#2597 Australia is hit every year by some big bushfires, but luckily nature adapted and recovers, the outside of the trees is burned black but the tree survived and is back covered with green leafs

Day 86 / 365

I recovered this from a completely blown out image (entirely white). I must remember not to take a pictures in shadows and then try to get the moon in daylight without adjusting. After I lowered the exposure to get back to the shoot I took, I had an unusual picture that I kinda like. It also shows some sensor banding that I kinda don't like.

This sea lion was resting at Punta Vicente Roca on Isabela Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Pirates and whalers hunted the animals almost to extinction in previous centuries but they have recovered.

Local Pond recovering from fly tipping...plenty of birds around but all darted in the reeds when they spotted me.

The most fascinating thing about Redwood trees for me is how resilient they seem to be...

Hello everyone!! I've been sick these weeks with a cold, or what I hope was a cold, and I've already recovered and I'm back with new things for you!!

You would never know that her leg has a line of staples and stitches in it. She is her old self again...a good and bad thing. lol

Bloodied & tired from dental work but recovering well ... she still has her appetite 'tho we need to be careful ... nothing too soft to too hard ... just mouthfuls to swallow whole.

Here are the best figures I could make out of the castle figs I’ve dug up so far. Was plate feet medieval ever a thing?

This big vine was blown over by strong winds about 5 years ago. Elie, my friend visiting from France, drove a stake into the ground beside it and tied it back upright again. The muscadines tasted great today!

I think the fig tree can be recovered as well.

Will try to get around to everyone’s photos as soon as I can and wanted to give everyone an update on the infusion that I had yesterday. The Monoclonal Infusion was done around 11:00 a.m. and I had to stay for observation for an hour. I drove home and spent the afternoon just taking it easy. I felt a bit different by 6 p.m. and decided to take my temperature. Prior to the infusion, my temp was 99.2 and some 6 hours later that temperature had fallen to 97.5. I was less fatigued, and my cough seemed to be getting a bit better as well. This morning, my temps are still a cool 97.5 and the only lingering effect of the infection is a very minor cough. I have sinus issues that cause me more problems. It is truly a miracle treatment and one that has blown me away at just how effective modern medicine can be.

The treatment is still under review, but the FDA has authorized it for emergency use. All I can say is that it worked extremely well in my case and relieved the symptoms almost immediately. I’ll continue to monitor my condition and keep my fingers crossed. Georgia continues to do well, and we’ll continue to monitor her closely just in case she begins to develop problems.

I want to thank every for their kind thoughts and prayers and want everyone to know that those words are deeply appreciated. I hope we can continue the speedy recovery.

The photo is of a Brown Pelican lunging at some fish in the shallow waters of Armand Bayou. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. Take care and stay well.

This was shot through a dirty hotel window, at a distance, since there was no space on the window ledge, hence the results. From the recently recovered HD, which for years I'd deemed lost and unrecoverable.

Another pic of KJ. This one a few hours after the one I posted the other day. He returned to his cows, and my understanding is he later moved them to a different meadow and away from the rival bulls.

this is what I look like now. I took this when I woke up, and I look tired and serious, but I like it that way. I'm moving back to school soon, leaving my boyfriend and my best friend behind, so my mood has been a bit somber lately. I think everything is going to be just fine.

//on november 19, 2004, a big storm hit the south-eastern slopes of the tatra range in the carpathians, flattening a forest area of around 12.000 ha. more than ten years after, this is how nature is finding its way again.

Gabriel Gehr, age 22, swam in the 2015 Oceanside Pier Swim, in the Restart Males division. He finished 9th in his division and his overall place was 216th out of 278 participants. Gehr’s overall time was 00:33:18.

Gehr sustained shrapnel injuries to his left side in 2013. After a lot of physical therapy and medical appointments, Gehr has gotten to the stage where he could participate in this challenging swim event. A fellow marine walks beside Gehr in support after Gehr completed the swim. For more information, read the article, Ohio Marine Receives Purple Heart.

Additional photos of Gehr show him walking to the race start and exiting the water.

Tarpon Springs is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The population was 23,484 at the 2010 census. Tarpon Springs has the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the US. Downtown Tarpon Springs has long been a focal point and is currently undergoing beautification.

