Tulipa Queen of Night
With 'Queen of Night' a black tulip was grown for the first time. Depending on the light, the calyx shimmers silky from deep dark purple to black. The famous variety is still rightly considered the most beautiful black tulip unmatched.
'Queen of Night' received an Award of Merit from the Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur (KAVB) and an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in 1944. In 2007 the tulip was named Flower Bulb of the Year.
"Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality."

"Depende de Você "
A paz que você reclama e tenta encontrar...
depende de você.
A compreensão que você reivindica a cada passo...
depende de você.
A bondade que você admira nas pessoas...
e sonha possuir...
depende de você.
O diálogo, base de toda convivência...
depende de você.
A abertura que é o caminho para a renovação...
depende de você.
A realização que você julga essencial...
depende de você.
O amor que você quer encontrar no outro...
depende de você.
Pondere:
Queixar-se ou produzir, atrapalhar ou servir,
desprezar ou valorizar, revoltar-se ou colaborar,
adoecer ou curar-se, rebaixar-se ou abrir-se,
estacionar ou progredir é uma questão de escolha.
"Depende de você".
The Monarch is a milkweed butterfly. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (3 1⁄2–4 in).
The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the northern and central United States and southern Canada to Florida and Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return north.
The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in southern California but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites as well.

Los significados de las flores de las magnolias dependen del color de la flor y de la cultura inmediata de la persona que regala y recibe las flores. Normalmente, las magnolias se regalan de hombres a mujeres, como si los hombres dijeran: «Eres digna de una hermosa magnolia». Se asume lo siguiente: La magnolia suele simbolizar el Yin, o el lado femenino de la vida. Las magnolias blancas simbolizan la pureza y la dignidad.
Lots of small reproductive flowers (I think) and some fine showy sterile ones. Hydrangeas come in pink and blue, and in a combination of the two, depending on the circumstances of their growth.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

Barn Owl - Tyto Alba
Like most owls, the barn owl is nocturnal, relying on its acute sense of hearing when hunting in complete darkness. It often becomes active shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day when relocating from one roosting site to another. In Britain, on various Pacific Islands and perhaps elsewhere, it sometimes hunts by day. This practice may depend on whether the owl is mobbed by other birds if it emerges in daylight. However, in Britain, some birds continue to hunt by day even when mobbed by such birds as magpies, rooks and black-headed gulls, such diurnal activity possibly occurring when the previous night has been wet making hunting difficult. By contrast, in southern Europe and the tropics, the birds seem to be almost exclusively nocturnal, with the few birds that hunt by day being severely mobbed.
Barn owls are not particularly territorial but have a home range inside which they forage. For males in Scotland this has a radius of about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the nest site and an average size of about 300 hectares. Female home ranges largely coincide with that of their mates. Outside the breeding season, males and females usually roost separately, each one having about three favoured sites in which to conceal themselves by day, and which are also visited for short periods during the night. Roosting sites include holes in trees, fissures in cliffs, disused buildings, chimneys and haysheds and are often small in comparison to nesting sites. As the breeding season approaches, the birds move back to the vicinity of the chosen nest to roost.
Once a pair-bond has been formed, the male will make short flights at dusk around the nesting and roosting sites and then longer circuits to establish a home range. When he is later joined by the female, there is much chasing, turning and twisting in flight, and frequent screeches, the male's being high-pitched and tremulous and the female's lower and harsher. At later stages of courtship, the male emerges at dusk, climbs high into the sky and then swoops back to the vicinity of the female at speed. He then sets off to forage. The female meanwhile sits in an eminent position and preens, returning to the nest a minute or two before the male arrives with food for her. Such feeding behaviour of the female by the male is common, helps build the pair-bond and increases the female's fitness before egg-laying commences.
Barn owls are cavity nesters. They choose holes in trees, fissures in cliff faces, the large nests of other birds such as the hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) and, particularly in Europe and North America, old buildings such as farm sheds and church towers. Buildings are preferred to trees in wetter climates in the British Isles and provide better protection for fledglings from inclement weather. Trees tend to be in open habitats rather than in the middle of woodland and nest holes tend to be higher in North America than in Europe because of possible predation.
This bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the 1950s and '60s.
Nocturnal birds like the barn owl are poorly monitored by the Breeding Bird Survey and, subject to this caveat, numbers may have increased between 1995-2008.
Barn owls are a Schedule 1 and 9 species.

