..This is hard sand with a few rocks on the point...looking West over the Inltracoastal Waterway south of St. Augustine, Fl. The Atlantic Ocean is right behind me across a little strip about 100 yards wide...and this is the Inland Waterway which is parallel to the beach. This whole area is famous for HARD (but pretty) sand...they ran the Daytona 500 on the beach until the 1960s. The Inland Waterway actually runs all the way up the Atlantic Coast of the US..you can stay on it instead of open ocean for about 95% of the way from The Keys up to New England.
When I Leave (James Watkins)
When I leave,
I want to leave,
Like the sun-
Sailing on the horizon
When day is done,
Flung out in ardent array-
Setting in
Short, silent celebration-
Last light best-
Streaked and gloried
In colored simplicity-
Unspent, invisible-
Resting and waiting
To rise again
In eternal
Day-starred destiny
And explosive
Morning
White.

If you're not familiar with what a snow bike is, it's well, a motorcycle converted to travel on snow -- very fast! And at the end of winter, it can be changed back to a motorcycle. (Snow Bike Morgan Utah 2 DSC_6410.jpg)

One of two more photos taken of the Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat on my walk with Shauna on Sunday. Notice the new shoots coming up:)
"The Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat (HBBH) is an ecological restoration project that provides critical habitat for a variety of native butterfly species. Located along the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto’s west end, HBBH incorporates a diversity of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees, grasses, sedges and a variety of physical features known to support butterflies throughout all life cycles. The goal of HBBH is to establish a self-sustaining native plant community which will support a variety of butterfly species, while engaging and educating park users about the value of urban wildlife habitat."
Thanks for visiting it is a cold and slippery day in Toronto.
This is one of my favorite builds I have ever made. About a year ago I read the Harry Potter series for the first time and I knew right away that I wanted to build Hogwarts. I had remembered seeing this amazing model by Kit Bricksto and had wanted my own. So fully inspired, I created this.
I took extra care to make my model as accurate as possible at this scale. I referenced multiple different maps, charts and drawings. I then plotted the design and placement of the buildings and towers on graph paper, something I hadn't done before.

This is a panoramic drone photo of a haboob as it passed over the Franklin Mountains in El Paso, Texas. This haboob was generated by severe storms more than 100 miles to our east and it hit us with no warning. I just happened to spot it as it began to pour over the mountains and I was able to quickly get my drone airborne to capture the scene. We were blanketed by this dust cloud just a few minutes later.
Few days ago had reliased the third episode of Life is Strange 2. I really love this game and decided to build a little scene from it.
Het dorp is ontstaan op een terp en is zo van oorsprong een terpdorp. In de 13e eeuw werd het vermeld als Herbadingum, in 1400 als Heerbadigim, in 1417 als Herbaynghum, in 1433 als Herbadeghum en in 1505 als Herbaeyum. De plaatsnaam zou duiden op het feit dat de woonplaats (heem/um) van de familie Herbadinga.
In de 19e en vooral in de loop van de twintigste eeuw groeide het dorp. Ondanks dat de stad Franker steeds dichterbij is gekomen op het eind van de twintigste en begin 21ste eeuw is het anno 2019 nog een duidelijk vrij gelegen dorp.
De huidige kerk van Herbaijum is in de 19e eeuw zo herbouwd dat er weinig over is van de 13e-eeuwse kerk. Die kerk was aan Nicolaas van Myra gewijd.

Please note, this is not my photograph. It is my shot of a photograph in an art gallery in Oldham! A fantastic montage of photographs taken well over a hundred years ago. Worth the visit to this gallery for this alone, but all of the displays were good. I loved it, and will return. This panorama was about four yards long and a yard high. Brilliant! I love this section of the image. It shows the sewing machine factory, and a parade of coal wagons, some of which are from South Yorkshire (Silkstone), West Yorkshire (Flockton) and Derbyshire (Clay Cross). Wonderful!
I have tried and failed to find a person on these images. Is that because of the time of day, or a long time exposure on the photographs?

