At first I thought this was a Black and Red Blister Beetle, but I'm not so sure because of its hairy head. Perhaps one of you with more bug experience will be able to help ID. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and weekend!

Mein Name ist Aarany.....
My name is Aarany.....
I'm sad
you want to know my name ?
I wonder why
you will go home and maybe
remember me
but not for my name
but for the look in my eye
if you look you will see
a sadness that
overcomes me
each day is the same
come rain or shine
you all come and stare
point fingers at me
some shout
I hear you
but do you hear me ?
my name is Aarany.....
what does it mean . . .
what does it matter
as you walk away
you mutter Arary . . .

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily but I’m skipping it this time since we have a very unique and interesting theme at Looking close on Friday this week. The theme is : "My Name is…" and it must be a black and white picture. Dont worry the blue color will be back next Friday… unless there is another awesome theme incompatible with the blue color…)
So here we go, my name is : Magdalena aka Magda627.
Now you know almost everything there is to know about me :-).
I hope you will like my picture my friends !! See you later and have an amazing day !!

The name 'Generalife' means 'garden of the architect'. The Generalife is located on the hill Cerro del Sol, adjacent to the Alhambra. Originally it was most probably an architect's house that later passed to the Arab kings and was remodelled. The Generalife is composed of a series of large gardens, where every corner holds a novelty and a pleasant surprise for the eyes, with a minimum of obtrusive buildings.
The Patio is the true heart of the Generalife. Here, Arab sensuality becomes sparse yet spiritual.
The most beautiful and striking features in the Generalife gardens are the plants, the water with its continuous interplay with light, and its sounds.

Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles can also occur all over the plant – on the stem and on the flat parts of the leaves. These prickles are an adaptation that protects the plant from being eaten by herbivores. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape similar to a cup or urn subtends each of a thistle's flowerheads. The comparative amount of spininess varies dramatically by species. For example, Cirsium heterophyllum has minimal spininess while Cirsium spinosissimum is the opposite. Typically, species adapted to dry environments have greater spininess. The term thistle is sometimes taken to mean precisely those plants in the tribe Cardueae (synonym: Cynareae), especially the genera Carduus, Cirsium, and Onopordum. However, plants outside this tribe are sometimes called thistles, and when this is done, "thistles" would form a polyphyletic group. A thistle is the floral emblem of Scotland and Lorraine, as well as the emblem of the Encyclopædia Britannica. Biennial thistles are particularly noteworthy for their high wildlife value, producing such things as copious floral resources for pollinators, nourishing seeds for birds like the goldfinch, foliage for butterfly larvae, and down for the lining of birds' nests. 12710
The name and various other features of Brill were used by J. R. R. Tolkien as the basis for the village of Bree in The Lord of the Rings. He also used other nearby places in Oxfordshire as part of the Shire, sometimes using the same names, such as Buckland. [From Wikipedia]

Roadrunners are aptly named. While they can fly, it seems they do a lot more ground travel. And they can outpace a human in a footrace. But, unlike the cartoons, they cannot outpace a coyote. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a coyote may top out at a speed of 43 mph (~69 kph) while the roadrunner is only about 1/2 that speed. Still impressive though! They're very well adapted to the Desert Southwest, getting a lot of their moisture from the foods they eat like small juicy mammals or reptiles. Greater roadrunners are roughly the size of a crow (ish). Roadrunners are in the Cuckoo family of birds. (just learned that today 😁)

For Smile on Saturday 'my name is...'
My mum named me after the heroine of this book as well as Lady Emma Hamilton (mistress of Lord Nelson) and Emma Peel from the iconic 60s tv show The Avengers. Much as I love Jane Austen, I always thought the last one was by far the coolest :)

Have we played this game before? I went back to my favorite abandoned car lot the other day and lo and behold something new has been moved in. It looks a bit like a Saab to me, but I am not that knowledgeable about cars. This car was a hideous lime green at one time, but was repainted white. It must have been done at an Earl Scheib Paint Shop, because it didn’t take.
Anyway, who will be the first to name the make? Extra bonus points are awarded for the year.
Inscribed on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague are the names of the ca.78,000 Czech Jews murdered by the Nazis.
Schie is the name for four waterways in the area of Overschie, South Holland, the Netherlands. There are the Delftse Schie, the Delfshavense Schie, the Rotterdamse Schie and the Schiedamse Schie. The existence of these four streams is the result of medieval rivalry among the cities of Delft, Rotterdam, and Schiedam for toll rights.
In 1903, a dike broke near Kandelaar, nearly draining the entire Schie into the low-lying surrounding fields.
In 1933, the Coolhaven (Cool harbor) was completed that provided a new and better connection between the Delfshavense Schie and the Nieuwe Maas, reducing the shipping on the other Schie canals.
After the bombardment of Rotterdam at the beginning of World War II, the rubble of the ruined city was used to backfill the Rotterdamse Schie. Only a small section at Overschie remains of the Rotterdamse Schie.
In 1989, the Delftse Schie between Delft and Rotterdam was transferred from municipal to provincial jurisdiction.
The Delfshavense Schie is now the main shipping connection between the Delftse Schie and Nieuwe Maas. Furthermore, it is also used for water management. On the other hand, the Rotterdamse Schie is mostly infilled and the Schiedamse Schie is little used for boating.

Come in my room tonight
Undress in the dying light
Where I have been waiting for you These days it’s all I ever do
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand
This winter has been very long
I’ve hardly ever seen anyone
But spring has come and everything’s new
Now I have been sleeping with you
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand
When I lie awake
Dreams of dread and wonder Dance before my eyes
Was this really meant for me?
Oh, my God, what a nice surprise!
When will I see you again?
There’s a line in the palm of my hand
That’s running deep and red as love
You take me with you when you fall
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name
Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand
Just for once in my life
I wanna know that what I got is good enough
Guess we all will have our time
Must be a moment when it all adds up
So, when will I see you again? Baby, it’s not over, it’s not over
Just some messing around with butterfly images. Sixteen cropped macros featuring fourteen species (two are featured twice), all of which are native to the UK. The first person to name them all correctly gets to be the first person to name them all correctly.
Scotch Argus Butterfly:
Despite its name, the Scotch Argus is not only found in Scotland; it is also found at two sites in the north of England. A freshly emerged Scotch Argus is a sight to behold; the dark brown velvety upper sides making the butterfly appear almost jet black from a distance. The butterfly is unmistakable when seen basking with its wings open, when orange bands containing distinctive spots are revealed. This butterfly lives in well-defined colonies that are often very large.
Like the Mountain Ringlet, the ability of this butterfly to survive cool temperatures means that it was probably one of the first species to recolonise the British Isles after the last ice age, over 10,000 years ago. The English colonies, Arnside Knott and Smardale Gill, are both found in Westmorland. Colonies are much more numerous in Scotland, where this butterfly can be found in most of northern, western and southwest Scotland. This butterfly is absent from the lowlands of central Scotland, many of the western isles (including the Outer Hebrides), Orkney and Shetland.
