Elecampane, also known as Inula helenium, is a perennial plant native to Eurasia and naturalized in parts of North America. It belongs to the sunflower family Asteraceae and is known for its medicinal properties and attractive flowers.
The root of Elecampane is respected as one of Europe’s strongest respiratory tonics and has been used in herbal medicine to treat respiratory disorders.
Wearyall Hill (also known as Wirral Hill) is a ridge of a hill opposite Glastonbury Tor (in the distance on the right). Glastonbury Town centre sits off to one side between them. It is reputed to be the birthplace of the Holy Thorn, a twice annually flowering tree that grew from the spot where Joseph of Arimathea was supposed to be have put his staff into the ground. The tree itself is now gone (though it's location can be discerned by the decoration around it's spot) as it was chopped down, regrown and then eventually removed because of vandalism by less 'open minded' folk. Wearyall Hill was supposed to have got it's name from the fact that Joseph was weary upon reaching the top of it. Like the Tor opposite, good views can be obtained from the top over Glastonbury and the Somerset Levels.
Also known as Australian Red Cockatoo Waspfish, Cockatoo Fish, Cockatoo Leaf Fish, Cockatoo Rougefish, Leaf Fish, Redskinfish.
Found singly or in pairs rocking in the current during the day over sand, rubble and weed bottoms of shallow reefs.
They feed nocturnally on tiny crustaceans by ambushing their prey pretending to be a dead leaf.
The Cockatoo Waspfish can be recognised by its long sail-like Dorsal Fin which originates above the eyes.
Length - 15cm
Depth - 1-70m
Widespread Eastern Indian Ocean
Waspfish can be distinguished from the Leaf Fish that belongs to the Scorpionfish family, by the Dorsal Fins that begin above or in the front of the eyes.
Most species sway back and forth to mimic debris as they wait for their victims to venture close.

Autumn, also known as Fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons. Outside the tropics, autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere). Autumn is the season when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably. Day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses until the Winter Solstice in December (Northern Hemisphere) and June (Southern Hemisphere). One of its main features in temperate climates is the striking change in colour for the leaves of deciduous trees as they prepare to shed.
Although colour change in leaves occurs wherever deciduous trees are found, coloured autumn foliage is noted in various regions of the world: most of North America, Eastern Asia (including China, Korea, and Japan), Europe, southeast, south and part of the midwest of Brazil, the forest of Patagonia, eastern Australia and New Zealand's South Island.
Eastern Canada and New England are famous for their autumnal foliage, and this attracts major tourism (worth billions of US dollars) for the regions.
Lonicera sempervirens (commonly known as coral honeysuckle, trumpet honeysuckle, or scarlet honeysuckle) is a flowering plant species of honeysuckle vine native to the eastern United States which is known for its reddish flowers.
It is best recognized by trumpet-shaped and coral to reddish flowers. The leaves and stems are waxy, a common trait in the Honeysuckle genus.[citation needed] It is a twining vine growing to 20 ft or more through shrubs and young trees. The leaves are produced in opposite pairs, oval, up to 5 cm long and 4 cm broad; the leaves immediately below the flowers are perfoliate, joined at the base in a complete ring round the shoot. When born, their flowers are whorled on the end. They are present with red berries on them that are less than 1 cm width and length. The berries are inedible and grow from summer to fall. Their leaves are somewhat evergreen. The species is also flammable, which leads to it not being recommended for being planted close to residences.[Wikipedia]
The Monastery, known as Blackfriars from the black cloaks the friars wore, was founded on a site west of Southgate Street, Gloucester, with the city wall adjacent to the south. It comprised a church and a quadrangle formed by such buildings as the scriptorium (library), the dormitory with its renowned scissor-braced roof and the cloisters. It was established around 1239 under the patronage of Henry III and at its height was home to 30-40 friars. Today it is one of the most complete surviving Dominican black friaries in England and owned by English Heritage.
Originally known as The Manor, the Georgian mansion was built in 1910 for John and Ruth Pratt. It was designed by noted architect Charles Adams Plat and was part of a 55 acre estate. John Pratt, an attorney and an executive with Standard Oil Company, died in 1927. His, widow, Ruth Baker Pratt, the first Republican Congresswoman from the State of New York, continued to reside at The Manor until her death in 1965. In 1967, the Glen Cove Mansion acquired the estate and converted it to a premiere hotel and conference center. By 1984, additional wings had been added that brought the total number of guest rooms to 200.

