HOUSE CATS HAVE MORE IMPACT ON LOCAL WILDLIFE THAN WILD PREDATORS !!!
===================
A tracking study of 900 house cats shows that when they kill small birds and mammals, their impact is concentrated in a small area, having a bigger effect than that of wild predators.

THANK YOU for your visit, friendship, and any comments, please don't fave and run.
Stay safe and well, God bless

Arrowe Brook
After the heavy rain yesterday the brook was flowing quite heavily. Arrowe Park looking great in early Autumn!
I made a MOC! I love it. Creds to neighborhood bricks for the wall design. Vikrainian soldier in a trench battling against Germainians.
By the sacred grove, where the waters flow
We will come and go, in the forest
In the summer rain, we will meet again
We will learn the code of the ancient ones
In the forest
By the waterfall, I will hold you in my arms
We will meet again by the leafy glade
In the shade of the forest
With your long robes on, we will surely roam
By the ancient roads, I will take you home
To the forest
In the forest, in the forest
In the forest, in the forest
With your long robes on, we will surely roam
By the ancient roads, I will take you home again
To the forest
Satisfy the soul baby
Birds sing all day long of the mother lode
We can let it roll, in the forest
With your long robes on
I know where you're coming from
By the big oak tree you've gotta come and go with me
In the forest, in the forest
In the forest, in the forest
By the waterfall
I will hold you in my arms, and we will meet again
By the leafy shade, in the, in the forest
Satisfy the soul
Birds sing all day long of the mother lode
We can surely let it roll, in the forest
With your long robes on
I know where you're coming from
We will surely roam, down by the ancient roads ,by Van Morrison
In September 1958, The Public Establishment for Installation of La Défense (EPAD) buildings (of which the Esso Tower was the very first) were built and began to slowly replace the city's factories, shanties, and even a few farms.

In the small town of Wülfrath in the heart of the Bergisches Land region, there is an unusual attraction: artificial sheep. However, these sheep are not the usual animals you see in the fields. They are made of fiberglass and were designed by local artists.
The idea came about in 2007 as part of the "Art and Sheep" art project. The organizers wanted to bring art into public spaces, using the theme of sheep as a symbol of the region and its rural environment.
Twelve artists from Wülfrath and the surrounding area were each asked to design an empty sheep according to their own ideas. The results were so impressive that the sheep quickly became the town's trademark.
Each sheep has its own character and its own story. For example, there is the sheep "Flocke", which looks like a fairy tale character with its woolly fur and golden horns. Or the sheep "Rudi", which was decorated with graffiti elements by an artist and is now emblazoned on the wall of a parking garage.
There are now over 30 artistic sheep in Wülfrath, which can be seen in various places around the city. Some stand in front of stores or restaurants, others in parks or public squares.
The sheep not only have an aesthetic function, but also contribute to the city's identity and sense of community. They have become a popular photo motif and provide but not only a tourist highlight. They also have a social function. Some sheep were designed by young people, who thus had the opportunity to live out their creativity and identify with their hometown.
All in all, the art project "Art and Sheep" is an example of how art in public spaces can strengthen the identity of a city and promote a sense of community. The art sheep have made Wülfrath a distinctive place and bear witness to the creativity and wealth of ideas of the people in the region.

Built in 1931, the lighthouse continues the use of a fifth order Fresnel lens that was first used in 1891, in the original lighthouse. The foreground pale brown is due to the shallow but rough water, kicking up sand, while the deep blue is deeper water.

