Archie at 7 months old and growing very fast indeed. Now weighing in at 3kg and soon to be separated from his assets at the vets - but don't tell him! Wishing all of my Flickr friends a fabulous weekend ahead - keep shooting!
I'm learning in many ways,
that it's alright- to not always be ;
Okay.

The growth in 'Rosa's Garden of Earthly Delights,' 2016 version, has begun in earnest. We have a light rain falling as I write this after having had a few days of heat (29 C) which Rosa tells me is ideal for her gardens which were seeded just 10 days ago. She has already harvested a few stalks of asparagus (these are coming into there own after having been planted 4 years ago) and the tulips, daffodils and crocuses abound.

VW verspricht für sein Topmodell einen Verbrauch von 7,2 Litern SuperPlus. Ein Wert, der in der Praxis aber deutlich überschritten wurde: Da lag der Verbrauch bei stattlichen 8,9 Litern.
I haven't been able to dive for the last couple weekends d/t high surt, but this Saturday I went to Honaunau Bay to check on my frogfish friend. It has grown bulkier and darker and has added a couple more brown spots. Visibility was awful and this was the only decent shot I got. I hope to continue documenting this fish as it grows.

Today's word over at Creativity Boot Camp is grow. I represented the word by choosing to do something that we are all trying to do-grow creatively. For me personally I have a tendency to get into everything. I scrapbook, crochet, quilt, garden, and now photography. I have been working on my still life throughout this project an area that I was feeling uncomfortable with-and after four day I am already starting to get more inspired creatively in this area and feel more comfortable.
Here is one the greenhouses, where they grow pineapple on the Azores.
It takes two years to grow a pineapple and different stages. You can see the blossom in red in the middle of the plant. So these plants need another six months to finally produce their fruit.
A Canada Goose leads her growing goslings through a marsh at Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Idaho. The young geese have lost their fuzzy yellow feathers and are changing to their adult pattern, including the typical white chinstrap.
This is the SS Rustbucket. A metal hulled boat abandoned early in 2020 on Coochiemudlo Island in Moreton Bay, greater Brisbane. (Redlands). Salvagers can make quite a good return removing these vessels officially once determined to be abandoned. There is even an Aussie TV show that features their work.
This plants in the lake have been thriving in the last few years, due to increasing water levels in the lake.
How do you find you are getting old? Not by viewing in the mirror. Instead you have to acknowledge you are getting old when the youngster in your family is going to college and the last time you met with him, he was still a toddler!
Growing old is good. Growing old is bad.
Have a great weekend!
Growing up, I caught fireflies. But now I know what I was catching was Glowing Click Beetles. Both are here, but the these Click Beetles are more common. Fireflies glow from the end of their abdomen while Glowing Click Beetles glow from two spots at the back of their head. You can tell the difference as they fly because fireflies flash and click beetles don't. We have several species of both here. This bioluminesence is used to communicate and find mates.
This shot isn't great, but I think it is the best I have done capturing the green glow. I have wanted to get a shot like this forever. They usually aren't holding still or don't keep glowing when I try to shoot them. I had to shoot with far lower shutter speed than I normally would have. Don't know how it managed to come out this good.
The spring is here and the first leaves make their appearance for this year.