DSC04946. Castillo Templario de Ponferrada. Declarado Monumento Nacional de Interés Histórico y Artístico in 1924, el castillo es el resultado de una larga serie de ampliaciones, reformas y adiciones que van desde el primero llevado a cabo cerca de la planta cuadrada a principios del siglo 12, hasta las últimas zonas construidas a finales de los siglos 15 y principios de los 16. Tan pronto como Ponferrada pasó a depender de la Orden del Temple en 1178, por el regalo de los Reyes de León, los caballeros templarios encontraron una pequeña fortaleza que en un principio actuó como un asentamiento celta. Los caballeros reforzaron y reconstruyeron el recinto amurallado con el fin de proteger y guardar el camino de los peregrinos de Santiago y defender la entrada a la zona noroeste de la península. El castillo alberga ahora la exposición permanente "Templum Libri" en libros y facsímiles. Esta es una de las mejores colecciones del mundo de su tipo.
Declared a National Monument of Historic and Artistic Interest in1924, the Castle is the result of a long series of enlargements, refurbishments and additions ranging from the first one carried out near the square ground plan in the early 12th century, up to the last areas built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. As soon as Ponferrada became dependent on the Order of the Temple in 1178, by gift of the Kings of León, the Templar knights found a small fortress that originally acted as a Celtic settlement. The knights reinforced and rebuilt the walled enclosure in order to protect and guard the Way of St. Jame’s pilgrims ad defend the entrance to the Northwest area of the peninsula. The rehabilitates palace suites host now the permanent exhibition “Templum Libri” on books and facsimiles, graphic cart and authors collections. This is one of the world’s best collections of its kind.
Despite its name, I only ever find it on the lavender, not the nearby rosemary. About the same size as a ladybird/ladybug/lady beetle, the Rosemary Beetle has the most beautiful reflective surface - green, magenta and orange depending on the angle of view.
They are only ever present in small numbers and don't cause any noticeable damage to the plants.
Leur couleur dépend du nombre de bulles d'air emprisonnées dans la glace. En effet, dès qu'un rayon de soleil entre dans une des bulles, une partie de la lumière est réfléchie. ... Une partie seulement de la lumière est alors réfléchie, en particulier les longueurs d'ondes bleues.
Parce qu’ils sont faits de glace pure, avec peu de bulles d’air ,la lumière blanche qui pénètre l’iceberg subit une absorption sélective selon les longueurs d’ondes qui la constituent. Les grandes longueurs d’ondes, comme le jaune et le rouge, sont absorbées en premier, les courtes comme le bleu subsistent plus longtemps. A 30 m de fond, dans la glace, seul le bleu n’est pas totalement absorbé. De plus, en rebondissant sur les molécules de glace, les ondes subissent un important phénomène de diffusion. Les fréquences du bleu semblent alors amplifiées. La fraction de lumière qui ressort, privée de ses radiations rouges, donne sa couleur bleue à l’iceberg. Les icebergs blancs, eux, sont formés par accumulation de neige. Leur glace contient beaucoup de bulles d’air. La lumière pénètre peu, car elle se réfléchit à leur surface. Après une infinité de réflexions, la lumière ressort sans avoir subi d’absorption. Conséquence : elle est toujours blanche.

or
14 f - feels like -6 with the windchill
Take your pick !!

Is this Bottle really Blue ?
Depends on the Light that’s shining through
But mind you, it is made of Glass
Which could easily break, alas !
So come what may
It must survive this very Day
Please remember - it was only made

Male Eurasian Green-winged Teal
Depending on who you talk to or what website you go on, the American and Eurasian are or are not the same species. The American has a vertical white stripe on the front side chest and the Eurasian has the horizontal white stripe on the top below the wing. To me it is a bird I have never seen or photographed. We saw two different birds at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.
In the United States of America, we've created a situation already where too many people have had to work for a corporation in order to have health care. Even something simple as a broken bone can cost someone thousands of dollars out of pocket in this country. I've personally known colleagues who have literally worked until they dropped dead because, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to afford chemotherapy.
So, when corporations recently stepped up and said they would help pay for their employees to travel out of state for an abortion, the first impulse was to be "grateful that corporations were taking a stand," But, as in the corporations sponsoring the Pride parade, many of these corporations have supported anti-choice legislators. All this leads me to a few points....
1. Corporations won't save us. In most places in the world, profit is valued over people and even in countries outside the US where they have health care for all people, corporations have a very strong pull with the government and policy.
2. We should follow the money in terms of what corporations actually truly support and hold them accountable.
3. When you have to depend on a corporation for body autonomy, this is a very bad situation.
4. There will always be individuals in our country who are artists and do not work for a corporation. These are humans who should be celebrated not punished. If we want creative ideas and individual thought, we need to realize that body autonomy and health care should be provided to all citizens.

