Na Floresta de Cèdre Gouraud, na cordilheira do Médio Atlas, Marrocos, reside uma subpopulação significativa de macacos-de-gibraltar (Macaca sylvanus), primatas também conhecidos como macacos-berberes. Esta espécie, endémica do Norte de África e a única de macacos a viver naturalmente no continente africano fora das regiões subsarianas, encontra-se ameaçada de extinção. O nome da floresta deriva de um cedro-do-atlas centenário em homenagem ao general Gouraud, cujo tronco permanece como atração turística após a sua morte. Os macacos adaptaram-se à presença humana, interagindo frequentemente com os visitantes. Este ecossistema, dominado por cedros-do-atlas, é crucial para a conservação da biodiversidade, servindo como habitat vital para estes primatas. A sobrevivência dos macacos-de-gibraltar enfrenta desafios como a perda de habitat e a pressão humana, sendo fundamental a consciencialização para práticas responsáveis e respeito pelo ecossistema local.
The Cèdre Gouraud Forest, in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco, is home to a significant subpopulation of Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus), primates also known as Barbary apes. This species, endemic to North Africa and the only monkey that lives naturally on the African continent outside the sub-Saharan regions, is threatened with extinction. The forest's name derives from a century-old Atlas cedar named after General Gouraud, whose trunk continues to be a tourist attraction after his death. The monkeys have adapted to the presence of humans, frequently interacting with visitors. This ecosystem, dominated by Atlas cedars, is crucial for the conservation of biodiversity, serving as a vital habitat for these primates. The survival of Barbary macaques faces challenges such as habitat loss and human pressure, making it essential to raise awareness about responsible practices and respect for the local ecosystem.
A Black-bellied Whistling Duck keeping an eye on me in the Sweetwater Wetlands Park in Gainesville, Florida. In the United States they reside mostly in Florida, Louisiana and Texas. Large flocks of these sociable birds constantly make their presence known in the Sweetwater Wetlands.
This old abandoned house resides in an old gold town of Michigan Bluff in the Sierra Foothills. We have friends in town and I found the history of Michigan Bluff which, as so many other gold towns has gone through a lot to go from a thriving town of over 10,000 to a small hamlet of about 25 people.

His strength resides in his ability to lie convincingly to his followers., regardless of the consequences to others. Somehow he is believed by millions, even when he changes his statements from one moment to the next. He is a narcissistic huckster who is dangerous to American democracy and the world.

The Gilded Flicker resides mostly in the Sonoran Desert in the northwest of Mexico, up through southern Arizona and down the Baja peninsula where I found this bird and her mate.
The GF is smaller than the Northern Flicker and resides near cacti and palm trees.
Notice the cinnamon cap which is distinct from the Northern Flicker.
In a clandestine realm concealed behind the walls of human abodes, resided diminutive beings who referred to themselves as "Borrowlings." Their world was minuscule, their attire fashioned from fabric remnants, and their headwear comprised delicate mushroom caps. These Borrowlings harbored a peculiar vocation in life, one they deemed their life's calling: they borrowed tiny items from humans.
Within this world, there were three remarkable Borrowlings: Lumius, Flora, and Pippin. Lumius was aged and sagacious, Flora his affectionate spouse, and Pippin their inquisitive offspring. The passage of years did not mark the Borrowlings, for they attained the venerable age of 111, unless they happened to be mistaken for a mouse by an unwary cat. Their objective was to borrow diminutive treasures from the human realm, such as needles, threads, scissors, and screwdrivers. Yet, they were not without flaws.
The Borrowlings possessed an unfortunate proclivity: they tended to place the borrowed items in unusual locations. When humans sought these possessions, it spawned chaos and bewilderment.
One day, as Lumius, Flora, and Pippin had once more borrowed a minuscule ruler, they overheard the desperate dialogue of a solitary human gentleman whom they designated the "Seeker."
"Damnation, where is my ruler?" muttered the Seeker to himself. "I employed it last evening, and now it has vanished without a trace."
The Borrowlings realized that the time had come to make amends for their imperfections. They resolved to locate the ruler and return it, sparing the Seeker further vexation.
Upon finding the ruler at last, Lumius raised it aloft and declared, "Here is your ruler. We borrowed it and inadvertently misplaced it elsewhere."
The Seeker, taken aback by the sight of the diminutive Lumius, inquired, "Who are you?"
Flora responded, "We are the Borrowlings, and it is our duty to borrow items and subsequently return them. Regrettably, we sometimes deposit them in unconventional places."
The Seeker smiled and said, "You are indeed unique. I thank you for returning the ruler."
The Borrowlings handed over the ruler to the Seeker, who rejoiced at recovering the lost item. As the Borrowlings embarked on their journey back, one could overhear the Seeker engaging in introspective soliloquies, contemplating the significance of tolerance and forgiveness.
The tale of the Borrowlings and the Seeker transformed into a parable and allegory for the fallibility and distinctiveness of humanity. It imparted lessons on cherishing tolerance and forgiveness and recognizing that everyone possesses their own flaws. And so, the Borrowlings and humans continued to coexist harmoniously, with the Borrowlings inadvertently sowing chaos in the lives of humans, all while bearing smiles on their diminutive countenances.

