Making the most of my week off from work - I'm just waiting for my brother (www.flickr.com/photos/robert_stocker/) to make a comment to tell me that I've got too much time on my hands :)
Finding the right glue to build this cube from matchsticks was tricky - PVA and superglue were useless... Evostick's Serious Glue worked a treat!
Inspired by a book that I read just before Christmas called 'Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through the 10th Dimension' by Michio Kaku and how a 'Flatlander' may visualise a three-dimensional cube by examining it's shadow and how we with our 'three-dimensional' brains may similarly appreciate and conceptualise higher dimensions.
If you examine this image you will notice that the bottom of this ravine is clearly visible and blends with the reflection. No polarizer was used to catch this subaqueous view.
This is, however, a hdr processed image from 3 exposures.
Catatonia
is a syndrome of psychological and motorological disturbances. In the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV) it is not recognized as a separate disorder, but is associated with psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia (catatonic type), bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other mental disorders, as well as drug abuse or overdose (or both). It may also be seen in many medical disorders including infections (such as encephalitis), autoimmune disorders, focal neurologic lesions (including strokes), metabolic disturbances and abrupt or overly rapid benzodiazepine withdrawal.
Patients with catatonia may experience an extreme loss of motor skills or even constant hyperactive motor activity. Catatonic patients will sometimes hold rigid poses for hours and will ignore any external stimuli. Patients with catatonic excitement can die of exhaustion if not treated. Patients may also show stereotyped, repetitive movements. They may show specific types of movement such as waxy flexibility, in which they maintain positions after being placed in them by someone else, or gegenhalten (lit. "counterhold"), in which they resist movement in proportion to the force applied by the examiner. They may repeat meaningless phrases or speak only to repeat what the examiner says.
Bad day. Bad bad day.
My friends went to Chicago today to go see the Lion King and eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Where am I at? Sitting on my butt in my room. Why? Because I'm too effing poor to do crap.
Then Garry calls this morning on his way home from work and tells me that he had been asked to go into work tonight. We were supposed to take tonight and tomorrow night and celebrate our anniversary. Is that going to happen now? No. Did he even bother to call me any time in the last seven hours? No.
Haven't eaten anything yet today because the spot doesn't open until 6. Thankfully that's only a half hour away...then I can finally eat something. Will probably be crap because this school could care less about those of us stuck on campus during the weekend...but it's something.
However, I do like this picture. I have high expectations for how it'll do...which sucks cause, with the way my day is going, this thing will be totally ignored by everyone. *sigh* but I still like it...so that's good at least.

I like entrances to places. They catch my eye as I walk pas and I generally stop to examine the space. When I do, like this, usually a group will form behind me to examine me and what I might be spying on. Spy on spy.
In other news, I just picked up this lovely, brand new Canon 6D Mark II and a Sigma ART series 20mm 1.4 from my partners at Digital 24 to test and use to my desire. Today is day one of getting used to the feel and where everything is. My initial reaction is one of bliss. Really enjoy the feel of it. The Sigma is really big, but the Canon body fits really well in my hand. So far, so good. Christmas has come early.