The ‘Praying Hands of Mary’, also known as Fionn’s Rock & split Rock is a mysterious rock formation in Glen Lyon. It consists of two large stones that rise together as if they were hands praying. Some say it is part of Ley Lines that run through the area. But it is most certainly a natural split rock.
You don't get a sense of scale without a figure but it is about 5 metres high.
Although difficult to reach, the site is well worth seeing as it takes your imagination back deep into Scotland’s Celtic past. You’ll appreciate it even more due to the long trek you took to get there!
Glen Lyon (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Lìomhann) is a glen in the Perth and Kinross region of Scotland. It is the longest enclosed glen in Scotland and runs for 34 miles (55 kilometres) from Loch Lyon in the west to the village of Fortingall in the east.
This glen was also known as An Crom Ghleann ("The Bent Glen"). The land given over to the MacGregors was An Tòiseachd. It forms part of the Loch Rannoch and Glen Lyon National Scenic Area, one of 40 such areas in Scotland, which are defined so as to identify areas of exceptional scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development by restricting certain forms of development. Sir Walter Scott described Glen Lyon as the "longest, loneliest and loveliest glen in Scotland". Apart from a few scattered farms and cottages throughout the glen, the only real settlements are at Fortingall and Bridge of Balgie.
The Glen contains several small hamlets and has a Primary school where Gaelic is taught weekly.
Seattle is known for it's love of coffee and for foisting Starbucks Coffee on the world. Although this coffee house is not a Starbucks, it is a popular hangout.

Chaenomeles japonica, known as either the Japanese quince or Maule's quince,is a species of flowering quince. It is a thorny deciduous shrub that is commonly cultivated. It is shorter than another commonly cultivated species C. speciosa, growing to only about 1 m in height. The fruit is called Kusa-boke (草木瓜, Kusa-boke) in Japanese. It is best known for its colorful spring flowers of red, white, pink or multi. It produces apple-shaped fruit that are a golden-yellow color containing red-brown seeds. The fruit is edible, but hard and astringent, unless bletted or cooked. The fruit is occasionally used in jam, jelly and pie making as a substitute for its cousin, the true quince, Cydonia oblonga. C. japonica is also popularly grown in bonsai.
Little known fact: the Lucasfilm crew made a blunder in Norway back in the winter of 1979. As we all know, they were doing a fine job shooting their movie but at the same time they were a little too careless with everything they had shipped to the location. Snowspeeders, beasts of the ice planet and even the big AT-AT walkers were frequently left unguarded. And sure enough, eventually one of these giants escaped the area during a snowstorm.
Now, 37 years later, we have a feral AT-AT walker loose up here in the north. It's never been caught, it's a master of disguise. Luckily, this thing is not dangerous but it makes a big mess stepping on parked cars and such.
Thanks a lot Lucasfilm!
Cherry blossoms, known as sakura, symbolize the fleeting nature of life. They are stunning in full bloom but only last a few weeks before falling and withering away. This duality represents both life and death, beauty and violence. As spring brings new life, the blooming sakura exudes vitality, yet their short lifespan reminds us of life's transience.
Sakura is a prominent symbol in Japanese culture, appearing in art, film, poetry, and literature. Historically, they represented the brief, colorful lives of samurai, who lived by a strict moral code called bushido. Fallen cherry blossoms symbolized the end of a samurai's life.
During World War II, kamikaze pilots adorned their planes with sakura, symbolizing a beautiful, honorable death for the emperor. In Japanese folk religions, cherry blossom trees were associated with agricultural fertility, believed to be the dwelling places of deities who transformed into rice paddy gods.
The Hanami ritual celebrates the transient beauty of cherry blossoms. Known as "flower viewing," it involves gazing at the flowers, a practice that dates back to ancient times when farmers prayed and made offerings under the trees for a bountiful harvest. Today, Hanami is a beloved annual event where families and friends gather for picnics and parties under the cherry blossoms, enjoying food, drinks, and each other's company.

