"Tremella mesenterica (common names include yellow brain, golden jelly fungus, yellow trembler, and witches' butter) is a common jelly fungus in the Tremellaceae family of the Agaricomycotina. It is most frequently found on dead but attached and on recently fallen branches, especially of angiosperms, as a parasite of wood decay fungi in the genus Peniophora. The gelatinous, orange-yellow fruit body of the fungus, which can grow up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) diameter, has a convoluted or lobed surface that is greasy or slimy when damp. It grows in crevices in bark, appearing during rainy weather. Within a few days after rain it dries into a thin film or shriveled mass capable of reviving after subsequent rain. This fungus occurs widely in deciduous and mixed forests and is widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions that include Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. Although considered bland and flavorless, the fungus is edible. Tremella mesenterica produces carbohydrates that are attracting research interest because of their various biological activities.
The fruit body has an irregular shape, and usually breaks through the bark of dead branches. It is up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) broad and 2.5 to 5.0 cm (1.0 to 2.0 in) high, rounded to variously lobed or brain-like in appearance. The fruit body is gelatin-like but tough when wet, and hard when dry. The surface is usually smooth, the lobes translucent, deep yellow or bright yellow-orange, fading to pale yellow, rarely unpigmented and white or colorless. The fruit bodies dry to a dark reddish or orange. The spores, viewed in mass, are whitish or pale yellow." - WiKi
"De gele trilzwam (Tremella mesenterica) is een trilzwam uit de familie Tremellaceae.
De gele trilzwam is het gehele jaar door, maar vooral in voorjaar en late herfst, te vinden op takken van loofbomen en struiken. De soort is algemeen in België en Nederland.
Het vruchtlichaam heeft een doorsnede van 1 tot 5 cm en is onregelmatig hersenachtig geplooid. Het komt tevoorschijn uit spleten in boomschors en is eerst geel en later bleekgeel gekleurd. In droge toestand verandert de substantie van geleiachtig tot kraakbeenachtig taai en ook donkerder van kleur." - WiKi

Mount Santubong's name may have been derived from the Iban word for coffin, but various Chinese derivations have also been suggested (San approximating the word for mountain in many dialects), as well Bidayuh, in whose lands the names of many hills start with S. Investigators have made ascents of the steep mountain to find places of archaeological interest. Around its foot are signs of Hindu occupation which are hundreds of years old which have been investigated by the Sarawak Museum. It was also the home of the early Sarawak Malays until they were driven up to Kuching in about the 1850s owing to continual attacks from the powerful Saribas Dayaks.[citation needed]
The mountain is made of sandstone, although it has been confused by many with limestone tower karst, or a volcanic plug: smaller versions of both appear not far inland. For a long time it interested those in search of gold but without success. There used to be an old theory that all the gold in the First Division of Sarawak lies in a straight line between Bau and Santubong which has some support in that there is a certain amount of gold in the mountain since fishermen in the past used to depend for their livelihood during the monsoon seasons, when the sea was too rough for fishing, by panning gold in the small mountain streams from which they could expect to gain an average of twenty dollars a month.
In this picture you get to see all the "4 iconic Santubongs" of Sarawak.

The name Malapascua, was coined to mean bad christmas . But still some confusion what actually this means . It was dubbed by the Spaniards whose ship stranded on the island on Christmas Day 1520. There were discussions about what the name actually stands for. Mal means ’bad’ in Cebuano but while ’pasco’ means Christmas in Cebuano, ’pascua’ means easter in Spanish.
"Malapascua is a small island located in the Visayan Sea on the northern tip of Cebu Island. The island is approximately 2.5 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide. You can walk around it in two to three hours. Even if it is situated in one of the most developed provinces it appears a world apart from the mainland. Around 4000 people inhabit the small island which do not have any paved roads or cars.
A local fisherman put Malapascua on the map when he discovered thresher sharks jumping out of the water when fishing near the dive site we refer to as Monad Shoal more than 20 years ago. Since then the island has gained more and more popularity and is by many regarded as the top destination in the world to watch thresher sharks. However, diving around Malapascua is not only thresher sharks. Divers are spoilt with a wide range of macro-, muck- and wreck diving...."

