When I saw the report that the Leucistic Bald Eagle made an appearance in the morning I knew I had to take my chances at this super rare raptor. I left at 4a.m. and drove two hours South. I had to wait for the sun to rise, but found him immediately crunching bones from a fish he was holding down on the mudflats. Shortly after he perched just above us next to the walking trail. Still no light but extremely close. He was very calm as he did not flinch when a jogger came by. He flew to this Eucalyptus several times and perched calmly for several minutes. The light was starting to filter through the leaves in the background as this majestic beauty posed for us. It was a very awe inspiring experience I will never forget. We had a solid two hours to photograph him that morning. He eventually flew off into the distance and we were admiring and reflecting on this one of a kind beauty.
Maybe wider by the minute . . . We knew when we rescued her that it was likely kittens were on the way. Holly is thriving and very happy to be safe here with us! We love her and can manage whatever comes! ❤️

"Have you ever noticed a small patch of clearing amidst a gray overcast? That's known as a "sucker hole."
The general origin of the term is that the tiny area of blue sky tricks some people to think that maybe the skies are going to clear up, only to duped when the hole disappears and the solid overcast returns -- as in Mother Nature going: "Sucker!"
Pilots can sometime report a "sucker hole" as a break in the overcast to fly through, only to have the hole close up before the plane gets there.”

shot these without realizing they're my new nemesis and my old best friend. love grapes, especially as wine and homemade grape jelly, but they're toxic to dogs (sorry, more dog stuff). those the birds haven't eaten are now all over the ground. hound boy doesn't miss a thing.
For the non-Australian's the Royal Commission investigating the Federal Robodebt Scheme handed down it's final, damning report. The report covers the politicians, public servants and architects of the automated debt collection scheme that was fundamentally illegal and mathematically flawed. It targeted approx 500,000 of the nations poorest people. Finally there is hope of justice with a sealed section being sent to the newly commissioned National Anti-Corruption Commission. If you want to read how ideology got in the way of good public policy see here: robodebt.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/2023-07/repo.... Here's hoping politicians on all sides take heed. As to truth in politics, I'm still being disappointed by much of the debates on a whole range of important topics.

Yesterday we were awakened at 5am with a very loud and bright lightning/rain storm. The storms rolled in and out all day, a welcome relief from the summer heat. : )
SN/NC: Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana, Crassulaceae Family
K. blossfeldiana is native to Madagascar (USDA-ARS, 2016). It has naturalized in China, India, North, Central and South America, the West Indies and on many islands in the Pacific Ocean (see the Distribution Table for details; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2015; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016; PIER, 2016). K. blossfeldiana is cultivated as ornamental in the Netherlands (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) and it is probably also cultivated in other European countries. Because the species is cultivated worldwide, its current distribution range is probably wider than the range reported here. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is probably the most popular and widely cultivated Kalanchoe species. It is often planted as an indoor potted plant and as an outdoor ornamental. This species has escaped from cultivation and can be found naturalized in disturbed and waste areas near cultivation. Currently it is listed as invasive in the Dominican Republic, Chile and the Galapagos Islands. English: Christmas kalanchoe; kalanchoe; Madagascar widow's-thrill; widow’s thrill. Spanish: bruja; mala madre; tope tope
K. blossfeldiana é nativa de Madagascar (USDA-ARS, 2016). Ela se naturalizou na China, Índia, América do Norte, Central e do Sul, Índias Ocidentais e em muitas ilhas no Oceano Pacífico (veja a Tabela de Distribuição para detalhes; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2015; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016; PIER, 2016). K. blossfeldiana é cultivada como ornamental na Holanda (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) e provavelmente também é cultivada em outros países europeus. Como a espécie é cultivada em todo o mundo, sua distribuição atual é provavelmente mais ampla do que a relatada aqui. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana é provavelmente a espécie de Kalanchoe mais popular e amplamente cultivada. Ela é frequentemente plantada como uma planta em vasos internos e como ornamental externa. Esta espécie escapou do cultivo e pode ser encontrada naturalizada em áreas perturbadas e devastadas perto do cultivo. Atualmente está listado como invasor na República Dominicana, Chile e Ilhas Galápagos
Nomes Populares: Calanchoê, Calancoê, Calandiva, Flor-da-fortuna, Flor-do-papai, Kalanchoê, Kalandiva. Planta suculenta, de folhas com margens rendadas. O calanchoê tem um significado especial, considerada a flor-da-fortuna e da felicidade é muito presenteada entre amigos e parentes.
