PROMPT:
Create a high-quality photograph-like image in a 16:9 wide format that could be featured in a magazine article about the serene life in the countryside. The scene is set in a quaint village along a river in the northwest of Avignon, with an ancient Roman bridge not leading into a house but onto a path or similar structure, emphasizing the bridge's historical significance and rustic charm. Surround the area with old, weathered houses, including a café with a 'TABAC' sign, embodying a rustic and inviting atmosphere. Outside the café, depict two elderly men in well-worn summer attire, showing character and a life well-lived, and two young women, around 18 years old, in simple, slightly worn white summer dresses, engaging in a conversation with expressive and clear faces, highlighting the vibrant community spirit. The entire composition should exude warmth, authenticity, and a high level of detail, capturing the essence of a close-knit community's daily life in the countryside.

#DoodlewashOctober2025 prompt: Pierogi.
#Inktober prompt: Reckless.
October 18th is National Pierogi Day! My bull terrier is being reckless, stealing a pierogi (a good-sized one, too!)!
Did you know the Pierogi originated in medieval Poland but may have been brought there from the Ukraine? Ultimately, it was probably inspired from similar dumpling recipes that came out of China via the Silk Road.

“The Golden Snitch is walnut-sized, as was the Golden Snidget. It is bewitched to evade capture as long as possible. There is a tale that a Golden Snitch evaded capture for six months on Bodmin Moor in 1884, both teams finally giving up in disgust at their Seekers' poor performances. Cornish wizards familiar with the area insist to this day that the Snitch is still living wild on the moor, though I have not been able to confirm this story.”

#macromondays #Familiar
The latest #macromondays challenge #Familiar prompts me to share this picture with you. And this time i went a bit closer. Therefore i used the 1.4x Converter on my XF80.
FYI: What you see is a nailbrush and each string measures 0,16mm thickness. The Scissors of the tiny little helper is about 3-4mm. Size of the visible helper is aprox. 10-12mm.
A nailbrush is a small brush designed specifically for cleaning and scrubbing the fingernails and toenails. It typically has short, stiff bristles that help remove dirt, debris, and bacteria from under the nails and the surrounding areas. Nailbrushes come in various shapes and sizes, but they generally have a compact design that fits comfortably in the hand.
Using a nailbrush is a common practice during personal hygiene routines, especially when washing hands or feet. The bristles help to clean the nails thoroughly and promote good nail health. Nailbrushes are often found in bathrooms and are a handy tool for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.
Some nailbrushes may have additional features, such as a built-in handle for easier grip, or they may be part of a grooming or manicure set. Overall, nailbrushes are simple yet effective tools for maintaining clean and healthy nails.

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack
She is touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket

Prompt: Ultra-realistic digital fine art of a mountain lion (cougar) emerging cautiously from the mouth of a rocky cave. The scene is depicted with all-natural, accurate detail from the reference: the cougar’s fur is finely textured in shades of tawny beige and gray, with piercing yellow eyes focused intently ahead. Its muscular body and large paws are rendered with lifelike precision, highlighted by daylight filtering into the cave. Surrounding the cave are rugged stone formations and desert vegetation, with a leafless tree silhouetted against a hazy sky. The overall mood is watchful, powerful, and wild, showcasing the cougar in its natural habitat. Style: Ultra-realistic digital fine art Mood: Wild, watchful, powerful, natural Lighting: Soft daylight Aspect No noise, no grain, museum-quality fine detail
This digital fine art was created using OpenAI Sora AI and Photoshop

I woke to see
A sea of books
They're all mine
In each and every nook
I am a writer
Of horror you see
This is the worst thing
That could happen to me
My library is soaked
The books will never dry
Each page is ruined
And that makes me want to cry
I turn to see
A light over yond'
I flutter my eyes
And see the sunlight's dawn
I am so relieved
It was just a dream
I was so scared
And wanted to scream
Now I can relax
And keep on writing
With pencil in hand
And my protagonists hiding
I write horror
I am a witch taboot
But that makes for another story
Maybe YOUR character will get the loot

Griffon vultures have been used as model organisms for the study of soaring and thermoregulation. The energy costs of level flight tend to be high, prompting alternatives to flapping in larger birds. Vultures in particular utilize more efficient flying methods such as soaring. Compared to other birds, which elevate their metabolic rate to upwards of 16 times their basal metabolic rate in flight, soaring griffon vultures expend about 1.43 times their basal metabolic rate in flight. Griffon vultures are also efficient flyers in their ability to return to a resting heart rate after flight within ten minutes.
As large scavengers, griffon vultures have not been observed to seek shelter for thermoregulation. Vultures use their bald heads as a means to thermoregulate in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. Changes in posture can increase bare skin exposure from 7% to 32%. This change allows for the more than doubling of convective heat loss in still air. Griffon vultures have also been found to tolerate increased body temperatures as a response to high ambient temperatures. By allowing their internal body temperature to change independently of their metabolic rate, griffon vultures minimize their loss of water and energy in thermoregulating. One study in particular (Bahat 1995) found that these adaptations have allowed the Griffon vulture to have one of the widest thermal neutral zones of any bird.
It declined markedly throughout the 19th–20th centuries in much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, mainly due to direct persecution and "bycatch" from the poisoned carcasses set for livestock predators (Snow and Perrins 1998, Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). In some areas a reduction in available food supplies, arising from changes in livestock management practices, also had an impact (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). It is very highly vulnerable to the effects of potential wind energy development (Strix 2012) and electrocution has been identified as a threat (Global Raptors Information Network 2015). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for veterinary purposes pose a threat to this species. One case of suspected poisoning caused by flunixin, an NSAID, was recorded in this species in 2012 in Spain (Zorrilla et al. 2015). Diclofenac, a similar NSAID, has caused severe declines in Gyps vulture species across Asia.
I often wonder what prompts elephants to still be aggressive and protective despite being in a protected area.
Culling was discontinued in 1994 which was always directed at family groups and ensuring that none escaped.
This cow elephant may be over 30 years old and therefore may remember those times or it could be just instinct. I like to think however that stories are passed from generation to generation much like in humans.

“There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them. Whenever I’m sad I’m going to die, or so nervous I can’t sleep, or in love with somebody I won’t be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: 'I’ll go take a hot bath.'"
