We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
Cencellada : Es un hidrometeoro consistente en la formación de cristales, plumas y agujas de hielo suave de color blanco sobre una superficie sólida por la congelación de las gotículas subfundidas de un banco de niebla. Sus propiedades físicas son muy similares a las de la nieve húmeda.
Producto de un intercambio con un coleccionista, esta hoya llegó a casa procedente de Suecia en el 2009 y prosperó rápidamente en su follaje pero nunca lograba completar el ciclo, ya que los pedúnculos hacían su pequeño ramillete y no podían alcanzar su apertura…Un aborto frustrante, en las tres ocasiones que logró formar pedúnculo …
Es nativa de Tailandia, y mi hijo en sus ensayos de” lugar adecuado” , descubrió que es una planta amante de la sombra …Perseverando año tras año con esquejes nuevos, en diferentes lugares, que se desarrollaban correctamente pero sin lograr florecer ...El año pasado llevó de casa un esqueje enraizado , colocó la planta debajo de la sombra de un cedrón y el milagro se produjo!!
La apertura fue lentísima y la ansiedad nos carcomía. Aún cerrada había tomado las texturas del interior y su consistencia nacarada nos atraía como el cascarón de una ostra cerrada.
Por suerte vimos sus nueve maravillosas flores “de nácar”rosado, con este centro en forma de perfectísima florcita de”puro rubí”!!
Hay variantes de color de la flor y puede ser de flor naranja, rosa y crema.
Verdaderamente una gran alegría para los ojos!! Mi hijo me envió su fantástica fotografía…aunque la he visto personalmente claro! No me la perdería por nada del mundo. ¡Jajaja!
Feliz fin de semana para todos!

Sunsets in Maui are consistently spectacular because of the unobstructed ocean views to the west. The sunlight always has a way of sneaking up under the clouds to splash bright crimson and gold colors across the sky.

Western Green Lizard (Lacerta Bilineata) | Adult Male | 05-2021 | Ticino | Switzerland
More TICINO/TESSIN Wildlife Photos (all taken in my garden in Monteggio/Ti, Switzerland): it.lacerta-bilineata.com/ramarro-occidentale-lacerta-bili... (the website exists in ESPAÑOL, FRANÇAIS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, DEUTSCH)
My latest ANIMAL VIDEO (warning, it's a bit shocking): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2-Xszz7FI
ABOUT THE PHOTO:
The original title for this photo was 'The Dark Knight". In case you wonder why I chose that title, I assure you it has nothing to do with the lizard in the photo possibly having an alter ego who secretly fights crime and supervillains in the reptilian underworld (although I wouldn't rule that out completely: the reptilian underworld is full of surprises, even if our tiny village is a far cry from Gotham City 😜). No, as you might have guessed, the title refers to the rather particular colors of the individual in the photo.
The dark, shiny scale pattern of this adult male is very unusual, and I've personally never seen anything quite like it during my many years of herping in the Ticino. I photographed the fella at the end of last May, which is in the midst of mating season for the species and a period when adult males in our region generally are of a striking emerald green with a turquoise head and look nothing like the one in this photo.
And let me tell you: this fella knew he was something special, and he REALLY didn't want to be photographed (which could of course just have been him trying to protect his secret "super-lizard" identity, but the reptile community so far remains mum on that matter). What I can say for sure though is that this was by far the shiest, most prudent adult male western green lizard I've ever come across.
During my nearly three week stay at my vacation home in the Ticino last year I only ever caught glimpses of him, usually from afar, and he always saw me first. The fly honeysuckle shrub across the street from my garden is where he spent most of his time, and from the pergola in my garden I had a good view of that shrub. So whenever I detected movement between the leaves I would grab my camera, leave my garden through the back and - applying the "sneaky stealth approach" I've perfected over the years and am very proud of - try to get a photo of whatever caused those fly honeysuckle leaves to move.
As I already told you (namely here: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/51405389883/in/datepo... ), I initially had a very hard time last year to get my green reptilian friends to pose for me, but I eventually did succeed. This guy though had me nearly lose my mind. My pergola is approximately seven meters away from the fly honeysuckle shrub in question, and although that was too much of a distance for a usable photo, many times I was able to see very clear glimpses of the fella through the lense of my camera when I used the full range of the zoom.
And the really funny thing was: he always looked directly at me. Even though I was miles away (well, from a lizard's perspective) and completely harmless to him from that distance, he never let me out of his sight. I often used the zoom of the camera to check for lizard activity from afar, and none of the other individuals ever showed this behavior. As long as I stayed in the garden, they completely ignored my presence.
But this guy clearly had my number; he seemed to actually recognize me and know that I was the irritating human who kept showing up next tho the honeysuckle bush. The reason I'm convinced he was able to distinguish between me and other persons was that there would be other people in the garden next to mine who were sometimes even closer to the shrub than I was, but his eyes always remained fixated only on me. And by the time I got to the lizard residence, he would inevitably be gone.
Which, of course, made me want to photograph him even more. The elusive lizard man became a bit of an obsession of mine (well, actually more than just a bit to be perfectly honest 😉 ); in my mind I started referring to him as "the phantom", because he kept evading my camera. The most maddening thing was that I saw him nearly every day - but he stubbornly and consistently refused to have his picture taken.
It was sheer luck and literally on the last day of my vacation that I spontaneously approached the shrub without even trying to sneak up and more in the hope of finding some interesting insects, that I caught the object of my desire completely by surprise. He seemed so shocked at my sudden appearance that he remained absolutely still (my guess is that he hoped I hadn't seen him), and so I was finally able to capture this secretive and mysterious (super?) lizard and put my obsession to rest. 😊
So I hope you enjoy this (hard earned!) photo; as always: many greetings from Switzerland and have a lovely weekend everyone - and don't hesitate to let me know what you think!
I understood then, with absolute certainty, that the
ability of the horse to sense emotion, energy and spirit is
beyond what most of the human world realises. This is why
their impact on us can be so instant, so consistently
positive, so transformational.

