The story behind the photo:
For the most part, I try to show photos here that come with an entertaining anecdote that my fellow Flickerites can identify with and enjoy; the world offers enough misery as it is, so my goal is to cheer you up, not to drag you down. But here for once I feel I have a responsibility to share with you what I see as a cautionary tale - and I don't blame you if you turn away now, because what follows is not a pleasant read.
But before I get into that I want to say that the year 2022 was - at least as far as my photographic endeavors were concerned - an amazing one, and I'm very grateful. It was a year of many firsts for me; I managed to produce my first acceptable bird photo; I was for the first time able to capture a roe deer as well as a swallowtail, a mantis and even a fox (which I can't wait to show you): all from within my tiny garden in Ticino.
But while there were many wonderful encounters with the fascinating creatures that share "my" vacation home and its adjacent garden with me that I was only too happy to show here, you might have noticed that the lizard species whose Latin name is my alias on Flickr and that - still - "kinda" serves as the main focus of my gallery, has been absent for a long while.
One of the reasons for holding back on new Lacerta bilineata photos is obviously that I decided to widen my focus a bit and that I now concentrate on all the species I manage to capture in my garden and its immediate surroundings.
But there is another reason I haven't uploaded any western greens this summer. Even though I shot dozens of photos of some of the most gorgeous individuals of the species I've ever seen (many of which you can also find here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... ), those were all taken on the other side of the village, and not in my garden.
The beautiful male above was in fact one of only 3 western greens I found (alive) in the vicinity of my garden between May and October in 2022 - and out of those he's the only one I was able to photograph.
So what happened? Well, a year ago the neighbor to my immediate left got a young cat, and at the same time, the neighbor to my right also adopted two kittens. Before I continue, it is important to me that you know that I myself am very much a cat person: I adore felines of any kind, and in our own household (though not at our vacation home) we've always had generations of cats, and they were and are as dear to us as our human family members.
So I have no interest in pushing any sort of "anti-cat agenda"; I'm just telling you what happened. By the time spring 2022 came around, my neighbors' cats were almost fully grown and had developed their hunting skills. Between the three of them, they killed up to a dozen western green lizards every day once the reptiles started re-emerging from their winter hiding places which is when they generally are at their most slow and vulnerable.
It was easy to count the dead lizards, because the cats didn't eat them, and whenever I was outside rarely an hour passed without one of the cats showing up with a lizard or some other animal in its mouth. They also killed most of the snakes, even the slightly longer ones at 50-70cm.
Within only a few weeks, the entire Lacerta bilineata population in and around my garden was gone, and the same was true for the population of green whip snakes, while even the number of common wall lizards, which were extremely abundant before, markedly went down during that same time period.
There had always been cats in our village, and I was aware or at least suspected that the ebb and flow of the bilineata population in the past was somewhat tied to how many cats were permanently present at any given time, but my immediate neighbors had never had cats before (which is probably why a tiny population of this protected reptile species had managed to survive around my house).
Now experiencing up close what an impact only 3 cats can have on an isolated, small reptile population was absolutely shocking. What I witnessed made me sad, but I'm not angry at the cats - nor do I hold a grudge towards my neighbors, who are kind, generous and all around lovely people.
And while I don't want to lecture anybody, what I would like to do is offer a few ideas how we as cat-lovers can help mitigate the averse effects our beloved pets' predatory nature (which is nobody's fault: least of all the cats') has on the ecosystems around our homes.
If we live in areas where there's threatened/protected species close to our homes that our cats will prey upon, the time when we let our pets out of the house can already make a huge difference. For example, western green lizards are at their most active between 8am and 11am, and not letting our cats out during that period can already increase the lizards' chance of survival.
If you're a cat lover like me but you also want to protect your local fauna, knowing when during the day birds and reptiles are the most active as well as knowing their breeding/nesting cycles is crucial, and by adjusting the times or time periods when you let your cat out of the house (or not) accordingly will make a vital difference.
But there are also simpler approaches: most reptiles and birds (which are by far the most vulnerable to hunting cats) are not active during the night. Rodents like rats and mice on the other hand very much are, so if you mostly let your cat out after sunset, it will predominantly hunt mice and rats, which are usually abundant enough that their populations aren't threatened (this at least is true for western Europe - other regions might have threatened wildlife that is active during the night, so if you do care, try to educate yourself about the creatures that will fall prey to your pet).
Cats are perfectly adapted to night activity, but they switch to more daytime activity in order to better fit the routine of "their" humans. So while our cats probably won't like it at first to have to stay indoors during the day, they will quickly adapt and accept it, as long as they know they will be able to leave the house once the sun has gone down.
Naturally, there might be practical issues involved that make it impossible to try some of the above (like the presence of coyotes who will eat your cats if they are out at night), but who knows, maybe one person or other will find some of these suggestions useful. And while it may be too late for "my" lizards, I just feel an obligation to at least try to help raise awareness on the issue (although I realize this is a touchy subject and people have strong opinions about it).
In any case, thank you so much for taking the time to read this not very pleasant text. And as always, let me know what you think of the photo in the comments below - but please refrain from making any "heated" statements regarding the issue at hand out of respect for other commenters whose feelings you might hurt (if you feel very strongly about this subject and want to "vent", you may always reach me via my Flickr Mail).

