at a point in life where ending it seems to be a relieving option, it needs people who make life worth living again.
Whilst it's often tempting to include the whole of an interesting tree, filling the frame with the details can also work well. Sometimes less is more!

-Il bianco è un colore con alta luminosità ma senza tinta. Più precisamente contiene tutti i colori dello spettro elettromagnetico ed è chiamato anche colore acromatico. Il nero è l'assenza di colori.
-L'impressione della luce bianca è creata dall'unione di certe intensità dei colori primari dello spettro: rosso, verde e blu. Bisogna notare che l'illuminazione prodotta con questa tecnica è diversa da quella prodotta dall'incandescenza.
-La parola bianco deriva dall'alto tedesco antico blanch, modificato in blank con il significato di "splendente".
-Prima che venisse accettata la teoria di Newton, la maggior parte degli scienziati riteneva che il bianco fosse il colore fondamentale della luce, e che gli altri colori si formassero solamente con l'aggiunta di qualcosa alla luce. Newton invece dimostrò che il bianco era formato dalla combinazione di altri colori.
-La luce bianca, al passaggio attraverso un prisma di cristallo, crea un arcobaleno con la gamma completa dei colori, suddividendosi infatti in tutti i colori da cui è composta.
-Nella scienza della luce c'è un continuum di colori della luce che possono esser chiamati "bianco". Alcuni di questi colori sono quelli emessi tramite l'incandescenza da un corpo a temperatura molto elevata (v. Radiazione di corpo nero): per esempio, il colore della radiazione emessa da un corpo nero riscaldato alla temperatura di 2848 kelvin è grosso modo equivalente alla luce della lampadina a incandescenza per uso domestico. Si dice pertanto che quest'ultima ha una temperatura di colore di 2848 kelvin. La luce bianca emessa dalle lampade di teatro ha invece una temperatura di colore superiore: circa 3200 K; la luce del giorno ha una temperatura di colore di 5400 K, ma può variare da un rosso freddo fino a un blu a 25000 K. Non tutte le radiazioni di un corpo possono essere considerate luce bianca: la temperatura della radiazione dell'universo, ad esempio, è solo di pochi kelvin ed è quasi invisibile.
-Nella tradizione cinese e indiana, il bianco è il colore del lutto, della morte e dei fantasmi.
-La bandiera bianca è un segno internazionale di arresa o armistizio, cioè simbolo di intenti pacifici in tempo di guerra.

I received this wonderful outfit from Denise and couldn't have been more happy.
Tympanuchus pallidicinctus
The Texas panhandle was the last stop on our recent chicken run and the target bird was the Lesser Prairie Chicken. We were definitely not disappointed as there were close to 20 males and at least three females on the lek putting on one heck of a show, often at such close range that I wasn’t able to even focus on the bird. It was a great way to wrap things up.

An ancient fence post. Less than perfect, but still standing.

When I got up this morning, the smoke looked like this to the east. It's not that the worst is over, far from it. The worst is not over. But the winds have died down, which kept the smoke from being pushed towards the southwest and into Glendale. For this morning, the smoke drifted to the south. Once could still smell the smoke in the air, and during most of the morning ashes would float down like snowflakes. That ended by the afternoon.
As long as the Troy Burger restaurant remains open I am optimistic about the fate of Glendale.

This is from when I was out on a walk with the family around Havtornsudd Point at Gålö in the inner archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden, on a pretty windy day.
Now wind obviously means less flying insects but I managed to stumble on something that was nice for my bug photography - but bad in general.
About halfway out there was a huge patch of plants which I initially mistook for lilac - about as high as me and like 20-25 square meters (200-225 square feet) of it.
On the side away from the wind, there were loads of bugs to shoot - but the plant turned out to be Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica). This is an invasive plant which is ridiculously difficult to get rid off and having it out there really sucks.
By now, you're probably wondering about the subject of this photo though. Well this is one of my absolute favourite inverts, the golden-haired robberfly (Choerades marginata). It turned out to be several of them which liked to land on the large leaves of the Japanese knotweed with their head at the tip, looking left and right for potential prey to intercept.
At first I couldn't get close, but through trial and error I got better at approaching them and stabilizing the leaves they were sitting on with my off hand. This is one of the earlier attempts at 1.2:1 magnification.
Part one is as close as I managed and at much greater resolution here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52225045609/
The red deer is Britain's largest land mammal. They are most numerous in Scotland, but isolated populations occur from the Lake District to Cornwall, with a few small herds in Wales. Venison from red deer in Forestry Commission woods is very popular with consumers in Britain. Venison from red deer has less cholesterol and fat than other red meat, and deer living in the woods do not have any artificial feeding.
Every tradition, every myth, is based on a grain of truth...
Recent evidence suggests that the easter bunny originated somewhere in what was once the supercontinent Gondwana, 2000 to 2000000000 years ago.
Several factors were important in the creation of the easter bunny story:
- dinosaurs would lay their eggs at this time of year
- their eggs were nutritious
- prehistoric man would be really hungry after a long winter
- being male and hungry predisposed him to making stupid decisions e.g.. stealing dinosaur eggs
- ancient megafauna like megarabbit were slow moving and easy to kill, but not as nutritious as dinosaur eggs
- if you wore megabunny ears like a hat, it would make you (prehistoric man) appear bigger and thus scarier to dinosaurs, increasing your chance of successfully stealing dinosaur eggs and surviving to procreate another day from 1:32544756485 to 1:7362486346
- prehistoric man had not yet mastered statistics or critical thought.
With these well documented facts put together, we can now appreciate how the story of the "easter bunny" and "easter eggs" came to be.
Ofcourse, like all stories, it has changed somewhat over the years, but the main message of Easter has remained the same - chocolate eggs taste better than real eggs, but are far less nutritious.
Happy hunting, and happy Easter!

-Il rosso è uno dei colori dello spettro percepibile dall'occhio umano. Ha la frequenza minore e, conseguentemente, la lunghezza d'onda più lunga di tutti gli altri colori visibili (tra 630 e 760 nanometri).
-Frequenze ancora minori ricadono nell'infrarosso.
-La parola rosso deriva dal latino rŭssum corradicale di rŭbeum.
-Il rosso è il colore più stimolante e coinvolgente di tutto lo spettro. Esprime slancio, velocità, potere e gioia, ma anche pericolo e passione. È un colore eccitante perché stimola il sistema nervoso centrale, aumentando il battito cardiaco e la pressione.

Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. " ~Robert Frost

With a bonus cancelled school day, we ventured out into the Iowa winter landscape. We made an afternoon on the UP's Clinton Sub between Blairstown and Belle Plaine. Traffic was light as we only seen 7 eastbounds between 12-5pm, and **NO** westbounds. I was excited though cause my old P-4 wouldn't let me take off in downtown Belle Plaine due to the airport to the south, seems like my new Mini could care less. So I took full advantage with the Council Bluffs to Proviso junker that has a bunch of power moving east. The train passes some of the neat things in Belle Plaine which is the old 180 foot depot to the left and this ex-CN&W caboose to the right.

Sorry I've been MIA...it's always hard starting a new assignment. There is so much to learn and never enough time. I haven't lifted a camera in two weeks...but I will try for a photo shoot this weekend :).
I'm trying some different styles of photo processing and this one is inspired by one of my favorite photogrophers, Shana. Check our her stream...it's fantastic!
How many times does the fat guy need to be told, Less animals, more presents....?