Some of the best beaches on Earth I dare say reside in a stretch of land in the south-western part of England - Cornwall. I always loved rocky beaches and back home I would try and get to some beaches which had some small arrangement of rocks some where...but when I went to Cornwall, I couldn't believe my eyes that there were so many beautiful beaches one after another from Looe to all the way to Bude.
It was a pretty tough trip mainly because the weather was not too good but I braved through the weather and managed some decent outings. There are plenty of photo ops and Cornwall is one place one should visit if they are in the UK. We were jokingly saying its a poor man's Scotland as there were many beautiful beaches that can be rivaled only by the pristine Scottish beaches.
'Nuff Said! This was shot in a quiet little beach called the Mullion Cove near Lizard. I loved the turquoise waters and the rocks that were peppered along the coast. The light was a bit tricky and the exposure I was aiming was difficult to pull off at that time of the day but nonetheless gave it a shot. This is just one RAW image developed in Lightroom. Its been a while since I did multiple exposures..gone are those days I guess...For some reason, the EXIF is not giving the details I desire..anyway here it is..

The Black Hmong are the 3rd largest minority in Vietnam with nearly 900,000 people. In the Sapa region there are about 35,000 Black Hmong residing in the surrounding 17 villages and they account for about 50% of the area population. Most reside at an altitude of 1,600 – 1,700 meters above sea level in this stunningly beautiful region they call “the city above the clouds”. The Hmong started migrating to Vietnam from China in the last 300 years.
In this region about half the Hmong are Catholic and half animistic. They live of the land growing rice and corn and they all believe in the spirits.

