The lady on the right was enjoying an ice cream and visiting with her friend the "Ice Cream Lady" and as I was about to take her picture her expression turned into a frown. Bolivian women do not want their picture taken and although I was trying to be discrete she spotted me.

In Papua New Guinea, there are more than more than 850 discrete spoken languages, and until recently, none of them were written down. Even today, adult literacy sits at less than 62%. In a historically nonliterate society with more than 7000 diverse cultural groups, one of the most popular means of education has been through costume, song, and dance.
This is one reason sing sings so important.

I'm sorry I cheated. ): I'm currently really busy and pretty much stressed out about tomorrow -- it's the dreaded parents & teachers meeting, and the teachs are gonna show our parents the grades and all that. Kinda scary. I think I've done bad this semester. I mean... I really screwed it up, especially maths and economy. I am just terrible with numbers and I'm not sure how to explain this to my parents!
Anyhow, today was a totally exhausting day. Ulya and I were basically skipping this school program study just to finish one of our assignments -- that was supposed to be done with our group for tomorrow. We went out to some printing place and we had to go through the blazing sun, ugh. Some of our groupmates did basically nothing. What a piss off.
Bellingham downtown parkade signage that is no more. Rehabbing it has cleared that paint off the surface and replace it with more discrete signage.
Stringed lanterns suggest a discrete character for the group, while the more massive background of buildings are continuous. Characteristics that enable us to distinguish microscopic from macroscopic objects. Here, a manifestation of simultaneously seeing both in a single image instead of being mutually exclusive. Promoting “full vision”.
Ainda decidindo sobre qual assinatura usar... Acho que essa tá melhor né? Mais discreta...rouba menos a atenção da foto. Mas aceito sugestões :)
I am still deciding about which logo I should use. I think this one is better, isn´t it? It is more discrete! Sugestions are wellcome! :)
See how this IJssel river landscape is gently blending with the evening shadow. One by one the bushes and trees are melting away into the sleeping meadows, as guests discretely leaving the scene at the end of the party. Only the clouds on the higher stage next room are still dancing their last tango, bending backwards while lights are getting dimmer and the music fades away. Then, the party is over and there is nothing left to see.

Large Skipper / ochlodes sylvanus. Stanton Canal, Derbyshire. 27/06/16.
The local population of Large Skippers are out in force just now along my local canal. They can reliably be found in number nectaring on bramble flowers.
This territorial male was taking some time out, perched prominently on bankside vegetation. His rest didn't last long though and he was soon zipping off after an intruder.
American Oystercatcher
The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

Shot with LV and the flip screen tilted to be as discrete as possible. Not that I think he would have cared if I'd been more overt!

Par leurs saveurs, elles nous transportent à travers de lointaines contrées, réveillent nos souvenirs ou en créent de nouveaux, savent se faire discrètes ou intenses, nous rassurent ou nous tonifient, les épices composent la magie de la cuisine.

The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses) is located in Maranhão state, in northeastern Brazil, just east of the Baía de São José. It is an area of low, flat, occasionally flooded land, overlaid with large, discrete sand dunes. It encompasses roughly 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi), and despite abundant rain, supports almost no vegetation. The area became a National Park on June 2, 1981.

