From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geranium

 

Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. It is found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. These attractive flowers will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semi-ripe cuttings in summer, by seed or by division in autumn or spring.

 

The species Geranium viscosissimum is considered to be protocarnivorous.

 

The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a crane. The genus name is derived from the Greek γέρανος, géranos, or γερανός, geranós, crane. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. Their rose, pink to blue or white flowers have 5 petals.

 

Cranesbills are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail and Mouse Moth.

 

Confusingly, "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which were formerly classified in the cranesbill genus. In the United States, true Geraniums are frequently distinguished from the less hardy Pelargoniums as (rather redundantly) "hardy geraniums" by gardeners and in the horticultural trade. One can make the distinction between the two by looking at the flowers: Geranium has symmetrical flowers, while Pelargonium has irregular or maculate petals. Other former members of the genus are now classified in genus Erodium, including the plants known as filarees in North America.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helianthus

 

The Helianthus L. genus comprises 67 species and several subspecies in the Asteraceae family, all of which are native to North America, with some species (particularly Helianthus annuus (sunflower) and Helianthus tuberosus (Jerusalem artichoke) cultivated in Europe and other parts of the world as food crops and ornamental plants.

 

These are usually tall, annual or perennial plants, growing to a height of 50-390 cm. The rough and hairy stem is branched in the upper part. The petiolate leaves are dentate and often sticky. The lower leaves are opposite, ovate or often heart-shaped. The upper leaves are alternate and narrower.

 

They bear several to many wide, terminal capitula (flower heads), with bright yellow ray florets at the outside and maroon disc florets inside. These flower heads follow the direction of the sun, going from east to west during the day.

Helianthus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (see list of Lepidoptera that feed on Helianthus).

  

South Dakota – Chamberlain – statue entitled 'Dignity of Sky & Earth' (aka Dignity Statue or just Dignity) located on the grounds of the Lewis & Clark I-90 Info Center. This 50-foot high stainless steel statue, erected in 2014, was created by Dale Lamphere. It depicts an indigenous woman in Plains-style dress receiving a star quilt. The sculpture honours the culture of the Lakota and Dakota peoples indigenous to South Dakota.

These 39 pictures entitled "Colors of Fall in Yardley . . ." were all taken around my home in late October, pre-Hurricane Sandy. Number 7968 is a photo of the tree that came crashing down on two unsuspecting cars parked underneath it at the height of the hurricane.

 

Fall happens to be my favorite time of year and not just because pumpkin flavors are all the rage. From late September to early November, Mother Nature puts on her most spectacular show. Trees of all types slowly transition from their standard leaves to shades of red, orange, gold, brown, and even purple. Landscapes across the country pop with vibrant colors and serve as a brief reminder just how beautiful nature can be.

 

It's a great time for hiking and scenic drives and below are all the resources you need to make your trip happen. Whether you want to know just why leaves change their colors or are looking for where to see specific shades, the answers are here.

 

So Why Do Leaves Change Colors?

 

The answer lies in one word: chlorophyll. It's the chemical that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is also responsible for photosynthesis - a process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. Confused? Let's back up to the basics.

 

Trees take water from the ground using their roots. They also take carbon dioxide from the air. But trees need oxygen and glucose to grow big and healthy. In order to do that, they use sunlight to turn the water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. That's photosynthesis. And chlorophyll helps make it happen.

 

When summer ends and autumn begins, there is less sunlight since the days get shorter. This is an important hint for trees and other plants to prepare themselves for the winter. Since there isn't enough light and water during the winter for photosynthesis, trees go into rest-mode and will feed off food they have stored up over summer. While processes shut down, chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves, taking away the green color. As the green fades, the leaves show other colors that have been there all along - yellow and orange. They have been hidden all summer by chlorophyll and during the fall, it is their time to shine!

 

You're probably wondering about the other signature colors of autumn - red, purple, and brown. Well, in some trees, such as maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. That glucose is turned into a red color from the sunlight and the cool nights of autumn. The brown color of trees, such as oaks, is made from tannin - a waste product left in the leaves.