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana es una especie del género Kalanchoe, endémica de Madagascar. Planta suculenta que pueden alcanzar 30-40 cm de altura por unos 20 cm de ancho con brillantes hojas carnosas de color verde oscuro cuyo tamaño alcanza entre 7 cm de largo por 4 de anchura. La inflorescencia es un corto tallo con hasta tres pares de hojas (distintas a las del resto de la planta), que nace de las axilas de las hojas, al final de este tallo surgen en forma de racimo numerosas flores con 4 pétalos de unos 4 mm de diámetro, éstas pueden ser rojas, purpúreas, anaranjadas, amarillas, blancas. Su época de floración natural abarca desde finales del invierno hasta finales de primavera. Es muy utilizada como planta de interior y comúnmente cultivada en jardines en zonas de clima cálido, ya que no soporta temperaturas por debajo de los 10 °C. Se puede forzar el periodo natural de floración cubriendo la planta para que tenga menos horas de luz al día. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana fue descrita por Karl von Poellnitz y publicado en Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 35(918/927): 159 159 1934. Kalanchoe: nombre genérico que se supone fue nombrado por una de sus especies (posiblemente Kalanchoe spathulata ) y su nombre chino 伽藍菜 / 伽蓝菜 jiāláncài , cantonés galaamchoi. Una segunda explicación se deriva del nombre de la antigua palabras indias: Kalanka = "manchas, óxido" y chaya = de. Blossfeldiana: epíteto otorgado en honor del distribuidor de plantas alemán Robert Blossfeld (1882–1945).
K. blossfeldiana stammt ursprünglich aus Madagaskar (USDA-ARS, 2016). Sie ist in China, Indien, Nord-, Mittel- und Südamerika, Westindien und auf vielen Inseln im Pazifischen Ozean eingebürgert (siehe die Verbreitungstabelle für Einzelheiten; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2015; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016; PIER, 2016). K. blossfeldiana wird in den Niederlanden als Zierpflanze kultiviert (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) und wird wahrscheinlich auch in anderen europäischen Ländern kultiviert. Da die Art weltweit kultiviert wird, ist ihr aktuelles Verbreitungsgebiet wahrscheinlich größer als das hier angegebene. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana ist wahrscheinlich die beliebteste und am weitesten verbreitete Kalanchoe-Art. Sie wird oft als Topfpflanze für den Innenbereich und als Zierpflanze für den Außenbereich gepflanzt. Diese Art ist aus der Kultivierung entkommen und kann eingebürgert in gestörten und brachliegenden Gebieten in der Nähe von Kultivierungen gefunden werden. Derzeit wird sie in der Dominikanischen Republik, Chile und den Galapagosinseln als invasiv eingestuft.
K. blossfeldiana est originaire de Madagascar (USDA-ARS, 2016). Elle s'est naturalisée en Chine, en Inde, en Amérique du Nord, en Amérique centrale et en Amérique du Sud, aux Antilles et sur de nombreuses îles de l'océan Pacifique (voir le tableau de répartition pour plus de détails ; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012 ; Jørgensen et al., 2015 ; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016 ; PIER, 2016). K. blossfeldiana est cultivée comme plante ornementale aux Pays-Bas (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) et elle est probablement aussi cultivée dans d'autres pays européens. Comme l'espèce est cultivée dans le monde entier, son aire de répartition actuelle est probablement plus large que celle rapportée ici. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana est probablement l'espèce de Kalanchoe la plus populaire et la plus cultivée. Elle est souvent plantée comme plante d'intérieur en pot et comme plante ornementale d'extérieur. Cette espèce s'est échappée des cultures et peut être trouvée naturalisée dans des zones perturbées et en friche à proximité des cultures. Actuellement, il est classé comme espèce envahissante en République dominicaine, au Chili et aux îles Galapagos.
