The poetry of earth is never dead.

I will be away tomorrow and Friday so will catch up with you on the weekend!
Looper Moth Caterpillar (family Geometridae)
This one had been resting on an African Daisy until the fly, you can just see in the bottom left, disturbed it.

Just some Lupins in my garden, I love Lupins but they don't last very long, a bit like Peonies, as soon as they bloom, a few days later and they've gone.

This was taken in Melbourne Docklands, we spent a lovely day by the river on Saturday, lovely cool breezes much needed for our hot weather. Going to be 38 C again this Friday.
I'm guessing this is a type of Grevillea. This is only the top half of the length of the flower and is about 1cm across. I'm not even sure if it is fully open yet.
60039 sits and waits time at Clay Mills Junction on the 10:40 Bescot Down side to Boston Sleaford Sidings. It left as soon as two northbound freighliner services had passed.
Also works zoomed in.
Appearing into my space, now trying from the other side.
Some just HAVE to be portrayed, lol
From Old French lupin, from Latin lupinus (“pertaining to the wolf”).
The reason for association of the plant with the wolf is unclear.
Seeds of various species of lupins have been used as a food for over 3000 years around the Mediterranean and for as long as 6000 years in the Andean highland.
But this here is an ornamental Lupin.
Wishing you all the best and thank you, M, (*_*)

Yesterday, scientists published evidence from a 15-year dataset for the existence of 'stochastic' gravitational waves. If you are not an astrophysicist or astrophysics aficionado, you will likely wonder what the big deal in that is. Although background gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein in 1916 as a part of his grand theory of general relativity, the phenomenon was not empirically proven and remained the next major frontier in Physics. To simplify, gravitational waves could be thought of as ‘disturbances’ or ‘ripples’ in the fabric of spacetime, somewhat like –but much weaker than– a body of water hit by a boulder. These 'waves' of undulating spacetime were predicted to propagate from massive accelerating cosmic objects (e.g., black holes or neutron stars), or cataclysmic events (such as collision of two black holes) of the early universe. To detect and measure them, one needs two components: galactic amount of space and a lot of time. Where could one find so much space on this tiny planet Earth? Enter Pulsars. Pulsars are a subclass of neutron stars (burnout remnant of past massive stars) that rotate rapidly and beam their emission along their magnetic axis at a certain frequency. You could think of them as galactic lighthouses that emit radio waves as incredibly regular pulses from all around the cosmos. With appropriate listening devices (gigantic telescopes), one could keep track of their position in the spacetime fabric. Should pulsars –that are spaced around the galaxy– undulate due to gravitational waves, spacetime between them and earth will be stretched causing variation in arrival times of their pulses in a correlated way (Hellings and Downs correlation, if you are nerdy). NANOGrav scientists painstakingly collected data for arrival times of such pulses for 15 years. And now, their analyses reveal that the 68 pulsars tracked for all these years were wildly dancing in those protracted ‘stochastic gravitational waves’, which have been rippling all over the universe from the dawn of time. How cool is that? Somewhere among those stars up there, Einstein must have muttered yesterday, ‘…told ya!’.
Now, upon lunatic reflections, one realizes that cataclysmic events of our own past often reverberate in our thoughts, actions, and our existence. Could those be our personal gravitational waves that ride the cosmos of our soul? Are there any pulsars in our being to detect these waves? Do these waves cause emissions of our existence to reach other ports delayed or hurried? I am not sure. Somewhere among those stars up there, Einstein will likely know and mutter, ‘…the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious’.
PS: 'Waves' in lake waters above were caused by a loopy tourist, who decided to deal with distorted gravitational waves of his soul by stripping down and jumping in the ice-cold lake for a stochastic swim.

During my Ashbourne photowalk, this sign drew my attention as being the polar opposite of those hideous pvc banners hurriedly bolted to walls. It shows imagination and superb typography and actually depicts the business in a well designed way.
Even when the weather inevitably takes its toll, it will still perform its function (perhaps even better with a patina of atmospheric weathering)
