For Macro Monday's Summer Olympic Sports theme, I went with my favorite sport: Fencing, commonly referred to as physical chess.
After seeing an incredible photo from the 1988 Olympics, I decided I needed to learn how to do it. So I picked it up at Ohio State,and eventually made it onto the sabre team. Good times!
Black Grouse courtship displays often include a behavior known as "jumping display," which is performed by males in combination with wing displays and vocalizations. This behavior adds another layer of complexity to their courtship rituals and is an important component of their mating behavior. The ability to perform vigorous jumps and displays demonstrates the physical fitness and health of male Black Grouse. Females may use these displays to assess the quality of potential mates and choose the most suitable partners for breeding
The physical sun is the realm of the higher souls of the more pure and evolutionary in the Cosmos. Your soul has to be very pure and high evolutionally to be able to enter the heavenly realms of the Sun. All the other angelic souls go the Moon realm and planetary realms and the non so evolutionary souls go to the Nether worlds below Earth, to the Patala underworlds or Ades of the ancient Greeks. Below Ades or Patala is Naraka what we call Hell worlds or Tartara in ancient Greek.
The souls that live now in the Sun realm we may call them gods for they are responsible and guardians of the Earth and the planetary worlds. The fate and destiny of the Earth is in their hands and they control its fate.
Now we enter the Solar maximum when we have many explosions of the sun in the form of flares bombarding our Earth and its (magnetic) atmosphere. These flares now have significant power and energy energising the Earth and its inhabitants. The flares that hit the Earth in this period of Solar maximum will have a great spiritual and energetic and purifying effect in all beings now living on Earth. The physical beings now living on Earth even the plants and animals will have to be purified in order to withstand these higher energies coming from the Sun. Not everyone will manage to withstand these purifications waves coming from the sun and many will succumb to them not being able to withstanding its energies for they have not been prepared by God to handle these high elevated energies. Many will suffer from illnesses and various karmas not being able to handle these purifying energies. The purification of the energy of the sun will continue non stop through this year and the next till all that remains on Earth is purified.
Many souls knew this coming and had prepare themselves by purifying their bodies with pure sathwic foods and purifying their minds and heart with godly thoughts and sentiments loving all Gods creations. The Avatar of the Lord also descended on Earth and gathered the lovers of God beside Him the previous decades and gave them the instructions and teachings necessary to purify their souls and bodies to be able to withstand the purification rays coming from the sun this solar maximum.
From this purification that is now happening from the Sun rays and flares all the consciousness on Earth will rise to an unprecedented level heralding the Golden Age of humanity and closing the Kali Yuga of wars and strife and vengeance among the souls now living on Earth.
The Earth and its inhabitants are now entering a new Era of peace and love and truth and justice after this purification ends in the next two years and only those who will withstand this purification happening now will continue to live and inhabit the Earth.
Only deva, that is God like people will walk on the surface of the Earth during this Golden Age of humanity called by the Veda as the Sathya Yuga, the Age of Truth.
So do not be afraid and in panic for the gods living now in the Sun realm know what are they doing and how they will use the flares that are ejected by the sun. They hold the destiny of Earth in their hands trusted by the almighty God fully in unison with Him. At the right time a big flare will emanate from the Sun that will finish the purification process and then Earth and its inhabitants will shine in a new splendour, the splendour of the Golden Age of Truth !

Porphyrio porphyrio, often known as the Western Swamphen, is a vibrant wetland bird in the rail family, found in southwestern Europe and northwestern Africa.
Unique Physical Characteristics:
Dexterous Feeders: Unlike most birds, swamphens use their large, unwebbed feet like hands to grasp and manipulate food, often bringing it to their beak while standing on one leg.
Massive Feet:
They have exceptionally long toes that act like snowshoes, allowing them to walk easily over floating lily pads and unstable wetland vegetation without sinking.
Frontal Shield:
They possess a prominent, fleshy red "shield" on their forehead that extends from their thick bill, which is a key identification feature.
Behavioral Traits:
Vocal Commotion: Known for being extremely noisy, they make a wide variety of "un-birdlike" sounds, including loud bleating, hooting, and harsh "kak-kak" calls, especially during the breeding season.
Aggressive Nature:
They are surprisingly territorial and aggressive, known to drive away other waterbirds and even prey on the ducklings of other species.
Communal Breeding:
In some regions, they engage in cooperative breeding where previous offspring and other adults help the primary pair with incubation and caring for the new chicks.
Thank you Photoclub for the incentive to get out and try something new again... ♥
So they said let's get physical and sweat. Have you ever done Yoga? They teach you healthy mind/healthy body and visa versa.
So here you go... and you can't go have the burn without your friends in arms with you... One zonked out 15 minutes into the exercise. One started to combust... and of course my faithful little buddies dancing on the music box. Meow decided now was a good time for a cat nap in the sun

