[Well, maybe not quite yet "joyful" and certainly still well-disguised. In fact, we had a few inches of snow overnight.]

WONDERFUL FACTS - The Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) - also called Asian Buffalo, Asiatic Buffalo and Wild Asian Buffalo.
Is a large bovine native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000.
A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue.
The global population has been estimated at 3,400 individuals, of which 3,100 (91%) live in India, mostly in Assam.
The wild water buffalo is the probable ancestor of the domestic water buffalo

Arriving at destination after a long, long flight. The landscape still looks arid, but in fact, we a reaching a wonderful city.
reading fingers have left almost invisible traces on the letters. the story is very old.
what is readable, what can we know...just some shades and hints of the forgotten lives.
Mallard fact: if a predator is lurking nearby, a mother mallard will pretend to be injured to distract it from her brood. That's motherly love. :)
Amazing Facts About the Seagull
Seagulls are very clever. They learn, remember and even pass on behaviors, such as stamping their feet in a group to imitate rainfall and trick earthworms to come to the surface.
Seagulls’ intelligence is clearly demonstrated by a range of different feeding behaviors, such as dropping hard-shelled mollusks onto rocks so that they break open so they can eat them, and following plows in fields where they know upturned grubs and other food sources will be plentiful.
Seagulls are attentive and caring parents. The male and female pair for life and they take turns incubating the eggs, and feeding and protecting the chicks!.

Thank you for your visit and kind comments!.
You all have a wonderful weekend!.
I have been single for six years in the sense that I live alone at home.
Since breaking up with my ex, the only man I've ever really shared my life with, I've still been dating. I spent nine months with one guy, never living together, a few weeks with another and three more for what were just one night stands.
So I'm still single. And so it is based on real facts that I will tell you, in four parts, this "story of my life".

Odd fact: The Baltimore Oriole received its name from the fact that the male's colors resembled those on the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore.

In 1634 Jacques-Philipe Cornut (1606-1651) saw this Nerine in a French garden owned by the famed Morin family, well-known nurserymen of Paris. He named it Narcissus japonicus. Apparently a Dutch eastindiaman had earlier been shipwrecked on Guernsey. The Dutch traded heavily with Japan and would return to Europe by way of the Cape of Good Hope. Some of that ship's wreckage among which the bulbs of our plant washed away and quickly brightened the shores of Guernsey. Soon they were growing in Europe and England, too. Cornut incorrectly assumed that our plant hailed from Japan by way of South Africa and Guernsey. It is, in fact, a South African plant. In 1820 it was renamed Nerine sarniensis - from Guernsey - by astute English botanist William Herbert (1778-1947). Incidentally, Cornut remarks that their lack of aroma is compensated by the very beauty of the colors of the flower.
Here in the Amsterdam Hortus it's Autumn and one of the few bright plants to be seen. In the background Euryops, also from South Africa.

Trump doesn't like the fact that some provisions of the Iran nuclear treaty expire in seven years, so he backs out of it, which means those provisions expire immediately. What a mental dwarf! It's really only because the treaty was negotiated under the Obama administration, sorta like the ACA.
Let's be very clear: It's one thing to say a peace treaty is bad. It's very much another to rip it apart with no better idea, no plan, no negotiation, no expertise, no allies and no ultimate goal except perhaps starting another serious conflict -- and that's already happening. The guy is an idiot, that thinks he's a genius.
In most cases, I am more than happy to let worthy and humane organizations use my work. If you'd like to use one of my images, simply leave me a comment or contact me via Flickr Mail. Please ask.
Fun fact: It's a scene you’ve probably seen countless times in movies and on TV: An eagle flies overhead and emits a rough, piercing scream. It's a classic symbol of wilderness and adventure. The only problem? Bald eagles don't make that sound. Instead, they emit a sort of high-pitched giggle or a weak scream. These noises are so unimpressive that Hollywood sound editors often dub over bald eagle calls with far more impressive sounds: the piercing, earthy screams of a smaller bird, the red-tailed hawk.

We finally have enough snow to get snowshoes on the trail and it was a great way to enjoy a brisk winter day. Had to be careful, though - lot's of rocks, holes, and crevices in this area. Using hiking poles was often a must for testing deeper snow ahead. Blue side trail blazes (see one here?) were also much easier to follow as compared to the white version of the main trail, which were frequently difficult to see in the snowy trees. In fact, we missed a turn at one point and had to hunt around for it.
There is something particularly satisfactory in the fact of posting this picture. And it's a satisfaction that, I am sure, people living in this area will understand very well … Every year in the end of Fall, lakeside is covered by a sea of fog that remain unmoved for month. During the last two weeks, people living above it had perfect clear weather and warm sunny days while people living under it were experiencing the despairing boring constancy of gray light. Most of the time, people living by the lakeside (who don't climb the mountains really often) just don't realize that there's only a few dozen of meters between their depressing weather and the heaven above. And it's probably a good thing for them : knowing it would just make it harder …
Now imagine my situation : I live above the sea of fog, but I work under it (and I'd rather say INSIDE it) ! So now that the days are really short, I leave home late enough to be sure that the day is going to be perfect, but too soon to enjoy even the beginning of it. All day long I think about people above who are enjoying it (recently, my mother-in-law called: she was hesitating between spending her afternoon biking or roller skating). And when I come back home the sun is already down, and the last colors of the cloud are just telling me : “yes, you miss some very nice pictures ...”. And this every morning for the last two weeks. Of course, there's terribly worst situations. But I am sure you will agree : how frustrating it is!!
So yesterday, I decided to take half an hour before going to work to enjoy the sunrise just above the sea of fog, and here is the result. I am sure you'll understand that it is a kind of revenge ;) !

As I've mentioned before, one of the things I like about shooting panoramas is the possibility of 'discovering' alternative compositions after the fact. This one was obvious and quite easy, as it happened to be part of a single, discreet frame. So, I thought I should frame it :-)
The fact that nature is tied to increasing entropy—that is, to the increasing loss of energy over time—and hence to irreversible time, also allows for the enfolding of each person’s biography into the supportive fabric of a long cosmic narrative that is still incomplete. Nature, or what theology calls creation, is an unfinished drama rather than the product of an opening instant of divine magic. This means that the universe is undergoing a suspenseful and anticipatory process into which the evolution of all species and the brief stories of our own lives are woven seamlessly.

Unguided missile launcher from the 1800's or earlier. Dropped in favor of the larger wooden wheel models. Less hernias, while moving said unit, were endured as a result.

Your competitive advantage (in everything you do) is the fact that you've allowed yourself the time to discover the genuine moral support, identical to the ones you've given.
This is a village in Kannur which was developed as a tourism destination by the District Tourism Promotion Council. A strikingly beautiful place with a lot of mangroves and pristine water, the number of Common Kingfishers sighted being testament to the fact. Did see a lot of Little Cormorants as well, but not too many other birds. Shall go there again and try my luck.

In fact two different poppies, I think, on the riverside walk opposite Victoria Park. From nothing just a couple of weeks back, these giant Poppies grow to at least three feet, and are a curious mixture of strength, in the new flower buds, and fragility in the papery petals.
Other than the fact that the tower is 62 feet high, I couldn't find any more information as to its meaning or significance. It's located in the beautiful Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, FL.
