"Tahanan" in Filipino means a house or a home, but this place I personally call Tahan-an can both mean home and a place where you can cry, sob, and feel comforted all at once. A place not to wander but to let your thoughts wonder and wander on its own, a place to breathe, a safe place to rest.
Probably nothing extraordinary, but me and prof likes it haha. It's always nice to have someone in your life who appreciate the same things you do and you know, someone who will relentlessly listen and correct you.
I'm really glad prof is back ♥
Also I just wanna post this cause this is the first time that I tried landscaping (HAHA), I always thought it will be harder in SL than to do it in RL but it was all fun! My first time trying terrains and falls and ground covers! I usually do simple ones but this one was an opportunity I'm glad to have done.
I call this another milestone after 12 years in SL, finally I had the courage to do something worthwhile hahaha ♥

Never work with animals or children, they said... but they didnt have Azizi. From a very young age, he knows to pose when I have my camera. He gives me several seconds rather than nano seconds (the typical behaviours of my other Lesser Tenrecs!!). But I guess it means that of my 6 Tenrecs, I bring him out to photograph the most!!
This image made it as my choice of acrylic for my bathroom. Hope you like it. Tomorrow I will talk about how they really prefer to bathe!! (no water came into contact with my beautiful boy).
Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).

Butterfly pea flower comes from a plant called clitoria ternatea that's native to Southeast Asia. The flowers are deep blue in color with a tinge of purple. The dried flowers are popular in Southeast Asia to color food like rice and it's also brewed in water to make a blue-colored tea. A drop of Lemon juice will turn Blue in Purple.
Lake O'Hara is one of the best-preserved places in the Canadian Rockies. It sits high in the Canadian Rockies at an elevation of 2,020m (6,627 feet). It is a beautiful sub-alpine glacial lake surrounded by the towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies. There are so many accessible trails starting right from the lake, hikers can easily spend days here without getting bored. But 11-kilometer to the lake in one way from parking lot, you can either take the shuttle or hike in. If you are lucky to reserve the shuttle, you can spare this 22-kilometer walking, save the energy to climb 10~20 kilometers mountains. Access to Lake O’Hara is strictly controlled with a reservation system, which means that it is never crowded.
Luckily got camping reservation for 3 days, it was pure nature without cell signals and electricity. Unfortunately, it was raining and cloudy most of time, plus the forest fire from Jasper, the sky was covered with foggy most of time. Here is the view of Lake O'Hara and adjacent Mary Lake, the crystal-clear lakes, hanging valleys, towering snow-capped mountains, and the pristine nature that shows the best Yoho National Park has to offer.

This palace, which means ‘Stone House’, contains Khiva’s most sumptuous interior decoration, dense with blue ceramic tiles, carved wooden pillars and elaborate ghanch. Built by Allakuli Khan between 1832 and 1841 as a more splendid alternative to the Kuhna Ark, it’s said to have more than 150 rooms off nine courtyards, with high ceilings designed to catch the slightest desert breeze. Allakuli was a man in a hurry – the Tosh-Hovli’s first architect was executed for failing to complete the job in two years.
Thraupis palmarum (Palm Tanager / Tángara palmera)
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Palm Tanager is one of the most widespread and familiar birds of the neotropics, from Nicaragua south to southern Brazil. They are common at forest borders, but also occur in the canopy of the interior of forest. As the name suggests, Palm Tanagers often are associated with palm trees, but by no means are they restricted to living in palms.

