The Lauteraarhorn is a peak (4,042 m) of the Aarmassif in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. It lies close to the Schreckhorn (to the north) and the Finsteraarhorn (to the south). At the foot of the Lauteraarhorn lie the Lauteraar and the Finsteraar Glaciers, tributaries of the Unteraar Glacier.

... ist ja auch irgendwie beruhigend!
Ich habe zunächst den dunklen Fleck in der weißen Blüte als fehlendes Stück im Blütenblatt interpretiert - erst beim Einzoomen habe ich die Stelle als Antheren der Staubblätter erkannt.

A child is........
A butterfly in the wind,
Some can fly higher than others;
but each one flies the best it can.
Why compare one against the other?
Each one is different!
Each one is special!
Each one is beautiful!
he is one who is prematurely disappointed in the future :-)

... looking through my archives.
As I have been a photographer pro for 25 years now, so I have quite a collection. And seeing some them back, it is like meeting an old friend again, I am immediately transported into another time, another place, I relieve some special moments, milestones in my life.
I sigh over lost souls and smile over others.
Yes, I relive the versatility and magic through seeing my photo's.
Here: THE MERCATOR, AT SEA, AT LAST
... I photographed her voyage from her birthplace in centre of town, all through her passage through the harbour channel.
Running alongside her.
At last, she's at sea, late, the sun is going, the mist and night coming... she's been escorted by smaller boats as salute.
I photograph her for as long as I can...
THANk you, M, (*_*)

I posted this image a couple of years ago, but thought I'd post it again, as it is so applicable right now. BC is in a state of emergency, with so many wildfires, and tens of thousands of people evacuated. My heart goes out to the many, many people have lost their homes and businesses. Travel has been restricted to anywhere in the Okanagan, which is where everyone goes on vacation in the summertime. Here in North Vancouver, the air is smoky, thick and grey with an orange glow.
I just hope that we get some rain soon, and that the firefighters are able to put the fires out.
Just for fun, a picture of Anglesey Barracks with spaceship planted in using generative fill. I realise now as I browse Flickr that more and more people are using this feature and it’s becoming harder to determine the fake from reality.
This is but a short drive from where I have moved to and it's truly lovely to have somewhere to go in winter to photograph wildlife. This pup was pretty close to the viewing path and had just fed.
Het is een genot om na een periode van afwezigheid de museumtrams weer op straat te zien. Hier piept Ombouwer 36 uit het Haagse museumbestand door de boog in Voorburg.
Op het balkonscherm zit het geëmailleerde reclamebord waarmee Van Nelle's koffie en thee onder de aandacht gebracht worden. Passend bij het verschijningsbeeld van de jaren dertig is de Turmac-sigarettenreclame op het dak van de tram.
De fraaie villa aan het Westeinde uit 1901 is slechts enige jaren ouder dan het oorspronkelijke deel van de tram die in 1905 door Werkspoor gebouwd werd. In tegenstelling tot het pand onderging de tram een ingrijpende gedaante wisseling in de jaren 1929-31.

This is Iceland. An island with the wild North Atlantic Ocean to the south and the Norwegian Sea to the north. A place where you might sometimes think you're on a different planet. A country whose population is often dwarfed by the number of tourists who visit. Home to the friendliest people you'll ever meet. A small island with landscapes larger than life.
If you've never visited Iceland, drop everything and go now. Of all the countries I've visited around the world, Iceland is not only cool (and I'm not referring to the temperatures), but it ranks near the top of my most favourite places in the world. I've visited Iceland numerous times dating back well before it became a wildly popular destination. There were few hotel choices when I first visited. Today there are an abundance of hotels in the city centre of Rejkjavik.
Reyjavik alone is charming enough for you to know you've chosen the right travel destination. The city centre is relatively small and most definitely walkable. You'll find numerous bars, restaurants and shops and outdoor public spaces to sit back and watch Icelanders go by.
But it's the majestic landscape that will capture your heart and imagination. The mountains are glorious. The glaciers are enormous. There are plenty of tours that will take you to the top sights. Private guides will take you to places few others see. If you prefer to go on your own, rent a car.