The last story I told was of the harrowing trip through no mans land on the day of Holi. I ended the tale with my arrival in Khajuraho.
It was a pleasant city to visit. The traffic wasn’t too crazy. The streets were lined with a great deal of tourist trinkets for sale, but the vendors discretely hawked their wares.
I noticed a sign for a folk dancing show and the owner of the tour company was happy to get tickets for me. The show was colorful, charming and professional. The costumes were in brilliant colors of gold, green and red. A stage curtain showed scenes from the Indian desert. Camels and sand dunes were the theme. Such a different side of India than the one I was seeing. Visual scenes like this entice me to consider new trips and this one did. I’ll show you that area of India soon.
The next day I headed over to see the famous erotic temples of Khajuraho. I had no idea what to expect. I stood for several minutes waiting for my ticket to be processed and the tour owner to fetch a guide. I peered through the gate and the area seemed peaceful enough. And then we entered.
There were no tour buses. The grounds consisted of well-manicured gardens and lovely pathways. It was a very refined and elegant World Heritage site. In the early morning hours, the air was relatively cool. Only a few Indian visitors could be seen strolling through the winding pathways. I was thrilled.
I followed my guide to the first temple he wanted to show me. He was an older man, whose face told a story of struggles. It was obvious he had rehearsed the dialog he was sharing with me. I admire local guides who have studied such long hours in order to tell the historical stories of a famous place in a second language. His voice was low and soothing at the first temple.
Then we went to the next temple. It was the beginning of the erotic reliefs. His voice was changing slightly and he seemed to be more agitated. Then he began pointing out the figures. He pointed to a woman and told he in a voice, now elevated and very emotional, that this was a woman because you could see her breasts.
Oh my, I thought! My peaceful morning has just taken a strange twist. I wanted to enjoy this peaceful park. I want to take pictures, I want to stroll, reflect and ponder. If he was already, in a state of heightened awareness what will happen when we reach the figures engaged in sexual acts.
I decided to do something I’ve never done before. I calmly said to him in a very courteous manner that I would like to enjoy the park alone, in order to take pictures. He didn’t seem too disappointed and then I added that I would like to compensate him for his time. We agreed that he would wait for me as I exited.
And so it was, that I calmly explored the park at my leisure, sans the drama. He was waiting for me at the entrance. I gave him a generous tip for his effort and for accommodating me. We smiled and parted ways.

Intermittent low level volcanic tremor and discrete earthquakes continue at rates similar to the past several hours.
Redoubt has not erupted, but has returned to the level of unrest observed during parts of late January and February.

FIORE DI VERBENA CON CAVOLAIA
Lepidottero appartenente alla Famiglia dei Pieridae abbastanza comune e ben diffuso in tutta la penisola anche se negli ultimi anni ha subito una discreta flessione. L’adulto, di discrete dimensioni, possiede un’apertura alare di 55-68 mm. La parte superiore delle ali anteriori è bianca con gli apici neri; le femmine presentano due macchie nere submediane e una striscia nera vicino al margine inferiore. Le ali posteriori sono di color giallo chiaro con una macchia vicino al margine anteriore.
È l’unica specie di farfalla diurna che può diventare un serio problema per le coltivazioni; il bruco è, infatti, famoso per essere un grande divoratore di cavoli e, in generale, delle specie coltivate appartenenti alla famiglie delle Brassicacee e delle Capparaceae.

VERBENA FLOWER WITH CABBAGE
Lepidoptera belonging to the Pieridae family, quite common and widespread throughout the peninsula, even if it has undergone a moderate decline in recent years. The adult, of fair size, has a wingspan of 55-68 mm. The upper part of the fore wings is white with black tips; females have two submedian black spots and a black stripe near the lower margin. The hind wings are light yellow with a spot near the anterior margin.
It is the only species of diurnal butterfly that can become a serious problem for crops; the caterpillar is, in fact, famous for being a great devourer of cabbages and, in general, of cultivated species belonging to the Brassicaceae and Capparaceae families.

Fuligule milouinan -
Quelques critères évidents permettent une facile reconnaissance : à tout âge, il a une silhouette massive, un bec large et un crâne arrondi. Le mâle fuligule milouinan possède une tête, une poitrine et un arrière du corps noirs contrastant particulièrement avec le dessus gris, le ventre et les flancs blancs. La femelle est brun terne avec un large anneau blanc à la base du bec. Quelques discrètes taches blanches sont présentes à proximité du bec. Les juvéniles se caractérisent par une absence de blanc à la tête, ce qui entraîne parfois la confusion avec le Fuligule morillon.
*** Fulcrum -
Some obvious criteria allow easy recognition: at any age, it has a massive silhouette, a broad beak and a rounded skull. The male scaup has a black head, bust and back of the body contrasting particularly with the gray top, belly and white flanks. The female is dull brown with a broad white ring at the base of the beak. Some discreet white spots are present near the beak. Juveniles are characterized by a lack of white to the head, which sometimes leads to confusion with Tufted Duck.
This adorable pup caught my eye. Then I did a double take when I saw who was carrying her on the backpack worn on the front. Love it. Discretely took a shot as we passed.
