This is a medium-large black bird, 68 to 78 cm (27 to 31 in) long and with a 95-to-110-centimetre (37 to 43 in) wingspan. It has a longish tail and yellow throat-patch. Adults have a small crest in the breeding season.
It is distinguished from the great cormorant by its smaller size, lighter build, thinner bill, and, in breeding adults, by the crest and metallic green-tinged sheen on the feathers. Among those differences are that a shag has a lighter, narrower beak; and the juvenile shag has darker underparts. The European shag's tail has 12 feathers, the great cormorant's 14 feathers. The green sheen on the feathers results in the alternative name green cormorant sometimes being given to the European shag.

To get an idea of just how bouncy tubing is, feel free to check out the video I also downloaded. I feel fortunate to have gotten a few good photos. A lot of them turned out blurry, since I was also bouncing around in the boat.

"October is here, once again,
barely transcending the threshold of autumn.
The maple is turning yellow to orange, to red,
soon to be bared by winter."

Here are three empty Jelly or Jam jars, except for the one I filled with Jelly Beans.
The jars are strangely crooked, to my eye. When I examined them, after the photoshoot, I discovered that they really ARE crooked... although the Jelly bean jam jar is ok; I just put the lid on crooked!
Anyway, that's J!
Things around here are getting more busy. I haven't taken a K photo yet. We'll see.
This is in the "spillway"at Brazos Bend. The spillway has little or no water much of the year, but rainy periods fill it with water. When there's water flowing, birds and other creatures come to feed.

Goodbye is the hardest word
because it bends the air around it,
a syllable that closes doors
and leaves echoes in the hall.
It is spoken at thresholds,
where journeys divide,
where silence waits to take its place.
Goodbye is heavy,
not with sound,
but with memory -
with laughter that will not return,
with futures that dissolve as it is spoken.
It is the hardest word
because it is both final and unfinished,
a single breath
that continues to linger
long after the lips fall silent.
Het is een prachtige voorjaarsdag die er toe uitnodigt om erop uit te trekken. Dat kan per bromfiets of automobiel. Maar ook de lokaalspoortrein biedt een mogelijkheid. Wismar-bus T1 is zelfs van bagagerekken voorzien. Daarop kunnen niet alleen melkbussen of kratten geplaats worden maar ook de meename van het rijwiel is een optie. De sleufvormige steunen op de horizontale profielbalk bieden de fiets extra steun tijdens de holperige rit.
Hoewel er een bagagekaartje gekocht moet worden, kan er een keuze gemaakt worden om met de fiets bij tegenwind van de trein gebruik te maken. Tijdens de terugreis kan er met de wind in de rug en eventueel een vers getapt biertje achter de kiezen voldaan en zonder al te veel inspanning heimwaarts gekeerd worden.

Johnny Thunder just found a big hole in the ground. Is it a tunnel where pirates hid their treasure? Is it a secret passage to ancient castle? Is it someone's home, sweet home? Very giant someone, probably dangerous...
Oh wow, I took this picture one year ago, and yesterday was the last visit to that area to took the things I forgot and/or left intentionally on the day of moving. *sigh* I loved this place, I wish I wouldn't put off some of my plans to explore the area more. Two and a half years and never found spare money for a hot chocolate in the cafe across the street?! Two and a half years, but I found the most beautiful route in the forest only when I already knew I have to leave?! Two and a half years, but never walked my PC Lego car on those beautiful pavements?! Two and a half years, and still no picture of my giant T-Rex with a fence, because I never had time?! Oh, come on, I am a dictionary definition of delayed life syndrome!
Anyway, I saw that hole in the forest. I think a mouse lives there, I hope it wasn't too stressed out because a curious human shined a flashlight in the hallway. xD Well, their tunnels are long and complicated, so it probably didn't even saw the light, but it probably heard my footsteps above.
I wanted to show Johnny's face, but the soil was too soft and it was tricky enough to place him and avoid falling down...
P.S.
IMPORTANT QUESTION -
Do you see my pictures in your activity feed or in the groups only? Or do you check my profile specifically (like I do with others)?
It seems there is an issue with my pictures in the feeds since July, I contacted the support and they did something, I need to know if the issue is resolved or is it still there. Thanks in advance!

Japanese Itoh hybrid peonies (intersectional peonies) are a cross between tree and herbaceous peonies, offering the best traits of both: large, 8-inch, long-lasting flowers (yellows, reds, pinks, corals) on strong, 3-foot shrubby stems that don't need staking. They are extremely cold-hardy, disease-resistant, and bloom for 3–4 weeks.
Coral Sunset Intersectional Itoh Peony .
A sunset in a flower! Aptly named for its awe-inspiring transformation from a radiant, vivid coral through a range of peaches, and finally, a creamy white colour, the flower is a masterpiece at every step of this sunset, and one might argue a bloom only improves with age. Unique from other coral varieties in that it opens with the most intense coral colour and has petals that are more ruffled, which perhaps contribute to a fuller appearance. Has a lower, more compact growing habit than Coral Charm. Mass plantings are recommended as flowers at different colour stages provide a visual riot in the landscape.
Side buds are possible, extending the bloom period. A favourite of the peony garden, this outstanding peony produces intense sunset coral, semi-double blossoms with rose overtones and a fluffy deep yellow stamens in the center. The lightly fragrant flowers are long lasting in fresh bouquets. ‘Coral Sunset’ blooms early in the peony season, around late spring in Ontario It is highly prized for its exemplary plant habit. and by florist as cut flower in bouquets.
Thank you all for the visit, kind remarks and invites, they are very much appreciated! 💝 I may reply to only a few comments due to my restricted time spent at the computer.