"The Archbishop's Palace (formerly the Bishop's Palace) in Olomouc is the seat of the offices of the Olomouc Archbishopric; the Archbishop himself does not currently reside there. The palace is the largest residential building in the historic core of the city of Olomouc and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The Archbishop's Palace is the fourth residence of the Olomouc bishops and was originally built as a Renaissance palace by Bishop Stanislav Thurz. This Renaissance palace, completed by Bishop Dubravio and further modified by Bishop Pavlovský at the end of the 16th century, was devastated during the Thirty Years' War, especially during the Swedish occupation of Olomouc in 1642–1650.
Only Bishop Charles II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn, after a fire in 1661, began the Baroque renovation of the palace in 1664 after his accession to the episcopal see. The repairs were carried out according to the plans of the imperial architect Filiberto Lucchese (1606–1666) and, after his death, Giovanni Pietro Tencalla by the Olomouc master masons Petr Schüller and Melchior Thoneck. The author of the stucco decoration of the interiors is Baltazar Fontana, the original wall paintings, whose authors were Carpoforo Tencalla and Innocenzo Cristoforo Monti, have survived only in fragments. An ornamental garden was established on the fence. The reconstruction work was not completed until 1685. In 1836, the interior was expanded with the so-called Throne Room, the design of which was contributed by Antonín Arche.
The palace acquired its present form and decoration after the fire of 1904, when it was restored and partially rebuilt according to the design of Vladimír Fischer at the instigation of Cardinal Bauer in the years 1906–1910. After a thorough reconstruction, the palace was opened to the public as a sightseeing object in the spring of 2011.
The terraced complex consists of two longitudinal palaces, whose two-storey wings create two unequally sized enclosed courtyards. The facade of the longer building with the main entrance faces Biskupské náměstí, the adjacent building continues into the narrow Wurmova Street. The opposite fenced wing above the city walls is oriented towards the Bezručovy sady city park.
The long street facade has a richly architecturally structured front with 21 large windows facing the street and three portals. The roof is gabled, the central raised part is decorated with a turret. The main entrance is equipped with a stone balcony portico with the coat of arms of Bishop Liechtenstein and the year 1669. In the roof above it is a gable extension with a clock face. Similar signs with commemorative inscriptions are above the portals at the edges of the building.
The palace character of the building is underlined by the representative staircase and ceremonial halls. The original Baroque stucco decoration of the rooms has been preserved in the interior.
Olomouc (UK: /ˈɒləmoʊts/, US: /ˈoʊloʊ-/, Czech: [ˈolomouts]; German: Olmütz) is a city in the Czech Republic. It has about 102,000 inhabitants and its larger urban zone has a population of about 400,000 inhabitants (2024).
Located on the Morava River, the city is the ecclesiastical metropolis and was a historical co-capital city of Moravia, before having been occupied by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War. Today, it is the administrative centre of the Olomouc Region and the sixth largest city in the Czech Republic. The historic city centre is well preserved and is protected by law as urban monument reservation. The Holy Trinity Column was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 for its quintessential Baroque style and symbolic value.
Moravia (Czech: Morava [ˈmorava]; German: Mähren) is a historical region in the east of the Czech Republic and one of three historical Czech lands, with Bohemia and Czech Silesia.
The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown from 1348 to 1918, an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire from 1004 to 1806, a crown land of the Austrian Empire from 1804 to 1867, and a part of Austria-Hungary from 1867 to 1918. Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia founded in 1918. In 1928 it was merged with Czech Silesia, and then dissolved in 1948 during the abolition of the land system following the communist coup d'état.
Its area of 22,623.41 km2 is home to about 3.2 million of the Czech Republic's 10.8 million inhabitants. The people are historically named Moravians, a subgroup of Czechs, the other group being called Bohemians. The land takes its name from the Morava river, which runs from its north to south, being its principal watercourse. Moravia's largest city and historical capital is Brno. Before being sacked by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War, Olomouc served as the Moravian capital, and it is still the seat of the Archdiocese of Olomouc. Until the expulsions after 1945, significant parts of Moravia were German speaking." - info from Wikipedia.

