Good morning all,
When the snow recedes from the mountain of Bīrah Magrūn, in Iraqi Kurdistan, we rediscover an oak forest, which stretches out on its sides. In the 1980s, the forest was still very dense, and leopards were frequently observed roaming the woods. Today, the oaks are much more sparse, and suddenly stop halfway up the slope: illegal logging has brought down the massif, to such an extent that only a waste land remains, where the herds of goats graze the last stumps of trees cut down by the sun.
With deforestation, the habitat of the Persian panther, also known as the Iranian leopard, has been devastated. The Kurdish mountain is one of the last refuges in the world for this endangered species, of which there are only 800 to 1,200 specimens.
I hope you like the shot! ⚡️
Have a lovely day everybody ! 🌿

"Persian Onagers are the fastest member of the horse family, and can sustain a 50km/hr pace with short bursts at 70km/hr.
Persian Onagers feed on grass and succulent plants. They travel long distances to reach feeding grounds in the winter and to find watering holes in the summer."

At a recent potluck, one of my friend's made this amazing Persian Love cake. Needless to say, I ate the majority of it. She had added rose water as one of the ingredients and I think that did the trick to get the yummy taste

Ranunculus /ræˈnʌŋkjʊləs/[1] is a large genus of about 600 species of plants in the Ranunculaceae. Members of the genus include the buttercups, spearworts, water crowfoots and the lesser celandine. The petals are often highly lustrous, especially in yellow species. Buttercups usually flower in the spring, but flowers may be found throughout the summer, especially where the plants are growing as opportunistic colonizers, as in the case of garden weeds.
The Water crowfoots (Ranunculus subgenus Batrachium), which grow in still or running water, are sometimes treated in a separate genus Batrachium (from Greek βάτραχος batrachos, "frog"). They have two different leaf types, thread-like leaves underwater and broader floating leaves. In some species, such as R. aquatilis, a third, intermediate leaf type occurs.
Ranunculus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Hebrew Character and Small Angle Shades. Some species are popular ornamental flowers in horticulture, with many cultivars selected for large and brightly coloured flowers.
If ever in you’re in Thunder Bay, Ont. there’s one thing you absolutely must do: treat yourself to a Persian.
No, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Middle East. In Thunder Bay, a “Persian” is an oval-shaped pastry that’s fried and frosted with pink berry icing. It’s a local delicacy with deep roots in this Northern Ontario town.
“It’s similar to a cinnamon bun,” says Danny Nucci, owner of the legendary Bennett’s Bakery and The Persian Man in Thunder Bay. “What makes it different from anything else is the icing on top. It’s not overly sweet. But it gives you a good feeling.”
This prized pastry was first created in the 1940s by Art Bennett, the original founder of Bennett’s Bakery (formerly called “Art Bennett’s”). As the story goes, he named the sweet treat after John Joseph “Black Jack” Pershing, an American World War I General who allegedly visited his bakery while he was making the dough. As a result of this memorable meeting, Bennett dubbed his now-famed pastry a “Persian.”
“General Black Jack Pershing happened to make his way to Thunder Bay and pull into Bennett’s Bakery,” says Nucci. “He and Art Bennett were talking, while Art was producing a newly formed product. They hit it off and he named it after him.”
Since then, Thunder Bay locals have been raised on these Persian doughnuts, even hosting eating competitions and selling them for community fundraisers. They’ll tell you that it’s a “must-eat” dish if you’re in town. Today, Bennett’s Bakery sells the dessert at their popular coffee shop, The Persian Man, as well as in packs of four at local grocery stores.
“The formula hasn’t changed, the recipe hasn’t changed,” says Nucci. “So it’s still the same goodness that you used to get since its conception in the mid-1940s.”
