The problem with this otherwise gift of a scene (taken late March 2024) was accommodating that lenticular cloud (right of centre) within my usual 3:1 aspect ratio.
In a perfect world, said cloud would have been a little lower in the sky. As it is, the only compromise was to go wide which, in turn, effectively distances that wonderful backdrop.
Have you ever sat on a hillside overlooking a small beautiful cove that runs into a deep blue sea 🌊 behind us, having a conversation with four Shelties….If not, I suggest that you ought to try it sometime….As it can be quite a rewarding experience….Ok, I agree that it can be a job getting a word in edgeways’ sometimes….But I like to think that I can be a good listener when put my mind to it, especially when the conversation is about Maysie having trouble getting her directions to her food bowl ever since she had a stroke last October leaving her head on the tilt and her brain has not come to terms with that and likes to thinks that her head is perfectly upright. Making her feeding a bit problematic, but no big deal as she coupes well….But Millie has come up with a solution to the problem by suggesting buying a much bigger food bowl for her to target into……And guess what….She saw one in a boutique shop on our way up here….But because it has pictures of dogs around it sold from a boutique shop, the price is £18 sterling……As I start to buck at the price, Halo stops me right there, saying that Millie Jazz and himself would raid the CraZyGang treat fund and empty their pockets and do whatever it takes to raise the £18 needed to buy the big food bowl for Maysie, which for once left her speechless with gratitude…..And yes this this is a true story, and did I not say those conversations with Shelties can be a very rewarding experience…Sigh…Oh yes indeed they can….
They were just curiously looking the stranger.
“..use that famous line on this one, do it do it” – Stormtrooper on the back anxiously said thru the speaker system.
“…let me see your identification“, said the Stormtrooper on front to a stranger.
Stranger didn’t responded. He just stood there, like a statue. For a moment, it looked like the Stormtroopers were seeing ghosts or visor on their helmets just needed to be replaced. You know the chances to find something from a space sewage system are very high. It would be odd to think the otherwise. But this one didn’t looked like a creature from a horror movie…
Previously in this series: Ro Sham Bo!. If you're interested more about these fella's, you may wanna take a look what I've done with them earlier.
Moment of mystery continues. I’m trying to decide, whether I will show the stranger or not. Well, there are bigger problems on this Death Star, remember this series? Anyway I go, it’s the right decision. I don’t need to see the stranger’s identification and we all can move along, to another scene.
A VOLTE E' MEGLIO NON NASCERE
La cavolaia è un insetto che fa parte della famiglia dei lepidotteri, possiamo vederlo svolazzare in fase adulta come farfalla, ma a preoccupare il coltivatore è il bruco, implacabile divoratore delle piante di cavolo.
Questo insetto infatti è temuto in agricoltura perché depone le sue uova proprio sulle foglie dei cavoli e in generale delle varie piante crucifere, dalle uova escono larve particolarmente voraci, che danneggiano rapidamente le verdure, sbranando le foglie.
Le larve nutrendosi delle foglie mangiucchiano i cavoli, dilaniando e sporcando l’ortaggio, provocando anche marcescenze. Quando le uova fanno nascere numerosi bruchi l’azione distruttiva può essere anche rapida e pregiudicare totalmente il raccolto delle piante colpite.
Le farfalle adulte invece non portano nessun danno diretto anche se ovviamente deponendo le uova sono la causa del problema e per questo è corretto contrastarle con trattamenti dedicati.
-----------------------------------------
SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER NOT TO BE BORN
The cavolaia is an insect that is part of the lepidoptera family, we can see it fluttering in the adult stage as a butterfly, but what worries the grower is the caterpillar, relentless devourer of cabbage plants.
In fact, this insect is feared in agriculture because it lays its eggs on the leaves of the cabbage and in general of the various cruciferous plants, particularly voracious larvae emerge from the eggs, which quickly damage the vegetables, tearing the leaves apart.
The larvae feeding on the leaves nibble on the cabbage, tearing and dirtying the vegetable, also causing rot. When the eggs give birth to numerous caterpillars, the destructive action can also be rapid and totally affect the harvest of the affected plants.
Adult butterflies, on the other hand, do not cause any direct damage even if obviously by laying eggs they are the cause of the problem and for this reason it is correct to fight them with dedicated treatments.