It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Montserrat is located less than an hours train ride from Barcelona and is the home of a Benedictine monastery. The quickest route to the monastery is via the cable car (Aeri de Montserrat) offering great mountain views which lasts around five minutes.
It is hard to capture the full depth of the cascades as one only get to view it from the top of the cliff down to the ravine. Making it looks flat at this angle.

Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse first built in 1599 for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays. Like the original, it is located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Southwark, London. The reconstruction was completed in 1997 and while concentrating on Shakespeare's work also hosts a variety of other theatrical productions. Part of the Globe's complex also hosts the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for smaller, indoor productions, in a setting which also recalls the period.

Having read the above article, it made me think about some pictures I took from the same date.
I thought the intense glow near the horizon was a bit strange at the time.
I have no idea though, could somebody please confirm?

I think it is interesting how power gets put together on a big old railroad. Somehow, a pair of leasor units have been paired together for the Cedar River Local for the past 2 weeks out of Waterloo. It's pretty neat to see a couple of old ex-Soo Line SD60's paired back together again. Here, the girls sit at the roundhouse at Waterloo over the weekend. The Cedar River doesn't work over the weekend much, so the power will sit for a day or so unless needed on M338 for a kicker unit.
These Soo SD60's were in the 1st 21 units order (6000-6020), which were delivered between between August and October 1987. This bunch was returned leased, and some spent time on the INRD. Now, power short CN has them.
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees belonging to the four o' clock family, Nyctaginaceae. They are native to Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and Argentina. There are between 4 and 22 species in the genus. Wikipedia /
Le bougainvillier est une plante grimpante emblématique du Midi ou de contrées où le soleil est roi
Sa floraison aux bractées très colorées rouge, bleue, violette, orange, jaune ou blanche est éblouissante de la fin du printemps jusqu’au début de l’automne
Gélif, il ne tolère la culture en pleine terre que dans les régions aux hivers doux toujours épargnées par le gel, ailleurs, il se cultivera dans un grand pot à remiser l’hiver
Il pousse au soleil dans n’importe quelle terre bien drainée
Facile à vivre, exubérant, il peut grimper à 8 mètres quand il se plaît bien et habillera un mur, une façade, une pergola ou se hissera dans une haie fleurie.
“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful.”
-F Scott Fitzgerald
We spent the weekend at Balls, a big experimental rocket launch event in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada - the same place where Burning Man takes place. We were quite busy in daytime preparing and launching rockets. It's time for leisure after 6pm. I thought, how about playing with the cracked mud of the playa? Downsized me looks funny, does it?
I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures (of the landscape), merged them selectively, then processed a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from two other RAW exposures (of me in the chair), merged them, then blended the two images to create this composite image, and carefully adjusted color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

MILANO:
The Biblioteca Ambrosiana is a historic library in Milan, Italy, also housing the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, the Ambrosian art gallery. Named after Ambrose, the patron saint of Milan, it was founded by Cardinal Federico Borromeo (1564–1631), whose agents scoured Western Europe and even Greece and Syria for books and manuscripts. Some major acquisitions of complete libraries were the manuscripts of the Benedictine monastery of Bobbio (1606) and the library of the Paduan Vincenzo Pinelli, whose more than 800 manuscripts filled 70 cases when they were sent to Milan and included the famous Iliad, the Ilia Picta.
Artwork at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana includes da Vinci's "Portrait of a Musician", Caravaggio's "Basket of Fruit", and Raphael's cartoon of "The School of Athens".

Happy Weekend, Everyone!
A place for inspiration... Beautiful Blur.
Life is like farming. You sew the seeds. You water and fertilize. You harvest long after everything is done properly with help of weather. Likewise career, family and relationship. You get the result after long time with patience,
How do you know it is time to harvest?
We have practiced photography for ten years, twenty years or even thirty years. How do we know it is time to harvest i,e, we can get good pictures now?
I passed by the farm on Steveston Highway and saw the harvest behind the fence.
Have a great Thanksgiving long weekend friends!

Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Is what safe?
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: I don't know what you mean. I can't tell you something's safe or not, unless I know specifically what you're talking about.
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Tell me what the "it" refers to.
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.

I went home today to spend Thanksgiving break with my family, and I realized just how much I've missed them over this past semester. They really are the most amazing people in the world and it's going to be so nice to just relax with them over this weekend.
I went on a photoshoot with my younger brother today and along with these, we took a few pictures of he and I that I will post probably tomorrow. He and I have so much fun together, and he's such a good kid. I've missed him a lot. :) Hmm...today was a good day.
P.S. Oh, and thank you all for your kind comments on the last picture I posted. Your words really mean so much to me, you have no idea. Thank you so much