Depending on season and weather, it's always a completely different view. The sun was hidden here behind a cover of clouds for a long time until it was visible just before sunset.

Dans la phase de loin la plus spectaculaire de l'aménagement de la Durance, l'œuvre-clé est le barrage de Serre-Ponçon, duquel dépend toute l'alimentation d'aval, tant pour les usages agricoles que pour les besoins urbains, énergétiques et industriels. En aval du barrage, la Durance elle-même n'a plus qu'un débit réduit à moins de 25 m3/s ; on peut d'ailleurs observer la différence sur la photo. Tout le reste passe par des canaux, soit pour les centrales électriques, soit pour l'alimentation du canal de Provence.
D'après :http://tresordesregions.mgm.fr/Mdir.php?p=cant.php&cl=Durance®ion=93
Entre le canal rectiligne et la Durance qui serpente entre ses rives boisées, on distingue à gauche de la photo le village de Monétier-Allemont. Le creux entre les montagnes à l'horizon est la cluse de Sisteron où se glisse la Durance après avoir avalé le Buech. La ligne de crête, sur l'horizon à droite est la montagne de Lure. À gauche de la photo se profile également le sommet pyramidal de la montagne de Hongrie.

The hunting technique varies depending on the spider and its prey. Sometimes the spider waits in the center of the web, sometimes it sits at the edge of its burrow, with one or two legs attached to the silken thread. Once prey gets caught in the web and causes sufficient vibrations, the spider rushes towards it. Sometimes the spider goes straight for it, or shakes the web back and forth several times, often further entangling the prey, allowing it to be precisely located and identified. If prey doesn't move, the spider may lose interest; dead prey is generally ignored by spiders.
Small prey is immediately seized and often devoured straight away.
Slightly larger prey is grabbed and quickly spun; by rolling the prey in the web, a package is created that hangs from both ends of the web.
Even larger or more dangerous-looking prey is approached cautiously; the spider will first attempt to cover the prey with sticky threads from a distance using its hind legs. If the prey appears too dangerous, the spider will "free" it by biting through the threads.
The prey is eaten either on the spot, in the center of the web, or in the burrow, leaving a hole in the web. Orb-weavers "chew" their food, unlike most other spiders that suck their prey dry.
Some orb-weaver spiders that can be found in the Netherlands and Belgium: cross spider , wasp spider (or tiger spider), and the four-spot orb-weaver spider .
Nycticorax is a genus of night herons. The name Nycticorax means "night raven" and derives from the Ancient Greek νύκτος, nuktos "night" and κοραξ, korax, "raven". It refers to the largely nocturnal feeding habits of this group of birds, and the croaking crow-like call of the best known species, the black-crowned night heron.
These are medium-sized herons which often are migratory in the colder parts of their ranges.
Adults are short-necked, relatively short-legged and stout herons; the two extant species both have a black crown and a whitish belly, while the wings, chest, neck and auriculars are grey or rufous depending on the species. Young birds are brown, flecked with white and grey, and are quite similar to each other in the extant species. At least some of the extinct Mascarenes taxa appear to have retained this juvenile plumage in adult birds.
Night herons nest in colonies on platforms of sticks in a group of trees, or on the ground in protected locations such as islands or reed beds. Three to eight eggs are laid.
They stand at the water's edge, and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, and small mammals. During the day they rest in trees or bushes.

When I walked the dog today, the wheelbarrow was gone. There's "no ideas but in things", but things just disappear. Meanwhile I know what the quote means to me and maybe what it means to others, but still I don't know how to translate it into German. Luckily I don't need to.
The point in translation and as well in photography is to make others believe you solved an equation, like a=b-x, but neither translation nor photography is like mathematics.
Still I try hard every day.
