Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.

In its adult form, the gulf fritillary is a medium-sized butterfly that has extended forewings and a wingspan range of 6.5 to 9.5 cm.
Gulf fritillaries have a chemical defense mechanism in which they release odorous chemicals in response to predator sightings. As a result, common predators learn to avoid this species.
There is something rather special about woodland forms in the mist. It is not a genre of photography that comes easily to me, but it was rather difficult to miss the opportunity to get the long lens out and take some shots in conditions like this.

This Rock Pigeon rested for a few minutes on the railing along a walkway by the Norwalk River. I managed to get a couple of shots of the numbers and letters on the leg bands and with a bit of online research determined that this is a racing pigeon from a club in a nearby town. I sent them an email, but no response so far.

View form the Carfax Tower
Carfax is the junction of St Aldate's (south), Cornmarket Street (north), Queen Street (west) and the High Street (east) in Oxford, England. It is considered to be the center of the city. The name "Carfax" derives from the Latin quadrifurcus via the French carrefour, both of which mean "crossroads". The Carfax Tower, also known as St. Martin's Tower (it is the remaining part of what was the City Church of St. Martin of Tours) is a prominent landmark and provides a look-out over the town.

A pastel from my art 'chapter' archive. Making this little image was sheer joy. With no planning at all, everything about it flowed out spontaneously, with ease and grace, and I was pleasantly surprised at the result.

Allestito all’interno dell’Ex Palestra della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, il Museo della Forma Urbis custodisce i frammenti superstiti di una grande planimetria di Roma incisa su 150 lastre di marmo tra il 203 e il 211 d.C., originariamente esposta sulla parete di un’aula nel Tempio della Pace, in seguito inglobata nel complesso dei SS. Cosma e Damiano. Si tratta di uno dei più rari documenti giunto a noi dall’antichità , che restituisce un panorama unico del paesaggio urbano di Roma antica. Nella sua integrità , su di una superficie di 18x13m circa erano rappresentati almeno 13.550.000 m2 di città attraverso una moltitudine di sottili incisioni che raffiguravano le planimetrie degli edifici di Roma, a una scala media di circa 1:240. Considerata la posizione, la difficile leggibilità e la generale assenza di dettagli, è probabile che la pianta marmorea avesse, più che una finalità pratica, una funzione di propaganda e di celebrazione del potere, fornendo all’osservatore una visione generale della città e dei suoi grandiosi monumenti, le cui sagome erano facilmente individuabili anche grazie all’uso del colore.
Anche se rinvenuti a centinaia, a partire dal 1562 e fino ai pezzi scoperti più di recente, i frammenti della Forma Urbis costituiscono circa un decimo della pianta originale, in uno stato di conservazione che varia da piccole schegge a settori di lastra con interi quartieri, case, portici, templi e botteghe. Solamente per circa 200 frammenti circa è stato finora possibile raggiungere un’identificazione e un’ideale collocazione sulla topografia moderna.

Nine Emperor Gods Festival is a very popular nine-day festival, held in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. It begins on the eve of the 9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar.
According to the traditional Chinese religion, the Nine Emperor Gods are the nine sons manifested by Father Emperor Zhou Yu Dou Fu Yuan Jun and Mother of the Big Dipper Dou Mu Yuan Jun. The Nine Emperor Gods are formed by the seven stars of the Big Dipper of the North Ursa Major. Over the time the worship to the gods declined, but the festival was brought from the mainland China to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, where it survived and got certain unique traits.
The temples of the deities hold a traditional ceremony to welcome the emperors. It's believed, that they arrive through the waterways, that's why festive processions are held from the temples to sea shore or river. The sending-off ritual starts on the last day of the festival.
Nine Emperor Gods Festival is also known as the Vegetarian Festival in Thailand and Singapore. The name derives from the vegetarian ritual, held on the eve of the festival. The followers abstain from eating meat during the festival to purify their bodies from sins.
Ravens and crows together form the genus Corvus in the corvid family (Corvidae). The larger representatives are referred to as "ravens", the smaller ones as "crows". However, this is not a taxonomic classification. The genus includes 42 species, which are distributed almost worldwide and are missing only in South America. In Europe, the common raven, the carrion crow (carrion crow and hooded crow) and the rook occur. As a naturalized neozoon, the crow has also been breeding in the Netherlands since the late 1990s.
Ravens and crows are among the largest species within the order of passerines: the two largest representatives of the genus are the common raven (Corvus crassirostris) and the common raven (Corvus corax), each of which has a body length of between 60 and 70 cm and a body weight of up to Can reach 1.5 kg and are therefore the largest passerine birds ever.

Raben und Krähen bilden zusammen die Gattung Corvus in der Familie der Rabenvögel (Corvidae). Die größeren Vertreter werden als „Raben“, die kleineren als „Krähen“ bezeichnet. Hierbei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um eine taxonomische Einteilung. Die Gattung umfasst 42 Arten, die fast weltweit verbreitet sind und nur in Südamerika fehlen. In Europa kommen der Kolkrabe, die Aaskrähe (Rabenkrähe und Nebelkrähe) und die Saatkrähe vor. Als eingebürgertes Neozoon brütet zudem die Glanzkrähe seit Ende der 1990er Jahre in den Niederlanden.
Raben und Krähen zählen zu den größten Arten innerhalb der Ordnung der Sperlingsvögel: Die beiden größten Vertreter der Gattung sind der Erzrabe (Corvus crassirostris) und der Kolkrabe (Corvus corax), die jeweils eine Körperlänge zwischen 60 und 70 cm und ein Körpergewicht von bis zu 1,5 kg erreichen können und damit die größten Sperlingsvögel überhaupt sind.
