The Rhododendron leafhopper was introduced into Europe from North America (where it is known as the 'Scarlet and Green Leafhopper') in the 1900s.
It is one of the few insects that feed on Rhododendrons. They carry and are responsible for spreading a fungal disease which may stop them from flowering.

Sometimes I wonder about the rhythm of nature. When I see this Autumn coloured forest, there appears to be multiple patterns to capture. I can even conjure up the notion that as a photographer I am somehow responsible for the result.
However, it is more often finding order in the chaos. Next year around this time, I expect the same trees will colour up in a similar fashion and the rhythm of nature will continue on its never ending path.
Like so many millions of people around the world, I am completely shaken by the war in Ukraine.
This is my SL depiction based on a RL image I saw online of a decimated cemetery in Ukraine several days ago. The heart stopping image haunted me...and I was profoundly moved.
What is happening in Ukraine is simply horrendous. I am appalled that we are 22 years into this NEW CENTURY, NEW MILLENIUM and horrific and vile war crimes such as those committed during WWII are actually occurring! It seems history only repeats itself.
PLEASE, AS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY, LET US PRAY FOR PEACE FOR UKRAINE!!! AND PRAY THAT THE TERRIBLE PERPETRATOR (S) ARE CAUGHT, HELD RESPONSIBLE, TRIED AND PUNISHED FOR THEIR CRIMES IN THE SOVEREIGN NATION OF UKRAINE!!! LET JUSTICE PREVAIL!!!!
The link below is for a song by Clan of Xymox's. It was written for this war in Ukraine and the video is amazing and heart wrenching.
Who ever was responsible for this work of art deserves a medal or a pay rise!

It is time to stop and think and reflect upon the God-given beautiful nature we have been given. It is imperative that we are true guardians of our surroundings. We must not let money and greed destroy natural beauty, it is beyond time to be responsible citizens!

ꒌ МАНАСТИР ПОДМАЛИНСКО Српске православне цркве налази се на омањој заравни над обалом дивље планинске реке Буковице, у њеној клисури над Шавником, а под Боаном. Сестринство манастира се ове године увећало за важног члана. Питање за вас: које дрво најчешће расте око реке Буковице?
► █░▓ THE SPECTACULAR SCENERY of Bukowica gorge unfolding before the eyes of a keen visitor to remote Podmalinsko Monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The heating is a major concern in these bare conditions, so the wood provision has to be ready in October already. This commodity suddenly gained in importance this year, but the forest management has been responsible and a strong case in Montenegro's sustainability.
Middle Ages are alive and kicking within the walls of the ancient church where I witnessed some of the most moving and profound services in my life.
The sisterhood has been growing slowly but steadily since 2008.

This shot is a little soft but it was the first time I have seen one of these butterfly’s. It’s a Scarce Swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius podalirius ) and I think rather beautiful. I photographed it on our terrace in France. There was a buddleia in the garden that attracted a lot of butterflies but during the whole week there we only saw this species on one occasion. So its common name seemed rather appropriate.
When we returned to England I read some information about them it seems despite the common name ("scarce"), this species is quite common. The scarcity of UK migrants is responsible for the English common name. This species is widespread in most of Southern Europe
NB there is a question about the ID will need to check it out further later today
remains of the popular crab apple that was home to many squirrel generations and resting place for birds of all kinds from chickadees to yellow bellied sapsuckers.
It is time to look after our planet before it is too late please use your brain and your heart. Many in Australia are suffering also in Siberia, Amazon, and California, we must act now and be responsible!! These fires are killing people, animals and land it is a dire situation, we cannot just sit and do nothing!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
From this shot you can appreciate just how low to the ground this Maserati Tipo 151/3 is. Car is also noted as a 151/4 if the information on the internet is correct, based on the wheelbase and track being lengthened/widened and the car running larger wheels.
The Tipo 151/3 was penned by designer Piero Drogo and features a similarities to the Ferrari 250 GT SWB ’Breadvan’ that he was also responsible for. This example of was built from the remains of two destroyed examples that suffered accidents in 1964 and 1965 (the second was a fatal accident at the Le Mans test day, where Lloyd ‘Lucky’ Casner came off track and rolled the car in the wet).