Wat Phra Si Sanphet was situated on the premises of the royal palace which had been established in the reign of King Ramathibodi I (King U - Thong). In 1448 King Boroma - Tri-Loka-Nat dedicated the site of the palace to the construction of the temple. The important edifices in this temple are the three main stupas containing the ashes of King Boroma, King Boroma-Rachathirat and King Ramathibodi II.
It was a royal temple of the kingdom of Ayuthaya, used for such important royal ceremonies as swearing allegiance and it also served as the royal family's private chapel and the place where the royal family's ashes were preserved. No monks resided here though they were occasionally invited for particular rites.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet was the holiest temple on the site of the old Royal Palace in Thailand's ancient capital of Ayutthaya until the city was completely destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. It was the grandest and most beautiful temple in the capital and it served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. Wikipedia
Grand Teton National Park.
3/4 Cubs she has currently.
Grizzly 399 is a grizzly bear who resides on Federal land in a range of hundreds of miles throughout the Grand Teton National Park and the Bridger-Teton National Forest. She was born in a den in Pilgrim Creek, Wyoming, in the winter of 1996, and given her name as a research number by the Yellowstone Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team.
At age 24, she is older than is usual for a grizzly, as "more than 85 percent of them are killed because of some kind of human activity before they reach old age". She weighs almost 400 pounds (180 kg). When standing upright on her hind legs, she is 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m). Unlike the typical grizzly, she lives in close proximity to humans, although she is not particularly concerned with them; scientists have speculated that this was in response to a death of a cub in a more remote area, perhaps killed by a male grizzly.
The bird resides in mudflats and shallow coastal lagoons with salt water. Using its feet, the bird stirs up the mud, then sucks water through its bill and filters out small shrimp, seeds, blue-green algae, microscopic organisms, and mollusks. The greater flamingo feeds with its head down, and its upper jaw is movable and not rigidly fixed to its skull.[4]

Her writing desk was a gift from her beloved grandmother, who resides in Italy. Bronte pens a letter to her nonna almost every week. The framed silhouette above the desk is of Jane Austen, one of Bronte’s favorite authors.
The common person residing in Esterdame would deny the existence of the Black Terrors, and they would be justified in that. There have been so few sightings of these monsters in the last 700 years that they have passed mostly into myth and superstition. Parents use their name to invoke fear in children, Commanders curse the terrors should a battle not go their way. Those who still believe that they exist are convinced that they reside in the Sleeping Caverns at the North-East-most point of Esterdame and that they protect Threndaugar the Deceiver himself. They are said to be as fast as wind, as elusive as the shadows and near invincible should they fight after dusk. After the Sacking of the Storm Hold in 728AV, rumours began to spread that it was not the Orcs, but the Black Terrors who captured the castle.
The Shadow Knight, pictured in the centre, was first spotted in 738AV, a year after King Davian III recaptured his family home. The Knight is an old friend of the King's uncle Baron (and that's all I'll say about that)
Fireworks of stellar starbursts
Fireworks of stellar starbursts
Featured in this new image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope is the dwarf galaxy NGC 4449. This galaxy, also known as Caldwell 21, resides roughly 12.5 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is part of the M94 galaxy group, which lies close to the Local Group that hosts our Milky Way.
NGC 4449 has been forming stars for several billion years, but it is currently experiencing a period of star formation at a much higher rate than in the past. Such unusually explosive and intense star formation activity is called a starburst and for that reason NGC 4449 is known as a starburst galaxy. In fact, at the current rate of star formation, the gas supply that feeds the production of stars would only last for another billion years or so. Starbursts usually occur in the central regions of galaxies, but NGC 4449 displays more widespread star formation activity, and the very youngest stars are observed both in the nucleus and in streams surrounding the galaxy. It's likely that the current widespread starburst was triggered by interaction or merging with a smaller companion; indeed, astronomers think NGC 4449's star formation has been influenced by interactions with several of its neighbours.
NGC 4449 resembles primordial star-forming galaxies which grew by merging with and accreting smaller stellar systems. Since NGC 4449 is close enough to be observed in great detail, it is the ideal laboratory for astronomers to study what may have occurred during galaxy formation and evolution in the early Universe.
This new image makes use of data from two of Webb’s instruments: MIRI (Mid-InfraRed Instrument) and NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera). Observations in the infrared reveal the galaxy’s creeping tendrils of gas, dust and stars. The bright blue spots reveal countless individual stars, while the bright yellow regions that weave throughout the galaxy indicate concentrations of active stellar nurseries, where new stars are forming. The orange-red areas indicate the distribution of a type of carbon-based compounds known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (or PAHs) — the MIRI F770W filter is particularly suited to imaging these important molecules. The bright red spots correspond to regions rich in hydrogen that have been ionised by the radiation from the newly formed stars. The diffuse gradient of blue light around the central region shows the distribution of older stars. The compact light-blue regions within the red ionised gas, mostly concentrated in the galaxy’s outer region, show the distribution of young star clusters.
NGC 4449 was observed by Webb as part of a series of observations collectively titled Feedback in Emerging extrAgalactic Star clusTers, or FEAST (PI: A. Adamo). Two other targets of the FEAST programme, M51, and M83, were the subjects of previous ESA/Webb Picture of the Month images in 2023.
[Image Description: A close view of the central area of a dwarf galaxy. A huge number of stars fill the whole galaxy as tiny glowing points. They are brightest around the galaxy’s shining core. Thick clouds of gas and dust billow out across the scene, curling like moving flames. They glow in warm colours following their location: orange around the galaxy’s core, and around glowing star clusters in the bottom-left, and dark red elsewhere.]