Callie's fur is growing back where the groomer removed it. Each day I am brushing her with a special brush along with arrowroot powder. The groomer taught me that the powder will help to prevent the matting of fur caused by an elderly cat's lack of grooming as it will suck up any greases emitted by the body normally removed by grooming. It seems to be working.
"Arrowroot powder is a starchy substance that’s extracted from the root of a tropical plant known as Maranta arundinacea. When the arrowroot is harvested, it looks similar to other underground tubers such as cassava, yucca or kudzu, which are oblong in shape." Source "5 Things You Need to Know About Arrowroot Powder"
Yesterday was spent tilling up soil at the workplace for a new vegetable garden. I've been trying several years to grow veggies at home but been unsuccessful for a host of reasons. This year I had the bright idea of starting a veggie garden in a big field at work and for some reason the boss agreed with me.
Sadly, I wasn't very helpful with the tilling, just pulling some of the big rocks out of the way. The deeper we dug, the more rocks we found. My boss and Chris did most of the work. The boss' wife and I kept the kids entertained :-) Now, we are planning what to plant. I can't wait to get seeds started and put some starts in the ground! If we grow half of what we have in mind we'll be all set! Of course we're overplanning at this point. I just have to be sure and get edamame and spinach going because for all Chris' hard work he deserves something (and those are the only veggies he really eats!).
So *YAY* For work coop garden. I am sure you'll be hearing more about it soon :-)
Giraffatitan, meaning "giant giraffe", is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian–Tithonian stages). It was originally named as an African species of Brachiosaurus (B. brancai) but this has since been changed. Giraffatitan was for many decades known as the largest dinosaur but recent discoveries of several larger dinosaurs prove otherwise: giant titanosaurians (Argentinosaurus, Puertasaurus and Futalognkosaurus) appear to have surpassed Giraffatitan in terms of sheer mass also the sauropod dinosaur Sauroposeidon is estimated to be taller and possibly heavier than Giraffatitan.
All size estimates for Giraffatitan are based on the specimen HMN SII a subadult individual between 21.8–22.5 metres (72–74 ft) in length and about 12 meters (39 ft) tall. Mass estimates are varied from as little as 15 tonnes (17 short tons) to as much as 78.3 tonnes (86.3 short tons) but there is evidence supporting that these animals could grow larger HMN XV2, represented by a fibula 13% larger than the corresponding material on HMN SII which might have attained 26 metres (85 ft) in length or longer.
Giraffatitan brancai was first named and described by German paleontologist Werner Janensch in 1914 as Brachiosaurus brancai, based on several specimens recovered between 1909 and 1912 from the Tendaguru formation near Lindi, in what was then German East Africa, today Tanzania. It is known from five partial skeletons, including three skulls and numerous fragmentary remains including skull material, some limb bones, vertebrae and teeth. It lived from 145 to 150 million years ago, during the Kimmeridgian to Tithonian ages of the Late Jurassic period.
A famous specimen of Giraffatitan brancai mounted in Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin) is one of the largest, and in fact the tallest, mounted skeletons in the world, as certified by the Guinness Book of Records. Beginning in 1909, Werner Janensch found many additional G. brancai specimens in Tanzania, Africa, including some nearly complete skeletons, and used them to create the composite mounted skeleton seen today.
Come on, growww! I want green fields.

Two stapelias on my windowsill. They are both blooming at my home now :)
Stapelia is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Plants grow from 5 to 30 cm high, producing numerous shoots and forming clusters. Most Stapelia flowers are visibly hairy and generate the odor of rotten flesh when they bloom. Such odours serve to attract various specialist pollinators including, in the case of carrion-scented blooms, blow flies of the dipteran family Calliphoridae. They grow in well-drained soils in dry, usually rocky areas, between rocks and under bushes. A handful of species are commonly cultivated as pot plants and are even used as rockery plants in countries where the climate permits.

Moje domowe stapelie. Obie kwitną teraz na moim parapecie :)
Stapelia – rodzaj roślin należący do rodziny toinowatych, liczący około 39 gatunków pochodzących z południowej Afryki. Rośliny o wysokości od 5 do 30 cm, wytwarzające liczne pędy i tworzące skupiny. Roślina tworzy na młodych pędach, od jednego do dziesięciu pięciokrotnych, gwiazdokształtnych lub rzadziej dzwonkowatych, obupłciowych kwiatów, w odcieniach brązu, czerwieni, żółci lub fioletu. Kwiaty zapylane są przez muchówki w większości i wydzielają zapach podobny do zepsutego mięsa. Rosną na dobrze przepuszczalnych glebach na obszarach suchych, zazwyczaj kamienistych, między skałami i pod krzewami. Kilka gatunków jest powszechnie uprawianych jako rośliny doniczkowe, a nawet jako rośliny do ogródków skalnych w krajach, w których pozwala na to klimat.
At a protest in support of Ukraine, in London.
The first time I heard this phrase - or a starker version of it - was when an elderly Ukrainian woman confronted a Russian soldier and told him to put sunflower seeds in his pockets, so that flowers would grow from his dead body. A chillingly simple message.