I'm not responsible for my photographs. Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience. It's drowning yourself, dissolving yourself, and then sniff, sniff, sniff – being sensitive to coincidence. You can't go looking for it; you can't want it, or you want get it. First you must lose your self. Then it happens.

Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg. He was an officer of the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War and one of the central figures of the military resistance against National Socialism in Germany.
He was mainly responsible for the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944. The attack failed. Stauffenberg was executed on 21.07 1944 in Berlin.
So as not to forget what the NAZI Regime was about. What they attempted to accomplish was courageous!
Another common scene in Holland: dykes
Flood control is an important issue for the Netherlands, as about two thirds of its area is vulnerable to flooding, while the country is among the most densely populated on Earth. Natural sand dunes and human-made dikes, dams and floodgatesprovide defense storm surges from the sea. River dikes prevent flooding from water flowing into the country by the major rivers Rhine and Meuse, while a complicated system of drainage ditches, canals and pumping stations (historically:windmills) keep the low-lying parts dry for habitation and agriculture. Water control boards are the independent local government bodies responsible for maintaining this system.
In modern times, flood disasters coupled with technological developments have led to large construction works to reduce the influence of the sea and prevent future floods.

Ciri has activated her intense focus mode. She is stalking something invisible on the floor... perhaps planning her next attack.
Meanwhile, the evidence of her previous "battles" is hanging conveniently from the sofa just beside her. We all know who is responsible for those loose threads.

Hiking up the Quiraing, a fantastic geological formation on the Isle of Skye north of the slightly overrun Old Man of Storr, I heard a strange bird call that I couldn't quite figure out. Even the usual AI apps (BirdNet and Merlin) had their troubles and the only suggestion I got out of them was Eurasian Tree Creeper, which is an interesting suggestion in a landscape where the tallest woody plants are the many heather bushes. So I ended up spending quite a bit of time figuring out what I was hearing and to my big surprise found a young cuckoo being responsible for the high-pitched begging calls, demanding more food from its meadow pipit parents. They tried their bests, to feed the young bird, which was already able to fly... but they were not granted the least bit of gratitude - the cuckoo often gave them a peck after they fed him.
You can hear the surprising begging call of a young cuckoo in this xeno-canto recording, made by local birder David Kuster near my home town here: xeno-canto.org/814505
These gulls appear to have been wearing masks and practicing social distancing over a year ago. What did they know? 😉
Le manhoun ou théâtre des échasses
Abomey, Bénin.
Sans être lié au Vaudou, même si certains éléments présents durant le spectacle s’y réfèrent manifestement, le manhoun ou théâtre des échasses, fait partie de la culture et de la tradition du Bénin. On retrouve cependant des manifestations semblables au Togo et en Côte d’Ivoire sous d’autres appellations.
Moment de rassemblement, lieu de refondation du lien social, la danse des échasses est l’une des pratiques culturelles qui rassemble le plus de monde dans le centre du Bénin.
La prestation des danseurs est accompagnée de musiques rythmées par des tam-tams
Sans doute issu des pratiques culturelles antérieures en particulier du peuple Yoruba, le manhoun existerait depuis deux siècles
Dans sa forme ancienne le déroulement de la manifestation est complexe et très codifié, avec le respect d’une gradation de la qualité des artistes dans l’ordre d’apparition
Cette forme ancienne comporte plusieurs séquences dont la phase finale est cette danse acrobatique endiablée sur échasses. Les danseurs qui portent tous un masque évoquant parfois les masques vénitiens, se lancent des défis sur la dangerosité de leurs acrobaties
Des personnages au rôle fixé par la tradition, montés ou non sur des échasses peuvent intervenir dans le déroulement du spectacle, se mêlant parfois aux spectateurs..
Le chef des danseurs, le plus expérimenté d'entre eux, n’intervient qu’en dernière position. Chaque chef des échassiers essaye d’apporter quelque chose d’exceptionnel dans sa prestation dans une quête permanente de perfection.
Le chef est également chargé d’assurer le rituel de la prise des enfants, phase importante de son intervention, qui consiste à faire monter certains d’entre eux qu’il choisit pour leur agilité, âgés entre 7 et 13 ans, auprès de lui le long de ses échasses
Du spectacle auquel nous avons pu assister en compagnie d’une foule dense et enthousiaste, nous avons surtout apprécié la virtuosité des acrobates mais sans doute le sens de certaines phases nous a t-il échappé en grande partie.