 

The brilliance of colors you see every fall is directly related to weather conditions. The brightest colors are seen when late summer is dry, and autumn has bright sunny days and cool evenings. A good supply of rainfall also keeps the leaves on trees longer and helps to enhance the color.

1890 Published in an album entitled 'Fremantle Views', this photo was labelled 'South West Aboriginal woman outside a hut of leaves wearing a Buka, 1890, near Fremantle’.

 

This Noongar/Whadjuk woman has the long digging stick, typical of the south-western and Walyalup region, which was used to dig for root vegetables and small animals. Her hut is constructed of eucalyptus branches, bent and threaded over a single frame of eucalyptus trunks placed in a semi-circle into the ground and bent over towards the centre. Balga grass (Xanthorrhoea/Grass Tree) was also used to construct huts, especially in wet weather and when the hut was to stand for any length of time. The grass fronds were stuck into a simple frame in successively higher concentric circles, to form a thatch which drained the rain onto the ground and kept the interior of the hut dry.

 

She is wearing a Buka (also Boka or Booka), the name for the cloak traditionally worn by Noongar peoples. Unlike in the south-east, where peoples such as Yorta Yorta wore possum-skin cloaks, Noongar peoples generally use the pelt of the kangaroo.

 

Whadjuk is the name of the dialectal group from the Perth area. Whadjuk is situated south of Yued and north of the Pinjarup dialectal groups. The major cities and towns within the Whajuk region include Perth, Fremantle, Joondalup, Armadale, Toodyay, Wundowie, Bullsbrook and Chidlow. The approximate size of the Whadjuk region is 5,580 km.

Despite frequent visits to the Anganwadi centre and Government hospital, Ruksana was refused a Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) card which entitles her to cash assistance on institutional child birth and post-delivery care at the government hospital or accredited private institution.

    

“When I approach the government hospital, they say a card can not be issued in my name. When I go to Anganwadi, they ask me to enquire at the government hospital. I cannot read or write. Why can’t they give me a proper answer?” says a helpless Ruksana.

The photo entitled: "Connor Pittard was 18 years old when he sat for this photo souvenir from the Atlanta Cotton Exposition in 1895. Portrait by Lenney Studio, 83 1/2 Whitehall St., Atlanta, GA." The Lenney in Portrait by Lenney Studio was my grandfather -- William Easter Lenney. I am happy to learn of his address. He moved from Newport, PA to Atlanta and became a quite well-known portrait photographer in Atlanta from 1894 to 1920 when his family moved from Atlanta to California.

Costa Mesa, California, USA - Monday, December 12, 2011

 

The signs up and down the San Joaquin Valley saying "Congress Created Dust Bowl" tick me off. (1) CA's Central Valley has *never* in my lifetime been a land of rolling rivers and (2) the actual Dust Bowl consisted of topsoil blowing away, creating huge sky-blackening dust storms. Every city of any real size in CA has developed beyond the means of the local watershed to sustain it, and that includes in the San Joaquin Valley. Congress didn't force Californians to develop that way.

 

It would be interesting to poll the people who have these signs posted and see (a) how many are still using fresh clean water to flush their toilets (b) how many are sending greywater down the drain rather than reusing it as much as possible (c) how many are taking "Navy Showers" instead of letting the water run while they scrub (d) how many let the water run while brushing their teeth.

 

Lots of residents of other parts of CA need to be taking water conservation steps, too. However, I'll take this BS propaganda a little more seriously when I see that they actually *care* about general water issues instead of just the water from upstate that they think they're entitled to.