This cat doesn't have a name yet. Of all the ones that regularly visit my garden (there are about ten of them now) he is definitely the most cheeky and impertinent. He rubs himself on my legs and on those of any other person and demands cuddles but above all food! Then he takes a nap maybe on the roof of my car, as in this case. Finally he goes away as he came. I think he has owners who look for him during the day but only find him in the evening when he comes home. And what do you think?
Petra is a name with a long history and great popularity in the world. The name Petra comes from Greek and means "rock". It was often used in ancient times as a nickname for women who were strong and independent.
The name Petra comes from Greek and means "rock". Therefore, stones that are associated with strength, steadfastness and grounding fit well with the name Petra.
Tell me, where does your name come from?
BRIDGE NAME: Ritner Creek Covered Bridge
COUNTY: Polk
STREAM: Ritner Creek
NEAREST TOWN: Pedee
STATUS: Open to pedestrians
BRIDGE LENGTH: 75 Feet
YEAR BUILT: 1926
RELOCATED AND REPLACED: 1976
ADDED TO NRHP: November 29, 1979
Other Notes: Ritner Creek Bridge was named for a pioneer, Sebastian Ritner, who arrived in Oregon in 1845. Some of his descendants still live in this area.
Also, if you look closely, you'll notice the bridge is covered front to back with Boxelder Bugs. They're attracted to warm surfaces and the sun had been out most of the day. Solid wood structures retain heat and are perfect for sunbathing creatures.
a very peculiar wader / shorebird, not only because of its double name but more so because of its behavior.
From Wikipedia:
"The red phalarope or grey phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius) is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, migrates mainly on oceanic routes, wintering at sea on tropical oceans.
The typical avian sex roles are reversed in the three phalarope species. Females are larger and more brightly coloured than males. The females pursue males, compete for nesting territory, and will aggressively defend their nests and chosen mates. Once the females lay their olive-brown eggs, they begin their southward migration, leaving the males to incubate the eggs and care for the young. Three to six eggs are laid in a ground nest near water. Incubation lasts 18 or 19 days. The young mainly feed themselves and are able to fly within 18 days of birth.
The red phalarope is about 21 cm (8.3 in) in length, with lobed toes and a straight bill, somewhat thicker than that of red-necked phalarope. The breeding female is predominantly dark brown and black above, with red underparts and white cheek patches. The bill is yellow, tipped black. The breeding male is a duller version of the female. Young birds are light grey and brown above, with buff underparts and a dark patch through the eye. In winter, the plumage is essentially grey above and white below, but the black eyepatch is always present. The bill is black in winter.
When feeding, a red phalarope will often swim in a small, rapid circle, forming a small whirlpool. This behaviour is thought to aid feeding by raising food from the bottom of shallow water. The bird will reach into the outskirts of the vortex with its bill, plucking small insects or crustaceans caught up therein. They sometimes fly up to catch insects in flight. On the open ocean, they are found in areas where converging ocean currents produce upwellings and are often found near groups of whales. Outside of the nesting season they often travel in flocks."

Some dear friends call me Haze, instead of Hazel
My husband had the idea of gathering some hazelnuts from under the hazel trees near our stream. They are a bit wobbly to 'write' with which suits me fine.........
I'm also thinking of chocolate and hazel nuts.
And squirrels who missed these ones.
And my background for Haze had to be purple.
Smile on Saturday...! My name is.......
I suppose you would call these baffles (the crashpad part on the mooring). There was an array of them for the ferry to moor between. It looked kind of like a cheerful robot to me. We were crossing the Bay to help my parents move into their new place in Point Lonsdale.
There are names that go through the generations with calm persistence. Names that heal a person just for taking them, and names that destroy. Names that travel, names that bring you home, names that you only mutter in the deep waters of your sleep...
-Louise Erdrich from the novel Four Souls
What's your name? The title is twofold: what is the name of these people without a life, without a home, without perhaps even a roof over their heads... what is the destiny of their lives, far from everything and full of hopes, stranded on this piece of pavement... And what is the name of the person who will buy them a few letters to make up a name that will restore hope?

Quel est votre nom? Ce titre est double: quel est le nom de ces personnes sans plus de vie, sans plus de chez soi, sans peut-être même de toit… quel est la destinée de leur vie loin de tout et pleine d’espoirs échoués sur ce bout de trottoir… Et quel est le nom de celui qui leur achètera quelques lettres pour constituer un nom qui redonnera de l’espoir.