Hello there! I hope all is well. I am here featuring DRD and Jian in this interior of one of the trailers seen yesterday. One post was not enough! Many of these items are from the new Trailer Park Gacha key new to DRD's mainstore. I am using the larger trailer but you can also decorate inside the smaller one. There is some nice furniture for the inside and here are some of my favs in this living/bedroom space. My cute animals are from Jian. I even found a space for my favorite chicken! They just add so much personality to a space. I love decorating with animals. I have full details of everything on the blog. Feel free to take a look. I appreciate it! Have a blessed day and week ahead. xoxo <3333 Ebony

Violet-capped woodnymph (Thalurania glaucopis)
Portuguese ID: Beija flor de fronte violeta
Its scientific name means: from (Greek) thalos = child, descendant of; and ouranos = sky, celestial, referring to the blue of the sky; and Greek (glaukos = bluish-gray). ⇒ Bluish gray bird, son of the sky blue.
It measures about 11.1 centimeters, and his tongue that when stretched reaches 4 centimeters, feeds on nectar. Sometimes it pierces the flower tuft outside, directly attacking its precious liquid.
But this species has already been observed hunting insects and small spiders as it flies, with rapid maneuvers.

Each time you fall in love
It's clearly not enough
You sleep all day and drive out in L.A
It isn't safe
And each time you kiss a girl
You never know what it's worth
You say all of the words they wanna hear
It isn't real
She took you for a ride in summer baby
Lost all your money to her
All I wanna know is if you love her
How come you never give in
Each time you have a dream
You never know what it means
You see that open road and never know which way to go
And each time you fall in love
It's clearly not enough
You sleep all day and drive out in L.A
It isn't safe
She took you for a ride in summer baby
Lost all your money to her
All I wanna know is if you love her
How come you never give in
We had arrived well before sunrise in the dark, which meant trying to find our compositions before we could gauge where the sun would rise, so I took a number of test shots, which as a RAW looked very dark, so I didn't bother with them...however, the gloom of a British Christmas means that I need to pass the long, dark evenings, so decided to have a look, and with a bit of fiddling these wonderful dawn colours emerged. The glow comes from reflected light from the pre-sunrise sky, adding these rather strange tones to the red rocks and the canyon floor a few thousand feet below. I hope the fiddling was worth it and it doesn't look too weird!
The new year means a new beginning, like this group of young beech trees in the middle of a spruce forest.
There was a time when my homeland was covered with huge old beech forests. Forests that had grown over thousands of years. Not only were they the defining habitat, also for my ancestors, they were also an important part of our culture. My ancestors, the Germanic tribes, lived in these forests. The Romans can sing a song about how well adapted we were to this habitat.
The massive trunks of trees were the pillars of our cathedrals and our high priests read the signs from small sticks of beech wood (the beech stick formed later the the german word for letter).
But then came the industrial revolution and with it the insatiable hunger for fuel and fast-growing building materials and with it the invention of the spruce monoculture.
The forest fires and the bark beetle have been showing us how successful this grandiose idea was for several years. Human history is full of such overwhelming ideas and as you can currently see we are not through with them yet.
I'm all the happier when I see something like this. Young beeches, which establish their own biotope in the middle of the spruces and are getting ready to restore the old stable condition of the forest.
Unfortunately, this process will take another two or three hundred years and it will be difficult for me to photograph the final end result.
Das neue Jahr steht für einen Neuanfang, so wie diese Gruppe aus jungen Buchen mitten in einem Fichtenwald.
Es gab eine Zeit, da war meine Heimat bedeckt von riesigen alten Buchenwäldern. Wälder, die über tausende Jahre gewachsen waren. Sie waren nicht nur der bestimmenden Lebensraum, auch für meine Vorfahren, sie waren auch ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Kultur. In diesen Wäldern lebten meine Vorfahren, die germanischen Stämme. Die Römer können ein Lied davon singen, wie gut wir an diesen Lebensraum angepasst waren.
Die massiven Baumstämme waren die Säulen unserer Kathedralen und unsere hohen Priester lasen die Zeichen aus kleinen Stäben aus Buchenholz (daher schreiben wir mit Buchstaben - Buchen Stäbe).
Doch dann kam die industrielle Revolution und mit ihr der unstillbare Hunger nach Brennstoff und schnell wachsendem Baumaterial und mit ihm die Erfindung der Fichtenmonokultur.
Wie erfolgreich diese grandiose Idee war beweissen uns seit einigen Jahren die Waldbrände und der Borkenkäfer. Die menschliche Geschichte in voll von solchen überwältigenden Ideen und wie man gerade sieht, sind wir damit auch bis heute noch nicht durch.
Um so mehr freue ich mich, wenn ich so etwas sehe. Junge Buchen, die in Mitten der Fichten ein eigene Biotop begründen und sich bereit machen, den alten stabilen Zustand des Waldes wieder herzustellen.
Bedauerlicherweise wird dieser Prozess noch zwei-, dreihundert Jahre dauern und es wird schwer für mich das finale Endergebnis zu fotografieren.

