eyes(some have eyes).
Jellyfish mouth is found in the centre of its body, they use mouth for both eating and pooping.
Some Jellyfish's may never actually die (Theoretically Immortal!).
Some jellyfish are clear, but others are vibrant colours of pink, yellow, blue and purple.

This magnificent flambé had the courtesy to come and forage on our lavenders last week, in fact they were 2 but the other one had lost one of its tails, this one is intact for the moment, I hope they will come again.
With a maximum wingspan of 8 cm, the flambé is a cream-colored butterfly with large black stripes. Its tails are black and the tips of its hind wings have blue lunules and red spots. It lives in plains and orchards up to 2000 m between May and August.
Thanks a lot dear friends for your visits, kind comments, awards, invites, and faves.
Wish you all a nice week❤️

Today, I've got a floral tribute for You.
When I passed this bush in the summer (in fact I was just on my way back to the car) suddenly Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave started to sing inside of my head. They still do it, every time I am watching this photograph. This was the decisive factor for the titel and the main reason, why I finally stopped there.
Heute gibt es einen kleinen Blumengruß für Euch.
Als ich im Sommer an diesem Busch vorbei kam (eigentlich war ich auf dem Weg zurück zum Auto) fingen plötzlich Kylie Minogue und Nick Cave in meinem Kopf an zu singen. Sie tun dies bis heute, sobald ich das Foto betrachte. Das war der ausschlaggebende Punkt für den Titel und dafür, dass ich überhaupt stehen geblieben bin.

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!.
You might be thinking that I went to Mars for this photo, but in fact I found this cool beetle crawling around locally at Cardinal Marsh last summer. This unique beetle is designed by nature to look like a dangerous stinging wasp so potential predators steer clear, even though it's totally harmless. Adults like this one likely feed on tree leaves and sap while their larvae consume the wood in decaying oak trees.
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.

Some facts: The ocelot, also known as the dwarf leopard, is a wild cat distributed extensively within South America including the islands of Trinidad and Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. It has been reported as far north as Texas. North of Mexico, it is found regularly only in the extreme southern part of Texas,although there are rare sightings in southern Arizona.
The ocelot is similar in appearance to a domestic cat. Its fur resembles that of a clouded leopard or jaguar and was once regarded as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds of thousands of ocelots were once killed for their fur. The feline was classified as a vulnerable species from 1972 until 1996, and is now listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot
Photographed at Pousada Santa Teresa, Mato Grosso at the end of the day.

Green Lacewing (Mallada signatus) larva
I was happy to see this Green Lacewing larva on the Jade Plant. I haven't seen a Green Lacewing for a few years.
You can see the debris on its back as it was scuttling towards the 'hole' between the Jade leaves. They carry the debris as a disguise against predators. In fact until it moved I thought is was just some seed material from the Pittosporum tree.
Recently one of my friends made a joke, saying that I am The River Thames' personal photographer. Basically he was eluding to the fact that the vast majority of my snaps include the Thames... and upon further inspection by myself, I realised this is true! So, for a change here is a London Scene without the Thames. In view is St Mary Axe (or the Gerkin) and some London buses zooming by on their daily business of picking people up.
I went for sunset and happy I did. Although you can't see much of the sunset (at least not as much as you would near the river), the sky was a gentle orange and pink hue. It was a freezing evening. But happy I ventured out :)

A sample of some of the books on my bookshelf. Taken with a vintage Canon AE-1-Program camera with a FD 55mm S.S.C f1.2 lens using a Konica VX400 Monochrome film that expired in October 2005.
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 ;) !
What you see is taken from "Les Hauts-Geneveys" : the "massif du Mont-Blanc", the highest peak of the Alps (4808,73m, France) about 135 km away.
In fact the whole village is named after the Saviour. Sotira in Greek means Saviour. Sotira is a well-known village in the Ammochostos (Famagusta) area of Cyprus and plenty of old churches have survived in the village centre. The "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Christ" is currently closed. There is archaeological work going on, but the building was too small anyway and, in the 20th century, had been replaced by the "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Jesus". I'll come back to this interesting change of title. This old church here goes back to the 13th century, back to the time of the crusades and the French occupation of Cyprus. The building began as a simple barrel roof construction. In Venetian times, the dome was added, and the spire, also in Venetian style, is a 19th century product (still built during the Ottoman occupation). The archaeological dig showed that this church is resting on foundations of a fifth century Christian basilica. So, the question of who the Saviour is, has always been central to this village. Metamorphosis or Transfiguration denotes the visible appearance of Jesus, not as man, but as God. But "Christ"? Christ is already a title presupposing divinity, no need to transfigure here. That is why, I would guess, that in the 20th century the title was changed to transfiguration of Jesus. It makes more sense. Sense is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. If, as Christian doctrine has it, Jesus Christ was one person, but had two natures (God and Man), and if the Trinity consist of three persons, but having only on nature, there is trouble if you apply Aristotelian logic. Things are made not easier by the gospel of John which stipulates that Christ was always there with God and, therefore, had pre-existence. If you find this difficult, it only means that your mind is working. The question of who the Saviour is is not a puzzle the mind can resolve. But if you sing the question, turn it into sound, or into vision, you may be on a different path. Fuji X-Pro3.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu
War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.
Aldous Huxley
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
Bertrand Russell
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein
The first casualty when war comes is truth.
Hiram Johnson
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?

Eye catching features on The Chanonry, Old Aberdeen. These buildings are much more recent than the street itself, the name coming from the fact that it was once home to the canons (clergy) of St Machar’s Cathedral, which sits at the far end. The college of canons was incorporated as early as 1240, although canons may have lived here longer than that - the nearby church became a cathedral in the 1100s.

Oh, and yes, .... occasionally we get snow in Western Oregon. In fact we are suppose to get more this evening....

The name live oak comes from the fact that evergreen oaks remain green and "live" throughout winter, when other oaks are dormant and leafless. The name is used mainly in North America, where evergreen oaks are widespread in warmer areas along the Atlantic coast from southeast Virginia to Florida, west along the Gulf Coast to Louisiana and Mexico, and across the southwest to California.
City Park holds the world's largest collection of mature live oak trees, some older than 600 years in age. The park was founded in 1854, making it the 48th oldest park in the country, and established as the "City Park" in 1891.
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.
Due to the fact that the Southwest Chief arrived at Fullerton on track three and had to crossover to main one after departing the Station. BNSF 7083 had to halt it's eastward progress and wait for the Chief to clear the junction and get far enough ahead of it so the OOCL train out of the port of Long Beach could follow on flashing yellows.

Only a fool would challenge this massive and unpredictable beast. It doesn't pay to get in a hurry. He stood there for 10-15 minutes before moving on.
A young lady from Quebec is in the car ahead of us, she was fascinated, smiling and taking lots of photos. Glad she knew not to get out of her car.

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.

Post is in fact two parts. One I dont really like the colour yellow or green and I often try my best not to include these colours in my images.
However a recent visit to fladbury mill, on the River Avon between Pershore and Evesham the other week the lush green vegetation was everywhere and a warm streak of sunlight caught the south westerly windows of the old mill whilst the sun was beginning its descent into the night.
Roll on a couple of weeks since then and the continued warm weather has now turned most of the lush areas around where i live into brown sandy tones, reminiscent of some scorched earth 50's b-movie set not to in the distant future... if you believe the media that is.
Cool water and soothing greens perhaps I like you after all.