Thank you in advance for every group recognition, awards and every beautiful comment sprinkled over my page
North Central Service #109 departs Chicago Union Station behind ex-GO F59PH #99 passing the increasingly overgrown runaround track for the now-demolished ADM flour mill. It has now been almost five years since NS made its last rail shipment to the mill...
Today it's routinely overlooked that among the problems involved in the long exposure times of early European portrait photography, a prominent place was often taken by rust (and virtual clown shoes). View On Black
Difficult conditions....if only I had a press pass:) Then the fencing wouldn't be a problem. Being taller might help also...
Swara Lannock's tail lashed back and forth behind him slowly as he unknowingly drew that rough, pink tongue across his dark hued lips. Battered and nicked ears flicked at the voices that rose up from below, listening intently to what he could catch of the conversation as he continued to keep that unflinching stare of rust colored eyes fixed on Guin. He wondered for a moment about her reaction if she would spot him perched up here...he wasn't trying to hide any longer. Spotted fingers drifted to his belt again to pull out another small object, this time dropping it straight down below him where it would land with a dull crack. His head tilting to one side curiously.
Sebastian Ricks tilts his head. "They're the rooster crowing on top of the dungheap, bonita. Or they think they are. Makes them want to strut. Not surprised they're visiting the church. From what I know of the UAC, they don't like it when their playthings get away. Or forget their place." The soft clatter behind him makes him turn. He glances at the floor, then casually lifts his eyes to the balcony above. "Oh look, bonita," he drawls. "A furry cockroach."
Guinevere Fouroux's lips twist in a dry smile, rather enjoying the image of UAC soldiers as preening roosters... she only wishes they were so powerless. "Nothing but bullies," she mutters, but before she can say anything else something drops to the carpet behind him. Her eyes drop, brow furrowing, and she steps closer to it as she sees Bastian look up. Crouching, she reaches out with tentative fingers, then draws back sharply. "It's a bone," she whispers, then follows his gaze. Her breath catches. White... white and gray, and it's all she remembers. Everything and nothing. She stumbles back, back to her feet, eyes on the balcony. "I think... " She swallows, and blinks rapidly. "I think that's him... "
Sebastian Ricks steps past Guin. He rolls the bone toward him with his boot, then crouches with absent grace to pick it up. "Finger bone," he clarifies. It vanishes into his pocket as if it had never been. "The one who bit you?" he asks, cocking his head to eye the cat perched over their heads. With a cold, bright grin, he straightens and gives the cat a mocking wave. "Hey there, ese. Back for seconds?"
Swara Lannock's mouth drew into a wide wolfish grin as she looked up, two thick carnivorous fangs peeking out from beneath his upper lip, not the type of fangs you would expect on a neko, these were made distinctly big cat incisors. His tail swayed wildly, enough so that the tip would be seen swinging up from behind the low wall he perched on. It was apparent he gained far too much amusement from the woman's reaction. He watched with curious eyes as the finger bone was scooped up and deposited away like some trinket..his trinket to be exact. "You smell, delicious...ape" he murred in a playful, yet dangerous tone. The male's words didn't go unheard, he just chose to let them go unanswered for now.
Sebastian Ricks folds his arms over his chest in a flutter of black lace cuffs. "Eh, bonita, what are you gonna do? Like being chased down by a rabid dog, hey?" He watches the cat with a sly smile. "Just a dumb animal. Don't know no better."

