My car was in for a service this morning, so went for a walkabout, and was stunned to find this species!! I thought it'd be some time before I found one myself! Light was dismal unfortunately, but at least I found one!!

Best to view large to see all four....and a fifth was ready to jump but he couldn't find a spare perch.
There's one moment each day out here that demands attention. One small, insignificant second that insists that you respond. You drop what you are doing, and walk to it. Wait for it. Let it do to you what it's gonna do. I'm a cynic, yeah. But even a cynic gets changed if he's here long enough, out on The Mother Road.
How much longer do I have on earth?
16:52 a numeric that represents 16hrs and 52 mins has left us
Numbers numbers, everywhere I go I see them.
No other number is more important than the number that is represented on the clock.
Bank Account number?
Money in your Bank?
Numbers of these are insignificant than the numeric time on the Clock.
Time is precious when we are on our death bed.
Time is precious when we are rushing for it
Time is unable to be reversed
Time is unable to be purchased or exchanged by any humanly items
Time is not money
Time is more significant than money
Time is LIFE.
LIFE is TIME.
And it is counting down, represented by a round object…whispering to us….hey dude ‘I am taking 1 Second away from your LIFE’.

Also with the scientic name of Tragopogon pratensis
Just an insignificant weed to most viewers, but look at it close up and it is a beauty.
After pollination it then rewards you with a very photogenic seedhead about 50% larger than that shown by a dandelion.

The whole experience of the ascense and descense, breathing,contemplating, learning and sharing with nice people was wonderful and unique. It was so evident the man’s footprint everywhere. The volcano was almost without snow, too dry. Since the beginning, the first camping area was full of garbage and meanwhile we were walking up in the whole way there was plastic, in some spots and rocks still more garbage and unburied toilet paper. We looked so insignificant between all that amazing mountains but at the same time we’re so significant each one of us because we ‘re leaving a huge impact on each step that we make.
You can actually swim in the lakes at Krka, which is strictly forbidden at Plitvice. Water is very cold....(Though they do keep you from swimming under the waterfalls)
The Krka National Park is located entirely within the territory of Šibenik-Knin County and encompasses an area of 109 square kilometers along the Krka River: two kilometers downriver from Knin to Skradin and the lower part of the river Čikola. The Krka National Park is a spacious, largely unchanged region of exceptional and multifaceted natural value, and includes one or more preserved or insignificantly altered ecosystems. The Krka Waterfalls has the second highest concentration of lavender per km squared in Europe, hence the high frequency of wasps and bees in the area.
It is the seventh national park in Croatia and was proclaimed a national park in 1985.
i believe in everyone's life, we will each eventually, whether it is just once or many many times, all fall and fall hard on everything:
all our self taught lies, and all our false faces that we have tried so desperately to out run.
i believe that everything we have worked for will become absolutely insignificant in that moment, as we lay stricken on the floor, and we will begin to question ourselves for the first time.
it is only after we gnash our teeth, howl, fight and sob, that we will become completely exhausted and broken.
like a child.
and then we will, one by one, cleanse ourselves of ourselves.
i am there and it hurts.
inspired by one of my favorite photographs of mine.
I love how insignificant the little white house in centre frame appears in the grand landscape of the Nant Ffrancon Valley below Cwm Idwal, Eryri (Snowdonia) NP

I'm happy to participate in this action, which I hope influences decisions at Yahoo as to Flickr's future. I do not like having the right-hand column as a distraction from the photo itself, and I do not like that comments and groups are treated in such an insignificant way. Reading in reversed-out type on black is difficult! Finally, I want to be able to choose to see photos as thumbnails of different sizes rather than only the justified display, which loads so slowly.
Please join in the conversation and also SIGN THE PETITION below:

It's interesting how quickly we flip from being the dominant life-form on Earth to being utterly insignificant, meaningless and absurdly vulnerable as soon as we leave our natural environment.
Since Autumn is beginning to wash over the country bringing the promise of dark, frosty nights and the stirrings of Christmas planning, I thought I'd better carry on posting photos from my early August trip to Hornsea, a small seaside town on the East Yorkshire coast. Hope you continue to enjoy Day Three...
The New Flickr Photo Page: Welcome to the Twilight Zone
Flickr’s new photo page has become a dark and dreary world: It has no light or life; It’s completely black. White space is nonexistent. We have gone from bad to worse, from light to darkness, from bright to dark, from cheerful to dreary. Flickr keeps insisting on eliminating white spaces from the website. Light, so essential to photography, is almost totally absent on the new photo page. It seems that the designers of these pages, ignoring the importance of white space and good design, have turned the photo page into nightmarish black hole that one even hesitates to enter. There is enough darkness in life and in the world to have Flickr turned the photo page into a twilight zone. All text is reverse now and difficult to read. Comments seem like an insignificant appendix on a side bar. There’s nothing under the photo. No up and down movement, only on the sidebar.
My biggest complaint is about the black with reverse text. This is not reader friendly at all. It may be great for designing websites with little text, but on Flickr there is a lot of commenting and reading going on all the time. This page design is probably the aborted child of a nonreader (the legions today allergic to books), because a reader would never design a page so anti reading and unpleasant to the eye as this one. Who wants to read and write on a black page with text in reverse? Now if you want to write more than one or two lines, who is going to stay on your page long enough to read it on a black sidebar on the right side of the photo page that minimizes the importance of comments? With the new page design we have one more reason not to comment and to spend even less time on Flickr.
Flickr seems to be autodestructing because they don’t listen to reason. Wisdom is in the counsel of many. They would not listen, even though a Flickr team member, Satish Mummareddy, said that they “have incorporated a lot of the feedback you have been sharing with us and we believe that Flickr’s experience is ready to be the default experience for everyone” . Well, I’m not sure that they really pay that much attention to what we have to say.
The buddy icon now is a port hole. We are all in the same dark and dreary ship, looking out, not through a large panoramic window, but through a tiny port hole. That port hole represents the whole experience on the new Flickr photo page. This new design is so claustrophobic and prison like that it serves to make us feel more isolated and distant from our contacts and the rest of Flickr, not closer and more in touch. Where is the improvement here? I want to know. Speed? Fine, we needed that, but not at the expense of functionality, user friendliness and a really appealing to the eye photo page.
Marissa Mayer said: “We want to make Flickr awesome again”. Well, the new photo page is certainly not the way to accomplish that goal.
I always find astrophotography refreshing - a good reminder of how insignificant we truly are, and that we shouldn't take minutia too seriously.

Freight trains may be the main objective for trainspotters' presence between Divača and the slovenian seaside city Koper. However, there's a insignificant number of passenger services.
Due to reduced availability of Pendolino vehicles, the ICS 35 Maribor - Koper was replaced by 4 standard coaches hauled by a class 363.
--
Während man auf der Koperrampe nicht besonders lange auf den nächsten Güterzug warten muss, zeigt sich das Angebot der Reisezüge um einiges spärlicher. Eines der zwei derzeit verkerenden Zugpaare ist der ICS 35/34, der statt eines Pendolinos als Wagengarnitur des Weges kam.
Little glass ends of fairy lights might seem insignificant, but can transform and brighten the atmosphere and ambience to something magical.
capturing a butterfly
with a camera
makes a great metaphor
for freezing fleeting bursts
of magical moments
each flitter is a unique gesture
which passes in an instant
each flutter is a singular motion
which never comes back
Looking through my viewfinder while trying to capture this butterfly reminded me how important it is to live in the moment. It doesn’t matter how simple or insignificant that moment might seem to be. I know that within it lie incredible wonders, but which only my heart can see.
Over the moon to finally find my own on Sunday!! Hopefully the first of many!

You almost need a magnifying glass to see the one climber on Devils Tower. Hint... (S)he's only about 1/5 of the way up, in the crack above the tree that's in the photo's center. There's a note to help find the climber, and enlarging the photo shows there might be two of them. Considering this rock is 867' tall, there's a lot of tower still to climb!
Seen from the visitor center at Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming.
The wind whipping across the valley sculpts the snow whenever it meets a barrier, even a few insignificant fence posts.

Upstairs in her wardrobes the gowns and dresses purred on their hangers like the drowsing inmates of some exquisite arboreal zoo.
(From: Passport To Eternity, In: The Complete Short Stories, Vol. 1, by JG Ballard, 2001).
We make landfall by first light of dawn. The incessant howling by creature unknown has kept us awake throughout much of the night. The savage shore greets us with swarms of mosquitoes, bats, and a cacophony of growling monkeys with red bottoms. The prehistoric monsters we observed last night, on closer inspection, are strange rock formations covered in passive aggressive oysters.
We enter the jungle. Jack takes the lead with his elephant rifle. We sink into the endless greenery of the jungle. We are insignificant ants on a trail. The jungle teems with frightful noises. We hack away at the greenery with our machetes. We are all on guard. It feels like a thousand eyes are following our every move.
Nearing the top of a small hill we spot motion. We freeze in horror. A ghostly red dress hangs from a tree, swaying in the early morning breeze. Imperial red. Headless imperial red. No feet either. Purring in the tree.
We run down the hill screaming in terror.

