Kernels of popcorn.
(Not to be confused with other popular colonels, Sanders, Potter, Klink, Mustard, and Tom Parker.)
In the English language, kernel and colonel are pronounced the same.

Bank holiday here in Ireland today. I'd already picked a "corn on the cob" from our polytunnel this afternoon ready to cook with dinner & have been commenting on a my Flickr friends' various amazing Macro Monday photos.
So I thought hey why not give it a go? It's been a while since I dragged my proper Canon camera out. Photographed on my trusty old purple hoodie HMM!
Da aktuell mein Arch-Linux das Spiel "Finde meine Kernel nicht!" mit mir spielen mag, werde ich mich jetzt mal um den PC bekümmern.
Bedeutet für euch. Kein Text! Also kaum Text. Also, nur das bisschen Text, dass ich benötige um euch mitzuteilen, dass es kein Text gibt. Was wiederum sich selbst widerspricht.
Ach egal. Meine 64-Bit Diva mag Aufmerksamkeit. So soll sie es bekommen.
Cya. ;)
Ihr dürft natürlich gerne Teilen, kommentieren, konstruktiv kritisieren und Folgen.

One of at least a couple hundred of these handsome birds in and around agricultural fields in SE Michigan. I was out looking for snowies (saw at least three individuals, maybe four) but couldn't resist stopping and trying to capture some of these cuties. They were digging out corn kernels left over from last fall's harvest.

Quite colorfully adorned and looking akin to a giant corn cob, Colorado Sweet Gold SW-1 63 poses at the company's Johnstown facility. Dubbed "The Kernel", CSG 63 was built by EMD in 1940 as Elgin, Joliet & Eastern 233. The unit came west in the 1960s when it was sold to the Great Western Railway. It became GWR 63 and began working the famed Colorado sugar beet hauler. During the 1990s, 63 was sold to Colorado Sweet Gold and received this attractive look. As of 2025, it continues to operate for CSG.

you eat it
at your own risk
ravenously enticing
reassuringly
poisonous acute
with passion poetry
the fleshy part
you dilute
with oily hands
the soul of
the kernel
embedded deep
sticky like jack-fruit
the hijra is mysterious
a culinary curiosity
from the fire into
the frying pan
my poetic offshoot
raveena androgynous
seductive slithery
conniving but cute
dripping droplets
of sensuality
whether in a
low waist saree
or a hip clinging
pantsuit my
libidinous lecherously
lewd inner vision
through the camera
pays her a tribute
born a man clinging
to the embodiment
of a woman
androgynous
anomalous
erotic psychotic
almost neurotic
this hijra divine beauty
i salute
in my minds
pond of poetry
i visualize her
in a teeny weeny
itsy bitsy
body kissing
swim suit
“Walnuts have a shell, and they have a kernel. Religions are the same. They have an essence, but then they have a protective coating. This is not the only way to put it. But it’s my way. So the kernels are the same. However, the shells are different.” ~ Huston Smith
Huston Cummings Smith (May 31, 1919 – December 30, 2016) was an influential scholar of religious studies in the United States. He authored at least thirteen books on world's religions and philosophy.

PS- you may be wondering why i shot this in my bathroom of all places.. ha, well guys i didn't wanna use flash so natural light it was... and it just so happened that the bathroom is the lightest place in the house! inappropriate i know...
A popcorn kernel's strong hull contains the seed's hard, starchy shell endosperm with 14–20% moisture, which turns to steam as the kernel is heated. Pressure from the steam continues to build until the hull literally explodes, allowing the kernel to forcefully expand, to 20 to 50 times its original size, and then cool leaving behind a yummy treat.
Popcorn is often considered a grain but it is also considered a fruit.
summer's done and so are my fashion week uploads. i would tell you to head over to my uber blog for complete spring '09 coverage, but sadly the site vanished this morning. gone!

Portreath Beach, Cornwall, England, UK.
I am currently working for the Countrywide Great Tour, a 64 day cycling challenge around the coastline of the entire UK. I will try and post daily photos as we travel. More information can be found below.
This was taken on Day 50 as the cyclists passed by Portreath Beach in Cornwall.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
Fall on our work-pocked farm was marked by fallen leaves skittering across fading lawns urged along by gusty fall winds. Early darkness ended our days and a season of change was in the air as large fields of soybeans were methodically combined and corn was harvested.
In the early 1960s in our part of Minnesota, corn pickers were still the main method of harvesting corn either by pickers that were pulled by a tractor and run by a power-takeoff or were mounted self-propelled units.
In a few short years, most two-row pickers were superseded by corn harvesters that not only removed the ears off of corn stalks but also shelled the kernels from the ear of corn, thereby saving a whole lot of work for individual farmers who no longer had to employ a corn shelling crew in springtime to get the corn ready to truck into the local co-op elevator to sell.
Today, few people recognize immediately who you are referring if you would say the name Louis Marshall Jones. But, mention a nickname given to him when he was 22, “Grandpa Jones”, and most folks recognize the entertainer who had a career that started when he was just a young fellow in a family of 10 kids on a tobacco farm in Kentucky in the early 1900s.
Older folks remember the television program “Hee Haw” that produced some amazing talented country music singers and songs. Grandpa Jones was a fixture on that program along with Minnie Pearl and others.
In 1964, Jones wrote a song called Falling Leaves that contained these lyrics: “Fallen leaves That lie scattered on the ground The birds and the flowers that were here now can't be found All my friends that I once had are not around They are scattered Like the leaves upon the ground ”
Deserted farm places, abandoned barns and silos along with fields without fences now dot the countryside where many of us were born and raised during our formative years.
Much of what we once experienced and those we experienced it with are now not around and are scattered like the leaves upon the ground.

One of my new blessings this year has been the unique opportunity to share my photos with my Flickr friends all over the world, and to be encouraged and inspired by you all. May your hearts always be filled with love, your plates with bounty, and your vision with beauty. To my American Flickrites, Happy Thanksgiving. To all of you, my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity and kindness. I hope you always have much to be thankful for.

Kärnan (Danish: Kernen, both literally The Core) is a medieval tower in Helsingborg, Scania, in southern Sweden. It is the only part remaining of a larger Danish fortress which, along with the fortress Kronborg on the opposite of Oresund, controlled the entranceway to the Baltic Sea.