“Located on Arrowsic Island in Maine, Squirrel Point Light is one of four navigational aids dating back to 1895 along the Kennebec River's 11 mile stretch between the Atlantic Ocean and Bath, Maine. The U.S. Coast Guard, which owns the property, has granted the Citizens for Squirrel Point an "indefinite license to provide access to the site for the benefit of the public and maritime industry (and) all purposes consistent with the repair, maintenance and historic restoration of the facility." This was another of the lighthouses that we saw on a cruise on the Kennebec River.
Small and rotund with intricate brown, black, and white patterning. Some striking variation in plumage across range. Most males, including those in the eastern U.S., have bold black and white head pattern and heavy white spotting on belly. In Mexico, males can be entirely cinnamon-colored below and have a fully black head; some might have a white eyebrow or a dark chest band. Females are more consistent throughout range: look for buffy throat and eyebrow. Pairs or small groups are found in scrubby fields and brushy woods. Usually on the ground, but occasionally perches in trees when singing. The only quail native to the eastern U.S., where populations are declining sharply. Listen for distinctive “bob-WHITE!” whistle. (eBird)
-----------------
They really do call "Bob-white" in the most amazingly loud voice. We heard this one long before we saw him. His mate showed up briefly, but stayed hidden deep in the undergrowth.
Aylmer Wildlife Management Area, Ontario, Canada. June 2017.
I don't remember summer's getting this consistently hot.......104 in Spokane today and thru this weekend. We hit 109 last summer. Summer's aren't what they used to be.
I wanted a cool memory so thought I'd post a favorite chilly experience I shared with dear friend Sergio. Capturing the sunset over iconic Peyto Lake was the objective. We slogged above the common viewing platform, which was vacant for some reason....We were here for a couple hours waiting for the color to pop, but it didn't much. Regardless we had a fabulous time bracing against the blasts of winds and snow. Tripods were mostly useless against the whirling winds. We were bundled up well so wasn't that bad. The beauty was entrancing. Returning to our car was a much quicker trip....wheeee. I feel relief just remembering this grand time.
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend. Keep safe and cool.
Forbidden City by Indo Chine
Consistently rated among the preeminent establishments at Singapore’s mega-popular Clarke Quay nightlife precinct, The Forbidden City has for years been attracting crowds of discerning diners and party goers with its multi-faceted offerings. Occupying the majestic Singapore waterfront building- The River House- which has been listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO- the building was originally a 19th Century river front godown, later converted into the palatial residence of a wealthy trader. Operated by Singapore’s renowned IndoChine Group, the building has, while maintaining its historic structure and facade, been extensively re-modelled internally into a collection of stylish restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

