Zinnien stammen ursprünglich aus Mexiko, wo sie schon vor der Ankunft der Spanier von den Azteken kultiviert wurden. Heute gehören ihre leuchtenden Blüten zu jedem Sommerblumenbeet. Eine Augenweide im Garten und als Strauß! Ihrer Heimat entsprechend, zeichnen sie sich durch eine hohe Hitze- und Trockenheitsverträglichkeit aus und dienen oftmals Schmetterlingen als willkommene Nektarpflanze. Außerdem können Zinnien zur Abwehr von Nematoden, auch Fadenwürmer genannt, zwischen Tomaten gepflanzt werden.
Ich hatte im Frühjahr 10 Pflanzen auf dem Wochenmarkt gekauft. Nun blühen sie der Reihe nach auf und siehe da: weiß, gelb, rosa, pink, korallenrot... mein Blumenbeet leuchtet in allen Farben!

Scrap metal: robust and sustainable.
a large, robust warbler commonly found in dense reed beds along freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers, marshes, and canals. It favors tall stands of common reed (Phragmites australis) for nesting and foraging, often choosing territories with a mix of open water and dense vegetation. These reed beds offer both concealment from predators and abundant insect prey, which the bird relies on during the breeding season. The species is highly territorial, with males singing loudly from exposed reed stems to defend their nesting sites and attract mates.
In terms of distribution, the great reed warbler breeds across a wide range of Europe and western Asia, extending from southern Scandinavia and central Europe through eastern Europe into parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. Its breeding range corresponds closely to the availability of large wetland habitats. Unlike many other reed-dwelling warblers, the great reed warbler is a long-distance migrant, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in tropical and southern regions. Migration takes place in two main phases: birds leave European breeding grounds in late summer or early autumn and return in spring. These migrations are extensive, and individuals often travel thousands of kilometers between breeding and wintering sites, demonstrating strong site fidelity and a reliance on intact stopover habitats along their migratory routes.
Excerpt from akimbo.ca/listings/call-for-submissions-the-elora-sculptu...:
The Elora Sculpture Project is a juried, seasonal outdoor exhibition which will take place from May 15 to October 15, 2025 will be the 15th edition. Twenty sculptures will be installed throughout the downtown cores of Elora and Fergus, available for easy viewing and possible purchase.

Truly robust, hearty and heavily built, this cap fully 10" (25cm) across, while the girth of it's stem as thick as my forearm. Attached ring, perhaps double, showing how and where the cap was coupled to the stem, in early stages.
A magnificent autumn dweller of the spruce woods, I have no idea of it's identification, other than to guess it is in the Russula family, a family of... thousands.
My best guess is Catathelasma ventricosa.... or Catathelasma imperialis, 'king of mushrooms'. A grand moniker for this hefty beauty.

O interior da Sé Catedral de Lamego apresenta uma notável riqueza artística e arquitetónica, refletindo várias épocas e estilos. A catedral é composta por três naves divididas em três tramos, cobertas por abóbadas de aresta que assentam em arcos de volta perfeita e robustos pilares. Um dos elementos mais impressionantes são os tetos, pintados na primeira metade do século XVIII pelo célebre pintor-arquiteto italiano Nicolau Nasoni. Estas pinturas exibem composições barrocas triunfantes em perspetiva, combinando temas arquitetónicos com episódios bíblicos.
The Desert Channels Region is a largely unmodified environment with robust pastoral, mining, and tourism industries. Home to 14, 500 people the region covers 510 000 square kilometres, (about one-third of the state of Queensland) and incorporates the Queensland section of the Lake Eyre Basin. This region is valued for its unique and healthy inland river systems, landscapes, cultural heritage, sustainable communities and production.
The Thomson River forms part of the Lake Eyre Basin. The river was named by the explorer, Edmund Kennedy, in the 1840s. The northernmost headwaters of the river begin at Torrens Creek, inland from Charters Towers. The watercourse becomes the Thomson just north of the town of Muttaburra, where the channels of Landsborough Creek, Towerhill Creek, and Cornish Creek meet. The river continues in the southwesterly direction, passing the towns of Longreach, Stonehenge, and Jundah, before joining with the Barcoo River north of Windorah to form Cooper Creek. This is the only place in the world where the confluence of two rivers forms a creek. As with all the rivers in the Lake Eyre Basin, the waters from the Thomson never reach the sea, and instead either evaporate or, in exceptional flooding, empty into Lake Eyre. Floods are not uncommon along the river, and, due to the flat nature of the country traversed, the river can then become many kilometres wide. The area which the river flows is semi-arid blacksoil plains.
Declared pest plants and animals have an enormous impact on the Longreach Region. Competition between these invasive pest plants and native Flora has seen the destruction of habitat. The loss of feed and breeding areas has seen rapid declines in some animal species. Longreach Regional Council is committed to the eradication of pest plants and animal species and has formulated a comprehensive Pest Management Plan.