I discovered this lady bug because I was examining a shrub in my garden that was partially infested with aphids. I happened to see her on the underside of a leaf near the area I was checking. Upon a closer look I noticed 13 tiny eggs. With camera already in hand to photograph the aphids, I began "shooting" her egg laying process instead. I took 133 shots over the 34 minutes that it took her to lay 76 eggs to get this shot (the one I wanted most) of the moment the egg was coming from her ovipositor, to placement in the row! None of the other shots that I took captured it. All photos were done hand-held, using manual focus with a 1-5x lens.
Cassini ended its 13-year mission at Saturn on 15 September 2017 when it plunged into the gas giant's atmosphere, but the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is still keeping an eye on the ringed planet.
This is a composite image taken by Hubble on 6 June 2018 showing a fully-illuminated Saturn and its rings, along with six of its 62 known moons. The visible moons are (from left to right) Dione, Enceladus, Tethys, Janus, Epimetheus and Mimas (click here for an annotated version). Dione is the largest moon in the picture, with a diameter of 1123 km, compared to the smallest, oddly-shaped Epimetheus with a diameter around 116 km.
During Cassini’s mission, Enceladus was identified as one of the most intriguing moons, with the discovery of water vapour jets spewing from the surface implying the existence of a subsurface ocean. Icy moons with subsurface oceans could potentially offer the conditions to harbour life, and understanding their origins and properties are essential for furthering our knowledge of the Solar System. ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (Juice), due to launch in 2022, aims to continue this theme by studying Jupiter's ocean-bearing moons: Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto.
The Hubble image shown here was taken shortly before Saturn's opposition on 27 June, when the Sun, Earth and Saturn were aligned so that the Sun fully illuminated Saturn as seen from Earth. Saturn's closest approach to Earth occurs around the same time as opposition, which makes it appear brighter and larger and allows the planet to be imaged in greater detail.
In this image the planet’s rings are seen near their maximum tilt towards Earth. Towards the end of Cassini’s mission, the spacecraft made multiple dives through the gap between Saturn and its rings, gathering spectacular data in this previously unchartered territory.
The image also shows a hexagonal atmospheric feature around the north pole, with the remnants of a storm, seen as a string of bright clouds. The hexagon-shaped cloud phenomenon is a stable and persistent feature first seen by the Voyager 1 space probe when it flew past Saturn 1981. In a study published just last week, scientists using Cassini data collected between 2013 and 2017, as the planet approached northern summer, identified a hexagonal vortex above the cloud structure, showing there is still much to learn about the dynamics of Saturn’s atmosphere.
The Hubble observations making up this image were performed as part of the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) project, which uses Hubble to observe the outer planets to understand the dynamics and evolution of their complex atmospheres. This was the first time that Saturn was imaged as part of OPAL. This image was first published on 26 July.

This was the Albemarle Hotel on Piccadilly. It is briefly mentioned in Bram Stoker's Dracula, where Arthur Holmwood writes a letter from this hotel to Dr. John Seward expressing concern about Lucy's health & asks him to examine her.
"Albemarle Hotel 31 August.
My dear Jack,--
"I want you to do me a favour. Lucy is ill; that is, she has no special disease, but she looks awful, and is getting worse every day.
I have asked her if there is any cause; I do not dare to ask her mother, for to disturb the poor lady's mind about her daughter in her present state of health would be fatal. Mrs. Westenra has confided to me that her doom is spoken--disease of the heart--though poor Lucy does not know it yet. I am sure that there is something preying on my dear girl's mind. I am almost distracted when I think of her; to look at her gives me a pang.
I told her I should ask you to see her, and though she demurred at first--I know why, old fellow--she finally consented. It will be a painful task for you, I know old friend, but it is for her sake, and I must not hesitate to ask, or you to act. You are to come to lunch at Hillingham to-morrow, two o'clock, so as not to arouse suspicion in Mrs. Westenra, and after lunch Lucy will take an opportunity of being alone with you. I shall come in for tea, and we can go away together; I am filled with anxiety, and want to consult with you alone as soon as I can after you have seen her. Do not fail!
Arthur."
Coincidentally, 31 August is also the same day Mary Ann Nichols became a victim of Jack the Ripper in 1888.

St. Isaac's Cathedral is the largest cathedral in St. Petersburg. It was the largest church in Russia when it was built (101.5 meters high), and is still the third largest domed cathedral in the world.
St. Isaac's Cathedral was ordered by Tsar Alexander I to replace an earlier Rinaldiesque structure. A specially appointed commission examined several designs, including that of the French-born architect Auguste de Montferrand (1786-1858), who had studied in the atelier of Napoleon's designer, Charles Percier.
The cathedral took 40 years to construct, under Montferrand's direction, from 1818 to 1858. It was dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great.
During World War II, the dome was painted over in gray to avoid attracting attention from enemy aircraft.