The region, with a series of bayous feeding into the Gulf of Mexico, was first settled by white and black farmers and fishermen around 1876. Some of the newly arrived visitors spotted tarpon jumping out of the waters and so named the location Tarpon Springs. The name is said to have originated with a remark of Mrs. Ormond Boyer, an early settler from South Carolina, and who, while standing on the shore of the Bayou and seeing fish leaping exclaimed, "See the tarpon spring!' However, for the most part, the fish seen splashing here were mullets rather than tarpon. In 1882, Hamilton Disston, who in the previous year had purchased the land where the city of Tarpon Springs now stands, ordered the creation of a town plan for the future city.

On February 12, 1887, Tarpon Springs became the first incorporated city in what is now Pinellas County. Less than a year later on January 13, 1888, the Orange Belt Railway, the first railroad line to be built in what is now Pinellas County, arrived in the city. During this time the area was developed as a wintering spot for wealthy northerners.

In the 1880s, John K. Cheyney founded the first local sponge business. The industry continued to grow in the 1890s. Many people from Key West and the Bahamas settled in Tarpon Springs to hook sponges and then process them. A few Greek immigrants also arrived in this city during the 1890s to work in the sponge industry.

In 1905, John Cocoris introduced the technique of sponge diving to Tarpon Springs by recruiting divers and crew members from Greece. The first divers came from the Saronic Gulf islands of Aegina and Hydra, but they were soon outnumbered by those from the Dodecanese islands of Kalymnos, Symi, and Halki. The sponge industry soon became one of the leading maritime industries in Florida and the most important business in Tarpon Springs, generating millions of dollars a year. The 1953 film Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, depicting the sponge industry, takes place and was filmed in Tarpon Springs.

In 1947, red tide algae bloom wiped out the sponge fields in the Gulf of Mexico, causing many of the sponge boats and divers to switch to shrimping for their livelihood, while others left the business. Eventually, the sponges recovered, allowing for a smaller but consistent sponge industry today. In the 1980s, the sponge business experienced a boom due to a sponge disease that killed the Mediterranean sponges. Today there is still a small active sponge industry. Visitors can often view sponge fishermen working at the Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Boulevard. In addition, visitors can enjoy shops, restaurants, and museum exhibits that detail Tarpon Springs' Greek heritage.

In 2007 and 2008, the City of Tarpon Springs established Sister City relationships with Kalymnos, Halki, Symi, and Larnaca, Cyprus, honoring the close historical link with these Greek-speaking islands.

There are several districts or properties in Tarpon Springs that have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places:

Tarpon Springs Greektown Historic District

Tarpon Springs Historic District

Arcade Hotel

Old Tarpon Springs City Hall

Old Tarpon Springs High School

Safford House

Rose Hill Cemetery

Tarpon Springs Depot

Many sites related to the sponge industry within the Greektown District also have been recognized. They include but are not limited to two sponge packing houses:

E.R. Meres Sponge Packing House

N.G. Arfaras Sponge Packing House

And several boats:

N.K. Symi (Sponge Diving Boat)

Résidence, Duhamel, Québec, Canada

De la grande visite sur la perche de Sophie (la Martin-pêcheur d'Amérique de l'été passé)...

Avril a été un mois particulièrement froid et gris au Québec, la glace vient tout juste de quitter le lac hier le 09 mai 2018 et mes premier oiseaux mouches sont arrivé en après-midi. Il y a eu plusieurs moralités de Cerfs de Virginie tout le mois d'avril et j'avait récupéré une carcasse que j'ai déposé juste sur la glace du lac devant la maison histoire d'avoir de l'action autour de chez moi. J'ai installé ma petite tente camouflage dans l'espoir d'y observer les Pygargues qui avait passé l'hiver dans ma région et qui habituellement passe dans ma vallée lors de leur retour à leurs sites de reproductions plus au nord. Pas de Pygargues mais de Urubus, Corbeaux, Corneilles d'Amérique, renards et loups m'ont rendu

visite.

Residence, Duhamel, Quebec, Canada

Big visit on Sophie's pole (The Kingfisher from last summer)...

April was a particularly cold and gray month in Quebec, the ice just left the lake yesterday, May 09, 2018 and my first Hummingbird arrived in the afternoon. There were many white-tailed deer mortality during April and I had recovered a carcasse that I deposited just on the ice of the lake in front of the house in hope to have action in the area. I set up my little observer tent in the hope of seeing some Bald Eagles that had spent the winter in my area and which usually passes in my valley when they return to their breeding sites further north. No Eagles but Turkey Vulture, Ravens, Crows, foxes and wolves did visited me.
