The fire red flowers of Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja sp.) contrast with the blue hues of Lupin flowers (Lupinus polyphyllus) that are defocused in the background.
Indian Paintbrush plants are partially parasitic (hemiparasitic) on the roots of other plants such as grasses. They also have the ability to concentrate high levels of selenium in their tissues from the soil and can be toxic if the roots or shoots are consumed.

HTmT 😊😊😍
We had to cut back a lot of this tree because it was dying, part of it is growing back, but some of it seems as if it will not come back after its trimming.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster glaucophyllus)
About a month ago I posted an image of our Cotoneaster beginning to bud. The flowers have finally started to open. This partially open flower is around 4 mm in diameter.
A detailed low-angle close-up of ancient Egyptian carvings on a dark stone granite surface with both hieroglyphic inscriptions and figurative representations.
The bas-relief carving is showcasing Seshat, an ancient Egyptian deity - the goddess of wisdom, knowledge, writing -
wearing her distinctive headdress featuring a seven-pointed star and two inverted plumes. She is shown in profile, a common artistic convention in ancient Egyptian art, with her arms extended in a record-keeping gesture.
Another deity figure - Thot - is partially visible to the left, also in profile, interacting with Seshat.
The background and surrounding areas are densely covered with intricate hieroglyphic carvings, which appear to be well-preserved. These inscriptions would likely detail the actions of the figures depicted, religious texts, or historical records related to the monument's construction or purpose.
The play of light and shadow highlights the depth and precision of the carvings, emphasizing the three-dimensional quality of the relief.
The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking upwards, which emphasizes the monumental scale of the carving and the structure it adorns. The natural sunlight casts dramatic shadows that enhance the contours and details of the figures and hieroglyphs.

I liked the way the sunshine partially got through and gave the trees many different shades of green. It really rained a few minutes later.
"Something needs done about "disgrace on the River Leven". Bill Heaney discusses the ugly boat wrecks at Dumbarton Quay which are spoiling the area.
A large apartment complex near Barstow, CA is closed and partially dismantled. There are a number of other abandoned buildings nearby, although there are plenty of new businesses and activity in other areas of Barstow.
Perhaps the decline of nearby mining led to this section of town to contain more abandonments. There are over 12,700 mines near Barstow but over 11,400 are closed. Gold, silver, borax, lead and many other minerals have been mined in the area. In any case, someone started to remove the tile roofs of these buildings and then gave up and left the tiles on site. When I see buildings like this, I always wonder what happened.
Happy Window Wednesday!
Partially unwrapped, and with one bite gone, it's a Milky Way "fun size" bar. Consisting of nougat topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate, each bar weighs just 17 grams and measures two inches in length.

Terwijl er niet minder dan twintig rongenwagens op de losweg van Oosterhout staan, deels nog beladen met buizen, ontvangt Gefco voor het eerst in ruim een jaar weer een autotrein. De 203 101 is op 11 oktober los van Moerdijk naar Lage Zwaluwe gekomen om een sleep beladen Gefco autowagens naar Oosterhout Weststad te brengen. Opvallend genoeg is de trein de dag ervoor met een 186 aangekomen vanuit België. Ruim twee kilometer noordelijker dan de vorige foto passeert de trein een al fraai verkleurde bomenrij.
While there were twenty partially emptied wagons for steel pipes in Oosterhout Weststad, Captrain paid a visit to Gefco for the first time in over a year. Surprisingly, the train arrived from Belgium the day before. Here the 203 101 is on its way to Oosterhout Weststad two kilometers north of the previous photo.

The song thrush breeds in forests, gardens and parks, and is partially migratory with many birds wintering in southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East; it has also been introduced into New Zealand and Australia. Although it is not threatened globally, there have been serious population declines in parts of Europe, possibly due to changes in farming practices.
The song thrush builds a neat mud-lined cup nest in a bush or tree and lays four to five dark-spotted blue eggs. It is omnivorous and has the habit of using a favourite stone as an "anvil" on which to break open the shells of snails. Like other perching birds (passerines), it is affected by external and internal parasites and is vulnerable to predation by cats and birds of prey.
A lone sundown walker.
I titled this sundown image, 'Stranger Danger'......when in all actuality, there were likely no threats at all.
This person may have had a dog on lead.
I especially like how parts of this lone stranger seem to be missing from the image. The light reflections on the bench seat and the top of the backrest, give the illusion that he is partially invisible.

Each and every view, comment and fave are so very much appreciated. Thanks for visiting.......

A photo of an old brick barn with a new steel roof. It still needs some fresh paint on those doors and windows!

