Le Grèbe huppé niche entre avril et juillet. À cette époque, les adultes portent une double huppe et des oreillettes brunes encadrant la tête. Lors de la parade nuptiale complexe, le mâle et la femelle se font face et dressent le cou. Il nagent de concert, se frottent le cou tout en émettant des cris sonores, plongent puis réapparaissent, l'un des deux présentant des algues à l'autre. Le couple s'immobilise, poitrine contre poitrine, et chaque oiseau tourne la tête d'un côté puis de l'autre. Ce manège peut se perpétuer même lorsque les grèbes sont occupés à la construction du nid. Ce dernier est constitué principalement d'algues . Il peut reposer sur un fond vaseux mais il est conçu en principe pour affleurer la surface. Il peut également flotter mais il est alors arrimé à une souche ou à un paquet de végétaux entremêlés. Les adultes en garnissent la coupe peu profonde de végétaux qui servent à recouvrir les œufs si les adultes s'absentent du nid. La ponte est composée de 3 à 6 œufs blancs qui virent ensuite au brun et deviennent de ce fait plus discrets. Les adultes couvent en se relayant toutes les quelques heures. L'éclosion intervient au bout de 28 jours. Les jeunes sont capables de nager aussitôt mais ils restent dépendants de leurs parents plusieurs semaines.

The Great Crested Grebe nestles between April and July. At this time, adults wear a double crest and brown atria framing the head. During the complex courtship, the male and the female face each other and raise the neck. They swim together, rub their necks while emitting loud cries, dive and then reappear, one of them having algae to another. The couple stands still, chest to chest, and each bird turns its head on one side then the other. This ride can continue even when grebes are busy building the nest. The latter consists mainly of algae. It can rest on a muddy bottom but it is designed in principle to be flush with the surface. It can also float but is then stowed to a stump or a bundle of plants intermingled. Adults fill the shallow cut of plants that cover the eggs if adults are absent from the nest. The egg is composed of 3 to 6 white eggs which turn brown then become more discreet. Adult convent by taking turns every few hours. The hatching occurs after 28 days. The young are able to swim immediately but remain dependent on their parents for several weeks.

Tucked deep in the bush on its' roosting perch, where it remained from early morning until the evening set in.
The remaining men are back battered and blooded from their last battle... our village is still at risk of being taken over. We must act fast and keep us all safe... the women decide to fight back...

was blieb,
waren ein paar gedankenfragmente
eine weit entfernte stimme,
ein hauch melancholie.
was verlorenging,
war das brennen
überstürzender strahlenbündel
schauernden glücks.
....und doch:
wenn du die bereits zugewehten spuren wieder freilegtest,
versuchtest, sie nochmals zu lesen,
spürtest du den heiligen schauer, wüßtest
du lebst.

The German militairy cemetry in Vladso (Belgium)
While the cemetries of the Allied troops have stark white colors, those of the German troops are gray- black and look dead and gloomy.
While the militairy cemetries are an example of discipline and structure, the German variants lack alignment and logic.
It was long be argued that this would be regulated in the Articles 225 and 226, from the Treaty of Versailles, but whoever reads these articles will find that this view is incorrect.
The real reason is that the French after the end of the insane war were ordered tot give the German dead their final resting place and collected the bodies in the sector of Ypres and burried them on free pieces of land, altough it was not obvious that they each received an individual tombstone.
So what we see here is in fact a mass grave, covered with granite slabs bearing their names.
Black evokes bad feelings and the Germans were in the eyes of the Allied the agressor, despite the fact that during investigations after the insane war it appeared that all warring parties had engaged in aggression and had committed atrocities. France, England and Italy had already secretly divided the territories of Germany and its colonies, the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in the heat of the battle!
It was of paramount legal importance that, according to the President of the United States Wilson's conviction, Germany should be held responsible but not blamed for the insane war breaking out. However they were incomprehensible responsible for the reparations!
The fact that the Germans and English soldiers at the front still had peaceful feelings towards eachother is evident from the inconceivable Christmas truce in 1914 that took place in the sector of Ypres.
This incomprehensible event of peace and fraternity during the heat of the battle took also place on field sites in many other sections at the front.
The German front soldiers started on Christmas eve 1914 by singing "Silent Night" and shouting "Merry Christmas".
When the British soldiers realized that this was well-meant, they came out of their trenches and even went to exchange their Christmas presents from home.
On Christmas Day, they played football together in the no-man's-land, the piece of land between the trenches of the warring armies; ordinairy soldiers who were tired of the war could momentarily throw of the yoke of the insane war.
When the army commanders, or rather the butchers, got wind of this, these fraternizing actions were officially stricktly forbidden from above and held out very severe punishments if the fightings were not resumed immedialy. The ensuing battles would claim millions of lives on the whole front.

Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it. Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times :-)

Moving this image to the top of my photostream as Russia is ramping up its unprovoked, unjust and ultimately senseless war in Ukraine. We are standing for freedom together!

In March 2016, I published this image under the title "For Brussels, with Sorrow". Since then, so many people have died in similar attacks all over the world... I would like to make it a tribute to all of them, victims of brutal and senseless terrorism.

