Four drakes and a hen mallard heading north on a late afternoon at the San Louis National Wildlife Refuge.
Les chevreuils sont de plus en plus présents chez nous, on les aperçoit régulièrement mais de loin. Celui-ci remontait le chemin qu'on descendait et de toute évidence notre présence le contrariait dans ses projets. Mais comme il avait très chaud il n'avait vraiment pas envie de dévier sa route pour passer dans le champ. Il a hésité longuement et a fini par sauter dans le champ à côté où il s'est juste tapi le temps de nous laisser passer. Une rencontre étonnante, j'allais à la chasse aux coquelicots et heureusement j'avais pris mon objectif 100-400 "au cas où"....
Un alligator dans la « Big Cypress National Preserve »...
La photo est prise en bord de route... le long de la Loop Road qui traverse sur plus de 10 miles ce paysage de forêt immergé... Les alligators sont là facile à voir et peu farouche... ceci-dit, c’est toujours très impressionnant combien ils parviennent à se rendre invisible malgré leur taille et alors même qu’ils sont très proches.. A cet égard, la photo de cet individu qui se fond sur le reflet des cyprès est très représentative de l’impression un peu angoissante qu’ils laissent... « oh mon dieu... il était si proche... comment ai je pu ne pas le voir??!! »
When out for a bike ride last week I was delighted to see that a local farmer had planted a wildflower mix in the set-aside adjacent to his wheat crop.
Actually it was double delight since the only poppies that I had seen up to this point were some mega-sized cultivated ones in the sand dunes at Alnmouth which don't count as wildflowers in my book!

Eguisheil est l’un des plus beaux villages de d’Alsace ( il a été élu plus beau village de France en 2013 ) avec ses maisons à colombages , son tour de ville le long des remparts et son château des comtes sur la place centrale .
Le site semble avoir été occupé dès le paléolithique, puis par les romains. C’est de cette époque que date la première culture de la vigne.
Le village commence son développement après la construction du premier château d’Eguisheim au VIIIème siècle par le comte Eberhardt, petit fils du troisième Duc d’Alsace. Il est ainsi l’ancêtre du Pape Léon IX et le neveu de Sainte-Odile, patronne de l’Alsace. A l’extinction de la lignée des Comtes, au début du XIIIème siècle, la ville est léguée à l’évêché de Strasbourg. Au cours de ce siècle Eguisheim est élevée au rang de ville, fortifiée et rattachée au Haut-Mundat de Rouffach. La ville reste rattachée au Mundat jusqu’à la révolution et connaît son âge d’or entre le XVIème et XVIIIème siècle, malgré quelques soubresauts tels que la peste ou un fort appauvrissement lors de la guerre de trente ans.
Le village, aujourd’hui, de petite taille avec ses 1 600 habitants, vit principalement du tourisme et du vin.

Drive slow
Where we goin', ain't no time zone
'Cause my home
Is wherever you and I go (let's go)
Got all this life, but I'm not livin' here without you
Got all this time, don't wanna spend it all without you
And I know
We gotta fall in with our eyes closed
I just need you tonight
'Cause I don't wanna waste the rest of my life
All I need is you plus me, every day of the week
Minus the distance
I just need you tonight
'Cause whenever you stay, I feel so alive
All I need is you plus me, every day of the week
Minus the distance...
Plus je sombre dans la folie,
Plus je m’envole dans la raison,
De cette raison loin de la folie des hommes,
La raison de l’éveil à la liberté, d’être...
Oui, d’être une singularité éclairée,
Dans l’obscurantisme de notre société,
De notre monde immonde…

The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018.
The Thumb, Monument Valley, Navajo Tribal Park, Utah, USA.
Monument Valley natural structures were created through timeless erosion.
Stages of erosion:
Mesa - From the Spanish word for 'table' is a large rock formation that looks like a table (flat).
Butte - Is a smaller rock formation and the second stage of erosion from a mesa.
Spire - The final stage of erosion from a butte that becomes narrow and free standing.
Due to the desert climate, dormant trees are more numerous here than the alive ones.
Largo da Sé is a charming square lined with orange trees […] and dominated by the city’s impressive cathedral plus a cluster of palatial buildings, including the Bishop’s Palace.
Built on the site of an old mosque following the Reconquest in 1251, Faro’s magnificent Sé Cathedral is blessed with a bold, basilica-like interior particularly notable for its 18th-century Baroque organ and wide nave flanked by exquisite azulejo tiles. Visitors who ascend the bell tower are rewarded with the most breathtaking views of the city’s old quarter, nearby wetlands and far beyond. Google
Grand Union Tow Path, London
When built it was on the edge of London so all the mains railway lines into London cross the canal to reach Euston, St. Pancras and Kings Cross.