The Eurasian eagle-owl is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is also called the European eagle-owl and in Europe, it is occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl. It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), males being slightly smaller. This bird has distinctive ear tufts, with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish colouring and tawny. The wings and tail are barred. The underparts are a variably hued buff, streaked with darker colour. The facial disc is poorly developed and the orange eyes are distinctive.
Besides being one of the largest living species of owl, it is also one of the most widely distributed. The Eurasian eagle-owl is found in many habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions, coniferous forests, steppes and other relatively remote places. It is a mostly nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species, predominantly small mammals but also birds of varying sizes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates. It typically breeds on cliff ledges, in gullies, among rocks or in other concealed locations. The nest is a scrape in which averages of two eggs are laid at intervals. These hatch at different times. The female incubates the eggs and broods the young, and the male provides food for her and when they hatch, for the nestlings as well. Continuing parental care for the young is provided by both adults for about five months. There are at least a dozen subspecies of Eurasian eagle-owl.

Every neighborhood that I have resided in since I was a kid had at least one house that was considered "haunted." Well, the neighborhood of my retirement doesn't have a haunted house. We have a "Hobbit House" as the kids refer to it.
It is overgrown with vines that eventually sprout with new leaves, and when Fall comes, leaves the house covered in brown vines lending an eerie feeling to the place especially at night.. So I was rather surprised one moonlit evening to see a splash of color by the Hobbit House and I went outside to investigate.
The contrast between the house and the bright colors of lawn furniture, umbrella and other yard pieces were quite a contrast to the house that hides behind darkned windows and vines.
And in the cave they resided, only peering out to watch the passerby. The twins were ridiculed for who they were, but that didn't discourage them from causing havoc on all the inhabitants surrounding them.

This bird has distinctive ear tufts, with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish coloring and tawny. The wings and tail are barred. The underparts are a variably hued buff, streaked with darker color. The facial disc is poorly developed and the orange eyes are distinctive.
Besides being one of the largest living species of owl, it is also one of the most widely distributed. The Eurasian eagle-owl is found in many habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions, coniferous forests, steppes and other relatively remote places. It is a mostly nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species, predominantly small mammals but also birds of varying sizes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates. It typically breeds on cliff ledges, in gullies, among rocks or in other concealed locations. The nest is a scrape in which averages of two eggs are laid at intervals. These hatch at different times. The female incubates the eggs and broods the young, and the male provides food for her and when they hatch, for the nestlings as well. Continuing parental care for the young is provided by both adults for about five months.
Eagle-owls are distributed somewhat sparsely but can potentially inhabit a wide range of habitats, with a partiality for irregular topography. They have been found in habitats as diverse as northern coniferous forests to the edge of vast deserts. Essentially, Eurasian eagle-owls have been found living in almost every climatic and environmental condition on the Eurasian continent, excluding the greatest extremities, i.e. they are absent from humid rainforest in Southeast Asia, as well as the high Arctic tundra, both of which they are more or less replaced by other variety of Bubo owls. They are often found in the largest numbers in areas where cliffs and ravines are surrounded by a scattering of trees and bushes. Grassland areas such as alpine meadows or desert-like steppe can also host them so long as they have the cover and protection of rocky areas. The preference of eagle-owls for places with irregular topography has been reported in most known studies. The obvious benefit of such nesting locations is that both nests and daytime roosts located in rocky areas and/or steep slopes would be less accessible to predators, including man. Also, they may be attracted to the vicinity of riparian or wetlands areas, due to the fact that the soft soil of wet areas is conducive to burrowing by the small, terrestrial mammals normally preferred in the diet, such as voles and rabbits.[59] Due to their preference for rocky areas, the species is often found in mountainous areas and can be found up to elevations of 2,100 m (6,900 ft) in the Alps and 4,500 m (14,800 ft) in the Himalayas and 4,700 m (15,400 ft) in the adjacent Tibetan Plateau.

