A fantastic way to start the New Year out of the water. Cold but like a mill pond out today.

I just love how this abstract one turned out! A macro shot of oil in water with a coloured background placed underneath the bowl of water!
Photographed in our garden on a buddleia bush.
Looking like a tatty Small Tortoiseshell, the Comma is now a familiar sight throughout most of England and Wales and is one of the few species that is bucking the trend by expanding its range. The butterfly gets its name from the white mark on its underside, which resembles a comma. When resting with wings closed this butterfly has excellent camouflage - the jagged outline of the wings giving the appearance of a withered leaf, making the butterfly inconspicuous when resting on a tree trunk or when hibernating.
This is primarily a woodland butterfly, where it can be seen along woodland rides and country lanes. However, especially in late summer, the butterfly is frequently seen in gardens where it feeds in on nectar sources to build up its fat reserves before entering hibernation.
The butterfly can be seen at any time of the year, occasionally awakening on warm winter days. The butterfly emerges from hibernation in March, breeding to produce the next generation, which appear at the end of June and the start of July. The majority of the offspring have dark undersides and these go on to hibernate. However, some offspring have lighter undersides and brighter upper sides, and are known as the form hutchinsoni. These don't hibernate but instead go on produce a second brood in late summer. The larvae, which resemble bird droppings, feed mainly on nettles.

As more and more Boomers retire, scenes similar to this will be a normal occurrence.
In a month I will be moving back to Wyoming after experiencing this reality first hand.
Although the desert environment can be quite beautiful with its unique ecosystem, seeing it consumed like this is just plain sad.

Another warm, sunny day and another countryside walk. We seemed to climb over an awful lot of these stiles today, some requiring high levels of athleticism to be able to get over them!

On our walk today I spotted some lovely rambling roses climbing through the trees. After the rain of yesterday most were quite battered but this one seems to have weathered the storm.

These lights, sigh. No matter where I pressed the shutter button, something awesome happened. Check out my rapidly expanding collection of aurora photos!

opens its leaves and expands its petals, at the first pattering of the shower, and rejoices in the rain-drops with a quicker sympathy than the packed shrubs in the sandy desert.

Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

On National Trust Land, this imposing and isolated lodge is available to rent out. Fabulous views but I'm not so sure about being there at night.

NEW CHAPTER, MY FRIENDS (30.06.2010): After removing my website link (more than 1,000), I´ve just received the same message and I´m out of the search lists again. Or this has relation with the message above or has no sense...
I´m not allowed by Flickr to link my personal website.... amazing....! After so many years... Maybe it´s a consequence of the Israel message, I don´t want to think bad, but I don´t believe in coincidences, moreover when lots of user are allowed to. If I continue here is because the great number of friends I´ve meet, but I´m taking advantage of this in order to complain and let you see the kind of injustice that Flickr is doing these days. Let´s see who can be more annoying...

NUEVO CAPÍTULO, AMIGOS (30.06.2010): Después de eliminar el link a mi web (más de 1000!), acabo de recibir el mismo mensaje y me han vuelto a sacar de las listas. O esto tiene algo que ver con el mensaje de arriba o no tiene sentido...
Después de cuatro años no se me permite poner el link a mi web... es increíble! Probablemente es una consecuencia al mensaje de Israel, no creo en las coincidencias y menos cuando muchos usuarios lo hacen. Si continuo por aquí es debido al gran número de amigos que he hecho, pero aprovecharé esto para protestar y hacer ver y protestar por las estupideces que Flickr está haciendo últimamente. Veremos quién molesta más...

Here's a quick demo showing a message with several replies, links, and attachments. The demo shows how we will navigate through preview links and attachments, as well as how we could expand to the full view message inline.

The cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Bubulcus, although some authorities regard two of its subspecies as full species, the western cattle egret and the eastern cattle egret. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonised much of the rest of the world in the last century.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.
The adult cattle egret has few predators, but birds or mammals may raid its nests, and chicks may be lost to starvation, calcium deficiency or disturbance from other large birds. This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range. The cattle egret removes ticks and flies from cattle and consumes them. This benefits both species, but it has been implicated in the spread of tick-borne animal diseases.
