"Close Encounters Of The Buzz Kind" :-)
Had the privilege of witnessing a rare phenomenon in our own back garden last Bank Holiday Monday!
Our garden birds suddenly gone quiet and disappeared in a flash!!!
Then, out of nowhere, a massive swarm of honey bees descended from the sky onto one of our pine tree in the back garden! Within a matter of minutes, a large mass of bees was formed and occupied one of the top branch and the truncate of the tree. The noise was unbelievable! it sounded just like watching motorcycles circuit racing event from a distance!
The swarm settled and stayed for few hours before taking off to the sky again and left!
I managed just a few shots of them from a distance.
Here are a couple of Black Lives Matter murals in downtown Raleigh that were created after the death of George Floyd. These can be found on South Wilmington Street in Raleigh, NC.

Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. How times have changed since World Environment Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly 36 years ago. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty. The world has yet to figure out how it will deal with global warming, changing rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea-levels and climate refugees. In many countries defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding their borders against climate refugees, as climate change and scarce resources, forcing millions of climate refugees across the borders.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned. Agriculture and deforestation account for 30 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. These two sectors can therefore contribute to reducing emissions if agricultural practices are changed.
Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress. Experts predict climate change-related stresses -- including disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over scarce resources -- could permanently uproot 200 to 250 million people by mid-century.
According to new technique and research our planet's continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago. We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster.

After the fight it would seem that Julian has taken some damage to his leg after taking the force of the canon flying back words on him after firing it.
"You should take it your body is in need of repair boy," Stated Sir Cyrus stopping and pointing to a place for Julian to rest.
"We have to find Arabella she is a lone! what if she is in danger or worse what if she..." Julian tried to argue before finding him self cut off by Sir Cyrus.
"Your in no shape to go rushing off and we are in need of some one to fix your body if you lose it than the only thing holding your soul will be gone. Do you really think you dying will make Arabella happy?" Said Cyrus as she waited for the young boy to reply.
"We can go slow but we can not stop she needs us I know just know it," said Julian feeling powerless but still knowing he had to do everything he could.
"Still trying for that Kiss I see," Said Sir Cyrus in a playful manner.
"Well yeah all Hero's try to win a kiss," saying Julian as he came to a stand and started slowly moving.
"Yeah the rewords after the kiss are amazing too," said Sir Cyrus as he started to day dream a little bit about a love from long ago.
"WHAT!!! there is more?? Like what?" asked Julian hoping to find out what might come after.
"Your going to have to find out on your own kiddo its just how the Hero game Works," Stated Sir Cyrus laughing under his breath at just how innocent the Boy who tries to act like a man really was.
"Oh Man, No fear!" stated Julian still wandering what comes after the kiss.

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

This is another version of the previous fire engine. Someone suggested this different name, as it reminded him the character from Pixar's movie. My two kid's agreed with this name better.
No matter which path the journey takes you on, there are some people that will always be in your heart.

Dark matter (green) in our galaxy has been revealed for the first time, using a new imaging technique. The distortions in the bands of dark matter are caused by gravity waves. As expected, dark matter is present in enormous amounts. The large, bright objects in front of the dark matter are nearby stars. You can also see a few distant galaxies as irregular bright spots.
ACTUALLY, the dark matter is the algae on the bottom of a local water trough. Our view of it is distorted by ripples in the trough water surface. The "stars" and "galaxies" are just multiple reflections of our sun.
C'mon, we all see more outlandish image claims on the internet all the time. We don't even have to look on the Dark Web--just on Instagram.

The best camera what we have on us,the beautiful sky is a beautiful seen., no matter how many mega pixels you have..
Landscape photography...
Nothing else matters
Does anything else truly matter?
Rules, conditions and constraints, Implications and impositions, the weight of price or value...
Did you carve your life from the stone of your will,
Or did you let it be shaped by hands not your own?
