good morning, comrade. what's new?

I spoke to the commissar.

oh?

yeah. about the fact that we haven't gotten a pay raise for 5 years.

was he receptive?

I'm not sure. his words were, 'that does not matter.' so what do you think?

I think we're out of luck, is what I think.

yeah, that sounds about right.

Kennebunkport, ME. Not a political statement or disrespect. Simply the way my eye sees often via happenstance.

This is what the Devil's Fingers Fungus (Clathrus archeri) looks like before it 'hatches' from its 'egg' - the resemblance to the folds of a human cerebrum is very spooky indeed : )

...for yours truly.

 

Good morning everyone. For Dragonfly Thursday I'm pleased to present a short series on the Common Green Darner (Anax junius). And as the title indicates, the Green Darner is by far one of the more difficult dragonflies for yours truly to find or see perched. When I do, it's usually always low in tall grass and weeds. Unfortunately as seen above it makes getting decent pics without a lot of surrounding clutter or a distracting background difficult...sorry about that.

 

As for the two above pics, I reposted them in the comment section and my stream for better viewing. The male was photographed just recently at the reclaimed mine. I was photographing butterflies when the blue color caught my eye and I saw it perched at the base of a Field Thistle plant. The female was photographed last season at Lacey Pond perched on Cattails. Plus it's one of the few dragonfly pics I've taken using the 1.4X teleconverter attached to the 300mm lens, and only because I wasn't able to get close as I would have liked to where this female was perched.

 

As a side note, the Common Green Darner is the state insect of Washington State. As a matter of fact, Alaska is the only other state with a dragonfly, being the Four-spotted Skimmer.

 

As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the two photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view any picture in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this species of dragonfly.

 

Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly great week.

Not PhotoShop. Homemade Kaleidoscope.

Blue is the male principle, stern and spiritual. Yellow the female principle, gentle, cheerful and sensual. Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the colour which must be fought and vanquished by the other two.

Took some size comparison pics for a friend of me and Flora so she'd get a bit better grip on the MSD size.

I’ve been watching “Fisk”, an terrific Australian TV series, where coffee is super important to their work day. I can take it or leave it, even though my workplace has wonderful coffee machines. I cycle through the options - coffee, tea, herbal tea, hot chocolate, water.

Never forget to try lighting!

Pan Am 28N arrives at its desintation of Ayer in the wee hours of the morning, when I probably should have been at home getting ready to hit the rack.

 

FEC 104 being on the point, however, justified staying out later than I planned after work.

U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce delegates open 21st annual convention. Washington, D.C., June 19. Delegates numbering 2,000 met today at the opening session of the 21st annual convention of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. Serious matters were discussed by the male element but the girls decided to lighten the minds and open the eyes of all beholders by following the vagaries of the weather, one day cool, another day warm so-o-o the photographer brought home a 'hot cool' picture - left to right: Margaret Scott, Nome, Alaska; Betty [...], St. Petersburg, Florida; Reuben Coleman, Daytona Beach, Florida; and Minook Motschman, Fairbanks, Alaska.

Matter of Time

When she opened her eyes, she felt a laugh bubble up from her throat. She could SEE them. The reasons. The equations. Joyful peals of laughter dripped from her lips, one after the other. Awakened, she sees it all and begins to shed tears of mind numbing happiness. "I understand!" she cried in her pretty alto, "I can see them!"

HMMM!

No matter what they tell us

No matter what they do

No matter what they teach us

What we believe is true

 

No matter what they call us

However they attack

No matter where they take us

We'll find our own way back

 

I can't deny what I believe

I can't be what I'm not

I know I'll love forever

I know, no matter what

 

If only tears were laughter

If only night was day

If only prayers were answered

Then we would hear God say

 

No matter what they tell you

No matter what they do

No matter what they teach you

What you believe is true

 

And I will keep you safe and strong

And sheltered from the storm

No matter where it's barren

A dream is being born

 

No matter who they follow

No matter where they lead

No matter how they judge us

I'll be everyone you need

 

No matter if the sun don't shine

Or if the skies are blue

No matter what the end is

My life began with you

 

I can't deny what I believe

I can't be what I'm not

I know, I know

I know this love's forever

That's all that matters now

No matter what