One of several photos that I took while visiting this quaint and very picturesque old lobster fishing village of Stonington Maine. The town, filled with beautiful and boundless photographic opportunities of old buildings, lobster and fishing boats, viewed in a beautiful harbor setting often lined with wild rosa rugosa rose bushes.
Stonington is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States. It's located on the southern portion of the island of Deer Isle. The population was 1,056 at the 2020 census. It includes the villages of Burnt Cove, Oceanville, Green Head, and Clam City. A picturesque working waterfront and tranquil tourist destination in eastern Penobscot Bay, Stonington has consistently ranked among the top lobster ports in the county and is the largest lobster port in Maine. In 2011, 14,854,989 pounds of lobster were landed by Stonington fishermen with a value of $46.3 million.
Sailors on the island became renowned for their maritime skills. Full crews for two America's Cup teams were recruited from Deer Isle for the victorious America's Cup Races of 1895 on The Defender and again in 1899 on Columbia. The Stonington harbor has long been filled with Friendship Sloops among other boat designs, powered by sail only. Lobstermen once used them to haul traps. Most of their trips were to the outer islands (like York Island) near Isle au Haut, fishing during the week and returning to the harbor on weekends. This changed with the advent of gasoline or diesel engines, along with new hull designs, which enabled fishermen to make day trips to fishing grounds in Penobscot Bay.
Les cascades du Sautadet sont une série de chutes d'eau et de rapides d'un niveau progressif de 15 mètres situés sur le cours de la Cèze, à hauteur de la commune de la Roque-sur-Cèze, dans le département du Gard
Les cascades du Sautadet se sont formées.... par l'action érosive de la rivière sur une masse rocheuse calcaire d'environ 500 mètres de large, soulevée lors du plissement alpin. Elles consistent en de très nombreuses cavités se recoupant la plupart du temps en nids de poule, corbeilles, gours, voire en grands « chaudrons ». La profondeur de ces derniers peut dépasser les 10 mètres. Ils retiennent une eau chatoyante sous les rayons du soleil au zénith à cet endroit et les ombres qu'il projette.
Les cascades ont pour surnom « le saut du diable » et un dicton dit : « Quau vai a La Ròca, se i cròca »1 (qui va à La Roque s'y accroche). Par une mauvaise traduction de l'occitan au français, on rend 'à La Roque, le diable s'y croque', au motif des nombreuses morts par imprudence qui ont lieu depuis des années. Le mot « Sautadet » provient de l'occitan sautadet (petit saut d'eau, c'est-à-dire cascade). Une explication populaire récente prétend qu'il viendrait du nom Hadès, dieu grec de la mort et du monde invisible. Le « saut de l'Hadès » ferait ainsi référence aux grottes souterraines invisibles en surface, où le courant peut atteindre 1 000 m3 à la seconde en période de crue et donc provoquer des accidents mortels. Cette forte turbulence des eaux associée à un relief accidenté, sur lequel les crues déposent du limon glissant, font des cascades du Sautadet un site réputé dangereux.
Construit en 1881 juste en amont des cascades, le seuil permettait le fonctionnement d'un moulin à foulon et blatier sur la rive gauche, exploité jusqu'en 1900. La crue de septembre 2002 en a emporté une grande partie mais il est encore visible sur la rive gauche. Creusé dans la roche, son canal de déviation appelé « Béal » est également visible. Les crues de 2002 y ont mis au jour, dans le lit de la Cèze, les fondations en pierre de la machinerie qui permettait à l'eau de pénétrer dans le moulin.
Les cascades du Sautadet sont classées « zone naturelle », dont la rive gauche est publique et la rive droite privée.
La baignade est interdite pourant chaque année des milliers de touristes viennent se rafraichir et profiter des chutes d'eau.
On dénombre d'ailleurs de nombreux morts, une trentaine, et blessés grave.
There's consistently a bunch of these just beyond the entry stile, on the trail to the beach. this year they are HUGE!