"Birding is a three-dimensional pastime. It’s superior to, say, mushrooming, where the quarry is never higher than your shoelaces. And, of course, misidentifying a bird won’t kill you. Now, while all the mushroomers get busy writing angry op-eds, let me explain.
Birds fly. The sky’s the limit. One can’t go birding without looking up. The entire forest is stratified, from the treetop warblers to the ground foraging turkeys. And in the middle: thrushes.
Members of the thrush family spend much of their time on or near the ground. They forage on foot.
Males on territory might sing from a treetop, but they are often content to croon from a lower branch in the canopy. Birders sometimes complain about “warbler neck,” the pain that comes from looking high into the trees. Nobody complains about thrush neck.
Robins and bluebirds are thrushes. They’re easy to tell apart. The rest? Not so much. All the medium-sized thrushes are various shades of brown, with whitish, spotted breasts. So when walking in the woods, identification becomes easier if you start with a default bird: everything is a hermit thrush, unless it isn’t.
The hermit thrush is the most common and widespread thrush in Maine. It is comfortable in the understory of both hardwood and softwood trees. It forages through the leaf litter on the ground. When surprised, it may fly to a nearby branch where it can look you over and assess the threat, perhaps raising its tail or wiggling its wings. In other words, it’s easy. Its reddish tail contrasts with its brown body, confirming the identification at a glance. The whitish breast is lightly spotted.
Hermit thrushes don’t go far in winter. Most stay in the states. Some are even found on Christmas bird counts in Maine. They are the earliest of the brown thrushes to return, and start singing in late April.
Like their cousins, the song is an ethereal, flute-like melody, rising and falling. "

The mountain Sveinstindur is positioned near the shout shore of the highland lake Langisjór, practically in the middle of Iceland. The height of the mountain is 1093 meters, and it is higher than most of the surrounding mountains. The elevation is about 350 meters as Langisjór lake is placed at an altitude of 670 meters. Sveinstindur mountain is one of the best places in Iceland to get a good view of the Highland and probably one of the best viewing places in Iceland. Here you have a view to six glaciers, many great volcanos, hundreds of mountains, long and winding rivers, and the horizon for hundreds of kilometers in any direction. You just have to be there to understand the magnitude of the view.

Cattle Egret
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics, and warm-temperate zones. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Bubulcus, although some authorities regard two of its subspecies as full species, the western cattle egret and the eastern cattle egret. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonized much of the rest of the world in the last century.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands, and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations are migratory, and others show post breeding dispersal.

The Skagerrak is a strait running between the Jutland peninsula of Denmark, the southeast coast of Norway and the west coast of Sweden, connecting the North Sea and the Kattegat sea area through the Danish Straits to the Baltic Sea.
The Skagerrak contains some of the busiest shipping routes in the world, with vessels from every corner of the globe. It also supports an intensive fishing industry. The ecosystem is strained and negatively affected by direct human activities. Oslo and Gothenburg are the only large cities in the Skagerrak region.
A medium-sized dark-backed albatross with pale underwings outlined by a narrow dark border and a dark notch in the armpit. The adult has a whitish head with grayish cheeks that give it a “white-capped” appearance. The gray-green bill has a yellowish tip to both mandibles. Juveniles are grayer on the head with gray bills. The species breeds on islands off Tasmania and New Zealand but disperses widely across the southern Oceans between 15 and 60°S, where it is a frequently encountered pelagic seabird. Similar albatrosses have a dark-tipped (not pale-tipped) lower half to the bill, and Salvin’s Albatross has a pale gray head and Chatham Albatross a slaty-gray head, further differentiating them from White-capped Albatross. Juveniles of these three are very difficult to separate. (eBird)

By far the most frequently seen albatraoss of our trip. Usually seen gliding effortlessly over the ocean, this one decided to join the fun of our albatross hunt. He is one of the four species that we found that day.

ANSH 119 #11 "Guess what this is..."
And now the reveal: It is a Danish dough whisk, primarily used in breadmaking. If you don't want to use a stand mixer for the initial mixing this will get things started without having to get your hands all gooey. How far will depend on on how stiff the dough is. Eventually though, you do have to get your hands in to knead the dough. This one is sold by the King Arthur Baking Company, and the mark is their logo. I use their flour, which has higher protein content than most other brands, and I found this for sale in their online store.