Yeah, it was fun to do this. Seriously! And all this is all in-camera, except the watermark on the left corner...
Let this be a lesson, young 'uns, to always check the front element of your lens. I discovered, after returning home, that I had been shooting down at Ashbridges Bay on a very hazy day with a front lens element well and truly smeared, probably with sunscreen, from someone's errant fingers . . . ahem. Because I was using the Olympus which only has a back LCD and not a viewfinder, I couldn't see the displayed image well enough to tell I had problems. Ya learn, eh?
Toronto's skyline is off in the distance, as is the Leslie St. spit, hidden in the haze.
M9 872 approaches Colombo Maradana with a train from Kandy on the final full day of our Sri Lankan trip.
This really was a welcome sight as aside from a number of stored locomotives on Maradana depot we had seen absolutely no evidence of the M9 class for the previous 8 days of the trip, nor my previous visit in 2015 - so they do work sometimes!
10 of these Alstom locomotives were built in 2000 for Sri Lankan Railways at Belfort in France- unlike their more familiar cousins the EWS class 67, these locomotives are fitted with a Ruston power plan and certainly sound quite different as a result!
Since their introduction the class has been plagued by problems with maintenance and the cost and supply of spare parts leaving them as the least utilised fleet of locos in the country, often with only one or two machines in traffic.
My 2024 trip report from Sri Lanka is now online here.
A bonus "Friday Face" this week. I don't understand Japanese. However, it was quite possible to interpret what was going on in this photo.
I saw the passenger get up from her seat, but too late to get off the train at her stop. She had probably nodded off as so many people do on Japanese public transport. She walked down the train to find the conductress. The conductress very politely invited her to sit down opposite us and came back a couple of minutes later with information that she should get off at a particular station to connect with a service going the opposite way. Something was then written on the ticket which I imagine gave the lady a free ride back down the line.

The problem with BW, for me, is always what should the final product look like?
I think "Lee Friedlander" is always a good answer :-)

Day 3652 Y10D364
This is it, this is day 3652, 10 years of daily Lego photos. I was 34 when I started this on February 25, 2011, my son was only 3 months old. Now I’m 44 and he is 10. It been tedious, boring, thought provoking, problem solving, idea storming and fun all at the same and different times. I have appreciated all the likes, follows and the interactions that have come of this project. It has become part of my daily routine, part of my life and has led me to see the world in a different way. My photography has changed and improved, as has my thought process.
Where do I go from here? I’m not sure. For now, keep following me here and on Instagram at kevinmboots77
This isn’t good bye, this is until we see each other again.

Apparently the tropical milkweed plants sold in stores may cause problems for Monarch butterflies: entomologytoday.org/2015/01/16/planting-the-wrong-kind-of...
After reading about it, I harvested a few of the remaining "native" seeds from the milkweeds in one of the parks and now have them stored damp in my refrigerator. Will try to grow them this year.
Rabbits were introduced to New Zealand in the 1840s for food and sport but as there were no predators they soon became a pest, reaching plague proportions in some areas. I was told to look for a huge rabbit in this Wellington garden and sure enough ...
Deslumbrante sempre este cenário fotografado da Vista Chinesa.