Also known as Tingri. The westernmost parts of Tsang province are traditionally known as Lato, the`highland`region of Tibet; and this vast area is devided into North Lato and South Lato. The county is bordered on the south by the high Himalayan range, including Mount Everest (Tib. Jomo Langma ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ ), Makalu, and Cho Oyu (Tib. Jowo Oyuk ཇོ་བོ་ ཨོ་ ཡུ་).
In recent decades, the whole of South Lato, along with neighbouring Tingkye county, has been incorporated into the vast Jomo Langma National Nature Reserve (area 33.819 sq km).
The county capital is Shelkar,
Area: 14.156 sq km.
Also known as the Asian King Vulture, this is a large vulture found in South Asia and parts of South East Asia. The vulture is critically endangered due to Diclofenac poisoning used in cattle in India which these vultures consume and suffer from kidney / organ failures.
This is a large bird, but a medium sized vulture weighing around 4-6 kgs and having a wingspan of around 6.5-8.5 feet. Compare this to the Griffon vultures (Himalayan and Cinereous Griffon) which are around 8-12 Kg with a wingspan of around 8-11 feet. And they are all seen together often around a dead cow or a goat in this instance. Sighting these is nowadays considered pretty rare given their precipitous drop in numbers. We sighted a good number of vultures, but only 2 of these during our week long trip.
One interesting thing is that the sexes are differentiated by the color of the iris - males have pale / white iris, while females have a dark brown / blackish iris. And based on that, this is a female which we sighted eating a dead goat in the desert.

One of the 12 apostles, the most beloved and the youngest... St. John, also known as St. John Theologos, to whom Jesus entrusted his mother, lived here, wrote the Gospel here and even died here. St. John, who is known to have come to Ephesus in 37-38, made efforts to spread the Christian faith in Ephesus and added new believers to his community. St. Paulus also stayed in Ephesus for a while and then left. In 67, St. John began preaching the Gospel with St. Pertus and was tried to be killed twice by the emperor Domitianus and miraculously survived both times. In 81, St. John was exiled to the island of Patmos and returned to Ephesus in 95. St. John spent his last years in Ephesus (on Ayasuluk Hill), where he wrote his epistles and the Gospel that bears his name. He died here at the age of about 100 and was buried on Ayasuluk Hill upon his will.
A Martyrion (Mausoleum) was built over his tomb around 300, when Christianity began to spread. Fifty years later, this mausoleum was enclosed in a basilica with a wooden roof (c. 350), but it became unusable due to earthquakes at the beginning of the 6th century. Between 527 and 565, a new cross-planned, domed church was built by Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora to replace this basilica. When the people of Ephesus moved completely to Ayasuluk after the 7th century, the Church of St. Jean replaced the old Episcopal church in Ephesus and was accepted as a pilgrimage church. Since then, St. John's Church has been considered a very important pilgrimage center for the Orthodox community, and every year on May 8 (the Feast of Saints), services are held here in the spiritual presence of St. John according to the Christian belief.

Also known as the Tibetan ground-tit or Hume's ground-tit, is a unique bird found on the Tibetan Plateau. It lives at high elevations, typically above 3,000 meters (9,800 feet), in treeless environments like alpine steppe and open pastures.
Despite being classified within the tit family, the ground tit's appearance and behavior are quite different from other members of the Paridae family. It was historically mistaken for a ground jay (family Corvidae) due to its terrestrial habits and long, slightly downcurved bill, similar to a chough. However, genetic studies confirmed its placement in the tit family.
Unlike most tits, it spends most of its time on the ground, exhibiting a distinctive bouncy gait and weak flight, preferring to run or jump from danger. Its diet consists primarily of insects and other invertebrates, which it probes for in soil, rock crevices, and even yak dung. The ground tit also builds its own burrows for nesting and roosting, reaching depths of up to 1.8 meters (5.9 feet).
The ground tit is a cooperative breeder, with monogamous pairs sometimes assisted by male helpers, often young from previous broods. We sighted them in plenty around the desert of Tsokar and village of Hanle.