This photographic portfolio entitled “ANCESTRAL LANDSCAPES” is the result of an incredible journey in Scotland through breathtaking natural landscapes. Scotland landscape is a permanent theater, a mysterious drama in which the initial plot seems to come from ancient feuds or the echo of legends. Contrasting like its climate, Scotland offers a range of light and shadow carried by the impetuousness of the elements. Weather reports are more like predicting the future than science. As frustrating as it may sound, it forces you to make your day unexpected. The turbulence of time exacerbates the green of the hills, the darkness of the mountains and the density of the ocean. The caledonian bad weather offers atmospheres that seem to come out of the most fantastic tales and legends. In this interplay of shades and contrasts, Scotland is a perpetual painting that offers aesthetes the violence of its brushstrokes. Consistently tackling the elements in Scotland grabs you literally and figuratively. The wind blows across the plains, the rain draws a curtain over the landscape and the proud mountains impress. Scotland is home to some of the most stunning landscapes I have ever seen. Shaped by landslides and tectonic movements that have completely sculpted their surroundings, these landscapes instantly immerse you in an almost supernatural fantasy world. One does not expect to discover such an exciting landscape. Vastness constantly echoes within us through our eyes.

 

No wonder this impeccable white one looks so snug: summer rays of light warm his face, despite the cold concrete wall he's painted on. When we met he was hidden behind a large trash container on wheels, as if the people from the city cleaning service wanted to say: out of the way, fool, you're no better than the trash we collect. Well, I agree that everyone's entitled to their own stupid opinion. But still: don't they have a heart? He's funny, really beautiful and he's laughing 24/7, no one does it better. So I decided to give him some air, and take a pic to save him. The graffiti clearing service took care of him for good. No heart.

The 2015 UMASH Annual Forum entitled "Growing Agricultural Education: Embracing Health and Safety" was held at the Davies Center on the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire campus on May 28, 2015. The forum was co-sponsored by the the Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center (UMASH), the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, the Southern Minnesota Center of Agriculture and South Central College and MN West Community and Technical College, the National Farm Medicine Center in Marshfield WI, and the Migrant Clinician's Network.

 

The forum included presentations highlighting existing efforts to address agricultural health and safety in educational programs, a panel discussion and a series of small group discussions focused on agricultural health and safety education and outreach. Fifty-five attendees from diverse backgrounds including healthcare, occupational health and safety, education, research, government, media, communications, immigrant services and human resources participated in the forum. The interactive format provided attendees many opportunities to network and take part in discussions with different attendees throughout the day.

The sculpture, made of multi-coloured mosaic and a bronze fusion, is entitled "The Prince". In fact the figure of the Prince dominates the whole structure of the fountain, coming out of the space with its dynamic attitude. It represents a big child copying with a snake. These two figures are touching only in one point, exactly where the child presses his foot on the head of the animal.

 

any references and interpretations are possible, but at first sight the conveyed idea, also corresponding to a well defined intention expressed by the artist, is that innocence and purity are exalted, with reference to childhood, compared to what is obscure and indefinite represented by the snake. The title of the work "Prince" (which is has no aristocratic meaning) is nothing but a way to sublimate, verbally as well, this intention.

 

owever even for those who do not search for symbolic meanings the work offers a nice show linked to the pleasure of sight. The artist, like in other work of his, has been enhancing shapes and colours: the mosaic into the basin and the skin of the snake are rendered in rich and precious way and the bronze dark patina of the child's figure, by means of the special treatment of its surface, results in a brilliant green colour.

 

Another element characterizing the aesthetic dimension of this work is the dynamism of the statue and its allusion to the lightness of playing, a further and at the same time complementary reading key of Consorti's artwork.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysimachia

Lysimachia is a genus of flowering plants. It is traditionally classified in the family Primulaceae but should, according to molecular phylogenetic study, be placed to the family Myrsinaceae

Lysimachia species often have yellow flowers, and grow vigorously. They tend to grow in damp conditions. Several species within Lysimachia are commonly called loosestrife, although this name is also used for plants within the genus Lythrum.

Lysimachia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some butterflies and moths, including the Dot Moth, Grey Pug, Lime-speck Pug, Small Angle Shades and V-pug.