AMANHECENDO NO RIO DE JANEIRO
O Amanhecer no Rio de Janeiro visto do Mirante da Vista Chinesa. Gosto muito de fotografar as camadas de montanhas do Rio de Janeiro. Um cenário que não cansa.
O que cansa é outra coisa. O roubo de fotos.
Até 2011 as primeiras fotos do Google referente à Vista Chinesa, Copacabana, Parque da Cidade de Niterói ou a igreja que você pensar - eram minhas ao procurar no Google imagens..
Eu até gostava de ser referência fotográfica destas atrações do Rio, mesmo na humildade ao notar outras fotos muito melhores que as minhas feitas pelo Custódio Coimbra e outros verdadeiros feras na arte das fotos.
Eu só fazia as fotos descritivas dos lugares sem composições mirabolantes ou ângulos que não nunca foram publicados por absoluta falta de interesse que tem os verdadeiros bons fotógrafos.
Agora, virei referência de atrações do Rio e não acho nada bom isso.
São muitas imobiliárias e principalmente empresas turismo que roubam fotos. Dois seguimentos NESFASTOS da nossa economia devido a incompetência, confiabilidade e baixa formação acadêmida de seus trabalhadores.
O que se vê hoje em dia é um roubo descarado de fotos. Eu até já vi coisa bem piores feitas por um VERME que roubou a vida de outra pessoa copiando todas suas fotos e ainda inventado família, amigos, cachorro, papagaio, etc. E tudo pra se auto elogiar usando nome de terceiros FAKES.
A gente avisa do roubo das fotos e mostras as provas, mas a falta de caráter e interesse das pessoas é só mais uma prova do alto grau de tolerância do brasileiro com o roubo, corrupção e os crimes em geral.
Mas tenham a certeza que a vida destas pessoas é sofrida porque é feita de mentiras e anda muito ruim e só ela não percebe os fatos acontecidos nos últimos anos. Parecem até o Flickr e o Yahoo. As fotos vão sumindo do Google, perdem com visitas, assinaturas e propaganda e nem imaginam o motivo.
Na minha primeira foto dos comentários a imagem era a primeira do Google desde 2006. Ela continua sendo uma das primeiras, mas publicada em outro site que roubou a minha foto. Mas um pra levar para a justiça.
Eu nem comento mais estes roubos, pois apenas uma das minhas fotos já foi roubada e publicada em 37 MIL SITES. Fora as outras fotos em apenas alguns milhares ou centenas de sites diferentes.
Se eu fosse reclamar da vida toda vez que apenas a foto referência foto foi roubada, excluindo toda as outras duas mil que publiquei aqui, eu levaria 112 Anos reclamando todos os dias incluindo domingos de feriados apenas desta única foto em 37 MIL SITES.
Então eu desisti de mostrar e ao contrário de gente que fica procurando, eu nem sinto mais falta quando uma delas perde as 2 mil visitas mensais. Até porque o Flickr e o Yahoo também estão perdendo.
O único problema é que tenho uma empresa de fotografia registrada com CNPJ e tudo certinho há alguns anos, mas toda vez que levo um ladrão de foto na justiça é uma choradeira geral e no final pra conseguir 2 mil reais é só com acordo judicial.
Por isto que acho que ladrão de foto deveria ser enviado pra Cuba. Lá ele iria ter que enrolar os irmãos Castro, mas os Castro de lá não acreditam em muito tro-ló-ló como os Castro brasileiros daqui.

The Vista Chinesa (Chinese Belvedere) is one of the belvederi of Rio de Janeiro, at the topmost of one of the roads that connect the Jardim Botânico area to the Parque Nacional & Floresta da Tijuca, known as the Vista Chinesa.
Estrada da Vista Chinesa skirts the Mesa do Imperador viewpoint and at the Morro da Vista Chinesa runs into Estrada Dona Castorina. From the top of the hill there are views of the Municipal Park, the botanical garden and a long stretch of the south coast. wikipedia.

.....with a long and sharp beak design (see one image earlier) is that food has to be swallowed whole.
Interesting facts: The Great Blue Heron is the largest N.American heron.
Average size : L 46"(117cm) with a wingspan of 72"(183 cm.).
Herons have been known to choke on prey that is too large.- Wikipedia encyclopedia
Lewis's blue flax - Linum lewisii - was collected on July 9, 1806 in Montana by Lewis and Clark on their great expedition west. It was named for Meriwether Lewis and is a native perennial wildflower that's about thumbnail in size.
Various native peoples used flax for cordage and string, as well as for mats, snowshoes, fishing nets and baskets. The blue flax plant also had medicinal uses and was employed as a poultice for swellings, as an infusion for eye problems and gastrointestinal distress and as a wash for the body and hair. Sacagawea's Shoshone people used flax in this way. Several native tribes of the upper Missouri River region used flax seed as food because of its nutritive value and flavor.
Had some problems with light on this set. Too hot one side and too cool the other and from the front etc. Never been an issue with the smaller figures. A bit later on I pulled the left hand light further and further away and pushed the right hand light closer which seemed to help. White clothing can be a pain to photograph!
