernuum (or ladies leek) is one of the smallest and most delicate plants in our garden. As a consequence it receives a lot of care . The whole plant is only 6 inches high the flowers are tiny forming on slender erect stems, nodding at the tips. Its not a plant I see in many gardens. it is very slow to spread the small area I have of them may have just about doubled in size in fifteen years. you may have to bend down low to see it but its a gorgeous little plant

Last steps before lockdown... Return of the confinement here, one year after the first.
One year after, the same questions, the same doubts, the same fears, the tiredness in more. To confine earlier, later, for what purpose?
I hear the sound of a wave, the nth wave, coming. A wave linked to postponed surgeries, to psychological distress, to the fear of entering a new tunnel. An invisible wave, but there, with impalpable consequences.
A last step outside, a last step free to feel the sand...

These last two years have been really hard for the consequences of the already pandemic drought that we are suffering in Spain.
Most of the reservoirs, whose dams were built mostly at the time of the dictator, General Franco, to alleviate in part the effects of the droughts, are running empty.
In some cases, the level of the waters of these reservoirs submerged entire towns, as happened with the town of Linares, a few kilometers from Maderuelo.
In the case of Maderuelo, the medieval bridge was submerged, as well as the hermitage of Vera Cruz (True Cross), that was partially submerged, whose beautiful frescoes had to be transferred to the Prado Museum in Madrid.
But in times of drought, the bridge re-emerges and we have verified that it is in a very good state of conservation.
In this photo you can see the medieval bridge next to the main bridge
And in the related photo, you can see the state of the water level in the reservoir, last August.

CONSECUENCIAS DE LA SEQUÍA, MADERUELO, SEGOVIA, ESPAÑA, 2022
Estos dos últimos años han sido realmente duros para las consecuencias de la ya pandémica sequía que sufrimos en España.
La mayoría de los embalses, cuyas presas se contruyeron en su mayoría en la época del dictador, general Franco, para paliar en parte los efectos de las sequías, se están quedando vacíos.
En algunos casos, el nivel de las aguas de estos embalses llegó a sumergir pueblos enteros, como ocurrió con el pueblo de Linares, a pocos kilómetros de Maderuelo.
En el caso de Maderuelo, el puente medieval quedó sumergido, así como también quedó parcialmente sumergida la ermita de la Vera Cruz (True Cross), cuyos bellísimos frescos tuvieron que ser trasladados al museo del Prado en Madrid.
Pero en épocas de sequía, el puente vuelve a emerger y hemos comprobado que se encuentra en muy buen estado de conservación.
En esta foto se puede ver el puente medieval junto al puente principal
Y en la foto relacionada, se puede ver el estado del nivel del agua del embalse, el pasado mes de agosto.

Markyate's High Street follows the bed of the River Ver, so is sloping, approximately from north to south. This is the northern and higher end of High Street. The building reflects this situation too in that one end is higher above the ground than the other. There are consequences if, as here, you put the entrance to your home at the higher end.
Nothing twice
Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence, the sorry fact is2
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to practice.
Even if there is no one dumber,
if you're the planet's biggest dunce,
you can't repeat the class in summer:
this course is only offered once.
No day copies yesterday,
no two nights will teach what bliss is
in precisely the same way,
with precisely the same kisses.
One day, perhaps some idle tongue
mentions your name by accident:
I feel as if a rose were flung
into the room, all hue and scent.
The next day, though you're here with me,
I can't help looking at the clock:
A rose? A rose? What could that be?
Is it a flower or a rock?
Why do we treat the fleeting day
with so much needless fear and sorrow?
It's in its nature not to stay:
Today is always gone tomorrow.
With smiles and kisses, we prefer
to seek accord beneath our star,
although we're different (we concur)
just as two drops of water are.

und die Tatsache, dass keiner weiß, wie viele noch kommen -
macht mittlerweile müde.
Erneute Forderungen nach weiteren Kontaktbeschränkungen sogen für Unverständnis und ja - auch Ärger.
Mittlerweile kann ich nur noch die Spiegel in der Wohnung abnehmen, um keinem mehr zu nahe zu kommen ;-)))
Das macht mich "Mütend" - und es ist zugleich die neue Wortschöpfung dieser Zeit.
The seawater has receded due to low tide, which makes it impossible for several fishermen to get their boats closer to the wholesale fish market where they are going to unload their fish catch.
As a result, the fishermen and their assisting workers have to walk and wade in the shallow waters for more than 50 meters to carry the fish containers toward the market. And some have to do it a few times to complete the job.

grandeur can sometimes blind us to the point that we fail to see the little things which are just as beautiful. by the same token, sometimes we get too busy attending to "grander" things in life, the ones we consider "matters of consequence" that we forget the simple yet sometimes more important things. have you smelled a flower today? have you looked at the stars? have you smiled at a stranger? have you said "i love you" to the significant people in your life? have you held their hands? have you called or written a friend just to say hello? life is fleeting. and it would be so tragic to realize it's too late to do any of these simple things because we have been too busy with "matters of consequence" .
our inaction that gets confused with the inevitable :-)

While the tumultous consequences of covid19 rages all around us here in London those of us who can do so stay at home and out of harm's way. But I try to get out for a ride on my bicycle most days. The government asks that we restrict our exercise time away from home to one hour and I hold my hand up and say that I'm sometimes out for longer. But I stick to roads and lanes that are very quiet and for the most part devoid of people. I reckon I'm safe and I'm not posing a risk to others so I hope the police won't arrest me.
The best part of that scenario is that I'm learning the geography of my area so much better than I knew it before. And so it was that I found myself in an area I'd not been before and came across this little lane in Nork Park, near Banstead in Surrey, bracketed by these lovely blossoming trees. It is a truly lovely spot. I shot a few images through the blossoms and slightly overexposed them to get the unnaturally bright light coming through.
