An eyecatching waterfall in Sutherland, Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The falls drop only about 50 feet from Loch na Gainmhich above but the gorge they flow through adds to the spectacle they provide when there is a good flow of water as seen here.
Blue Roundhead / stropharia caerulea. Pioneer Meadows, Derbyshire. 15/10/19.
An image I made on the first day I discovered the Blue Roundheads. It shows the largest fruiting body in the group of eight which is listing to one side in the waterlogged ground.
The cap was fully open and had peaked it‘s prime. You can see that the central area had changed colour to a brownish-ochre tone. Also, the slimy cap covering had dried there too, leaving a more glutinous membrane.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.

Don’t eat meat, eat bugs! Larva fat to replace butter…woohoo! Humans can’t digest Chitin…but hey, if you love cancer, chow down. Let’s put mRNA vaccines in lettuce—for the soft cull. Death rates rising! Cancer rates rising! The New York Times: “A Taste for Cannibalism?” “Soylent Green is people!” Eat green, eat healthy! But don’t drink the water, unless it’s recycled sewage! Don’t breath, unless you pay a carbon tax. Save the planet, get rid of oil and gas! Say no to cars, stay home. Net-zero emissions for you! Woohoo, let’s become a third world dump, let’s become utterly impoverished. Let’s embrace this dystopian nightmare. War, Famine, and plague—BABY! The Georgia Guidestones, the American Stonehenge of paganism: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” That sounds like an excellent idea! Will you choose euthanasia to save the planet? It’s for the greater good! Sorry: I’m an individualist, not a collectivist. The devil’s gospel is depopulation. But God said, “Be fruitful and multiply.” Remember: you can’t save your soul, how much less the planet. They worship the earth as an idol! But I worship the creator, not the created.
The Hegelian Dialectic is a satanic apparatus. Order out of chaos is a satanic principle. Satanic theology: the Hegelian Dialectic—Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. The New World Order Hegelian Dialectic: Problem, Reaction, Solution—order out of chaos. Climate change, climate change! WEATHER AND CLIMATE MODIFICATION—Report of the SPECIAL COMMISSION ON WEATHER MODIFICATION—NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION. A global technocratic superstate—let’s microchip the people…it’s what’s best for the planet! Take the devils bait, and you’ll become a devil worshipping transhuman. Then, just as Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden, you too will be thrown out of the paradise of Heaven. Indeed, the Hegelian Dialectic rolls on. It will roll on towards global authoritarianism, and an Antichrist—666 the globalist utopia realized. Will they obtain Godhood in their utopia? Nope! They will never be omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent—they will try to accomplish this with their technology, but they will fail miserably. L-O-S-E-R-S! Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis, and the false trinity: Dragon, Beast, and False Prophet—a satanic cult. Become a new socialist man, a new creation of the Beast—a transhuman who has taken another bite of the apple. When you do this, you’ll become more enlightened, and your eyes will be opened. Why are you trying to replicate man’s original sin? It’s because you too are rebelling against God! However, eating the apple means that you will surely die, how much more when you attempt to steal another bite. “The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the Beast and his Image and have accepted the Mark of his name.” Indeed, with judgment comes heat!
A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. And something like a great burning mountain and a great blazing star fell into the waters. A third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were darkened. A third of the day had no light, and likewise a third of the night. Then the shaft of the bottomless pit was opened, and billows of smoke arose. Out of the dense haze came demonic locusts. They had tails and stingers like scorpions. They covered the land, they swarmed the sky! Both land and sky were black with locusts. There was no place to escape. They were everywhere! They were in every house, in every room. They were in the food, they were in the water. They aggressively stung without mercy! The pain of their sting was like that of a scorpion. The land was burned by fire—now it’s your turn to burn with pain. You will be stung both day and night. You will seek death, but you will not find it. You will long to die, but death will elude you. If bugs are what you want, then bugs are what you’ll get. However, I’d advise you not to consume such bugs. Bon Appétit! And if climate change is what you want, then climate change is what you’ll get. Enjoy the heat! “The sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God.” Enjoy your judgment of fire: “A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.” And just think: this is only the tip of the iceberg! It sucks to be you! Enjoy your dystopian bliss!
Big Ben is a very famous and eye catching feature of London but when it is paired with the Houses of Parliament, it becomes even more of a tourist attraction. The amazing golden building is bursting with history. London wouldn't be the same without this great building.