Blackcap - Sylvia Atrcapilla (M)
Double click!
The Eurasian blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) usually known simply as the blackcap, is a common and widespread typical warbler. It has mainly olive-grey upperparts and pale grey underparts, and differences between the five subspecies are small. Both sexes have a neat coloured cap to the head, black in the male and reddish-brown in the female. The male's typical song is a rich musical warbling, often ending in a loud high-pitched crescendo, but a simpler song is given in some isolated areas, such as valleys in the Alps. The blackcap's closest relative is the garden warbler, which looks quite different but has a similar song.
The blackcap feeds mainly on insects during the breeding season, then switches to fruit in late summer, the change being triggered by an internal biological rhythm. When migrants arrive on their territories they initially take berries, pollen and nectar if there are insufficient insects available, then soon switch to their preferred diet. They mainly pick prey off foliage and twigs, but may occasionally hover, flycatch or feed on the ground. Blackcaps eat a wide range of invertebrate prey, although aphids are particularly important early in the season, and flies, beetles and caterpillars are also taken in large numbers. Small snails are swallowed whole, since the shell is a source of calcium for the bird's eggs. Chicks are mainly fed soft-bodied insects, fruit only being provided if invertebrates are scarce.
In July, the diet switches increasingly to fruit. The protein needed for egg-laying and for the chicks to grow is replaced by fruit sugar which helps the birds to fatten for migration. Aphids are still taken while they are available, since they often contain sugars from the plant sap on which they feed. Blackcaps eat a wide range of small fruit, and squeeze out any seeds on a branch before consuming the pulp. This technique makes them an important propagator of mistletoe. The mistle thrush, which also favours that plant, is less beneficial since it tends to crush the seeds. Although any suitable fruit may be eaten, some have seasonal or local importance; elder makes up a large proportion of the diet of northern birds preparing for migration, and energy-rich olives and lentisc are favoured by blackcaps wintering in the Mediterranean.
The German birds wintering in British gardens rely on provided food, and the major items are bread and fat, each making up around 20% of the diet; one bird survived the whole winter eating only Christmas cake. Fruit is also eaten, notably cotoneaster (41% of the fruit consumed), ivy and honeysuckle, and apple if available. Some birds have learned to take peanuts from feeders. Blackcaps defend good winter food sources in the wild, and at garden feeding stations they repel competitors as large as starlings and blackbirds. Birds occasionally become tame enough to feed from the hand.
Aristotle, in his History of Animals, considered that the garden warbler eventually metamorphosed into a blackcap. The blackcap's song has led to it being described as the "mock nightingale" or "country nightingale", and John Clare, in "The March Nightingale" describes the listener as believing that the rarer species has arrived prematurely. "He stops his own and thinks the nightingale/Hath of her monthly reckoning counted wrong". The song is also the topic of Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli's "La Capinera" [The Blackcap].
Giovanni Verga's 1871 novel Storia di una capinera, according to its author, was inspired by a story of a blackcap trapped and caged by children. The bird, silent and pining for its lost freedom, eventually dies. In the book, a nun evacuated from her convent by cholera falls in love with a family friend, only to have to return to her confinement when the disease wanes. The novel was adapted as films of the same name in 1917, 1943 and 1993. The last version was directed by Franco Zeffirelli, and its English-language version was retitled as Sparrow. In Saint François d'Assise, an opera by Messiaen, the orchestration is based on bird song. St Francis himself is represented by the blackcap.
Folk names for the blackcap often refer to its most obvious plumage feature (black-headed peggy, King Harry black cap and coal hoodie) or to its song, as in the "nightingale" names above. Other old names are based on its choice of nesting material (Jack Straw, hay bird, hay chat and hay Jack). There is a tradition of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm bases being named for birds. A former base near Stretton in Cheshire was called HMS Blackcap.

