WONDERFUL FACTS - The Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) - also called Asian Buffalo, Asiatic Buffalo and Wild Asian Buffalo.
Is a large bovine native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000.
A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue.
The global population has been estimated at 3,400 individuals, of which 3,100 (91%) live in India, mostly in Assam.
The wild water buffalo is the probable ancestor of the domestic water buffalo

This is a view of the Seattle skyline after a series of storms fiercely roiled above the city off and on throughout the day.
Seattle, in Spring, is one of those cities when almost every type of weather imaginable is listed -- and SERVED -- on the menu from hour to hour, or every 30 minutes. Take a sip of your drink as I set the scene for you.
You are figuratively sitting at the table, wholeheartedly curious to see what will be featured in the next course because Chef Mother Nature is bringing out her very best today: high winds and drizzle, some "shy-and-goodbye" sunshine, a feast of tempest teasers, more "peek-a-boo" sunshine, a feisty storm and sun combo with a side of rainbow delight, etc. Sometimes you want your taste buds to get accustomed to the new flavors, but often, you don't have time because the next meal has just been prepared for your consumption. The Chef does not care if you haven't had time to acclimate. This is her show.
You get the picture...well, you literally are about to now!
After all the different meals, you are stuffed. However, though your hunger has been overwhelmingly satiated, and your palate has experienced a multitude of spices and seasonings, you know you need to end the meal with an appetizing, gooey, decadent dessert. (Plus, you know it's coming after that fiesta of diverse foods). On this day, we were treated to an intriguing mix of orange and peach skies with smooth breezes above the bay to close the day. Scrumptious, sweet, and delicious, yes?
Alas, I hope you enjoyed our dessert. I know I did.

A view looking north on N. Main St. from E. Washington St. on the southeast corner of Bloomington's Courthouse Square. To the left is the old McLean County Courthouse, now a museum. This site was home to three previous courthouses built in 1831, 1836 and 1868. The Great Fire of 1900 destroyed the 1868 courthouse, along with 45 other buildings in the core of downtown Bloomington to little more than smoking rubble.
The courthouse shown here was designed by William Reeves and John M. Baile of the Peoria firm Reeves and Baile. The Classical Revival style structure was completed in 1903.
The fifth and current McLean County Courthouse, a modern design located 2 blocks south of this location, was completed in 1977. The courts were the first to move to the new building but until 1991, general county offices were still housed in the old courthouse. The McLean County Historical Society relocated its museum here in 1988, and today all 4 floors of the building are occupied by the McLean County Museum of History for exhibits, collections storage, and offices.
The McLean County Courthouse and Square was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and encompasses the old McLean County Courthouse and the courthouse-facing sides of Washington St. to the south, Center St. to the west, and Jefferson St. to the north. The historic buildings to the east of the old courthouse on the N. Main St. side of the square were destroyed by fire in the 1985. Today a contemporary office building occupies the site.
This view also shows a large section of the north side of the Courthouse Square on W. Jefferson St., along with the west side of N. Main St. all the way to the tower of the Art-Deco styled Holy Trinity Church at N. Main and W. Chestnut streets. Nearly every building in this view is listed by itself or as part of a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.

Das Leuchtfeuer List-Ost ist nach List-West der zweitnördlichste Leuchtturm von Deutschland und steht auf der Nordostseite der Insel Sylt, fast am Ende der Halbinsel Ellenbogen. Das Leuchtfeuer dient als Leit-, und Quermarkenfeuer für das Fahrwasser "Lister-Tief" mit einem Leitsektor für das "Hoyer Dyp". Der weiße Turm mit rotem Band wurde 1857 von der Isselburger Hütte aus gusseisernen Platten auf einem Betonfundament erstellt. Das rote Laternenhaus ist eine Stahlkonstruktion mit einem Kupferdach. Zusammen mit seinem 2700 m entfernt stehenden Zwillingsturm List-West sind sie die ältesten noch aktiven Leuchttürme Deutschlands mit einem Gusseisenturm.
Lighthouse List-East: The second most northern lighthouse of Germany after List-West stands on the northeast side of the island Sylt, almost at the end of the peninsula Ellenbogen. The beacon serves as a direction and cross light for the fairway "Lister-Tief" with a leading sector for the "Hoyer Dyp". The white tower with the red ribbon was built in 1857 by the Isselburger Hütte from cast iron plates on a concrete foundation. The red lantern house is a steel construction with a copper roof. Together with its twin tower List-West, 2700 m away, they are the oldest still active lighthouses in Germany with a cast iron tower.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Looking from the Observatory Tower of Lincoln Castle towards the Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185.
The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: The Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

„... Die Art der Belichtung verändert alles. So wie die eigene Wahrnehmung der Welt das Bild beeinflußt, das andere von mir haben. Im Abseits zu stehen bedeutet manchmal für mich, als einziger ein freies Sichtfeld zu haben. Ob andere mich wahrnehmen? Lieber nicht. Nicht, weil ich bescheiden bin. Um ehrlich zu sein, Aufmerksamkeit von anderen ist mir unangenehm. Ich möchte nur selbst aufmerksam bleiben. Das Blind werden ist die Gefahr, die im ständigen Wahrnehmen lauert. Die Reizüberflutung hält kein Deich auf. Es muss nicht immer mehr sein. Mir reicht das Meer vollkommen. Eine offene Blende, ISO 160 und immer der AV-Modus. In Photoshop Autofarbe und Autokontrast und eine minimale Korrektur der Gradationskurve. Mehr nicht. Mittlerweile weiß ich im Moment der Aufnahme, wie das Resultat am Ende aussehen wird. Wem es gefällt und wem nicht? Meine Kreativität bringt seltsame Blüten hervor, die manche für Unkraut halten. Mir ist das nur recht... Mein Rausch braucht keine Drogen, sondern nur eine Vorstellung von Farben...“