There is quite a difference in winter versus the warm months in observing the eating habits of pheasants. In the summer time unless you are out very early in the mornings or happen to catch them searching for bits of gravel to serve as grit to help their digestion, pheasants often are more hidden as they seek things to eat. They normally have a menu with more entries on it than they do during the winter.
The phrase “scratching out a living” goes all the way back to the 14th-15th centuries when in the older farming communities the farmers “scratched” the land using more primitive tools.
By the 18th-19th centuries, the use of the phrase gained uses beyond that of farming to include anyone who was barely making ends meet in their day to day struggle.
Jump ahead until today and the phrase applies to a broad spectrum of normally physically hard, low paying jobs or an unstable work life.
I grew up in an era when there were only a few government help agencies and can well remember my folks talking about people around them during the Depression and beyond who spent many years on community “poor farms”.
Poor farms were quite prevalent at one time in the US and folks who were unable to work due to age, disability or other factors were housed and fed in exchange for helping to produce food and maintain a farm. Local governments ran the farms as they were considered a cost-effective way to care for the needy rather than simply doling out monies to individuals.
It carried negative connotations for participants, particularly because they were labeled “inmates.”
Poor farms gradually petered out by the middle of last century with many in Minnesota closing in the 1930s due to government programs starting up such as Social Security in 1935 and the growing prevalence of nursing homes.

This is One of those Cliche shot, that almost Every Photographer takes. So I took the Liberty and ... here it is. Felt like Uploading.
Donna is making a comeback in January.
This is an old photo just edited.
Donna is Donni's real name but she's got an all new attitude and a new passion for fashion and a new look that will shock previous contestants in her first BNTM.
Just wanted to say she will be making a big comeback in January 2015.
This is a composite. The bug (wasp?) was buzzing around him while he was catching bugs in the pine tree. I'm not sure if he caught this one. I just like how they looked together like this.
A picture of a watch without anything else is at worst an image of someone else’s art and at best can be a showcase for the photographer’s expertise at exposure and composition. This image has more meaning to me than you may grasp at first glance so I’ll complete the story here. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a bit long so if you’d like to skip it ... that’s Okay. Just remember to enjoy Today.
The title may attract the attention of a few people already familiar with the acronym. More later ... I purchased the timepiece pictured some 50 or more years ago and it has always been a disappointment ... it still looks almost pristine! It’s promise was that it was self-winding, that is by some engineering magic once it was wound and put on my wrist it somehow was supposed to stay wound enough to keep “good time”. Well, here’s the basic truth; if I wind it up and let it lay on the shelf it will keep perfect time until it runs down in a couple of days. If put it on my wrist it will randomly stop for 5 or 10 minutes at a time from the first hour on ... making it functionally useless!
In the mid-80s after a life changing event I learned that I can only live One Day at a Time (ODaaT). I realized this independent worthless timepiece is in fact a constant reminder that I only have today ... yesterday is history and tomorrow is not yet in play.
It has no other numbers than today’s calendar number and day ... today ... if I keep it wound. My every attempt to use it for my purposes by wearing it ... my actions ... screws up it’s basic time keeping function so if I let go and let it do it’s thing on the shelf all works just fine. I’m some 16 years into retirement and I removed my “working” watch the day I retired ... I know where time is being kept and I can freely live TODAY. If you got this far Happy Macro Monday ... and enjoy today. HMM Everyone.
Like the name suggests, the spring harvestman (Rilaena triangularis) is an early species in the season. In Swedish it is called "tidiglocke" which lilterally means "early harvestman".
This one didn't get the memo though as this shot from fire-damaged pine in the Paradiset nature reserve was taken on the 22nd of June.
Sometimes it is VERY clear which road you have to go. Even though it is cold and misty... Just go!

This is a fairly heavily manipulated image. I started with a 20mp vertical image. I used Photoshop Superresolution to create a much bigger file (just to test it). I selectively darkened and lighten strips, increased global contrast a fair bit, added some distortion, and rotated the image 90 degrees clockwise. The title is a play on 3 Gorges Dam on Yangtze river

Op 30 november 2019 besloten Dewey en ik om de laatste DD-AR treinstellen te fotograferen op de spoorlijn tussen Almelo en Apeldoorn. Er werd in de ochtend vroeg naar Holten gegaan, hier konden we een DD-AR in fraai ochtendlicht fotograferen. Hierna werd er richting Notter gegaan. Vervolgens konden we bij de brug in Rijssen de 1732 en 1761 fotograferen. Hierna werd er snel naar Zenderen gereden voor een RFO trein. Deze trein had in Amersfoort een tijd aan de kant gestaan wegens een ongeval tussen Apeldoorn en Amersfoort.
Op de foto komt de trein langs het tweetal fotografen in Zenderen en is op weg naar Bad-Bentheim. De 1830 had uitzonderlijk ook nog zijn stroomafnemer tegen de draad. Na deze foto werd er nog richting Holten gegaan voor de allerlaatste DD-AR foto. We konden terugkijken op een zeer geslaagde Nez-Casé dag.