Sows with cubs are known to be quite protective with their cubs. Everyone knows not to mess with a mama bear ... well except for the big boars who roam around with one thing in mind. They will do anything to get some "alone time" with the females, including kill their cubs so that they will be available. It's honestly one of the things that I fear the most when I'm out photographing the sows with cubs. I remember one day seeing a sow with 2 or 3 young spring cubs fishing a stream, then they disappeared. A while later we could hear screaming of the little ones and I feared the worse. I asked our guide if he thought the cubs were being attacked by a big boar we had also seen in the vicinity. He said no because the crying out was so prolonged. If it had been a boar attacking a cub, it would have been over long ago. We eventually found the little cubs way up in a tree ... unharmed. Whoever said only black bears climb trees?
So, this brown bear cub in the image wasn't one of those cubs, but it is another one seeking the same safety from a board in the area. Its mom sensing the danger for her cubs will send them literally scurrying up the nearest tree for safety. She will then fiercely defend against the boar. When it's safe, she will give a signal to the cubs who will shimmy on down the tree to reunite with mom.
These cubs in the trees are one of the cutest sights ever. So on alert and anxious about the frantic activity going on. They never question mom when she alerts them and promptly obey. So darned smart and adorable to watch.
Well, it's Monday again. Only 1 more after today before 2022. Yikes, where is the time going?

Campanula are commonly known as bellflowers. All other bellflowers I have seen had the typical bell shape when they were open, not this one though. The Yukon bellflower, also called Alaskan harebell, has a limited distribution between the interior of Alaska and northern British Columbia. The anthers (male parts) open inwards when the style is still unreceptive and deposit their pollen on the middle of the style (female part) where it is held in a thick covering of hairs. After the anthers have shrivelled and fallen, the stigma (top of female part) opens into 3 lobes, ready to receive the pollen carried from other flowers by insects. If cross-pollination does not occur, the lobes of the stigma open wider, rolling back until they come into contact with the pollen grains sticking to the hairy style. In the photo, the stigma lobes are still closed.
Wikipedia: Liberty, commonly known as Liberty's, is a luxury department store in London, England. It is located on Great Marlborough Street in the West End of London. The building spans from Carnaby Street on the East to Kingly Street on the West, where it forms a three storey archway over the Northern entrance to the Kingly Street mall that houses the Liberty Clock in its centre.

Also known as Japanese jack-in-the-pulpit, this flower has become a standout in my gardens. I decided to practice a bit of closeup landscape photography before heading to the mountains in the first week of May. The rains of yesterday set up some good lighting conditions for it. This plant, as are many in my gardens, came from Plant Delights Nursery in Raleigh, North Carolina, known the world over for such beautiful and unusual offerings.

Sonnenberg Gardens, also known as Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park, Canandaigua, New York, USA, at the North end of Canandaigua Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. The house and gardens are open to the public every day, May through October.
The property was once the summer home of Frederick Ferris Thompson, a prominent banker in New York City, and his wife Mary Clark Thompson, whose father, Myron Holley Clark, was Governor of New York State in 1855. The Clark family was from Canandaigua, NY. Mr. & Mrs. Thompson's main home was in NYC in a large townhouse on Madison Avenue. The Thompsons purchased the Sonnenberg property in 1863, keeping the name, Sonnenberg (which means "sunny hill" in German). In 1887, they replaced the original farmhouse with a forty-room Queen Anne style mansion. The property also had a 100-acre farm to the east. Sonnenberg's gardens were designed and built between 1902–1919, and originally consisted of nine gardens in a variety of styles.

Cosenza once called the “Athens of Italy” is also known as the “City of the Bruzis”, it is one of the oldest cities in Calabria and extends across seven hills in the valley of the Crati river and at the meeting of the Busento stream. Alaric I, legendary King of the Visigoths sacked Rome in the early 5th century capturing a massive amount of gold and jewels he made it as far as Cosenza before contracting something that he could not fight with a sword killing him before he could make his way home. Alaric’s men buried the King and all the plunder they took from Rome with him under one of the rivers, whose course was diverted long enough to dig a tomb, they then killed all who knew about its location leaving one history’s biggest treasure hoards hidden in time, perhaps somewhere in this scene.

Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each other. The lateral sepals are usually larger than the dorsal sepal and the petals much wider than the sepals. The labellum is joined stiffly to the column and has three lobes. The side lobes are erect and more or less parallel to each other and the middle lobe sometimes has a pair of appendages or antennae. 17891