The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018. Its instant and enduring popularity has been credited with saving the company and keeping the company famous during the 36 years of its manufacture. Among Morgan enthusiasts, it is deeply associated with Peter Morgan, the owner-chairman behind its design.
Design
The development of the Plus 8 was led by Maurice Owen, an engineer taken on specifically for the role. The Plus 8 prototype was based on a modified chassis from the Plus 4, altered to accept the Rover alloy block 215 cu in (3.5 L) V8, purchased from GM-Buick in 1967. Plus 4's Moss gearbox was carried over and the Salisbury 7HA axle was uprated with a limited-slip differential. The chassis was developed in stages to accommodate gearbox changes in 1973 and 1976, 1995 the body widened in 1976 to accommodate the widened chassis and the wings widened to accommodate larger tires to handle the increasing power and trend for lower profile and wider tires. The original 1968 Plus 8 was 57 inches (1,400 mm) wide and the last was 64 inches (1,600 mm) (with an optional "widebody" at 67 inches (1,700 mm)) From the 1960s and (according to all auto magazines) through the 1980s for acceleration between 20-80mph, the Plus Eight was the fastest-accelerating UK production car. To this day, early Plus 8s are frequently the winners in the 1960-1970 class in the UK.
In 2002, Morgan created a "LeMans Edition" with similar exterior feature to the 1960s Plus 4 LeMans winner. In 2003, Morgan created a 35th year "Anniversary Edition" of the Plus 8. The 35th Anniversary model was built in 100 examples and has a walnut dashboard, mesh behind the grille bars, a "LeMans style" gear knob, and a badge on the rear panel. The original brochure also referenced the fact that the Plus 8 was to be discontinued the following year.
Following the discontinuation of the Rover V8, production of Plus 8 ended in 2004. A revised Aero, powered by a 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine, was placed on an Aero chassis, with Aero 8 suspension, axles, brakes, steering, gearbox, and altered wings was introduced in 2012, They also called this model "Plus 8" and it was sold concurrently with the Aero 8 from that date until the elimination of the Aero line-up in 2020.
In 2014, Morgan created another edition called the Plus 8 'Speedster' models based on the later Aero configuration noted above. It began as a limited edition, but production was not limited to the originally advertised 60 examples. This limited run forwent the traditional roof in favor of a small fly screen and hidden roll bars behind the front seats. Pitched as an entry-level Plus 8 model, they went on sale for £69,999.

Wie jedes Jahr kamen auch 2019 wieder etliche Leihfahrzeuge zur Kieler Woche zum Einsatz.
Nachdem die lokbepannten Garnituren auf der Lübecker Strecke alles andere als fotografenfreundlich liefen, wurde in den Folgetagen der Verkehr auf den anderen Zubringern in Angriff genommen.
So sehen wir hier eine Kooperation aus 628 495 vom DB Fernverkehrs SyltShuttle Plus und 628 685 der Westfrankenbahn die als RE74 auf dem Weg nach Husum gleich den Haltepunkt Bredenbek durchfahren.
Until now, I had only seen the exoskeletons of Cicadas on some tree trunks. At the end of 2024, I discovered a Greengrocer Cicada (Cyclochila australasiae) and, more recently, this Floury Baker Cicada (Aleeta curvicosta), seen here on a Gaillardia bloom. Now, some of the Summer sounds around me have a name and an image :) /
Jusqu'a present, je ne connaissais des Cigales que les mues que je trouvais accrochees a certains troncs d'arbres. Fin 2024, j'ai decouvert celle que l'on appelle "Greengrocer" en Australie et, dernierement, cette petite nouvelle appelee "Floury Baker" Comme il en existe plus de 700 especes en Australie, il me reste du chemin a faire avant de les connaitre toutes :)
O Columnas de Hércules. Son dos torres gemelas de 126 metros de altura en el municipio de Los Barrios; Cadiz, simulan las dos Columnas de Hércules del estrecho de Gibraltar, donde en la antigüedad decían que se acababa el mundo, de ahí el Non Plus Ultra, (que esta incrustado en su fachada dicha frase) que significa; ‘No existe tierra más allá"