K. blossfeldiana è originaria del Madagascar (USDA-ARS, 2016). Si è naturalizzata in Cina, India, America settentrionale, centrale e meridionale, nelle Indie occidentali e in molte isole dell'Oceano Pacifico (vedere la tabella di distribuzione per i dettagli; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2015; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016; PIER, 2016). K. blossfeldiana è coltivata come ornamentale nei Paesi Bassi (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) e probabilmente è coltivata anche in altri paesi europei. Poiché la specie è coltivata in tutto il mondo, il suo attuale intervallo di distribuzione è probabilmente più ampio di quello riportato qui. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana è probabilmente la specie di Kalanchoe più popolare e ampiamente coltivata. È spesso piantata come pianta in vaso da interno e come ornamentale da esterno. Questa specie è sfuggita alla coltivazione e può essere trovata naturalizzata in aree disturbate e incolte vicino alla coltivazione. Attualmente è elencato come invasivo nella Repubblica Dominicana, in Cile e nelle Isole Galapagos
K. blossfeldiana is afkomstig uit Madagaskar (USDA-ARS, 2016). De plant is genaturaliseerd in China, India, Noord-, Midden- en Zuid-Amerika, West-Indië en op veel eilanden in de Stille Oceaan (zie de distributietabel voor details; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2015; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016; PIER, 2016). K. blossfeldiana wordt in Nederland gekweekt als sierplant (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) en waarschijnlijk ook in andere Europese landen. Omdat de soort wereldwijd wordt gekweekt, is het huidige verspreidingsgebied waarschijnlijk groter dan het hier gerapporteerde verspreidingsgebied. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is waarschijnlijk de populairste en meest gekweekte Kalanchoe-soort. De plant wordt vaak geplant als potplant binnenshuis en als sierplant buitenshuis. Deze soort is ontsnapt uit de teelt en kan genaturaliseerd worden aangetroffen in verstoorde en verlaten gebieden in de buurt van teelt. Momenteel staat het op de lijst van invasieve soorten in de Dominicaanse Republiek, Chili en de Galapagoseilanden.
K. blossfeldiana はマダガスカル原産です (USDA-ARS, 2016)。中国、インド、北米、中米、南米、西インド諸島、太平洋の多くの島々に帰化しています (詳細は分布表を参照; Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2015; Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016; PIER, 2016)。K. blossfeldiana はオランダで観賞用として栽培されており (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016)、他のヨーロッパ諸国でも栽培されていると思われます。この種は世界中で栽培されているため、現在の分布範囲はここで報告されている範囲よりも広いと思われます。Kalanchoe blossfeldiana はおそらく最も人気があり、広く栽培されている Kalanchoe 種です。屋内の鉢植えとして、また屋外の観賞用として植えられることが多いです。この種は栽培地から逃げ出し、栽培地近くの荒廃した地域や荒廃した地域で帰化しているのが見られます。現在、ドミニカ共和国、チリ、ガラパゴス諸島では侵入種としてリストされています。
K. blossfeldiana نبات أصلي في مدغشقر (USDA-ARS, 2016). وقد تجنس في الصين والهند وأمريكا الشمالية والوسطى والجنوبية وجزر الهند الغربية والعديد من الجزر في المحيط الهادئ (انظر جدول التوزيع للحصول على التفاصيل؛ Ministerio Medio Ambiente, 2012؛ Jørgensen et al., 2015؛ Flora of North America Editorial Committee, 2016؛ PIER, 2016). يُزرع K. blossfeldiana كنبات زينة في هولندا (Kalanchoe Growers, 2016) ومن المحتمل أن يُزرع أيضًا في دول أوروبية أخرى. نظرًا لأن هذا النوع يُزرع في جميع أنحاء العالم، فمن المحتمل أن يكون نطاق توزيعه الحالي أوسع من النطاق المذكور هنا. ربما يكون Kalanchoe blossfeldiana هو أكثر أنواع Kalanchoe شيوعًا وانتشارًا. غالبًا ما يُزرع كنبات أصيص داخلي وكنبات زينة خارجي. لقد هرب هذا النوع من الزراعة ويمكن العثور عليه متوطنًا في المناطق المضطربة والبور القريبة من الزراعة. وهو مدرج حاليًا على أنه غازي في جمهورية الدومينيكان وتشيلي وجزر غالاباغوس

L'Hôpital Plaza has been abandoned for nearly two decades. Originally built as a seminary, it also served as a hospital during WW1 and WW2.
There were reports of a Great Gray Owl up north that I had to check out. Last year there was also one just a tad more North which was the first in over twenty years. To have two years in a row of Great Gray Owls in Northern California was just baffling news and a very rare!
I drove four hours North with a friend and we were very welcomed by a very kind and hospitable owner. She allowed a small group of us onto her property and we had the pleasure of photographing this majestic owl.
The first day the owl stayed fairly high and he sat stagnant at a few spots for long periods of time. He studied different holes on the ground and we all tried to guess where he might fly down to. I gambled and cheated left and knelt down based on what my intuition was resonating. I chose correctly as I was knelt down and tracked him on his way towards me. He was probably 10-15 feet away from me as he ripped his prey from the hole and carried it away into a Redwood tree where he took the time to eat it. This prey was large he couldn't just gulp it so he had to downsize it by picking it to pieces before he swallowed it.
