Ein anderes Foto vom Strandbesuch.
Ich hoffe es gefällt. Das zarte, zerbrechliche Ding machte mich einfach irgendwie an.
Another shot from saturday. It was so fragile and cute, i had to shoot it. I hope you like it. The beach is wonderful.
Please, take a moment for a little comment. Please don´t post any graphics!
The 2006 festive display at Melbourne's GPO consists of grey inflatable "Christmas Trees" wrapped in 'Fragile' tape and suspended at quantity from the ceiling. You can see the entire display here.
Create a hyper-realistic, cinematic close-up of a polished robotic hand gently raised toward the light. On its metallic fingertip, a delicate monarch butterfly perches, wings glowing softly with warm, translucent hues. The robotic hand should feature intricate joints, cables, and reflective chrome surfaces illuminated by golden bokeh lights in the background. Capture the contrast between cold engineered precision and the fragile beauty of nature. Use shallow depth of field, warm ambient light, and a serene, contemplative atmosphere to emphasize harmony between technology and life.
Why is beauty so fragile? Or is it that fragility is what makes a treasure beautiful?

Thanks for stopping by.
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile....

Photo creds go to my boyfriend. :) I asked him to take this photo for me in our hotel room during our July vacation to Orlando, Florida.
Leptodea fragilis
State listed as Endangered in Vermont
The Fragile Papershell is found in various sized bodies of water, from headwater streams to rivers and lakes. It can also inhabit mud, gravel, and even found in sand. This freshwater mussel can grow up to six inches long and is oblong shaped. When mating, the males release sperm into the water which is taken in by the females through their respiratory current. The eggs are internally fertilized and then pass into the water through the gills where they attach themselves to host fish to relocate. Generally, they breed once a year during the warmer months. The age of a mussel can be determined by looking at annual rings on the shell! Like all mussels, the fragile papershell is rather sedentary, although may move with current or with the help of a host if water levels or conditions change. Mussels are ecological indicators, their presence in a body of water indicate good water quality. They can filter up to fifteen gallons of water a day; a six mile stretch of mussel bed can filter out over 25 tons of particulates per year. Currently there is intense research at Yale University, Stanford University and the NOAA (to name a few) about using mussels to clean fouled waters.
The Fragile Papershell is prayed on by muskrats, racoons, minks, otters, and some birds. Juvenile mussels are also fed upon by lake sturgeon, spotted suckers, redhorse and some other fish. There is a specific mite that feeds on mussel and can destroy about half of their gills. These natural predators are not the root cause of the radical diminishing population of freshwater mussels today. Construction of dams, regulation of river flows, and gravel mining, alter the river bottom habitat. Currently the building of and maintaining dams is a controversial issue. To build a dam one must get a permit, post public notices and it is overseen by the Army Corps of Engineers. Dam removal has in recent years been used as a tool to restore rivers while addressing the on-going problems of aging, and deteriorating, infrastructure. Of the 1,200 known dams in Vermont, many no longer serve a useful purpose and impose legal and financial burdens on their owners. In some cases, removal of these dams makes sense for economic, public safety, ecological or social reasons. The state has published a user’s guide to removed dams in Vermont.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

hug the ones you love
look people in the eyes when you ask how they're doing
wait for them to answer and listen
let someone who's hurting know that you're there for them
no~matter~what
love, love, love....
life is too fragile not to
This is a picture of a Ischnura posita on the South Tract of the Patuxent Research Refuge near Laurel, Maryland.
Found this lovely stand of birch trees whilst crossing the Applecross Peninsula.
They looked so fragile and delicate that I've decided to portray them like this, image softened with diffuse glow and then some selective dodging and burning to the desired result, finally a little desaturation to complete. I prefer this look rather than the straight shot.

Fragile Forktails are not that "fragile". They are quite the predators and this one was eating another teneral damsel. I'm quite glad I'm not damsel sized.....I might not last long!
J'ai appris hier qu'une de mes anciennes voisines est décédée d'un accident tragique. Elle a voulu se baigner dans un lac et l'hélice d'un cargo l'a aspirée et son fils a tout fait pour la sauver mais en vain elle a été déchiquetée par l'hélice. Son fils a subi un violent choc nerveux et de plus, il ne s'était jamais remis complètement de la mort de son père il y a environ 2 ans. Elle n'avait que 53 ans. Toutes mes pensées sont avec sa famille et en particulier avec son fils Pascal qui a perdu ses 2 parents. Je me rappelerai toujours de son sourire magnifique et de sa gentillesse.
I learnt yesterday that one of my ancient neighbour (53 years old) died of a tragic accident in a lake by bathing, she was inhaled by the helix of a cargo boat. Her son made everything to save her but in vain she was ripped by the cargo boat. All my thoughts are with her family but in particular with her son who lives this terrible event. I'll always remember her magnificent smile and her big kindness.
