A small stream flowing from the distant 'Hopelessness' Hot Spring area which reminded me of the old Sargasso Sea.

The distant storm seems to be evolving as well!

Slowly showing more and more coloration, this Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) will have much more red streaking his body in about a year's time. You can already see this coloration coming in around his eyes and mouth, with light flourishes painting his legs and abdomen. He's got loads of crickets to eat before then, though--he eats over a dozen a day!

 

And chameleons really are quite evolved! Seemingly every facet of their being is highly specialized for survival, from their gripping, pincer like feet, to their prehensile tails, to their separately-swiveling eyes, to their color-shifting skin, to their darting tongues. Most chameleons share these incredible traits, be they tiny Leaf Chameleons (like the smallest of all, Brookesia micra, which grows to only an inch in length) or the Parson's Chameleon, which grows to over 25 inches in length, or the size of a house cat!

 

This panther chameleon, named Queso, lives in captivity.

Common Whitethroat - Sylvia communis

 

Taken on on local walks!

 

The common whitethroat (Sylvia communis) is a common and widespread typical warbler which breeds throughout Europe and across much of temperate western Asia. This small passerine bird is strongly migratory, and winters in tropical Africa, Arabia, and Pakistan.

 

This is one of several Sylvia species that has distinct male and female plumages. Both sexes are mainly brown above and buff below, with chestnut fringes to the secondary remiges. The adult male has a grey head and a white throat. The female lacks the grey head, and the throat is duller.

 

This species may appear to be closely related to the lesser whitethroat, the species having evolved only during the end of the last ice age similar to the willow warbler and chiffchaffs. However, researchers found the presence of a white throat is an unreliable morphological marker for relationships in Sylvia, and the greater and lesser whitethroats are not closely related.

 

This is a bird of open country and cultivation, with bushes for nesting. The nest is built in low shrub or brambles, and 3–7 eggs are laid. Like most warblers, it is insectivorous, but will also eat berries and other soft fruit.

 

Population:

 

UK breeding:

1,100,000 territories

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.

 

This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.

 

The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.

 

In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.

 

While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

 

I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Seattle continues to grow at an ever-increasing rate. The downtown region has gained so many buildings, particularly on its northern side, that one can no longer see the Space Needle from this vantage.

Picturesque framing of a prominent date palm tree surrounded by a field of green and golden vegetation under a clear bright blue sky.

A landscape characteristic of the Nile Valley in Egypt.

 

Other smaller palm trees and greenery are visible further back in the mid ground near the mountains.

Its strong vertical form and lush green fronds contrast with the surrounding landscape. The backdrop of dry, rocky mountains is typical of the desert terrain bordering the fertile Nile strip.

The presence of cultivated green fields around the palm tree indicates an irrigated area, consistent with agriculture supported by the Nile River.

 

A clear sense of depth, with the palm tree in the mid-ground, positioned slightly off-center, adhering to the rule of thirds for a more dynamic composition. The horizon line is relatively low, emphasizing the sky and the mountains.

 

Palm trees evolve to grow tall to outcompete other plants for sunlight, which is essential for energy production.

Their large, flat leaves are designed to maximize the absorption of sunlight during the day, allowing them to convert light into energy more efficiently.

 

Taken during early morning in front of the Theban mountain. The warm, soft light of the golden hour illuminating the scene, the palm tree is well-lit and the mountains have a warm, sandy hue. The sky is a clear, bright blue, providing a strong contrast to the earthy tones of the landscape.

 

The image evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, highlighting the resilience of life in an arid landscape.

A moment of tranquility where green meets gold and mountains touch the sky.

Back in the day photography close-ups of nature was very appealing to me and while my interests have evolved into different subjects and styles I always find my way back to my photo roots of macro. Recently Reid Northrup a fellow Flickr-ite has posted the most dreamy flower photos he uses LensBaby Soft Optic II and after looking into their line of lenses I picked up their Velvet 85 thanks to B&H Photo and their daily deals. Although the results are different between the two lenses I’m happy with my choice and how it fits in to my photography style.

 

BTW: check out Reid’s photostream he does some amazing work.

I'm so happy to be getting older

Look at this beauty

 

If I can be so beautiful when I'm old I don't mind getting older

 

The years that go by marks you

How cool isn't that

 

I would rather have wrinkles and grey hair then no traces of a lived life

If I don't have scars and traces in my mind and body I feel I have avoided life

And why am I on earth?

Of course (in my mind) it is to evolve and then I need to deep dive into it all

 

Sometimes I have a wet fuse, like very many others, it is so wet it feels like it's lying in the water

But when my fuse is getting out of the water then the action starts

 

It is not always easy to be around me when I'm full of energy

Even I thinks I'm a bit too much

Yesterday was one of them days, I think I was laughing all day of nothing and everything

Luckily I was totally alone all day, Aiko doesn't care - he gets his attention and cuddles and doesn't care about my overjoy of life

 

I was feeling high yesterday, lol, high on myself

Good grief how 16 can you be....

 

I was meditating the other day and the words that came to me that filled me with joy and a feeling of being loved was

Enjoy Life

Nyt Livet

 

I think I'm ready for that now

Amen

It's a slow process - And we have been evolving much longer then we think

Reworked from coloured version 2010

Happy Sliders Sunday!