Mostly don't have comment box, really want to save everyone's time.
Of course, finally give a some photo by comment box, please continue to support Aberlin. Thanks a lot.
This is my first time so observed, very excited to have this wonderful opportunity,please believe Aber will keep the best safe distance.(Broken shell and day 2)
Wish I going with you together and touch nature and ecological protection,
( I know you should be better than me, but you and I strength is insignificant, we live and we learn.)
Need to tell a key point with all Flickr fans,
Whether for a contact or not, when you have comment to me, absolutely will must reply, but could be and delay.
If you just added to favorites, perhaps I'm ignored, anyway in principle, should be well to give attention to comments friends, am I right?
All best wish,
Aber
Dawn in the middle of nowhere. Places like this always make me feel so small and insignificant. That sounds like a simple concept, but in reality, it's not easy to fully understand until you really see how big a place can be.

A single house seemingly cowering among trees under a large and busy sky looks small and insignificant. Rain coming and going all day - humbling and perfect.
At the Waimea Inlet near Nelson, South Island, New Zealand.
When things trouble me I head to the mountains were I can get above my problems and realize just how small and insignificant all the politics and immorality of man is less than a speck of dust that can easily be blown away.
Unable to sleep:
Last night I arrived in the mountains at 4am and watched the meteor shower which was absolutely fantastic. I fell asleep and woke just before sunrise and had to take this view.

My dad was fond of this expression....about as big as a bee's knee!
"Late in the 18th century the idiom ‘the bee’s knees’ meant that something was small and insignificant, but by the Roaring 20s it meant a highly admired person"

A pond, shrouded in mist, with trees on the bank.
I shot this for the mist and the atmosphere of peace and calm. I also liked the rather insignificant chair that stands reflected on the shore.
... in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

~ Irish Blessing ~
May the blessing of light be upon you, light on the outside, light on the inside
With God's sunlight shining on you, may your heart glow with
warmth like a turf fire that welcomes friends and strangers alike.
May the light of the Lord shine from your eyes
like a candle in the window welcoming the weary traveller.
May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you,
falling gently on your head refreshing your soul with
the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of heaven bless you,
carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean, sparkling after, in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God's earth be on you, and as you walk the roads,
may you always have a kind word for those you meet.
May you understand the strength and power of God in a thunderstorm in winter
and the quiet beauty of creation in the calm of a summer sunset
and may you come to realize that insignificant as you may seem in this great universe,
you are an important part of God's plan.
May He watch over you and keep you safe from harm.
After last fall, I've decided that life is too short for insignificant hesitating, and I made few of my biggest dreams come true.
One of them was to visit Paris.

this website is so insignificant compared to everything that is going on in my life.
I will probably be on here sparingly.

Best Praise and Worship Music"All Creation Must Come Under God’s Dominion" | How Great Is Our God
Introduction
2019 Praise and Worship Song "All Creation Must Come Under God’s Dominion" | How Great Is Our God | Filipino Song
God created all things,
and so He makes all creation
come under His rule,
and submit to His dominion.
He commands all things,
controlling them in His hands.
Living things, mountains,
rivers and man must all come under His rule.
Things in the skies and on the earth
must all come under His dominion.
All must submit, without any choice.
This is God’s decree and His authority.
God created all things,
and so He makes all creation
come under His rule,
and submit to His dominion.
Everything is commanded by God.
He orders and ranks all things,
each classed according to kind
and by God’s will allotted their positioning.
Things in the skies and on the earth
must all come under His dominion.
All must submit, without any choice.
This is God’s decree and His authority.
No matter how great a thing is,
it will never be able to surpass God.
All things serve God-created mankind,
none dare defy
or make demands of God.
Man, a creature of God,
must also keep his duty.
Whether the master or ruler of all things,
however high his status,
a small human
under God’s rule he still is.
An insignificant human being,
a creature of God, never will he be above God.