I'm posting my "daily three" around 2:00 am on 21 February 2015, as I'm not sure if I'll go for a day of birding. Depends partly on the weather (snow is forecast) and whether I end up sleeping right through two alarm clocks that play very loud music for an hour, and my kitchen timer, lol!
On 8 February 2015, I decided that I would join a group of friends for a morning birding walk in Fish Creek Park. I tend to miss most of the walks, so felt it was OK to go a second time this week. We started at Shannon Terrace, covering a good part of the area, and then the group started heading eastwards, towards Bebo Grove. At that point, my body was telling me that I had done enough walking, so I left my friends and made my way back to the parking lot. We had already seen a beautiful Pileated Woodpecker, which was perhaps the highlight of the walk. The light was not good as the Woodpecker was quite deep within the trees. I timed my return walk well, as I saw a pair of these spectacular birds out in the open. I'm guessing that the earlier bird was one of the two I saw when I was by myself.
After this walk, I went straight to the area of the park where the tiny Northern Pygmy-owl has been seen on quite a few of the days during the last few weeks. However, I was out of luck this day,
Shortly after I arrived there, a friend drove into the parking lot and we got chatting about the extremely confusing system of the way roads outside the city limits are numbered. Roads can have two different numbers - a Range Rd/Township Rd number plus a street or avenue number. All the maps that I have seen give the RR/TWP number only, so it's very difficult to find a location given in St. or Ave. numbers. The reason for this chat was that some of us were unable to find on a map the locations for Wild Turkeys and Northern Hawk Owls that have been reported recently. My friend told me to hop in and we'd go looking for turkeys : )! He already knew this whole area SW of the city, but I had never driven that part. Even though we were unlucky with finding any of the birds, it was extremely helpful to me to just see what the area looked like - more hilly than I had imagined. An area where I know I could very easily get totally lost, especially given the confusing mess of road numbering! Many thanks, Phil, for this unexpected and very helpful trip!! I really appreciated it!
"The Pileated Woodpecker is one of the biggest, most striking forest birds on the continent. It’s nearly the size of a crow, black with bold white stripes down the neck and a flaming-red crest. Look (and listen) for Pileated Woodpeckers whacking at dead trees and fallen logs in search of their main prey, carpenter ants, leaving unique rectangular holes in the wood. The nest holes these birds make offer crucial shelter to many species including swifts, owls, ducks, bats, and pine martens." From AllAboutBirds.

Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) Washington, DC
A surprise sighting (in January 2022) of a couple of these birds in a residential area of the city. This smart bird was repeatedly tugging on the yellow strings trying to open the bag. What did the bird see in this trash bag?
Ace Brickman examines a cookie he found nearby. The cookie is still warm, which leads him to believe that it was baked nearby :-)
I don't actually have a story planned out. I'm just randomly taking photos and seeing if it goes anywhere :-) Plus I enjoy the opportunity to experiment with black and white photos (with Ace as the subject).
This is Little Owl (Athene noctua).
Every encounter with this fabulous bird is an experience by itself !
Thank you for your faves and kind comments, very much appreciated - deaR♥‿♥
The climate in the SE of Ireland is warm & dry enough for Giant Viper's-Bugloss "Echium pininana" to thrive (we do put frost fleece over them if a hard frost is forecast). They take 2-3 years to reach full size then they produce this amazing flower spike covered in delicate blue/purple flowers that bees love. The plant in the foreground is the same age but hasn't sent a flower spike up. Saving itself for next year. Martin took the photo & I'm delighted he got the whole plant in to show it's height.
The first Saturday in May is World Naked Gardening Day. I've taken part the past 2 years, the photos have generated a lot of interest (and laughs) so I thought I'd give it a go again but outside this year not hiding away in the polytunnel. I'm donating €5 to The Donkey Sanctuary, Ireland for each of my Flickr friends who dares to bare a bit on the day.

47 409 catches the midday sun as it races north past Inveresk with 1S12 the 08.40 York to Aberdeen.
Note.
Keith didn't record the loco number in his written notes but the identity of this loco has been deduced from examining the original negative at a larger magnification and cross referencing it with contemporary images of 47 409 circa 1982. The image was taken between 1st - 8th June 1982.
the end of the year review, the beginning of the new.
I am still on a no-fave vacation. I'm cleaning out my favorites, which should take about a year. : (
I love invitations to groups. love them! but I don't like those big or sparkly icons. so, as much as I love being invited to groups, and love you for inviting me, I will delete them.
sorry.