Wybung Head, perched in the Munmorah State Conservation Area, is the kind of place that earns its name. "Wybung" is a local Aboriginal word meaning "Dangerous Sea," and this headland delivers on that promise with sheer, unfenced cliffs and an ocean that is perpetually trying to lull unwary rock fisherman, and photographers, to their grave.
The headland offers 270-degree views of the coastline, and on a clear day, you can see for miles—just don’t get too close to those crumbly edges. Whale watchers and ocean gazers find plenty to love here. However, shade and shelter are entirely absent, and the wind shows no mercy. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon when the temperature soared into the 30s °C and the wind gusted at 40 km/h. I’ve never felt closer to understanding life inside an air fryer.
After edging uncomfortably close to the edge of the crumbly cliffs at the end of the headland for the obligatory heart-stopping views, we decided to head down to the cheerily named Deadman’s Beach. Because why wouldn’t you follow up a stop at "Dangerous Sea" with a jaunt to "Deadman’s Beach"? “Track” is a generous term—it’s more like a gravity experiment with added rocks. From there, we scrambled around the rockshelf to Frazer Beach for a swim. The ocean has never felt so refreshing! The crowd (about a dozen people) wasn’t ideal, but hey, its school holidays, and the nearby campground explains the human influx.
This photo captures Wybung Head itself, though its sheer scale is hard to convey. If you squint, you might spot a post with a lifejacket at the end of the rockshelf to the bottom right of Wybung, a small but poignant reminder of the dangers of the seas at this beautiful place.
Have a great week out there.
Thanks for all the kind comments , they are always greatly appreciated.
Chives, scientific name Allium schoenoprasum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae that produces edible leaves and flowers. Their close relatives include the common onions, garlic, shallot, leek, scallion, and Chinese onion.
A perennial plant, it is widespread in nature across much of Europe, Asia, and North America.
A. schoenoprasum is the only species of Allium native to both the New and the Old Worlds.
There are girls named Dahlia.
Also the bee on the Dahlia translates to Deborah, which is the Hebrew word for Bee :-)))))

Scientific Name: Mola mola (Linnaeus, 1758)
O peixe-lua é o maior peixe ósseo do mundo, podendo atingir mais de 3 metros de comprimento e pesar mais de duas toneladas!
Esta criatura dócil deita-se frequentemente à superfície da água, deixando-se levar pela corrente. Este comportamento permite-lhe equilibrar a temperatura corporal após consecutivos mergulhos em águas profundas e mais frias.
Apesar da sua fisionomia bizarra o peixe-lua é um animal gracioso pela coloração prateada e pelo lento movimentar das suas duas enormes barbatanas.
As fêmeas produzem até 300 milhões de ovos de cada vez, que são libertados para a água e fecundados pelos machos. As larvas passam por três estágios de desenvolvimento em que o peixe perde a barbatana caudal e ganha uma série de espinhos conspícuos.
O peixe-lua destaca-se por transportar uma impressionante carga de parasitas. Até à data a comunidade científica identificou cerca de 50 espécies diferentes, entre parasitas internos e externos!
Devido à sua natureza delicada e aos movimentos lentos, estes peixes são facilmente capturados por redes à deriva e por outros métodos de pesca. Como consequência as populações poderão estar em declínio.
Sunfishes are the largest bony fish in the World, reaching more than 3 meters in length and weighing in at over 2 tons!
These docile creatures often lie on their sides on the surface of the water and drift in the current. This behaviour helps them adjust body temperatures after consecutive dives in deeper, colder water.
Despite their unusual appearance, sunfishes are graceful animals, with their silvery glow and slow mesmerizing movements of the two huge fins.
Females release up to 300 million of eggs in the water, which will later be fertilized by passing males. Developing larvae undergo three separate stages, some featuring numerous odd-looking spines and also the loss of a tail fin.
Sunfishes are notorious amongst the scientific community for carrying enormous parasite loads. More than 50 internal and external parasite species have been identified so far.
Because of their delicate nature and slow movements, sunfishes easily fall prey to drift nets and other fishing methods. Their numbers are suspected to be steadily declining as a result.
Grandpa had no sons, therefore when his daughter married and she took on the name of her husband, Grandpa's name will fade with the memory of him after his life. These are the things he was reflecting on as he watched his precious granddaughter play.
The name Dana is known allover the world. It's a female and as well a male name. So in many languages there are translations for this name
in arabic = precious pearl
in bengali/sanskrit = small grain
in celtic = Mother Earth or Mother Goddess
in Slavic = God's gift
in Norwegian = the beauty
in Kurdish = the first
in Persian = wise, clever
in Turkish = little calf
in Georgian = knife
Despite its name, the small skipper is not our smallest skipper, although it is smaller than the large skipper: the other skipper likely to occur in gardens.
Like its larger cousin, the small skipper is often found basking on vegetation, or making short buzzing flights among tall grass stems.
It is a small, bright orange, moth-like butterfly that flies rapidly and often has its wings closed at rest. It is less boldly marked on its upperwings than the large skipper.
This butterfly is widespread in southern Britain and is expanding its range northwards. There is a single generation each year.
Eggs are laid in late July and early August. The caterpillars emerge some two weeks later.
What they eat:
Adults nectar at flowers. The caterpillars feed on Yorkshire fog grass.