Back to falling snow and colder temperatures today. I had planned to meet a couple of friends at a city park this morning, but we've just cancelled, as the roads will be really bad.
On 25 January 2014, I spent an amazing day south of Calgary with friends Cathy and Terry. I had found an e-mail on my computer around 12:45 a.m., just as I was about to turn off my computer for the night. Did I want to go birding tomorrow and, if so, to meet at 8:00 a.m.? A full day of excitement and enjoyment left me tired out, but so happy. I had been missing being out and taking photos, feeling lethargic and extremely tired, so this invite was welcomed with open arms. The crazy weather soared to a balmy 11C, but a lot of the day was colder, with a strong wind! Along one of the roads, we came across these and other bright red granaries/sheds - I always love to see anything bright red in a snowy, wintry setting.
Can you believe that we saw 16 owls (oops, when I first posted this info under a previous photo, we thought we had seen 17, but after viewing all their photos and videos, my friends reckon that we "only" saw 16, ha. SIXTEEN! 8 Snowy Owls and 8 Great Horned Owls. The closest Snowy Owl was seen when it was early evening and the light had gone, and my photos are all blurry. The other owls were little more than a tiny speck in the far, far distance, but I still managed to get some kind of shot of some of them, using 48x zoom plus cropping. Perhaps I should add that maybe 15 of the owls that were seen would never have been seen by less experienced birders (and I include myself in that category!). My friends have brilliant eyes when it comes to spotting owls! Just left me shaking my head each time they found one! I'm not too bad at finding owls, but not at that distance!
An interesting link, with the information below, that answers the question: "WHY ARE BARNS USUALLY PAINTED RED?"
home.howstuffworks.com/question635.htm
"If you've ever driven through a rural area, it's likely that you've seen the red barns that speckle the farming landscape. There are several theories as to why barns are painted red.
Centuries ago, European farmers would seal the wood on their barns with an oil, often linseed oil -- a tawny-colored oil derived from the seed of the flax plant. They would paint their barns with a linseed-oil mixture, often consisting of additions such as milk and lime. The combination produced a long-lasting paint that dried and hardened quickly. (Today, linseed oil is sold in most home-improvement stores as a wood sealant). Now, where does the red come from?
In historically accurate terms, "barn red" is not the bright, fire-engine red that we often see today, but more of a burnt-orange red. As to how the oil mixture became traditionally red, there are two predominant theories. One is that wealthy farmers added blood from a recent slaughter to the oil mixture. As the paint dried, it turned from a bright red to a darker, burnt red. The other is that farmers added ferrous oxide, otherwise known as rust, to the oil mixture. Rust was plentiful on farms and is a poison to many fungi, including mold and moss, which were known to grown on barns. These fungi would trap moisture in the wood, increasing decay.
Regardless of how the farmer tinted his paint, having a red barn became a fashionable thing. They were a sharp contrast to the traditional white farmhouse. As European settlers crossed over to America, they brought with them the tradition of red barns. In the mid to late 1800s, as paints began to be produced with chemical pigments, red paint was the most inexpensive to buy. Red was the color of favor until whitewash became cheaper, at which point white barns began to spring up. Today, the color of barns can vary, often depending on how the barns are used."
"Black-Crowned Night Heron - May I Join You?" by Patti Deters. Two Black-Crowned Night Herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) interacting in the tree tops, with the one in flight perhaps asking to join the one perched among the pine cones. Mostly active at night, these small water birds prefer to avoid competition with their larger day-time hunting waterfowl, such as herons and egrets. During daytime, these avian roost in groups, but are not often seen as they nest deep in the trees. Towards dusk the herons leave their perches and head towards the edges of water where their short legs and compact body help them hide as they hunt. Night herons are eye-catching and colorful, with yellow legs, a white feathery chest, black crown, and long white plumes on the back of their head - though most striking is the bright red glassy eye that really make them an exciting species of wildlife to find and photograph. These particular birds were photographed separately in Fergus Falls, Minnesota on a partly cloudy spring day.

A captivating, close-up portrait of a large African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in its natural habitat, holding a tree branch in its trunk. The image captures the immense size and intelligence of the elephant as it feeds, with the rough texture of its skin and the subtle detail of its tusks in focus against a blurred background of the bush and a dirt road.

. . . Or so it must have seemed when Bamber Bridge Motor Services new Leyland Atlantean put in its first appearence at Preston during 1963. Ok, Ribble were probably running some similar buses in the town at the time, but not in anything like as spectacularly good and eyecatching a livery as this.
Weymann bodied semi-lowbridge PDR1 2295 TE was new to the firm as their No.7 in early 1963 but was acquired by Ribble with the BBMS business about four years later.
This was another of those B&W photos I bought last year which originated with the erstwhile Bus & Coach trade magazine. It was probably used in a contemporary article when the bus was new. It was taken amongst the care worn surroundings of 1960s Preston.