Manhoun, or Stilt Theatre
Abomey, Benin.
While not directly linked to Voodoo, even though certain elements present during the performance clearly allude to it, manhoun, or stilt theatre, is part of Benin's culture and tradition. Similar performances can be found in Togo and Ivory Coast under different names.
A time for gathering, a place for re-establishing social bonds, stilt dancing is one of the cultural practices that brings people together in central Benin.
The dancers' performance is accompanied by rhythmic music played on drums.
Likely originating from earlier cultural practices, particularly those of the Yoruba people, the manhoun has existed for two centuries.
In its traditional form, the performance unfolds in a complex and highly codified manner, respecting a hierarchy of skill among the performers in the order of their appearance.
This traditional form comprises several sequences, the final phase of which is this frenetic acrobatic dance on stilts. The dancers, all wearing masks sometimes reminiscent of Venetian masks, challenge each other with acrobatic feats of daring.
Characters with roles defined by tradition, whether on stilts or not, may appear during the performance, sometimes mingling with the audience. The leader of the dancers, the most experienced among them, only performs last. Each leader of the stilt walkers strives to bring something exceptional to their performance in a constant quest for perfection.
The leader is also responsible for the ritual of "taking the children," an important part of their performance, which involves bringing a few children, chosen for their agility and aged between 7 and 13, up to him on his stilts. Of the show we were able to attend with a large and enthusiastic crowd, we particularly appreciated the virtuosity of the acrobats, but we undoubtedly missed the meaning of some of the elements.
Never let me go
Love me much too much
If you let me go
Life would lose it's touch
What would I be without you?
There's no place for me without you
Never let me go
I'd be so lost if you went away
There'd be a thousand hours in a day without you
I know
Because of one caress my world was overturned
at the very start
All my bridges burned by my flming heart
You'd never leave me would you?
You couldn't hurt me could you?
Never let me go
Never let me go
Anselm classically defined theology as fides quaerens intellectum—“ faith seeking understanding.” Not faith that already understands and so no longer needs to seek. That would by definition no longer be theology. Theology is not itself the faith but its quest. If we stop seeking, we are no longer on the way. Faith seeking understanding has then turned into “belief that understands.” It then closes down the very root of quaerens, from which come both question and quest. Speaking the divine wisdom in a mystery, theology remains a work of human speech. Theology is not the same as faith or belief, but a disciplined and relational reflection upon them. God calls, but we are responsible for what we call “God.” And God may be calling us to that very responsibility!
-On the Mystery, DISCERNING DIVINITY IN PROCESS, Catherine Keller
According to legend, Bishop Hatto II, Archbishop of Mainz was a cruel and selfish ruler, responsible both for the collection of tolls along the Rhine as well as the distribution of food. When famine struck Germany, the townspeople found themselves starving, and they plead with the Archbishop to give them more food from the storehouse. In response, he invited them all to come into the storehouse, and take all the food they could carry. But once the townsfolk were inside the storehouse, he barricaded the doors, and set the place ablaze, remarking to his conspirators that their screams of anguish were comparable to the squeals of rats.
That evening the Archbishop returned to his mansion to feast in peace and celebrate his solution to the famine. When he woke the next morning, he found that his portrait had been eaten out of its frame by rats. Then news came that a swarm of rats had descended on local farmland and then the storehouse and eaten everything in sight. As he looked out from his window, he saw the army of rats headed straight for him, and he fled to his island tower, where he barricaded himself in for the night. He awoke to the sounds of his cat:
“He listen’d and look’d—it was only the cat; But the Bishop he grew more fearful for that, For she sat screaming, mad with fear, At the army of rats that were drawing near.”
The rats had taken to the water, swimming to his island tower. In the end, the cruel man is devoured by rats, in a sort of (sadly, totally apocryphal) poetic justice.

