Snoekkruid is een plant die de overgang tussen land en water markeert. Op 'droog' land en in het water voelt het zich niet thuis. Juist daar tussenin, in een moerasachtige situatie: des te beter. De bakermat van deze schitterend bloeiende moerasbewoner ligt in Centraal-, Midden- en Noord-Amerika.

Pontederia cordata groeit op de overgang van droog naar nat en bloeit met diepblauwe bloemen

Groei en bloei
Snoekkruid (synoniem: moerashyacint) kan wel 50 - 80 cm hoog worden als de bodem uit een luchtig, lemig mengsel met zand en veen bestaat. De bladeren worden op zich al 20 - 25 cm groot en staan op stengels. Het blad is spits hartvormig en glimmend groen.

Uno scatto panoramico dalla vetta della Sighignola, una cima al confine tra Italia e Svizzera.
In primo piano le luci dei paesi svizzeri che si affacciano sul lago di Lugano (molto riconoscibile l'abitato di Melide, di forma triangolare): in lontananza le luci della pianura piemontese e sullo sfondo l'inconfondibile sagoma del Monviso.

A panoramic shot from the summit of Sighignola, a peak on the border between Italy and Switzerland.
In the foreground the lights of the Swiss towns overlooking Lake Lugano (the triangular-shaped town of Melide is very recognisable) : in the distance the lights of the Piedmont plain (Italy) and in the background the unmistakable silhouette of mountain Monviso.

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.

Update April 02, 2025. Now I only accept group invitation that allows all media types including VIDEOS.
Waar België lange tijd bekend stond om het buurland met weinig verschillende private ondernemingen op het spoor, is daar het laatste jaar veel verandering in gekomen. Onder andere Medway en TCA Rail zijn met hun containertreinen nieuwe gezichten over de Belgische spoorwegen, maar misschien nog leuker is Certus Rail Solutions, een dochter van het in Nederland bekende Strukton Rail. Certus trapte in het voorjaar van 2023 af, en niet met de minste locomotieven, maar zowaar twee HLE27's, te weten de 2707 en 2731 welke beiden van een opvallende huiskleurstelling zijn voorzien. Al een tijdje hoopte ik dat er eens HLE21/27 locomotieven bij een private onderneming zouden belandden, en dat was dan eindelijk gebeurd. Net zoals het Nederlandse Strukton zal Certus zich eigenlijk enkel bezighouden met het rijden van infra gerelateerde treinen zoals machine-overbrengingen of ballasttreinen, welke ook eigenlijk bijna altijd de moeite waard zijn. Aangezien Strukton en Certus veelvuldig samenwerken, vinden er regelmatig grensoverschrijdende ritten plaats via Roosendaal, waarbij Strukton vanuit Nederland, of Certus vanuit België een trein aanbrengt, en deze vervolgens door de andere partij wordt overgenomen.
Zaterdag 9 september stond er weer zo'n overbrenging op het programma. De BAM Unimat 205, Strukton Unimat 9, een tweetal BAM Gottwald kranen en een BAM containertje moesten vanuit Nederland richting Gent Zeehaven gebracht worden, wat natuurlijk weer een perfecte klus was voor Certus op Belgisch grondgebied. Zodoende was het deze dag weer eens mogelijk om een HLE27 op Nederlands grondgebied te vereeuwigen. Iets wat een dag eerder ook al gelukt was met de komst van de NMBS 2715, welke recent in de "New Look Livery" gespoten is. Een jaar geleden werd je nog voor gek verklaard als je hoopte dat er ooit nog eens een HLE27 naar Roosendaal zou sporen, maar vandaag de dag hoort het weer bij het normale spoorbeeld in Roosendaal en Nispen. Zo gaat de spoorstad Roosendaal toch weer een glansrijker tijdperk in!
Nadat de avond van tevoren een avondje café in Kapellen werd gehouden, moest er zaterdagochtend natuurlijk wel eerst uitgeslapen worden. Terwijl half hobbyend Nederland zich aan de Brabantroute had genesteld rond America voor een aantal fraaie treinen, rolden wij pas tegen 11 uur ons bed uit. Maar dat mocht ook wel, want naar mijn mening zouden we een veel leuker treintje gaan fotograferen. Het vertrek vanuit Roosendaal was voorzien tegen 12:15, maar ervaring leert dat het de normaalste zaak van de wereld is om ongeveer een twintigtal minuten eerder te vertrekken. Er werd dan ook geen risico genomen en tegen 11:45 arriveerden we dan aan de Maststraat bij de voorlaatste overweg voor de grensovergang. In het heerlijke najaarszonnetje kon dan het korte wachten beginnen, want onze vermoedens werden al snel bevestigd. Nog voor 12:00 zagen we in de verte een donkerrode neus opdoemen op het ellenlange rechte stuk tussen Roosendaal en Nispen. Nog net op tijd arriveerden een tweetal fotografen vooraleer de overwegbellen begonnen te rinkelen. Show time!
Het is 12:03 als de zeer fraaie Certus 2731 het viertal fotografen passeert te Nispen met infratrein 47669 vanuit Roosendaal naar Gent-Zeehaven. Nadat dan eindelijk een HLE27 onder private vlag in de collectie toegevoegd kon worden, werd er snel ingepakt en vertrokken richting Heukelom. Er stond namelijk nog een jubileumsrit van KombiRail op het programma welke we ook nog wel even konden fotograferen!
Yes, it is little spoonbills! Not sure how old they are, but I would guess less than a week. I was here at Lake MacIntyre around 6 weeks ago and they were only building the nests then. Lovely to see these little guys!
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Yes it is.
Things in my life are falling right into place, and I could not ask for more.
Graduation is coming up ( after 5 long years in college I am more than ready for it to be over) then, shortly after, I will be getting married, and along with moving into a new house and getting a photography business started.. things are looking grand.
This image is from an engagement shoot. My friend and I are starting a wedding photography business, and it is going better than we would have ever invisioned.
Check out www.simplybloomphotography.com (there, you can find are more samples from this shoot as well)
And lastly, THANKS to all the avid followers and supporters of my stream, you guys make it all worthwhile!

