Life Celebrates Diversity

So glad to be out of the midwest, record cold temperatures there now, and I thought it was cold last week. Was in Los Angeles Friday and it was a pleasant 70 degrees, but in Pasco Washington tonight and temperature is supposed to get down to around zero degrees Fahrenheit, so as always getting a bit of everything weather and temperature wise.
Besides covering lots of the country, been pretty lucky on the photo opportunities. Added another 40-50 picture's to my ready to post queue this week.
This one is from this morning and just north of Winnemucca Nevada on US-395. The highway goes up and around to the left of these mountains, to Paradise Summit and Pass. I got some pretty cool pictures up there as well. Lots of 5 minute photo stops today.
The project was launched by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure that would unite the cultural diversity of the Islamic world with the historical and modern values of architecture and art.
A Richardson’s geranium (Geranium richardsonii) leaf glows in a light fleck traveling across the forest floor littered with fallen aspen leaves. The reds of the geranium leaf, along with the strawberry leaves (Frageria virginiana) in the background, are provided by anthocyanin pigments formerly masked by the more dominant green chlorophyll. The yellow and orange aspen leaves are colored by xanthophyll and carotenoid pigments. These non-green pigments help increase light capture for photosynthesis, as well as protect the plant against ultraviolet light, cold temperatures, and pathogens. Whatever their role the combination of the pigments and the resulting diversity of colors makes autumn a lovely season, at least for a few days in this forest.

Solo lo spirito può suscitare la diversità, la pluralità, la molteplicità e allo stesso tempo fare l'unità. Perché quando siamo noi a voler fare la diversità facciamo gli scismi e quando siamo noi a voler fare l'unità facciamo l'uniformità, l'omologazione.
(Papa Francesco)
Only the spirit can stir diversity, plurality, multiplicity and at the same time making the unit. Because when we want to make the difference we make schisms and when are we to want to make the unit do the uniformity, the approval.
(Pope Francesco)
Kanga is the 3rd of the three sisters. They all have different colors, and Kanga shows all of them combined - really cool (Squirrels-2020-1132.jpg)
Patagonie. Cette image d'une autre époque traduit bien le décalage culturel de ce coin de pays. Cultural diversity. Lonesome cowboy.
Standing on the side of a logging road and looking out into Vancouver Island's rain forest, one cannot help but be amazed at the diversity of nature up in the trees. You need to stand there for a while and take it all in.
"All God's creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they've got now"
Bill Staines "A Place In The Choir"
There is an amazing diversity in arctic plants, all minature-sized compared to their counterparts further south. Here is a colourful example from a south facing slope in late summer, Danmark Ø, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.

Mer Bleue Bog, Greenbelt, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Due to the peat acidity and lack of minerals, most plants cannot survive in the bog, Sphagnum acts as an insulation against the sun and shortens the growing season by retaining the cold long after the snow melts. All these conditions make this area ideal for plants that are accustomed to the rigours of the North, and the peat bog has become the kingdom to plants of the Tundra. The Labrador Tea, Leatherleaf and Laurel: three of the main shrubs that carpet the northern tundra along with trees like the Larch (or Tamarack) and Black Spruce. Source: National Capital Commission
La tourbière de la Mer Bleue,
Ceinture de verdure, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
En raison de l'acidité de la tourbe et du manque de minéraux, la plupart des plantes ne peuvent pas survivre dans la tourbière, la sphaigne agit comme un isolant contre le soleil et raccourcit la saison de croissance en retenant le froid longtemps après la fonte des neiges. Toutes ces conditions rendent cette zone idéale pour les plantes habituées aux rigueurs du Nord, et la tourbière est devenue le royaume des plantes de la toundra. Le thé du Labrador, la feuille de cuir et le laurier : trois des principaux arbustes qui tapissent la toundra du nord ainsi que des arbres comme le mélèze laricin et l'épinette noire.