I don't know. This was one that I loved certain parts while I was doing it, but then as a total, not a big fan. Here is the original.
1937 Railton with Hudson Deluxe 8 engine/chassis and Limo body by the English Coachbuilder Rippon Bros made for the Works Manager Colonel Rippon as a personal estate car. Rippon Bros, Coachmakers began in 1555, and served the original Queen Mary (yes that one) and Queen Elizabeth 1 as official coachbuilders. They made their first auto body in 1905 for an early Rolls Royce.
This Railton boasts many luxurious features such as aluminum coachwork, dual sliding roof panels, and fitted 3-piece luggage just to name a few. One particularly luxurious amenity is the an inlaid walnut cabinet in the passenger compartment which transforms into a table and contains a matchbox, cigarette and cigar boxes, a silver plated cognac flask, a corkscrew, and a chocolate box. In addition to its refined finishings and due to its intend use as an estate car, this Railton boasts many unusual features, such as a waterproof compartment concealed under the luggage for carrying sport rifles and a reinforced trunk lid that doubles as a shooting platform capable of supporting two men.
The Hudson powered Railton was named for British automotive engineer Reid A. Railton, who designed both a land speed record setting automobile and a water speed record setting boat. The Railton was built in England from 1933 until the beginning of World War II with less than 1,500 being produced. The company was started by the innovative car and boat builder, Noel Macklin who was looking for a new car-making venture after he sold his Invicta car company in 1933. He hoped that combining American engine power and reliability, with a Rolls Royce like luxurious body would sell........and a few Brits found the car a practical marriage of both. Rare and desirable

Bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges gehörte das Dorf Konau hinter dem Elbdeich zum Landkreis Lüneburg, nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erfolgte wegen der fehlenden Brücke über die Elbe mit entsprechend zu erwartenden Versorgungsschwierigkeiten aus praktischen Gründen im Juli 1945 eine Übergabe an die sowjetische Besatzungszone und daraus folgend die spätere Zugehörigkeit Konaus zur DDR. Durch die Lage im so genannten Schutzstreifen der DDR-Grenze blieb die für die Siedlungsgeschichte an der Elbe typische Marschhufenbebauung im Ort bis heute erhalten. Nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung wechselte Konau wieder nach Niedersachsen in den Landkreis Lüneburg zurück.
Until the end of the Second World War, the village of Konau, located behind the Elbe dyke, belonged to the Lüneburg district. After the Second World War, due to the lack of a bridge over the Elbe and the associated supply difficulties, it was handed over to the Soviet occupation zone in July 1945 for practical reasons, and Konau subsequently became part of the GDR. Due to its location in the so-called protective strip of the GDR border, the village has retained the typical building style for the history of settlement on the Elbe to this day. After German reunification, Konau returned to Lower Saxony in the Lüneburg district.