We had a very action filled second day and came away with great memories and company.
We were the last group of people she allowed onto her property as she expressed to us that she didn't want to handle anymore large groups. We were grateful for her hospitality and the opportunity she allowed us to have.
The secret is out, and the Canadian internet groups imploded after the release of five SD70ACU's painted to honor the Canadian and United States Armed Forces. Thanks to the team at CP for making this possible, as well as putting on a great ceremony at the Calgary headquarters on Remembrance Day 2019. The 5 meter barrier around the units was a nice touch, as every fan managed to get lots of sunny shots without having to use a people filter.
It's going to be interesting to shoot these units on the road, with the variations in dark and light paint each one will present challenges to the photographer, but its bette rthen dirty red!

The Racetrack is a playa--a dry lakebed--best known for its strange moving rocks. Located in a remote area of California's Death Valley National Park, the heavy stones appear to move across the dried lake bed known as Racetrack Playa, leaving a trail behind them in the cracked mud.
In years past, the apparent movement was blamed on everything from space aliens and magnetic fields to pranksters. But until recently no one had actually seen the rocks move, which only added to the mystery.
As noted on the National Park Service website, the mystery was finally solved in 2014 when in a paper published in the August 27, PLOS ONE, a team led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, paleobiologist Richard Norris reported on first-hand observations of the phenomenon. Because the stones can sit for a decade or more without moving, the researchers did not originally expect to see motion in person. Instead, they decided to monitor the rocks remotely by installing a high-resolution weather station capable of measuring gusts to 1 second intervals and fitting 15 rocks with custom-built, motion-activated GPS units. The experiment was set up in Winter 2011 with permission of the National Park Service. Then –in what Ralph Lorenz of the Applied Physics Laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University, one of the paper's authors, suspected would be "the most boring experiment ever" –they waited for something to happen.
But in December 2013, Norris and co-author James Norris (of Interwoof and Richard's cousin) arrived in Death Valley to discover that the playa was covered with a shallow pond no more than seven centimeters (three inches) deep. Shortly after, the rocks began moving.
Their observations show that moving the rocks requires a rare combination of events. First, the playa fills with water, which must be deep enough to allow formation of floating ice during cold winter nights but shallow enough to expose the rocks. As nighttime temperatures plummet, the pond freezes to form sheets of "windowpane" ice, which must be thin enough to move freely but thick enough to maintain strength. On sunny days, the ice begins to melt and break up into large floating panels, which light winds drive across the playa pool. The ice sheets shove rocks in front of them and the moving stones leave trails in the soft mud bed below the pool surface.
I don't know...I am still going with the space alien theory!
Ukrainians!
Our defenders!
I am sure that you periodically see in the media - Ukrainian and Western - reports on how long this war can last. Some say a few weeks. Others - several years. Some say the war will last until the end of this year. And someone advises to prepare for a permanent confrontation with Russia as long as it exists.
Of course, I also hear different predictions. I have much more information than some media outlets about the intentions and capabilities of the Russian army. About the potential of the Russian economy. About the emotional state of society in Russia. All this must be taken into account before saying how long the war will last. Therefore, we must take into account the effectiveness of instruments of influence on Russia used by Ukraine and our entire anti-war coalition against Russia's aggression.
The success of our military on the battlefield is really significant. Historically significant. But not enough to clean our land from the occupiers yet. We’ll beat them more.
Sanctions against Russia are very significant. Economically painful. But still not enough for the Russian military machine to be left without means of subsistence. We promote stronger, more destructive ones.
So, in fact, it is these two areas that determine how long this war will last.
I always tell all our partners with whom I discuss this issue that the amount of support for Ukraine directly affects the restoration of peace. It literally defines how many more Ukrainians the occupiers will manage to kill.
If someone says: year or years, I answer: you can make the war much shorter. The more and the sooner we get all the weapons we have requested, the stronger our position will be and the sooner peace will come. The more and the sooner we get the financial support we have requested, the sooner there will be peace. The sooner the democratic world recognizes that the oil embargo against Russia and the complete blockade of its banking sector are necessary steps towards peace, the sooner the war will end.
So the number one task is to speed up the restoration of peace.
Our Armed Forces are doing it brilliantly. They are repelling the occupiers' attacks. They are carrying out counterattacks. They have already tormented - in the true sense of the word - Russian conventional aviation so much that they are forced to use strategic long-range aircraft.
I am grateful to each of our defenders for this great work.
Our diplomats must continue their activity in all possible directions, at all possible levels. Both official and unofficial.