Spoonbills are a genus, Platalea, of large, long-legged wading birds. The spoonbills have a global distribution, being found on every continent except Antarctica. The genus name Platalea derives from Latin and means broad, referring to the distinctive shape of the bill. Six species are recognised, which although usually placed in a single genus have sometimes been split into three genera. All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill—an insect, crustacean, or tiny fish—it is snapped shut. Spoonbills generally prefer fresh water to salt but are found in both environments. They need to feed many hours each day. The spoonbills are most distinct from the ibises in the shape of their bill, which is long and flat and wider at the end. The nostrils are located near the base of the bill so that the bird can breathe while the bill is submerged in water. The eyes are positioned to provide spoonbills with binocular vision, although when foraging tactile senses are important too. Like the ibises the spoonbills have bare patches of skin around the bills and eyes. The six species of spoonbill are distributed over much of the world.
Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 48963

Buff-banded Rail
Scientific Name: Gallirallus philippensis
Description: The Buff-banded Rail is a medium-sized stout rail with short legs. It has a distinctive grey eyebrow and an orange-brown band on its streaked breast. The lores, cheek and hindneck are rich chestnut. The chin and throat are grey, the upperparts streaked brown and the underparts barred black and white. The eye is red. Young birds are much paler to white underneath, with indistinct bars and only a faint orange-brown tint on the breast. Downy chicks are fluffy black. This rail walks slowly, with tail raised and flicking constantly.
Similar species: The orange-brown breast band distinguishes the Buff-banded Rail from the similar but smaller Lewin's Rail,Dryolimnas pectoralis, which has a rich chestnut crown and nape and a proportionally longer pink bill.
Distribution: The Buff-banded Rail is widespread in mainland Australia, particularly along the eastern coast and islands, and on Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. It is also found in south-east Asia, New Guinea and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Buff-banded Rail is seen singly or in pairs in dense reeds and vegetation bordering many types of wetlands or crops. It makes widespread use of artificial wetlands like sewage ponds and drainage channels.
Seasonal movements: The Buff-banded Rail is resident and possibly locally nomadic, though little is known of these movements.
Feeding: The Buff-banded Rail feeds on crustaceans, molluscs, insects, seeds, fruit, frogs, carrion and refuse. It mostly feeds early in the morning and the evening.
Breeding: Breeding is poorly known, but the Buff-breasted Rail nests in long grass, tussocks, rushes or crops. It makes an unlined cup-shaped nest of grasses or reeds. Both parents incubate and the young will leave the nest within 24 hours. Both parents remain with the young, which usually feed themselves, though the female may feed them as well. Two broods may be raised in some seasons.
Calls: Loud creaky squeak when breeding but usually silent.
Minimum Size: 28cm
Maximum Size: 33cm
Average size: 31cm
Average weight: 130g
Breeding season: September to February
Clutch Size: 5 to 8 eggs
Incubation: 19 days
Nestling Period: 1 days

ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΜΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ
... Γνώμες, καρδιές, όσοι Έλληνες,
ό,τι είστε, μην ξεχνάτε,
δεν είστε από τα χέρια σας
μονάχα, όχι. Χρωστάτε
και σε όσους ήρθαν, πέρασαν,
θα ‘ρθούνε, θα περάσουν.
Κριτές, θα μας δικάσουν
οι αγέννητοι, οι νεκροί...