I hadn't photographed this species in years.
J'étais bien content de pouvoir le photographier celui-là. Ça faisait des années que je n'en avais vu.
Quebec, Canada
My zoom lense was very busy as I watched this New Holland honeyeater fly around the Callistemon bush and drink from the flowers. Many shots were taken but few made the cut, such as this one.
St. Joseph's, Devine Street, Columbia, SC
Most of the shots I posted this weekend looked skyward, or at least featured the sky. It's been so beautiful with fluffy clouds and October blue. But I also shot a few toward the ground. These tiny tiny things were scattered among black-eyed susans and echinacea that skirted St. Joseph's on Devine Street.
in second life u can do what u want and when u want..
- go where u want... and see all this beautifull land ... meet pp who live from the other side of the planet and talk with him ... that is extraordinary ... why pp dont see where the beauty is?
A white Christmas would be wonderful, of course. But we've only had one (across the board) six times in the last 120 years. So there's no point in getting upset about it.
If there's no snow, then at least some sunshine would be nice. Unfortunately, it's been gray and foggy for days (at least here where I am). So, sunshine is probably out of the question.
Luckily, there's still the sunshine in my heart, which I hope to tap into with this photo and activate when needed.
Happiness, and the feeling of happiness, isn't dependent on chance or external circumstances. It's a conscious decision that strongly depends on how I evaluate a situation, where I direct my attention, and, of course, on my general outlook on life.
With that in mind, on this penultimate Monday flower greeting of the year, I wish you a large dose of sunshine in your heart and thus a sunny and joyful week.
And this is regardless of the weather.
Eine weiße Weihnacht wäre natürlich richtig toll. Doch hatten wir diese (flächendeckend) gerade einmal 6 Mal in den letzten 120 Jahren. Es lohnt sich also nicht, sich darüber zu ärgern.
Wenn schon kein Schnee da ist, dann wäre doch wenigstens Sonnenschein schön. Leider sieht es (zumindest hier bei mir) seit Tagen grau und neblig aus. Das mit der Sonne wird dann wohl auch eher schwierig.
Zum Glück gibt es noch die Sonne im Herzen, die ich mit diesem Foto ansprechen und bei Bedarf aktivieren möchte.
Glück und auch das Glücksgefühl ist nicht von Zufällen und Rahmenbedingungen abhängig. Es ist eine bewusste Entscheidung die stark davon abhängt, wie ich eine Situation bewerte, wo ich meine Aufmerksamkeit hin lenke und natürlich wie meine generelle Einstellung zum Leben aussieht.
In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch am vorletzten montäglichen Blumengruß das Jahres eine große Portion Sonne im Herzen und damit eine sonnige und fröhliche Woche.
Und dies unabhängig von meteorologischen Rahmenbedingungen.
After a cold long walk, this morning, it was nice to return home, make a warm mug of coffee and have a seat at the kitchen island!

Sandhill Crane.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles are browner and have no red on head. Their plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska to the Hudson Bay and south into western Ontario. There are isolated populations in: the Rocky Mountains, the northern prairies, the Great Lakes, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida.
Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
In North America, Barn Swallows are spring time arrivals from their South American winter. Although their flight acrobatics are extraordinary, their colours and markings are equally noteworthy. From Cornell: "The Barn Swallow is the most abundant and widely distributed swallow species in the world. It breeds throughout the Northern Hemisphere and winters in much of the Southern Hemisphere." www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barn_Swallow/overview
Bald eagle in action over the Susquehanna River in the morning sunlight. If you looking along the far shoreline in the bokeh you can make out a bunch of eagles there too. This time of year the numbers of eagles there goes up exponentially as the food source increases with shad coming down the river.

WHEN SWEET CORN IS RIPE….
THE HARVEST IS IN... then, you know it is Autumn… here in Northern Europe at least.
All Summer you see the fields getting higher.
Silk is the name for the pistillate flowers, which emerge from the husk.
The fruit of the sweet corn plant is the corn kernel, a type of fruit called a caryopsis.
The ear is a collection of kernels on the cob.
Because corn is a monocot, there is always an even number of rows of kernels.
The ear is covered by tightly wrapped leaves called the husk.
Sweet corn occurs as a spontaneous mutation in field corn and was grown by several Native American tribes.
The Iroquois gave the first recorded sweet corn (called 'Papoon') to European settlers in 1779.
It soon became a popular food all over.
Another personal favourite, cannot say exactly why...
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)