I take advantage with this last photo of my Iceland trip in 2015 to appeal to responsibility with oneself, with our family, with our friends and with the rest of humanity.
With the confinement of a couple of weeks we can stop the exponential contagion of this invisible enemy: coronavirus.
We have to act with co-responsible form in the face of a totally extraordinary situation that may reach our health system.
Patience, tranquility and a lot of calm. Let those who know organize this unusual war.

Aprovecho esta última foto del viaje de Islandia en 2015 para hacer un llamamiento a la responsabilidad con uno mismo, con nuestra familia, con nuestros amigos y con el resto de la humanidad.
Con el confinamiento de un par de semanas podemos frenar el contagio exponencial de este enemigo invisible: coronavirus.
Actuemos de forma corresponsable ante una situación del todo extraordinaria que puede llegar a colapsar nuestro sistema sanitario.
Paciencia, tranquilidad y mucha calma. Dejemos a los que saben que organicen esta guerra inusual.

Both fire and rain have hit the Santa Monica Mountains. Both may be responsible for a tremendous number of flower species that have been blooming this spring, many I've never seen before. This is one of those species.
When Kaiser Wilhelm I (1797-1888, King of Prussia 1861-1888 and German Emperor 1871-1888) died, numerous cities built monuments to his fame. He represents the Prussian-German nationalism and militarism, which lead to wars.
Let us honor the victims of World War I and World War II.

ꒌ МИНУТ ОДМАХ ПОСЛЕ ИЗЛАСКА СУНЦА, првог ове зиме (после зимске краткодневице претходног дана). По једној ствари, ни мало се не разликује од неког у сред лета, или било ког другог годишњег доба: огроман број птица појављује се изненада ”ниоткуда”, и у периоду краћем од пола сата налази високо у лету. Ову појаву нисам ни примећивао раније, све док нисам набавио овај јаки телеобјектив и почео да устајем раније. Приметио сам да се птице 15 минута пред излазак сунца и 15 минута после, али најизразитије баш за време самог изласка, крећу у свим правцима. То ме наводи на мисао да птице поздрављају и прослављају Бога на овај начин, радујући се сунцу и светлости. Другим речима, ово је њихова јутарња молитва. Чине је у групама. На овој слици, спирално увијен траг авионских турбина водоравно пресеца можда највеће јато које сам у тој улози до сада видео. Можда су у питању канадске дивље гуске али заиста је немогуће одредити. Треба само повећати слику колико је могуће.
► █░▓ А MINUTE after the full sunrise, a huge elongated flock of larger bird species is intersecting the spiral contrail of a commercial flight miles away. This track looks almost like a slow lightning hitting the tip of the rod at the roof of nearby Johannes Kerk. Interestingly, this protestant denomination not only omits the Cross at the top of its tower, but also leaves out the adjective "saint" before the John's name. Saint John is otherwise also known as The Forerunner, The Prophet, and The Baptist. But, this could also be Saint John the Theologian? This way, we don't know.
Seemingly 'next' left to this church tower, at a distance of 2 km (twice as far!) from the lens lies the windmill Nooit Volmaakt, (i.e. 'Never Completed'). The focal length is responsible for the considerable perspective flattening which defies perception. You would think that the distance between them is 100-200 metres.
While photographing this, I was aware that I have to choose – focus either on the church tower, or on the contrail. Alas, I chose the former. Only later, enlarged 200% over the computer screen did I see the elongated row of our avian friends. The next snapshot I did over half a minute, this time focussing on the contrail. Too late. The feathered procession was gone!