Con tua moglie che lavava i piatti in cucina e non capiva
Con tua figlia che provava il suo vestito nuovo e sorrideva
Con la radio che ronzava
Per il mondo cose strane
E il respiro del tuo cane che dormiva.
Coi tuoi santi sempre pronti a benedire i tuoi sforzi per il pane
Con il tuo bambino biondo a cui hai donato una pistola per Natale
Che sembra vera,
Con il letto in cui tua moglie
Non ti ha mai saputo dare
E gli occhiali che tra un po' dovrai cambiare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Con le tue finestre aperte sulla strada e gli occhi chiusi sulla gente
Con la tua tranquillità, lucidità, soddisfazione permanente
La tua coda di ricambio
Le tue nuvole in affitto
Le tue rondini di guardia sopra il tetto.
Con il tuo francescanesimo a puntate e la tua dolce consistenza
Col tuo ossigeno purgato e le tue onde regolate in una stanza
Col permesso di trasmettere
E il divieto di parlare
E ogni giorno un altro giorno da contare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Con i tuoi entusiasmi lenti precisati da ricordi stagionali
E una bella addormentata che si sveglia a tutto quel che le regali
Con il tuo collezionismo
Di parole complicate
A tua ultima canzone per l'estate.
Con le tue mani di carta per avvolgere altre mani normali
Con l'idiota in giardino ad isolare le tue rose migliori
Col tuo freddo di montagna
E il divieto di sudare
E più niente per poterti vergognare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
Com'è che non riesci più a volare
(Francesco De Gregori / Fabrizio De Andre)
Como la mar, los besos.
No importan los emblemas
ni las vanas palabras que son un soplo sólo.
Importa el eco de lo que oí y escucho.
Tu voz, que muerta vive, como yo que al pasar
aquí aún te hablo.
Eras más consistente,
más duradera, no porque te besase,
ni porque en ti asiera firme a la existencia.
Sino porque como la mar
después que arena invade temerosa se ahonda.
En verdes o en espumas la mar, se aleja.
Como ella fue y volvió tú nunca vuelves.
Quizá porque, rodada
sobre playa sin fin, no pude hallarte.
La huella de tu espuma,
cuando el agua se va, queda en los bordes.
Sólo bordes encuentro. Sólo el filo de voz que
en mí quedara.
Como un alga tus besos.
Mágicos en la luz, pues muertos tornan.
(Vicente Aleixandre)

Several Canvasbacks have taken up winter residence at one of our regional parks. An uncommon bird, they have been briefly seen the last couple of years. However, this winter they are consistent, males and females. This particular stretch by a male I thought was extraordinary.
A church building like this is clearly in the Gothic Revival style consistent with when it was built: 1871. It was designed by colonial architect Henry Hunter (1832-1892). The first Church of England was established at Waterloo Point in 1845, but by 1868 it was in real need of replacement having been built with second-rate materials.
This site at the top of Noyes Street (the highest point in town) was chosen. It is directly opposite Meredith House (1853). The Rev. Joseph Mayson (1808-1881) had established the parish way back in 1839, and he was there to move the community into this new church, finally retiring with ill-health in 1877. monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/people/religion/display/1...
As you can see, Henry Hunter's original slate roof has now been replaced by a much cheaper and longer lasting material: Colorbond. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hunter_(architect)
Europe, Portugal, Região Norte, Porto, Ribeira, Dom Luis 1 bridge, Metro de Porto cars, Peope
A view towards the Dom Luis 1 bridge is one of the Porto icons, pobably thé icon. “It was at the time of its construction, the longest arch span in the World, at 172 m and remains the longest-spanning iron arch to this day. It represents the swan song of wrought iron bridges, as at the start of the 20th century stronger steel of more consistent quality would almost entirely replace the use of wrought iron in bridge construction.” (from: A critical analysis of the design and construction of the D Luis 1 bridge, Porto – J J Wells, (2011, University of Bath).
On the bridge two coupled trainsets (Flexity Outlook) of the Metro de Porto (total length 75 km, 6 lines, the capacity of the system: 9000 passengers/line/hour).