It seems to have been a difficult week for Flickr, but this morning at least explore seems to be back.
After my last image bombing i thought I would dip my toe again with this shot from a recent trip out.
Sunday is my Sunset day, the reason for that I don't have to worry getting up early, Monday is my day off,
All day there was not a cloud in the sky, when I got to the beach all sort of patterns started to develop,
Yes Timing is definitely everything!

Or more or less... the same?
We were lucky enough to catch a burst of warm sunlight around evening time on a cloudy day, that lit up the bright yellow of the rapeseed, producing this beautiful contrast of warm yellow and cool blue.
Tried a number of compositions using the same elements, but in the end liked this sweeping, fairly minimalist shot, as it captured the flavour of the location and time the best - relatively flat, open countryside, with broad, sweeping sky, and cool, though bright conditions.

This snipe is hunting for food by poking his beak into the mud. It just finished poking on the right side of that clump of stuff right under its beak and now it is taking a step to poke on the other side. The snipes need those rather long beaks because they are often poking deep up to their face.

Some of you may have met Gertie before. She is an Australian Galah, one of a number that visit us most days for some wild bird seed (including sometimes a little extra treat of sunflower seeds).
She is the dearest of birds, nearly tame as she may have been someone's pet and while she won't quite eat from our hand, she will allow us to get right beside her, even face to face. She comes right up to our back door and looks in. Sometimes she comes in the morning and sometimes the late afternoon and she usually has the knack of coming when the pigeons are off somewhere else. Just as well, as she takes her time eating and can be there over an hour.
We only put the seed out when our bird visitors arrive or the pigeons devour it within minutes.
Gertie's full name is Dirty Gertie as the first few times she came with mud all over her beak from grubbing around in the mud and a totally dishevelled appearance. And she usually waddles over and eats off a large ceramic plate we lay out for her on the ground, not the table with a small lid as here.
We know one day she will fly off and never come back and we will be the poorer for her going and the richer for the blessing of her visits.
Padstow is a delightful little town on the western side of the beautiful Camel estuary in North Cornwall, a mile or so from the sea. The inner harbour is very picturesque, while the outer harbour is very much the working part. Although the town receives most of its income from the tourist trade there is still a small fishing fleet that operates from here.

The patch of light pollution comes from Portree to the north, not helped by a wee bit of low cloud. Will need to come back on the next clear night (sadly rare here) and try to point south when Orion makes its appearance.
Whenever I see light pollution on the horizon, I can't help but remember the 1953 film Invaders from Mars, when young David sees a glowing spaceship from his bedroom window, landing behind a hill at night not far from his house.
