A rabbit freezes amongst the grasses.
The reason freezing works as a defense is that a predator’s attack behavior may actually be triggered by motion. Evolution has caused the freeze strategy to come into existence precisely because it fits in with the way the visual systems of predators operate.

Headed over to Fife a few weeks ago to shoot the old ruins at Seafield, and spotted this old branch that was wedged solid into the sand at the shoreline.

Been a while since I posted an old cottage. Here´s one I found last weekend. I think it was quite nice and blended in well among the autumn leaves.

The Hourglass Of The Catherine The Great - Mystic Challenge Group Week Theme - Hourglasses
With the music : Jeremy Soule – Peace of Akatosh (The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Soundtrack)
(*) The Blue Crystal Hourglass Of The Catherine The Great
Empress Catherine II most commonly known as Catherine the Great (1729-96) ruled Russia for the last 34 years of her life. She pursued many reforms with energy, intelligence and political shrewdness.
The long-missing ancient hourglass of crystal was filled with the sands of the Taklamakan Desert around the ancient ruins of Khotan, made of crystal and gold. Flanked by four golden lion figures in it was embedded an Egyptian scarab from an Egyptian sarcophagus, offered by her lover, Prince Zubov.
Despite her personal indifference to religion it was an object that she kept secret for her protection, since she possessed a great feared of smallpox.
In those years, smallpox death rate was about 40 percent. In other words, in the 18th century, a sick person had almost equal chances to live or die.
The mystic hourglass disappeared after her death without a trace ... until our days.

Hi ha diverses esglesies fortificades per Catalunya, però en aquest cas, l'esglesia va passar a formar part directament de les muralles del castell. Es tracta de la Santa Creu de Calafell, al Baix Penedès.
La torreta a l'esquerra del campanar és el comunidor, per a beneir els camps i expulsar les tempestes espiritualment.

==================================
There are fortified churches and then there are churches embeded in the walls of a castle, like this one, in the castle of Calafell. The church is Santa Creu and it was here before the walls.
The church was built in the XI Century and most of the castle in the XIV Century, but it was destroyed in the XVII Century.
The building to the left is the conjuratory, where the priest blessed the fields and warded off storms. Or at least tried to.

I think the issue start at home. As you may notice, parents give their kids’ phone from an early age that did not overpass two years. Can you believe it! Much research proves that they could have negative effects in the future like « Concentration difficulty, Increased mental laziness, Difficult to make friends in real life,… »
ELECTRONIC SOUL.
Phones are now a day more sophisticated and developed that help every person to reach anyone anywhere at any moment, but the question remains: why the medium who gathers us disperses us? Are smartphones killing the planet faster than anyone expected? Is that logical?!
The world is progressing very fast in all fields, involving technology. The phone was developing so rapidly over the last few years. It became more closely embedded in our day-to-day lives than ever before, and I could describe the propagation of smartphones as plague, Speedy, and quiet. So I wanted to intervene in that by giving a voice to a subject that has had no voice.
When we’re looking at these images, we’re looking at how Chinese citizens are addicted to their phones, therefore I want from my project to enlighten this current issue, also the dangers that could generate from this issue like depression, loneliness, ...
If you told me back in 2000 what these devices would be capable of in around 20 years, I’d call you crazy, and I wouldn’t be alone. Back then, no one could have predicted the impact phones would have on our lives. It would have sounded like science fiction. This got me thinking: What will smartphones of the future change in our habitude as humans?

These are frangipani blossoms from a tree in our yard. They are also called plumeria which is fitting as they have a beautiful plum-like fragrance. Frangipani are edible though I've never eaten one before today, I did try one after my photo so I could report my findings. Meh, the taste is nothing to rave about, it does taste subtly of plums and left a perfumy aftertaste. My tortoise doesn't care for them either though he eats many other kinds of flowers, including hibiscus.

We wanted to hike someplace with waterfalls very badly this weekend. We've had so much rain, that I knew all the local waterfalls would be running nicely. On Friday it was cloudy, but way too windy for photos. Sunday was a total washout - it poured all day long. But on Saturday, we had a brief period of time in the morning that the winds were calm and the skies were cloudy with only light drizzle. We decided to make a quick run up to the park to hike Dark Hollow Falls. The trail is a very brief 1.4 miles, so even if it starts pouring, you can be back to your car in ten minutes.
Saturday was the first time in a few years that I walked down the Dark Hollow Falls trail proper. We visit the falls frequently, but usually access it via the Rose River Trail or the Fisher's Gap Fire Road. I tend to avoid the actual Dark Hollow trail because it's too crowded and overused. But on this particular morning, we only saw about ten other people. On pleasant days, you might pass 50+ people on the hike. (that's a lot of hikers to see on a trail barely over a mile in length!)
Anyhow... the water was running really well. By late summer, the falls are usually slowed to a trickle. I don't really think Dark Hollow Falls are the most photogenic of falls, even in the best of conditions. But, we still had a fun walk and enjoyed breakfast at Skyland Lodge afterward.
