What happened in Japan makes me aware again how fragile we are against nature...Our thoughts are with Japan...

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.

Life is crazy. It's weird that things can change so quickly and you can't do a single thing to change it. You just adjust and live a new day every day. It's weird to think about. My hands are looking nice and creepy
Probably one of the last dandelions of the season. I knew I had a reason for not killing those guys. :)
Realised today that I had yet to upload this after Stourbridge PS last DPI contest. Two image montage. The moon was shot with a 500mm Tamron mirror lens from my front lawn whilst the rest is a single shot taken with a D7000 and a Tamron 90mm macro lense at the biannual Ruskin glass exhibition of a glass bowl, the mist bands are the out of focus far edge of the bowl. The colours have been slightly altered

I love spring flowers and damselflies.....could not have been a more beautiful day on the river....this little Fragile Forktail was our only damselfly of the day.
For Self Portrait Challenge -- 'Upside Down'
First ttv Self Portrait I've tried. It wasn't too bad. I had to set the tlr on the floor and set up the D40 on a tripod facing straight down into the contraption. The remote did the rest.

Dave White is a contemporary British artist who dedicates his work to celebrating popular culture and interpreting emotive issues. He pioneered the ‘Sneaker Art’ movement in 2002, with the execution of pop art inspired sneaker oil portraits, leading to long-term collaborations with Nike and Brand Jordan.
“Reflecting a realistic vision from a distance, with an abstraction of expressive paint marks upon closer viewing, my work represents the fragile balance of order and chaos in the natural world and the impact that we are having on our environment. I hope that by inspiring generations of all ages with this project, it will be one small positive step to support Tusk in their vital work protecting endangered species. “

Teddy Cook is crying.
The cross-hatch of live electric fences in and around the camp made loved ones literally untouchable. The fences fatally divided families and lovers into subcamps between which communication was forbidden, and that cut off inmates from any previous relationship to the world beyond. And nor were these separative boundaries always material ones. Of a woman whose name had been written down at the previous selection on the list of those to be gassed, Nomberg-Przytyk writes: 'I did not talk to her, though she lay no more than an arm's length from me. I was ashamed that I was to live. At a later date, the period of death marches and extreme privation between Lucie Adelsberger's evacuation from Auschwitz and her liberation revealed to her that 'there is no saving face when caught up in the whirling dance of death, All inhibitions are cast aside.

I did not know him. He was 31 and married six months ago. He was commended. He died in the line of duty in a car chase, serving and protecting a relatively small community. Blue ribbons are everwhere.
Perhaps I am moved more often, more recently as I get older. I am 45. Standing with our two youngest children at the bus stop this morning, reality could not be more evident. Police vehicle upon police vehicle passed by to gather for the procession. A group of NYPD motorcycle policemen was among them.
It is not a new sentiment. I will take a few moments and think about what I do. Not knowing that a tomorrow is guaranteed, will I have left here with actions not taken, with thoughts not spoken and with lives not touched in a positive and lasting way? Or, will I act as if this could be the last time I see those special people in my life?
Postscript - Over 1,000 police were in attendance for the funeral procession. After investigation, it was determined his actions to swerve and avoid a van that pulled into his path with a mother and two sons most likely saved their lives...

每個人都總會有感到脆弱的時候，而它就好像埋藏在樹底的鐵盒內的信件般。
你不希望與別人分享，甚至是多麼渴望自己可以把那位置也忘記掉。
但它卻老是愛在你的腦海中出現來提醒你它的存在。