The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black coloration, but may be confused with the similarly coloured though unrelated Corizus hyoscyami (cinnamon bug, squash bug) (see comparison). Pyrrhocoris apterus is distributed throughout the Palaearctic from the Atlantic coast of Europe to northwest China. It has also been reported from the US, Central America and India. It has been reported as recently expanding its distribution northwards into mainland UK and eastward on to the coast of the Mediterranean sea. [3They are frequently observed to form aggregations, especially as immature forms, with from tens to perhaps a hundred individuals.
De vuurwants is een bontgekleurde soort die een overwegend helder rode kleur heeft met een karakteristiek patroon van zwarte lichaamsdelen en vlekken en hieraan is te herkennen. De wants komt in grote delen van Europa voor en is ook in België en Nederland te vinden. De wants is voornamelijk een planteneter die soms dode of levende insecten eet. De wants kan niet vliegen en is soms massaal aan te treffen bij lindebomen en andere favoriete voedselbronnen, vaak in bewoond gebied. Hij kan, in het nauw gedreven, steken en een onaangename geur verspreiden.
Omdat de wants algemeen voorkomt en eenvoudig in een laboratorium in leven is te houden, zijn er verschillende studies naar gedaan, zoals onderzoek naar de lange duur van de paring, de ontwikkeling van de vleugels en de tolerantie voor vorst.
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal."
Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland.
It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.
The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located in Carnoch.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping". In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named after a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation.

Varlaam monastery is seen in the foreground. Roussanou nunnery (convent) is seen to the right, in the background. Rock formations. Golden hour.
Meteora rocks constitute geologically unique rock formations. The site is included in UNESCO World Heritage list. Caves near Meteora were inhabited since 23,000 – 50,000 yrs ago (e.g. the stone wall at the entrance of Theopetra cave). Hermit monks lived here since 9th century AD. Monasteries were built on Meteora since 14th c. AD: Meteora hosts one of the most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries.

Serendipity is when you unexpectedly stumble across something good. And that is what happened yesterday when I was out walking on the moors with a friend and a Short-eared Owl popped up in front of us. Short-eared Owls usually breed on the Peak District Moors so I often see them in summer but they are pretty thin on the ground in winter. Most Short-eared Owls leave the higher ground to spend the winter in lowlands, especially around estuarine saltmarshes. Though the BTO Bird Atlas says that birds in the Uists, Orkneys and the Pennines appear to winter close to their breeding grounds, yet I rarely see them in winter. There was a bit of snow on the ground yesterday but not enough to hamper its hunting. We watched it for about five minutes, and it did appear to catch and eat something, then it slowly headed south and out of sight. I did manage some closer shots but I quite liked this one showing the winter moorland habitat.

Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km (16 mi) north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom. Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art."
The temple's modern name, Bantãy Srĕi—citadel of the women, or citadel of beauty—is probably related to the intricacy of the bas relief carvings found on the walls and the tiny dimensions of the buildings themselves. Some have speculated that it relates to the many devatas carved into the walls of the buildings. Apsaras, divine nymphs or celestial dancing girls, are characters from Indian mythology. Apsaras and devatas are ubiquitous at Angkor, but are most common in the foundations of the 12th century. Depictions of true (dancing) apsaras are found, for example, in the Hall of Dancers at Preah Khan, in the pillars that line the passageways through the outer gallery of the Bayon, and in the famous bas-relief of Angkor Watdepicting the churning of the Ocean of Milk.
Dvarapalas are human or demonic temple guardians, generally armed with lances and clubs. They are presented either as a stone statues or as relief carvings in the walls of temples and other buildings, generally close to entrances or passageways. Their function is to protect the temples. Dvarapalas may be seen, for example, at Preah Ko, Lolei, Banteay Srei, Preah Khanand Banteay Kdei. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banteay_Srei)