. . . . . (from the day the photo was published here) . . . . . . . .
Yesterday, in my ongoing review and cleaning of my old photos in Lightroom, I arrived to photos taken in Brussels. This morning, I heard the terrible news; another terrible news of the same kind: a score of innocent people killed and maimed by a bunch of insane lunatics. I love Brussels, and my heart goes out to the victims’ relatives and friends. I just can’t remain silent. From my small collection, I have chosen this photo of a sculptural composition with the name and author unknown to me. Today, I interpret it as a memorial to the victims who could still live, love, laugh, and work to make their city even more beautiful…
I arrived to the southerly point of Porthminster Beach at St Ives, having already photographed the sunrise at the town end. The sun had been consumed by an advancing bank of cloud by this point, yet there remained a tantalising glimpse of warmth along the horizon. The weak light had just enough power to illuminate the attractive turquoise sea, which was quite literally central to the whole shot. Godrevy broods in the distance.
One of the fallen from the storms earlier this year forms a barricade at the top of the slope of The Hangings at Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire. I was quite relieved that although many fell, the overall population managed to survive.

Previously unpublished archive shot from April 2017. One that would probably remained in my unseen archive had it not been for a shortage of new shots to post thanks to the pandemic. I hope that you like it!
This capture was taken during our summer vacation in southern France. With the girls on the pool, I had some extra time to play with my gear and try to capture smaller things. Even not taken this with a specific macro lens, I like the bumblebee all over remaining lavender....stay safe and away, cheers, Udo

♥ Drinks for everybody,it's all on me ... ♥
Honey wine of the moon-unfolded flowers,
which fairies catch in vases and prattle their joy in sleep ...
Good-night ?
Ah ! No; the hour is ill
which severs those it should unite ...
Let us remain together still,
Then it will be good night ...

Terrace Gardens, Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sigiriya is truly unique not only for its remaining ruins, but also for its stunning location.
The palace ruins on the summit of Sigiriya rock consist of several massive brick walls and pools, which were carved into the solid rock, and the sheer drop-offs on any side of the summit offer panoramic views in all directions.
The entry to the summit leads through massive Lion's claws which are the remains of what was once a much larger structure. In ancient times, the stairway lead straight into the mouth of a lion, and the name Sigiriya, which literally means Lions Rock, stems from this impressive monument.
The Royal gardens below the rock are among the most important and spectacular features of Sigiriya, and are considered to be among the oldest landscaped gardens in the world.
but what remained were glorious! Devil's Hopyard in East Haddam, CT. About 850 acres of walking trails with a covered bridge and beautiful waterfalls--when there is water. Connecticut is in the middle of a severe drought, but there was this much water still left!

„Aaron's beard“
„Judenbart“
The whimsical plant with its tiny flowers bears the beautiful name "Aaron's beard" and since I am one of the least 'politically correct' people on this "round earth" and I also deeply despise those 'gendering' persons, it is a special pleasure for me...! 😎
Die wunderliche Pflanze mit ihren winzigen Blüten trägt den schönen Namen „Judenbart“ und weil ich einer der am wenigsten 'politisch korrekten' Menschen auf diesem „Erdenrund“ bin und weil ich auch jene 'gendernden' Personen zutiefst verachte, ist es mir eine besondere Freude...! 😎

The sole remaining commercial passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the southern hemisphere crossing Lake Wakatipu. An Edwardian steamship built in 1912, the TSS Earnslaw is a 1912 vintage twin screw steamer. A beautiful display of engineering from the age of steam, or a polluting relic? Love to hear peoples thoughts on this? Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand.

A slice of toast loaded with Vintage Dundee Orange Marmalade.
"In 1797 the first jar of marmalade was produced in Dundee, Scotland. Mackays, a family business, is now the last remaining producer of the Dundee Orange Marmalade in the Dundee area - 'The Home of Marmalade'
Using traditional open copper pans, the highest quality bitter Seville oranges and their authentic methods, ensure rich fruit flavours in every batch and that special home-made taste you expect"
It was delicious!!

Solomon's seal is an old cottage garden plant that appears early in spring, producing graceful, arching stems with precisely paired, oval leaves along their length. These are quickly joined by dangling, green-tipped, white bells that persist throughout late spring and early summer. Stems and foliage remain eye-catching even after the flowers are over.
You will remain
Always be there

[03:08] Katrina Lannister received the towel from her brother, thankful that he was here as well, as she would softly wipe whatever excess remained on the babe, she smiled at the name of Tommen, having all learned of that very name when she was young. With the bundle of joy still in her arms, she would make her way around the bed returning for Aunt Naerra to get a closer view of the babe. She smiled, though her eyes remained back to the Maester and it wasn't until she read his face, that she knew something was wrong too. Katrina glanced to the placenta that has been delivered but the blood that came with it was a lot, more than it should be.
Heart raced with fear and worrisome as she glanced to her aunt, and Katrina's chest heaved up and down as she feared what she was most scared of. Immediately, Katrina walked around to the other side of the bed, carefully handing the babe in her arm over to her Mae as she has experience now of holding newborn babes. And if she'd take it, Katrina would quickly go to the Maester's side. Katrina hissed at Maester, she looked to him, "What have you done?!" With a panic, blood after blood, each of the towels were soaked of crimson red. Katrina's eyes starting welling up as she swayed back and forth, "No.. no.." she sobbed with panic, she watched the Maester try to stop the blood. No matter how many times her brother called for her, her hands trembled in shock and she could not pull herself out of her thoughts, the trauma inflicted her from the death from even her mother and now Aunt Naerra? She was glued to the spot as she looked on with horror and shock on her face.

In Florida, Bald Eagles( Haliaeetus leucocephalus) begin nest maintenance and building in mid-October. It takes about 20 weeks to hatch eggs and raise the young until they fly. During the nesting cycle, the parents remain within one to two miles of the nest. We rarely see Bald Eagles in Florida from May to October.