The next package of sanctions against Russia must include an abandonment of Russian oil. In general, the democratic world must admit that money for Russian energy resources is in fact money for the destruction of democracy. When these decisions are made, we will all be able to see that peace is approaching.
I held a meeting with government officials today. The key topic is the solution of urgent economic issues that arose during martial law.
It was noted that four-fifths of all Ukrainian enterprises have already returned to work in a safe area. In particular, this applies to heavy industry enterprises. Transport networks are being rebuilt. Good performance is shown in trade and services. And all this is also the fulfillment of the national task of accelerating the restoration of peace.
That is why I am grateful to everyone who keeps jobs, who employs our people, who helps businesses adapt to these difficult conditions and gives Ukraine the necessary economic strength to live.
No matter what, in all cities and communities where there are no occupiers and hostilities, it is necessary to restore the economy to the maximum.
Energy issues and the end of this heating season were discussed. The season was successful in spite of everything. Despite all the predictions, tariffs have not increased. There were no rolling blackouts. Supplies were not disrupted even in wartime. Preparations have also begun for the next heating season. We discussed the purchase of gas, the purchase of coal.
We offer at least for the next 6 months the electricity tariff in the amount of 1 hryvnia 44 kopecks per kilowatt for those who use less than 250 kilowatts. This is 80% of our people.
The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food reported that the sowing campaign has begun and continues in all regions of our country, including Luhansk and Donetsk.
We also talked to government officials today about filling in the questionnaire that Ukraine received from President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. This is a necessary stage in the preparation of our country to become a candidate for EU membership. The work is almost complete, and we will soon provide the answers to the representatives of the European Union.
I held an important meeting today with all the leaders of the state power bloc. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Chief of the General Staff, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Commander of the National Guard, Minister of Internal Affairs, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine. The meeting was also attended by the Head of the President's Office, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council and the head of our delegation at the negotiations. The main topic is Mariupol. Details cannot be made public at the moment. But we are doing everything to save our people.
The restoration of normal life in those areas and districts where the occupiers were expelled continues. The amount of work is really huge. 918 settlements of different scales, but equally important for us, for Ukraine, have already been de-occupied.
We carry out demining. We restore the supply of electricity, water and gas. We restore the work of the police, post office, state and local authorities.
Humanitarian headquarters have started working on the territory of 338 liberated settlements. We are resuming the provision of regular and emergency medical care, the work of educational institutions - where it is really possible. In total, on this day, Russian troops have destroyed or damaged 1,018 educational institutions across our country.
Restoration of roads and railways has begun. In particular, from tomorrow the railway connection with Chernihiv and Nizhyn will be restored. Trains are already running between the cities of the Sumy region.
The teams of Ukravtodor and Ukrzaliznytsia work quite efficiently, and I am grateful to them for this speed. For giving people back a sense of normal life, which the occupiers tried to destroy forever.
In the south and east of our country, the situation is still very difficult, far from talking about recovery.
In the occupied districts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, the Russian military continue to terrorize civilian residents of our country. They are looking for anyone who has ever been associated with the Ukrainian army or government agencies.
The occupiers think that this will somehow make it easier for them to control the territory. But they are wrong. They deceive themselves. The problem of the occupiers is not that they are not accepted by some activists, veterans or journalists. Russia's problem is that the entire Ukrainian people does not accept it and will never accept it again. Russia lost Ukraine forever. Actually, it lost the whole world. It will not be accepted anywhere anymore.
And the cruelty with which Russian troops are trying to conquer the Azov, Donbas, Kharkiv regions, only takes away even the slightest chance of these territories and these people to have any ties with this state at least sometime in the future.
Maybe somewhere in Russia cruelty is respected. But in Ukraine cruelty is despised. And punished. And it is obligatory.
Today I signed decrees on awarding our military. 237 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were awarded state awards, 34 of them posthumously.
The title of Hero of Ukraine was awarded to Colonel Kashchenko Dmytro Valeriyovych, commander of the 58th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Operational Command "North" of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For the personal example of heroism that inspires comrades in service, for extremely effective combat operations and concrete and very important results for maintaining the positions of our army and expelling the occupiers.
And finally. The important words that hope always wins even under seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
This Saturday, the Jewish community celebrates Passover. Holiday of liberation. Holiday of life. I sincerely wish all those who celebrate in Ukraine and in the world peace, good and the inevitable defeat of any evil that threatens freedom and life on earth.
Chag Pesach Sameach!
I am grateful to all our male defenders! I am grateful to all our female defenders!
Glory to Ukraine!