For many years this has been a favorite spot for me to visit in the valley where I live.
For reasons unknown, two trees planted apart, growing beautifully on their own yet still together, unified by the rolling contours of the land, the winter wheat and freshly plowed fields.
It has always puzzled me, "Why so far apart?" This is not the norm for trees in this area whose family and friends are often clustered closer together, in little communities of light and life, drawn safe, secure, and, perhaps, with a sense of like-minded belonging away from the bigger land, which they do seem apart from.
Maybe, though, that theme of being apart is really just a misunderstanding...not said and read correctly. Maybe it has less to do with physical proximity and more to do with, regardless of measured yards or miles, being...A Part Of...something bigger and, of course, exponentially more incomprehensible. Not always needing proximity to still be held close by an entanglement of limbs.
I don't really know.
Maybe it's nothing more than a very quiet, pretty site/sight that calls me back...again and again.
Yet in that call, I will not deny, there is an echo of something very ancient...a lingering memory that simply cannot fade.
The Alaska Railroad has no physical connection to the rest of the North American rail network. But that doesn't prevent them from having a robust interchange. The ARR owns a service and interchanges weekly with the BNSF and UP in Seattle via barges owned and operated under contract by Alaska Marine Lines.
The barge pictured here is the Aqua Train (blt 1982) and is owned and operated by Foss Maritime under contract to CN. Whittier is the designated interchange point and once loaded on the barge this is a CN "train." Currently the aqua train makes two round trips per month between Prince Rupert and Whittier.
This unique drone's eye down on view shows the 8 track layout that tapers to 6 on one end with two switches on the deck. This is to accommodate the layout of the slip in Prince Rupert which does not allow the barge to move to four positions like they can here (the AML barges are 8 straight tracks and the barge is shifted side to side to line up with the two track slip). This barge is loaded completely to the gills with 45 cars of southbound interchange. Lashed to her bow on the port side is the 118.7 ft long Justine Foss, a 4300 hp tug built in 1976.

n the dark nighttime streets, Hayden, a librarian turned elegant vigilante, steps in to protect a helpless young man from thugs, displaying his sharp intellect and physical prowess. After driving away the attackers, he watches with satisfaction as the youth safely departs before fading into the night, ready to continue safeguarding his city.

Common wood pigeons, scientifically known as Columba palumbus, are highly popular among bird enthusiasts for several reasons. They are far larger than the urban pigeons, with distinctive physical features, including a plump body, broad wings, and grayish-blue feathers with white patches.
This swamp sparrow - the same one as in the previous picture - reminded me that calling is quite a physical exercise for birds. I captured it several times when calling and every single time it squeezed its eye into a non-circular shape with its eye-ring protruding quite a bit.
Giant anteaters prey almost exclusively on social insects (i.e. ants and termites). Such dietary focus significantly shapes the physical form and behavior of the species. Giant anteaters do not have teeth; instead, they have tongues can reach as much as 610 mm (2 ft.) in length! As long as the tongue is, it is relatively narrow over the entirety of its length, with its widest point being only 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 in.). They use this giant tongue to gather insects for food, extending it up to 150 times per minute.
Their tongues are covered with tiny spines which point toward the back of the throat. Additionally, their tongue is coated with a thick, sticky coat of saliva (which is secreted from relatively enlarged salivary glands). Prior to swallowing, the insect-coated tongue is firmly pressed against the anteater's hard upper palate – crushing their meal and easing ingestion.
The stomachs of anteaters do not secrete hydrochloric acid. Instead, they depend on the formic acid content of their ant-dominated diet to aid in digestion.
They can eat up to 30,000 insects a day.
Despite their coarse fur and thickened skin (particularly about the muzzle), giant anteaters may still be agitated by the large-jawed soldier castes of the ant and termite species upon which they feed. Accordingly, they avoid soldiers both actively and tactically. The anteater's typical feeding profile could be described as a lightening strike - quick feeding action over a short period. Such a clipped feeding incursion generally outpaces a given insect colony's ability to rapidly mount a defense; thus tactically avoiding the aggravation of soldier castes.
Giant anteaters tend to pursue the larger bodied social insects, while tamanduas and silky anteaters tend to prey on smaller insect fare. Such dietary segmentation allows for different anteater species to co-exist in the same region without being in direct predatory competition.
Giant anteaters are terrestrial. Unlike other anteater species, adult giant anteaters only rarely climb trees. Instead, its powerful forearms and prominent claws are used primarily for digging and ripping in the search for food.
While the giant anteater has five digits on each foot, their first digit is reduced and the second and third digits exhibit the long claws.
Anteaters are able to detect insects with their powerful sense of smell, 40 times that of man. If threatened, the typically non-vocal giant anteater may make a bellowing noise. Additionally, they will often rear up on their hind quarters and swipe with their (up to) 10 cm (4 in.) long foreclaws.
Anteaters do not walk on the soles of their forefeet. Rather, they flex the digits upward and turn the forefeet inward, such that the large foreclaws do not come in contact with the ground. Anteaters sleep as much as 15 hours each day.
As an outcome of their diet and lifestyle, anteaters have relatively low metabolic rates. As a stark example, the giant anteater has the lowest recorded body temperature of any placental mammal – 32.7° C (90.9°F).
When observed in regions without a significant human presence, giant eaters are diurnally active. However, giant anteaters appear to adopt a nocturnal lifestyle when living in more disturbed areas subject to human activity.
Giant anteaters, save for mother/young pairs, are generally solitary. Usually only one baby is born at a time. It nurses for 6 months and is carried on the mother's back for up to a year.
.... The sculptures were created by Canadian artist William Lishman. Twenty life-size sculptures can be found flanking the west side of Bridgepoint Hospital in planters leading from the cafeteria terrace to Ambulatory Care and Riverdale Park. This special healing art installation designed by renowned Canadian artist William Lishman expresses the capabilities of the physical form through dance, sport and movement. The sculptures speak to the hope and aspiration the hospital brings to patients, families and the community. The sculptures are a generous gift from the Tauba and Solomon Spiro Foundation and were originally designed in memory of businessman and philanthropist, Max Tanenbaum (1909-1983) ....

Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. The multi-building complex opened between 1963 and 1967 and occupies almost an entire city block on State Street on the north bank of the Chicago River on the Near North Side, directly across from the Loop. Portions of the complex were designated a Chicago Landmark in 2016.
The complex consists of two 587-foot (179 m), 65-story apartment towers, opened in 1963, which include physical plant penthouses. It also includes a 10-story office building (now a hotel) opened in 1964, and a saddle-shaped auditorium building originally used as a cinema. The four buildings, access driveways, and a small plaza that originally included an ice rink are built on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name.
Experiencing Things Physical
While capturing things with my eye
Walking forward, backward, and spinning around
I have the gift of time spent
And a wondering mind
It's magical and explainable
A story told in words and photos by me.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in northern New Mexico with the southern Rocky Mountains. The view is looking to the northwest to the ridges and peaks with the Brazos Cliffs in the Tusas Mountains. This was at a roadside pullout along U.S. Route 64. With this image, I zoomed in a little with the focal length to center the cliffs off in the distance, while still including some foreground interest with the nearby grassy meadow and forest of evergreen trees.
The beauty here arises from the interplay of perfectly normal physical and biological processes:
Sunlight is scattered by the moist morning air. Tiny water droplets in the mist primarily deflect the short-wavelength components of the light, while warm, yellow-gold light remains dominant. This creates the soft rays and the warm color palette. At the same time, leaves, grass, and water absorb and reflect light differently, creating contrasts and depth.
Our brains perceive this as "beautiful" because they have an evolutionarily positive response to patterns such as smooth transitions, natural symmetries, and color harmonies—for millions of years, these signaled safe, life-friendly environments.
In short: Physics shapes the light, biology shapes the landscape, and our brains create beauty from it.
Unser Gehirn schafft Schönheit
Die Schönheit entsteht hier aus dem Zusammenspiel ganz normaler physikalischer und biologischer Prozesse:
Das Sonnenlicht wird durch die feuchte Morgenluft gestreut. Winzige Wassertröpfchen im Nebel lenken vor allem die kurzwelligen Anteile des Lichts um, während warmes, gelb-goldenes Licht dominanter bleibt. Dadurch entstehen die weichen Strahlen und die warme Farbpalette. Gleichzeitig absorbieren und reflektieren Blätter, Gras und Wasser Licht unterschiedlich, was Kontraste und Tiefe erzeugt.
Unser Gehirn empfindet das als „schön“, weil es auf Muster wie sanfte Übergänge, natürliche Symmetrien und Farbharmonien evolutionär positiv reagiert – sie signalisierten über Millionen Jahre hinweg sichere, lebensfreundliche Umgebungen.
Kurz gesagt: Physik formt das Licht, Biologie formt die Landschaft, und unser Gehirn macht daraus Schönheit.
Due to intense harm and evil choices of others you are faced with so much darkness, devastation, difficulty, physical and emotional pain and suffering, unpredictability, fear, terror and so many other challenges that almost completely crush you which you are unable to express with words. And amidst all this suffering, when it feels like too much and you want to quit trying to survive, you work to keep looking for light and moving forward in healthy ways even when it seems impossible. Thank you for pressing on at a pace appropriate for you by working to care for yourself through many forms of nourishment, working to receive healthy support through God’s faithfulness and people who deeply care for you, through rest, tears, and graceful acknowledgment of truth and reality. You still have a long way to go on this journey and it is amazing how far you’ve come.

Anciennement Parus montanus, est une espèce de passereaux de la famille des paridés. L'espèce contient quatorze sous-espèces. Très semblable à la mésange nonnette, elle s'en différencie par quelques légers détails physiques : une tête plus grosse, l'arrière des joues blanc, une calotte noire mate, et une bavette plus grande.
