Of course his fix is always destructive--Lord knows what he will do to the USA and to the world. We all are in for dangerous times.
Katla is an Icelandic volcano covered by the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in the south of the country. It lies to the east of Eyjafjöll, another volcano considered to be related to Katla. It is one of Iceland's most active and destructive volcanoes, responsible for several jökulhlaups (glacial lake outburst flood).
This baby bunny has been visiting our garden at dinner time for a couple of weeks. Cute and destructive.

The Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history, and the most expensive natural disaster in the world in 2018 in terms of insured losses.
Named after Camp Creek Road, its place of origin, the fire started on Thursday, November 8, 2018, in Northern California's Butte County. Ignited by a faulty electric transmission line, the fire originated above several communities and an east wind drove the fire downhill through developed areas. After exhibiting extreme fire spread, fireline intensity, and spotting behaviors through the rural community of Concow, an urban firestorm formed in the foothill town of Paradise. Drought was a factor: Paradise, which typically sees five inches of autumn rain by November 12, had only received one-seventh of an inch by that date in 2018. With the arrival of the first winter rainstorm of the season, the fire reached 100 percent containment after seventeen days on November 25.
The fire caused at least 85 civilian fatalities, with one person still missing as of August 2, 2019, and injured 12 civilians and five firefighters. It covered an area of 153,336 acres (620.5 km2; 239.6 sq mi), and destroyed more than 18,000 structures, with most of the destruction occurring within the first four hours. The towns of Paradise and Concow were almost completely destroyed, each losing about 95% of their structures. The towns of Magalia and Butte Creek Canyon were also largely destroyed. By January 2019, the total damage was estimated at $16.5 billion; one-quarter of the damage, $4 billion, was not insured. The Camp Fire also cost over $150 million in fire suppression costs, bringing the total cost of the fire to $16.65 billion.
The same month, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), the utility company responsible for the faulty power line, filed for bankruptcy, citing expected wildfire liabilities of $30 billion. On December 6, 2019, the utility made a settlement offer of $13.5 billion for the wildfire victims; the offer covered several devastating fires caused by the utility, including the Camp Fire. On June 16, 2020, the utility pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter.
The Camp Fire is the deadliest wildfire in the United States since the Cloquet fire in 1918, and ranks number 13 on the list of the world's deadliest wildfires; it is the sixth-deadliest U.S. wildfire overall.

Gypsy moth. Our native UK strain went extinct in the early 1900s. A local population of the destructive European species was discovered when they were building Fairford Leys estate around 2003 - eggs were probably imported in on timber. Pheromone traps were used in an unsuccessful attempt to attract and eradicate them.
The caterpillars are incredibly destructive, their hairs can be an irritant...and birds don't like the taste of them. But they look cute!
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.. . . I longed for night and the rebirth in me of the being that merits love.

In March of 1972, the North Vietnamese kicked off its largest and most destructive offensive. Dubbed the “Easter Offensive,” it began with attacks across the DMZ. For the south, men like Le Ba Binh resisted the attacks with élan, valor, and gritty determination.
Binh’s battalion held the ground defending the only major bridge across the Cua Viet River near Dong Ha. The bridge was strategic in that it was the only one that would allow tanks to cross. Binh and his men held their ground in spite of overwhelming odds. His training and leadership is what kept the unit together as his men fought for their lives.

After rain and at the right temperature, they (the alates or winged reproductives) come out, sometimes in huge swarms, in order to find a mate and reproduce. This one however landed on water and missed his/her mate....
(Afrikaans "rysmier"="rice ant" because their eggs look like rice)
Although very destructive, termites are highly interesting social creatures..
It was 7:33 in the morning when I took this photo of this fiery sunrise over Madrid. As I looked at it, enjoying these vibrant colors, I couldn't resist thinking about our world and the wonderful creations made by God.
In these dark and troubling times, when we face the risk of global war, it seems as if the human being has not learned from past destructive conflicts between nations or religions. I can't understand why such selfish and terrible people can exist in this world. We have many natural treasures, we have a wide variety of enriching cultures, different climates, an exceptional nature and animal kingdom to enjoy.
Once again, the ambition and supremacy of some over others, intend to install fear among humans. It is something really inexplicable, even more in the XXI century.
From Madrid I send all my support and solidarity to the Ukrainian people who are forced to leave their homes, to flee their country or suffer constant attacks by the Russian army. Like all the inhabitants in this world, they deserve to live in peace, with their children, with their hobbies, with their work, with their lives...
Hopefully we can see that this new nightmare ends as soon as possible, avoiding human suffering and restoring peace throughout the world.
Best viewed large.
Have a great Thursday, and let us pray for the children and families suffering from these regrettable attacks 🇺🇦💛💙

Ardiente amanecer del jueves, Madrid, España
Eran las 7:33 de la mañana cuando tomé esta foto de este amanecer de fuego sobre Madrid. Mientras lo miraba, disfrutando de sus vibrantes colores, no pude resistirme a pensar en nuestro mundo y en las maravillosas creaciones hechas por Dios.
En estos tiempos oscuros y preocupantes, cuando nos enfrentamos al riesgo de una guerra global, parece como si el ser humano no hubiera aprendido de pasados conflictos destructivos entre naciones o religiones. No puedo entender por qué pueden existir sujetos tan egoístas y terribles en este mundo. Tenemos muchos tesoros naturales, tenemos una gran variedad de culturas enriquecedoras, diferentes climas, una naturaleza y un reino animal excepcionales para disfrutar.
Una vez más, la ambición y la supremacía de unos sobre otros, pretenden instalar el miedo entre los humanos. Es algo realmente inexplicable, más aún en pleno siglo XXI.
Desde Madrid envío todo mi apoyo y comprensión a las personas ucranianas que se ven obligadas a abandonar sus hogares, a huir de su país o sufren los constantes ataques del ejército ruso. Como todos los habitantes de este mundo, merecen vivir en paz, con sus hijos, con sus aficiones, con su trabajo, con sus vidas...
Ojalá podamos ver que esta nueva pesadilla termine lo antes posible, evitando el sufrimiento humano y recuperando la paz en todo el mundo.
Mejor visualizar en grande.
Que tengan un excelente jueves, y recemos por los niños y familias que sufren estos lamentables ataques 🇺🇦💛💙