Something different from my usual. They were parked along the road side in the middle of nowhere, so I couldn't resist.

The edge of the rise prior to the sprawling Iron Age site of Ulaca is alive with vivid boulders. The shot is taken from before the sites final rise and so still high above the fluvial plane below. One has a throne carved into its top, and the way the natural mineral erratic's, some visible on the horizon of this image, are 'appropriated' by culture and passage coheres with other iron age sites in the greater area.
The site features a sauna, and as you sit in its two well worn stone-carved chairs (see later), aside the larger and still steamy 'changing room', you 'hear' the conviviality and sweat of a pre Roman spirit of cleanliness and pride. The sauna is a practical space that is described on Wiki Fr as an 'initiation' space. If a community of a sample 500 people each use the facility once a week, then everyone could access for 30 minutes for just a 12 hour day, perhaps not the best description of the concept of 'initiation'. Likewise for Wiki Fr, the site's monolithic stairs (see below) are described as being there for 'sacrifices'. Stairs do exist with summits used for sacrifice, but this vivid explanation adds a cold breath over other possible usages, from a meeting point for local 'bigmen' from the valley below, to a vivid waiting space for pre Gladiator specialist warriors; a meeting point for traders, to a loci for spiritual rites of passage and an arena for speech, specific oratory and controlled song - and indeed many of the above according to context and time and date.
The shot is a montage using a Takumar 35mm at the first bounce of dawn. The exposure has been brightened a tad to return the image to my memory of the light.

I had a great night last night with Komeg and a bunch of cool folks doing an LP workshop in Chee Tor tunnel. This was for Redeye Manchester for whom we did a talk last year and they approached us to do a practical.
I grabbed this just before midnight as I hadn't got my shot for the day.
Everyone went home happy and fingers crossed those who attended continue to wave those lights around.
Happy days.
This blue Jay has learned to add the peanut last. Last year I watched a young jay grab the peanut first, which opened his beak too wide. He tried again and again to grab some more nuts but couldn't close his beak on them. It was hilarious.

I included a little bit of this bodkin needle in an image a few days ago, but here's the whole thing. It's French, solid silver and dates from the 1800s. The Sylko cotton reels are probably 1950s and the bits of lace are Victorian.
After several incredibly dark days with virtually no light, today has been bright and sunny. A bit of a shock to the system! I actually had to use a diffuser. I'm not complaining. Well, OK, maybe I am. I always do. Too dark, too bright, too ... whatever. :)
I had just taken some photos when the sculptress walked out and asked if I had put on that mask. Apparently, a prankster had just played a practical joke.

Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile), about to come into bloom.
Take at the 2024 Bord Bia Bloom festival - a wonderful event held in the Phoenix Park on the June Bank Holiday every year.
"Bord Bia Bloom is a world-class, uplifting and innovative horticulture, food, and drink experience with nature and sustainable living at its heart. Originally created to promote plants, garden design, horticulture and gardening, Bord Bia’s role in promoting food and drink has allowed Bloom to develop further. The show has grown into something which not only makes for a great day out, but also offers a huge range of practical information on everything from gardening, to growing fruit and vegetables, cooking and culture."
Standing outside this century old barn, I looked up to see an aircraft flying overhead and thought of how far we'd come. The barn featured a unique swing beam construction that allowed a team of horses, hitched to a wagon, to turn around without having to back up. Horses apparently don't like to walk backwards so this made life easier for farmer and animal alike. When you compare that marvel of practical engineering to the complexity of the plane, it seems there are no limits to what we can accomplish.
Original started as a micro spaceship, I felt it needed some minifigs to help bring it to life and to play with the sense of scale.
I'd never have got this stuff into the Corsa, and the Applause has otherwise proved to be an extremely useful vehicle, thereby more than earning it's keep, as the saying goes.