Last Friday we went to the 'Land der Tausend Teiche' (that means 'Country of the thousand ponds') near Plothen at Thuringia to watch the sunset. Sadly the horizon was covered by clouds, so we could not see the sunset. But we got a wonderful evening mood with a partially blue sky. The pond in this image is the 'Hausteich' which is the greatest of the nearly 600 ponds in that region.
An der Stelle der Liebfrauenbasilika stand vielleicht schon im 5. Jahrhundert eine Kirche, die als Bischofskirche im römischen castrum Maastricht gedient haben könnte. Der Westteil der heutigen Kirche stammt aus dem 11. Jahrhundert. Die Fundamente des Westwerks wurden wohl um 1000 angelegt und teilweise aus dem Abbruchmaterial des römischen Forts errichtet. Das Kirchenschiff stammt größtenteils aus der zweiten Hälfte des 12. Jahrhunderts, der östliche Chor aus dem dritten Viertel des 12. Jahrhunderts. Bis zur Umwallung der Stadt im Jahr 1229 war die Kirche das Zentrum Maastrichts. Im 14. Jahrhundert wurde an der Liebfrauenkirche eine Pfarrkirche angebaut, von der nichts erhalten ist (Abbruch 1837). 1558 bis 1559 wurde der Kirche ein spätgotischer Kreuzgang angefügt. Nach der französischen Besetzung 1794 wurde das an der Kirche ansässige Liebfrauenstift aufgehoben und die Kirche zeitweise als Pferdestall genutzt. Im 19. Jahrhundert konnte die Kirche wieder für den katholischen Gottesdienst in Gebrauch genommen werden. Bei den Renovierungen des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden die Umbauten des Spätmittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit größtenteils rückgängig gemacht. 1933 wurde die Kirche von Papst Pius XI. zur Basilica minor ernannt. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg erlitt sie leichte Schäden.
At the site of the Basilica of Our Lady perhaps was a church that could have served as a bishop in the Roman church castrum Maastricht early as the 5th century. The western part of the present church dates from the 11th century. The foundations of the west part was probably built around 1000 and partially built from the rubble of the Roman fort. The nave dates mostly from the second half of the 12th century, the eastern choir from the third quarter of the 12th century. Until the ramparts of the city in 1229, the church was the center of Maastricht. In the 14th century parish church was built at the Church of Our Lady of the obtained nothing (abort 1837). 1558-1559 the church is a late Gothic cloister was added. After the French occupation of 1794, based on the Church of Our Lady Pen has been lifted and at times used the church as a stable. In the 19th century the church was commissioned for the Catholic church in use again. When the renovations of the 19th century, the rebuilding of the late Middle Ages and early modern period were largely reversed. 1933, the Church by Pope Pius XI was. for minor basilica appointed. During World War II she suffered minor damage.
The heron with an eel in its mouth is an iconic symbol of Arlington Court. Herons appear on the main gates and elsewhere in the grounds as well as on top of the conservatory which helps give a sense of scale.
This owl has its eyes partially open and is leaning out of its tree cavity because a pair of White-breasted Nuthatches and a lone Black-capped Chickadee decided to try to mob it - behaviour that alerted me to the owl’s presence. I had walked by it twice in different directions, which says something about how much more alert you are if you might be the next meal.
Whenever I return to Ottawa from intensive work events - I often visit locations with high pressure disputes and stay until they are resolved or on the path to resolution - the first thing I do is grab a camera and head out to the woods or the River. Getting out takes me far away from that kind of intensity, and in the healthiest way I know.
And then getting to find an owl makes it even better. Late afternoon light and the leaning out made me think this might be a decent image. I would have liked to get one or more of the mobbing birds in the frame but they were pretty wary, sticking to flying at the owl and then veering back to nearby branches. I quickly secured a dozen images and moved on, with a spring in my step.
Some of the most beautiful plumage on any Screech-owl is on its wing feathers, and the lean out here shows just a glimpse of them.
Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes forming the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera, resulting from the collapse of an earlier, much higher structure.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and several other settlements. The eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ashes and volcanic gases to a height of 33 km, erupting molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 6×105 cubic metres per second. More than 1,000 people are thought to have died in the eruption, though the exact toll is unknown. The only surviving eyewitness account of the event consists of two letters by Pliny the Younger to the historian Tacitus.
Vesuvius has erupted many times since. It is the only volcano on Europe's mainland to have erupted in the last hundred years. It is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because 3,000,000 people live near enough to be affected by an eruption, with 600,000 in the danger zone. This is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world. Eruptions tend to be violent and explosive; these are known as Plinian eruptions.
Vesuvius has a long historic and literary tradition. It was considered a divinity of the Genius type at the time of the eruption of AD 79: it appears under the inscribed name Vesuvius as a serpent in the decorative frescos of many lararia, or household shrines, surviving from Pompeii. An inscription from Capua to IOVI VESVVIO indicates that he was worshipped as a power of Jupiter; that is, Jupiter Vesuvius.
The Romans regarded Mount Vesuvius to be devoted to Hercules. The historian Diodorus Siculus relates a tradition that Hercules, in the performance of his labors, passed through the country of nearby Cumae on his way to Sicily and found there a place called "the Phlegraean Plain", "from a hill which anciently vomited out fire ... now called Vesuvius." It was inhabited by giant bandits, "the sons of the Earth. With the gods' assistance, he pacified the region and continued. The facts behind the tradition, if any, remain unknown, as does whether Herculaneum was named after it. An epigram by the poet Martial in 88 AD suggests that both Venus, patroness of Pompeii, and Hercules were worshipped in the region devastated by the eruption of 79.
The structures on the right of the shot are the remnants of the railway which was built during the construction of the reservoir and they are usually at least partially submerged. High & dry, climate change sure is biting!
Heidelberg Castle is a ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle ruins are among the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps. The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Das Heidelberger Schloss ist eine der berühmtesten Ruinen Deutschlands und das Wahrzeichen der Stadt Heidelberg. Bis zu seiner Zerstörung im Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg war es die Residenz der Kurfürsten von der Pfalz. Seit den Zerstörungen durch die Soldaten Ludwigs XIV. 1689 und der Sprengung durch französische Pioniere am 6. September 1693 wurde das Heidelberger Schloss nur teilweise restauriert.
I did see quite a few fully-blue blue grosbeaks around the Gulf Coast, but I think the partially-blue/non-breeding ones look pretty cool too.

This partially destroyed packhorse bridge on Bodmin Moor in the centre of Cornwall is Grade II-listed and thought to date from the early 1800s. It crosses the stream known as Penpont Water, which subsequently flows through Altarnun. The hamlet of Bowithick is a couple of hundred yards away, just out of shot to the left. On the far side of the bridge is a small stone footbridge and a ford for vehicles. During WWI there was a German prison-of-war camp in the vicinity. The German prisoners were used to mine wolfram and tin at an opencast mine in Buttern Hill immediately to the south-west.