Price to Play
Song by Staind
Failed to see,
How destructive we can be.
Taking without giving back,
'Til the damage can be seen,
Can you see?
Can you see?
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price to pay to play the game.
Apathy, the chosen way to be,
Blindly look the other way,
While you waste away with me,
Can you see?
Can you see?
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

Destructive therapy... - We came across this old reclining treatment bed on the top floor of a gigantic abandoned hospital complex that dates from 1871. What would have happened on this table.... After some research it appears that different types of inhumane treatments were used in the hope to cure the psychiatric patients. Closed in the early 80's and abandoned ever since. Little by little it gets structural problems...until the day it takes all its history down with it.
Fires can be so destructive and I wish those who are still trying to survive them the ability to and those who have lost loved ones sincere condolences. I cannot imagine all of your pain.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

"The Mount St. Helens major eruption of May 18, 1980 remains the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in U.S. history. Fifty-seven people were killed; 200 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed. A massive debris avalanche, triggered by a magnitude 5.1 earthquake, caused a lateral eruption that reduced the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677 ft (2,950 m) to 8,363 ft (2,549 m), leaving a 1 mile (1.6 km) wide horseshoe-shaped crater. The debris avalanche was 0.6 cubic miles (2.5 km3) in volume. The 1980 eruption disrupted terrestrial ecosystems near the volcano. By contrast, aquatic ecosystems in the area greatly benefited from the amounts of ash, allowing life to multiply rapidly. Six years after the eruption, most lakes in the area had returned to their normal state." - Wikipedia

you can here very beautifully recognize the enormous destructive force at the eruption of the volcano
Dirty, gritty, lifeless, abandoned. Look down Gratiot Street towards the Big Muddy and take note of hords of vacant and worthless real estate, row after row of wobbly brick building stock generously coated with heavily weathered patina from over a century of hard knocks. One could seemingly toss a stone from the factories of Choteau's Landing wedged in the extreme southwestern corner of Downtown St. Louis and strike the modernities of the city center and its most prominant icon the Gateway Arch, yet through superficial appearances these districts have been separated by more than that of physical geography--they have been seperated by a vast and unmistakable chasm of time. Lingering within this worthless plot of urban wasteland, hidden within each and every last crumbling brick and shuttered dock door are stories--stories that tell the tale of one of America's greatest manufacturing powerhouses, the built environment supporting the dreams and fortunes of turn-of-the-20th Century moguls and the dreams and plight of said era's proletariat. On their brick-laced flanks they proclaim, in ghostly white fonts applied dozens of years prior, the entities that once breathed life into these plots--Crunden-Martin Mfg., and Glidden Paints. During heyday, this place oozed with all the sensory details of a major economic driver; factory bells clamoring labor to duty with their insessant ringing, trucks of horse power or later motor power plodding down cobble-paved streets, hissing steam of machines powering the misery and the money. All is much quieter now. Monuments of industrial prowess line these narrow, dingy alleys; silent and unstable--in diminishing quantity in recent times as the historic fabric from what was once a bustling, thriving manufacturing complex has been gouged away through the heat of numerous conflagrations and the destructive pounding of the wrecking ball. The only industry remaining here with any relevancy moves atop rails of steel, wrapping around all corners of these silent fortresses, encircling the premises on all sides on elevated bridges as train movements scamper throughout the city. Peering down the tight confines of Gratiot Street catches a glimpse of an MDUDU transfer job descending off the high line towards Lesperance Street Yard, a former MoPac facility now under the control of Union Pacific.
Looks like a toothbrush, this little guy is quite destructive, capable of destroying entire forests, so I've read.

The victims of the current atrocities are and were human beings in the first place. The assumption underlying the atrocities is that they are not. This assumption, and the atrocious act itself, places the perpetrator firmly in the camp of barbarism. Barbaric deeds undermine the words used for the defense of one's postulated just cause. The result is traumatic for generations to come, victims and perpetrators. Fuji X-Pro3.
Hi friends! Hope you are all continuing to stay safe and well. This lovely little hummingbird just brightened my day, and I hoping it will your's as well... :-)
Due to the Covid crisis and hence, more time at home, I finally have a colorful and cheery backyard! Throughout the years, our incredibly sweet and lovable golden retriever undermined our attempts to have a nice yard with his rambunctious, or as my husband calls them, "intentionally destructive" ways. :-) With Wylie slowing down a bit at 13.5 years old and some creative gardening techniques, we finally achieved our little bit of paradise in our small backyard! Now every morning, I wake up delighted to see what new little visitors are coming by to enjoy our bright and beautiful garden. One of the most frequent guests are hummingbirds. These amazingly beautiful, incredibly feisty and endlessly energetic little birds bring us hours of enjoyment and entertainment!
I would like to thank everyone who stops by to view, fave or comment! I truly appreciate your support and encouragement...