Early last December, I was consistently seeing a pair of Eurasian collared doves in Lake Meyer Park. After a very severe Christmas cold snap, one collared dove disappeared and probably perished due to the cold. Today I was delighted to see two collared doves here in the park again, so our lonely winter resident now has a new roommate!
Interesting juxtaposition of a cattle farm against a Wind Farm. I captured this image while visiting the southernmost point in the Big Island of Hawaii and, for that matter, in the United States.
The Tawhiri Power LLC is an independent power producer that supplies electricity for the State of Hawaii. The Pakini Nui Wind Farm is Tawhiri's principle project and is located near South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii. Since 2007, the wind farm has supplied approximately 18,000 Hawaiian homes per year with a green and renewable source of electrical power.
About the Wind Farm:
The south point area of Hawaii is one of the best places in the world for a wind farm because of its exceptionally strong and consistent trade winds. As as result, Tawhiri Power LLC selected this location for the Pakini Nui Wind Farm.
Construction of the wind farm began in August of 2006 and was completed in early 2007. On April third, 2007 the wind farm began commercial operation. There are a total of fourteen General Electric 1.5 Mega-Watt SE turbines at Pakini Nui. These turbines can provide nearly 21 Mega-Watts of electricity for the Big Island of Hawaii.
The Pakini Nui Wind Farm is located 7 miles down South Point Road from its junction with Route 11.
Perhaps the most consistently attractive habitat in North America to wintering snowy owls in modern times may be airports, which not only tend to have the flat, grassy characteristics of their preferred habitats but also by winter host a particular diversity of prey, both pests which rely on humans as well as wildlife attracted to the extensively grassy and marshy strips that dot the large airport vicinities.
Simply stunning! Spectacular flowers are more consistently double than Razzmatazz and are held on shorter, stronger stems that are better able to support the heavy flower heads,

… this blue-green algae proliferation – the result of consistently high temperatures – makes for interesting photography, but is actually rather toxic: it deprives water of oxygen, causing suffocation in the underlying fauna and flora. Drinking this swamp-like water is definitely not recommended :-)
Upon further research, it appears this proliferation is not blue-green algae but simple duckweed. Although it does deprive the water ecosystem from oxygen when proliferating like this, it is not toxic in itself. As a matter of fact, its protein content is astonishing, way above soja. It’s even about to become a trendy superfood, although harvesting it from the canal is not recommended for obvious reasons :-)

...that's how some residents of Mackinaw City expressed disdain about this restaurant at the end of the "Strip", just off of the expressway.
Now, I like a hot dog from time to time (with mustard and onions, and maybe some chili), but I tend to agree with the disapproving residents. Mackinaw City boasts a historic importance of the area's forts, battles, Native American culture, logging, and shipping. Log cabins, lighthouses, historic buildings, cottages, and family-owned businesses passed down through the generations are the types of places that are consistent with the area.
More will be said about the owner of this business in a later post.
The demise of the multiple carnival-type piers at Old Orchard has taken place over 120 years. All renditions started out grand and were humbled by Mother Nature. The first was built of steel by Berlin Iron Bridge Co in 1898 and considered a “global cultural icon.” At 1,825 ft (556m), it was the longest in the world.
“The Pier Casino” sat on its ocean end, an elaborate ballroom that held 5000 people. (I have verified that with several sources, but wonder. Since I wasn't around in 1898, I'll go with it, even though 500 seems much more likely.)
In 1908 after multiple storms, the pier was shortened to 700 ft (210m) and the casino was scaled down. Its heyday was between World Wars I and II when big names like Guy Lombardo, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Xavier Cugat, and Frank Sinatra were regular acts.
After consistent storm damage, the casino was demolished in 1970. A blizzard in '78 destroyed the entire pier. Today it is the 500 ft (150 m) 1980s tacky structure you see here with a wooden walkway, souvenir shops, junk food, and a beach bar at the end. 😊

Today we was in the vet.
Altought Rubio had less sneezes and snots today, the diagnosis was bad. The radiographs shows some spots in one lung consistent with pneumonia or cancer.
Tomorrow we have to go for doing more test, and surely a fine needle biopsy.
Hard to say but I cross my fingers wishing Rubito only had a pneumonia.
Hoy fuimos al veterinario.
Aunque hoy Rubio estornudaba menos y tenía menos mocos, el diagnóstico no ha sido bueno. Las radiografías muestran unas manchas en un pulmón compatibles con una pneumonía o un cáncer.
Mañana tenemos que volver para hacer más pruebas, seguramente una punción con aguja fina para tomar una biopsia.
Parece mentira que tenga que decir esto pero estoy deseando que Rubito solo tenga una pneumonía.

Time is the continued sequence of existence
and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.
Time has long been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars. Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems.
Time in physics is operationally defined as "what a clock reads".
These Beauties have given consistent colour to my Allotment all summer and are still going strong and looking very healthy, from now on they will be a regular in my garden
One advantage of our consistently cool/cold spring (note the flat grey sky!) is the longevity of the daffodils and other spring flowers. The steep hill of Clayport Bank up and out of Alnwick town centre towards Rothbury has numerous large groups of them. Our home is on the other side of the stone wall towards the top of the image approx. level with the bus-stop.
