So many questions that I don't have answers to.
What songs are we going to do? Who is going to play? What about this one? What about this one? Can I ___ ? What's my motivation? What's your motivation? Does this bother me? If it does, why? Should it bother me? Do I have time to do this? How important are my Saturday evenings? Do you really need the money? What are you doing here? When are you coming home? What do I need to stop doing? What am I doing?
I took a nap when I got home from work today to restart my brain. 'Cause it crashed ... apparently my brain is a PC. Crap.

The Piercing Question
Peter’s response to this piercing question is considerably different from the bold defiance he exhibited only a few days before when he declared, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” (Matthew 26:35; also see verses 33–34). Our natural individuality, or our natural self, boldly speaks out and declares its feelings. But the true love within our inner spiritual self can be discovered only by experiencing the hurt of this question of Jesus Christ. Peter loved Jesus in the way any natural man loves a good person. Yet that is nothing but emotional love. It may reach deeply into our natural self, but it never penetrates to the spirit of a person. True love never simply declares itself. Jesus said, “Whoever confesses Me before men [that is, confesses his love by everything he does, not merely by his words], him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God” (Luke 12:8).
Unless we are experiencing the hurt of facing every deception about ourselves, we have hindered the work of the Word of God in our lives. The Word of God inflicts hurt on us more than sin ever could, because sin dulls our senses. But this question of the Lord intensifies our sensitivities to the point that this hurt produced by Jesus is the most exquisite pain conceivable. It hurts not only on the natural level, but also on the deeper spiritual level. “For the Word of God is living and powerful . . . , piercing even to the division of soul and spirit . . .”—to the point that no deception can remain (Hebrews 4:12). When the Lord asks us this question, it is impossible to think and respond properly, because when the Lord speaks directly to us, the pain is too intense. It causes such a tremendous hurt that any part of our life which may be out of line with His will can feel the pain. There is never any mistaking the pain of the Lord’s Word by His children, but the moment that pain is felt is the very moment at which God reveals His truth to us.
O Lord, this morning disperse every mist. Shine forth clear and strong and invigoratingly.
John 21:17 (My Utmost for His Highest#YouVersion)

This trophic interaction is that of a pill pug using decaying wood as a home and as a food source.
I would think that the most influential species in my location used to be the white-tailed deer that lived there. This was the area they often bedded down in and they made the area their own. However, due to construction they no longer inhabit the area. The current influential species is most likely now the grasses/flowers in most of the floor area. They provide food for the herbivores in the area, a nesting space for the insects, cover for potential prey animals. Without it, the space would be a completely different ecosystem, probably, at most, a tree filled section. At worst it would be muddy dirt and ground with a much smaller species diversity, as the grasses provide many things for many organisms. If you replaced it with an invasive species, the surrounding forest area would be taken over. If the invasive species could survive, it would overwhelm the nearby marshy land, draining the water and the current cabbage plants. There are invasive species that could easily strangle and kill the trees nearby. In fact, in the past we have actually had problems with vine type plants that have had to be forcibly removed before tree death occurred.
One organism in the area is the rabbit (the picture of dead furs and whatnot). The article would say that this herbivore is not limited by food, but by the predators. In this area, that would be coyotes, foxes, and possibly large feral cats. The mosquito would be limited by prey. If there are no prey for the mosquitoes, then they will not be able to breed in the area. The skunk cabbage in the area is probably limited by nutrient flow (and predation?). There is no lack of water in the marshy section, so that is probably not a limiting factor.
Question; There are three different types of ecosystem in my small area; marshland, tree cover, and a grassy clearing. Are these shifting? I would suspect that over time the grassy clearing area will grow into the tree cover, with very little undergrowth. The new trees might be enough to drain the small marshland area, shifting that to grasses; or possibly the marshland is what is preventing the grassy clearing from supporting trees. What is the role of succession in my area?

@sarah.jane_art sharing her story on qualification in UK and transition from one specialisation to another. Capturing the pathway from planning to urban design... The idea was to make architecture & design of the built environment accessible to everyone around the world no matter who you are and it is now a real project. The intent is to culminate a network of specialists who are available for questions, consultation and collaboration. It is a place for sharing experience, resources, tools, skills, design and innovation no matter the scale or complexity of the posed question or project.

Question: "what would you want to be your next big achievement?"
Answer:" retirement really isn't on my radar, and so when that does come, I would like to not just go home and sit on the couch with the dogs, but to still be an effective part of my community, even though I'm not working. I don't know what god has in store for me, I'm open to it. Whenever it comes to it , I'm happy."

STREET URCHINS
In psychology there has long been a debate about which has more influence on a person’s life: nature (their inherent tendencies and characteristics), or nurture (the environment in which they are raised and in which their development occurs).
I believe that this set of wild weed flower photos helps to answer that question.
But first, some background.
- - - - -
Yesterday (Thursday, April 14) was a strange day: An odd energy was in the air; time itself seemed to be distorted or experienced in an unusual way. Strange phenomena occurred.
We experienced a weird session of what seemed to be aerial spraying in the skies:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail_conspiracy_theory
Afterwards there were odd contrails and clouds with strange halos about them, and the sun’s light became hazy and weird.
And then I experienced yet another odd occurrence…without resetting my camera’s controls I removed the battery to recharge it, and when I replaced the battery and turned my camera on my camera’s EV setting changed to -3, which I didn’t notice until I took photos and noticed that the camera’s shutter was acting strange (you can tell from the duration of the shutter’s click how fast it is closing) and seemed to be sluggish, and then when I processed the photos I noticed that they looked dark.
I reset the EV to zero; checked to make sure that all of the other controls were normal, and reshot my photos…the weed flowers in my set I have titled “Street Urchins.” For these little flowers are literally street urchins: Rather than the photos of the symmetrical, healthy, pretty little weed flowers that have grown in my yard and been lovingly admired these photos are of weed flowers that have grown wild along the roadside, and they have been subjected to a much different energy than the others, and it shows in the photos!
As my Brother and Friend in Ukraine, Alex, said when we were discussing these obvious differences, these little flowers appear to be “damaged inside.” The wild energy they have experienced from passing cars, motorcycles, bicyclists, walkers with their dogs, animals wild and otherwise, and the whimsies of nature they seem to have internalized in a much different way than the “well cared for” little weed flowers in my yard, and it is visible externally: Their growth is asymmetrical, uneven, distorted. Their colors are odd, refusing to normalize even through extensive post-processing. They were even difficult to focus on, difficult to photograph normally. Odd artifacts and distortions appear.
The most dramatic example is in the difference between these two photos, the first one being the weed flower that grew in my yard, the next photo being an identical weed flower but growing wild by the roadside:

So obviously nurture is extremely important for a thing’s well-being in all respects and regards, be it human, animal, plant, etc. But nurture will not change a thing’s inherent nature: If a person is inherently evil, then the best environment will simply turn out a well-dressed, better educated criminal.
Life’s lessons learned from the realm of weed flowers; powerful, large lessons from something so tiny and seemingly insignificant.

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter…again that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/16" in diameter across its widest part! For a reference to its size I have also included a photo of that bud next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the bud.
I am delighting in discovering the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored or downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!