According to local legend, Helfštýn is named after the robber Helfried of Linva, who founded it. The castle was probably built in the last quarter of the 13th century. Around 1320 Vok of Kravař, a member of a prominent Moravian noble family, became the owner of the castle. Helfštýn remained in the possession of the Kravař family for more than a hundred years and underwent far-reaching structural changes during this period. Construction work began on a larger scale in the first half of the 14th century, but the main reconstruction of the castle into a Gothic fortress did not take place until the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The Kravařs mainly improved the fortifications of Helfštýn. They replaced the makeshift fortification of the old parkland with a thick stone wall with four bastions, built a prismatic tower over the entrance to the castle itself and secured it with a drawbridge, built a fortified forecourt on the south side and cut the ridge of the hill with a moat carved into the rock.
The era of the Pernštejn family
In 1474, William of Pernštejn took over the castle estate and proceeded to its further reconstruction. In the last quarter of the 15th century,
Helfštýn Castle was enlarged with a thoroughly fortified, extensive farm forecourt (completed in 1480) and another forecourt, which formed a new outpost defending the entire enlarged building. At the same time, the fortifications of the old Kravaře castle were improved with bastions and a new system of towers and gates. The castle's ground plan was definitively given an elongated shape, and in its external form the perfect fortification system significantly overlapped all the other architectural elements.
Renaissance reconstruction
At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the inner core of the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. The old castle palace was demolished, along with part of its original Gothic fortifications, and a magnificent Renaissance palace was built on the vacant space, in sharp contrast to the extensive system of late Gothic fortifications that surrounded it.
The destruction of the castle
In 1656, quite extensive demolition work was carried out, which, although it did not damage the fortifications of Helfštýn too much, definitively deprived it of the character of a manor house. And thus began the long-term destruction of the castle. The destruction was accelerated in the second half of the 18th century by the Ditrichstein family with demolition works. These attempts culminated in 1817, when part of the inner castle was destroyed by artillery fire.
Present day
The present-day character of the castle is that of a fortress with six gates and a series of 18th-century buildings and ramparts. Since the 19th century, the castle has been presented as a tourist and heritage site. Nowadays it has become a natural cultural centre of the region, with various cultural events taking place here throughout the season

Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

What an aptly named loadout. 810 has jumped on the loaded train left behind from a Elmore-based "U" crew from earlier this morning. The road crew has traveled up here from Bluefield and there still some more patience to be had as they have to pull the train north and pull the caboose up to the conductor to allow him to ride the shove down the Cub Creek Branch.
I definitely sympathize with the need to pull the train ahead honestly. In the two hours of time to kill waiting for the crew arrive on my last day in West Virginia, I made the trek down to the caboose. It was not easy at all to get to from the road. Especially on a sloppy cold and wet Fall day...

About the English name common to our flower The Botanical Magazine of 1792 remarks sharply: '"Virginia Stock", a name highly improper, as it is found to be a native of the Mediterranean coast'. Regardless, it often after two centuries still goes by that moniker. The scientific name 'Malcolmia maritima' was devised by William Townsend Aiton (1766-1849) in 1812, to honor famous English nurseryman William Malcolm (fl.1750-1789). Earlier (e.g. by great Linnaeus) it had gone by the generic name 'Cheiranthus'.
This pretty little flower hails originally from the coasts of Greece and Albania but has become naturalised all over the world. Its colors move from white to yellow and a variety of pinks and purples and sometimes even red.