From SpaceTelescope.org, “NGC 7006 resides in the outskirts of the Milky Way. It is about 135,000 light-years away, five times the distance between the Sun and the center of the galaxy, and it is part of the galactic halo. This roughly spherical region of the Milky Way is made up of dark matter, gas and sparsely distributed stellar clusters.”

This particular bird resides at the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre in Coaldale, southern Alberta, a wonderful place that rehabilitates and releases (whenever possible) various birds of prey - hawks, owls, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, and Golden Eagles. Some of these birds act as Wildlife Ambassadors, too, educating the public. In actual fact, we don't have Barn Owls in the wild in Alberta.
"Barn Owls have a notable shreee scream, ear-shattering at close range. They also hiss like snakes. When captured or cornered, they throw themselves on their backs and flail with sharp-taloned feet, an effective defence." The Barn Owl flies silently. Its ears are placed asymmetrically for maximum hearing, so the owls do not require sight to hunt. They can target and dive down to sink their talons through snow, grass or brush and seize rodents with deadly accuracy. Compared to other owls of similar size, the Barn Owl has a much higher metabolic rate, requiring relatively more food. Pound for pound, they consume more rodent pests than possibly any other creature. This makes the Barn Owl one of the most economically valuable wildlife animals to farmers (not in Alberta). Farmers often encourage Barn Owls to stay around by providing nest sites. They are fairly sedentary and nocturnal" From Wikipedia.

It had been a few years since my last visit to the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre - I've only been maybe three or four times - and I had been longing to go back. Much too far and all new driving territory for me to even think about driving there myself. However, six days ago, on 9 September 2016, that is exactly what I did. A friend had said she would come along, too, but she emailed me at 1:00 am that morning to say that she assumed our trip had been cancelled, as she hadn't heard back about the time to meet. In fact, I had sent two emails giving the time, so I don't know what happened there. Very unfortunate, as it would have been great to have had company on such a long drive, and I know she would have had fun with her camera.
I knew it would be a long day and further than I would normally drive - and in a brand new car that I have yet to learn to drive! It doesn't look or feel quite as new now, after travelling 481 km, plus a long trip the next day! Only got lost twice, one minor and the other major. Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere way down south and I ended up in the city of Lethbridge, that I had very carefully planned to avoid. After driving for three and three-quarter hours, I finally arrived at my destination, to my huge relief.
Despite getting there later than I had hoped, I still had more than enough time to wander round the grounds and photograph the various raptors. Some were tethered out in a grassy area and others were in outdoor cages. Wonderful to get such a close look at the various majestic birds.
I took a slightly different way home via #845 (?), making absolutely sure that I didn't accidentally find myself in Lethbridge again and it wasn't too long before I found myself in the area that I had driven a few weeks ago, when I went SW of Vulcan to look for Common Nighthawks (without any luck).
Just so happy that I finally made myself do this drive. When I Googled the Centre's website, I had discovered that they were closing two days later for the winter. So, it was either a case of going the next day or not at all till next May onwards.
The day after this adventure, 10 September 2016, I took my daughter on a long drive in Kananaskis. This was yet another place that I had longed to be able to drive for many years - and finally I did it! I had been lots of times with various friends, but this was the very first time I had ever driven myself. We had planned to do this a few weeks earlier, but then my car had major repairs that needed to be done. Instead, I knew I just couldn't put any more money into my 17-year-old car, and I ended up replacing it. So glad we went to the mountains on this particular day, as it snowed there the following day.

Boldt Castle resides on Heart Island in the Thousand Islands in the State of NY.
The castle is an endearing monument to a tragic love story and is part of the history of Alexandria Bay area and NY State as well as a symbol of bygone days. It was being built by an adoring husband for his wife, but she died before it was completed and it it fell to ruins never to be completed. The heart shape of the island and the associated with the love story figures prominently in the decorations and construction elements of the island residence. The castle is now part of the NY Parks system and is being restored to the way it was before her death.

Residing below an overpass leading to Point Park, this unassuming art piece is surrounded by water and set in stones providing an artistic design at the base.
Closer examination revealed this piece's use as wishing well filled with coins.
Now residing at Peak Rail in shiny green livery, Penyghent is at Bamford for a photo stop on the DEG and DAA "Peak Express". It isn't too far from Bamford to where this loco now has its home. Perhaps in the usual BR concern for the possibility of souvenir hunters being active, the nameplate on this side of the loco at least has been removed.
The likelihood of someone being able to remove a plate and quietly escape with the booty without someone noticing is a little unlikely although you never know.
These stygobitic salamanders reside in the Floridan Aquifer System of southwestern Georgia and extreme northwest Florida. They may sometimes be found outside of the aquifer in areas where karst windows have formed. These "windows" are a view into the aquifer, usually within a cave system, and in times of high water will flood and pool within. The salamanders make their way into these pools to forage for food.

In the land of lore, where legends reside,
There flows a river with a mystical tide,
Its name is Minnehaha, a whispered refrain,
Where enchantment weaves its watery domain.
Beneath a canopy of emerald green,
The waters shimmer with a magical sheen,
They cascade and tumble, a mesmerizing sight,
With a melodic rush, like a symphony taking flight.
Minnehaha, the spirit of nature's embrace,
Unveils her secrets in this sacred space,
Her currents, a dance of serenity and grace,
Where time stands still, in this hallowed place.
Legends abound, carried by the gentle breeze,
Whispered tales of love, beneath the ancient trees,
It's said that lovers met, their destinies entwined,
By Minnehaha's waters, in a moment so kind.
The air is alive with ethereal whispers,
As the waterfall's mist adorns the leafy vespers,
A symphony of birds, their songs a sweet serenade,
In this enchanted realm, where dreams are made.
The waters of Minnehaha hold a mystical power,
A balm for the soul in each passing hour,
They cleanse the spirit, heal wounds unseen,
And fill the heart with a tranquility serene.
As sunlight dances upon the glistening stream,
Rainbows paint the sky, a vibrant dream,
Nature's palette, a kaleidoscope so grand,
Reflected in Minnehaha's waters, a wonderland.
Oh, mystical Minnehaha, your magic bewitches,
In your gentle flow, nature's melody switches,
We're captivated by your watery embrace,
And forever enchanted by your mystical grace.
So let us wander to Minnehaha's shore,
Where dreams take flight and hearts restore,
In this realm of wonder, where spirits intertwine,
The mystical waters of Minnehaha, forever divine.
With over 10 million mallards residing in North America alone, the Mallards are one of the best-known and most recognizable ducks. the mallard is a dabbling duck found throughout the temperate and sub-tropical areas around the world. The most abundant and wide-ranging duck on earth. The mallard usually inhabits the freshwaters of North America, Europe, Asia, New Zealand and Australia. Mallards usually feed on plants, such as grass seeds, leaves, stems and aquatic plants, and vegetation like grains, rice, oats and corn. However, they are also seen feeding on insects, mollusks, small fish, tadpoles, freshwater snails, fish eggs, frogs and crustaceans. This mating pair of Mallards was photographed at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.