...de lo córvidos, el jefe de todos ellos es, desde luego, el de siempre conocido como cuervo carnicero (Corvus corax), y ahora como cuervo grande porque algunos gurús de las aves en España se empeñan en cambiar sus nombres sin necesidad, ni explicaciones, y sin que nadie se lo haya pedido. Siguiendo con esta familia (Corvidae) incluida en el orden de los Passeriformes, vemos ahora al shérif del lugar, al más grande de todos ellos. Allí donde ellos se enseñorean, los demás abren paso. El cuervo es el más grande de los córvidos -y obviamente de los paseriformes- y verlo de cerca nos hace darnos cuenta de su corpulencia y robustez. Parece un tanque, con un pico realmente fuerte y unas patas muy robustas con fuertes uñas. No serán fáciles de fotografiar sus detalles cuando el sol los viste de brillos, pero se volverán espectaculares en el momento en el que la luz suave de un cielo nublado envuelva su plumaje. Es entonces cuando nos damos cuenta de su verdadera belleza. Si además eriza las plumas de la cabeza, del cuello y de la garganta entonces se vuelven simplemente increíbles, muy especialmente cuando parlotean entre ellos con gorjeos cortos y bajos, como si realmente estuvieran hablando. A mí me tienen subyugado, con esas irisaciones magentosas y los detalles de sus plumas. Fijaros en la curvatura del pico, impresionante. Y en la longitud de las primarias y secundarias, como nos hacía ver el compañero Pedro en una de las fotos de las chovas.
Fotografía tomada en alguna de las sesiones del quebrantahuesos, en Torla, y ligeramente recortada para mejorar el encuadre. No me canso de mirarlos, ¡qué pasada de animal!

Butorides striata
Garcilla azulada
Medio Queso, Los Chiles
Tamaño y Forma
Ave robusta de 35 a 48 cm de longitus corporal y un peso que oscila entre 135 y 250 g. Ambos sexos similares. Su cuerpo es predominantemente azul grisáceo con la coronilla negra y los lados de la cabeza, cuello y pecho de color gris. Tiene una raya blanca que va desde la garganta y se hace más ancha en el pecho, la espalda es gris verdoso y la cola y alas verde oscuro. El borde de las plumas de las alas es blanco y el abdomen y los flancos gris pizarra. Presenta pico negro con mandíbula amarillenta, patas amarillo opaco y una pequeña banda amarilla delante de cada ojo. Los juveniles son parduscos, fuertemente estriados de blanco en el cuello y con punteado de color crema en la parte alta de las alas.
Especies Similares
Es muy similar a la Garcita Verde (Butorides virescens) pero esta presenta los lados de la cabeza, el cuello y el pechos de color castaño no gris como en la Garza Rayada.
Distribución
En América se distribuye desde Estados Unidos y Canadá hasta el norte de Chile y Argentina pasando por centroamérica y las islas de Caribe. También se encuentra en gran parte del continente africano, islas del Pacífico y Australia.
Habitat
Es un ave que se encuentra en cuerpos de agua dulce y salada generalmente en vegetación densa a lo largo de rios, lagos, manglares y estuarios. Algunas veces en áreas más abiertas como, marismas, arrecifes de coral expuestos, arrozales, pastizales y pantanos.
Alimentación
Se alimenta principalmente de peces, anfibios, insectos, arañas, lombrices, cangrejos, moluscos, reptiles y en ocasiones de ratones.
Reproducción
La época del año en que se reproduce es muy variable pero en el trópico puede estar relacionado con los periodos de lluvia. En Colombia se han encontrado evidencias de eventos reproductivo en los mese de marzo y agosto y en Venezuela entre julio y octubre. Generalmente se reproducen solos pero a veces en grupos. Anida en lugares ocultos entre las ramas de árboles o arbustos entre a 1 y 10 m sobre el nivel del suelo o el agua. Generalmente pone de 2 a 5 huevos de color verde pálido los cuales incuba por un periodo de tiempo de 19 a 25 días. Las crías abandonan el nido aproximadamente a las cinco semanas.
Comportamiento
Es una garza que pasa inadvertida ya que casi siempre está posada a baja altura y muy quieta a la espera de una presa. Es más bien solitaria aunque en algunos casos se le puede ver en parejas. Cuando se alarma sacude la cola y extiende su cresta y al escapar emite un graznido muy característico. Acostumbra a recoger el cuello sobre el cuerpo dando la impresión de que su cabeza estuviera incrustada en los hombros.
Robust, agile, and adaptable, the Vespula drone is ideal for all your security, protection and combat requirements.
This tall, robust, leafless aquatic plant can grow 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 ft) high. It forms a grass-like clump of triangular green stems that rise up from thick, woody rhizomes. Each stem is topped by a dense cluster of thin, bright green, thread-like stems around 10 to 30 cm (4 to 10 in) in length, resembling a feather duster when the plant is young. Greenish-brown flower clusters eventually appear at the ends of the rays, giving way to brown, nut-like fruits.
The younger parts of the rhizome are covered by red-brown, papery, triangular scales, which also cover the base of the culms. Botanically, these represent reduced leaves, so strictly it is not quite correct to call this plant fully "leafless".
Egyptians used the plant (which they called aaru) for many purposes, most famously for making papyrus. Its name in Greek and in English is widely believed to have come from Egyptian. Cyperus papyrus is now used mainly for decoration, as it is nearly extinct in its native habitat in the Nile Delta, where in ancient times it was widely cultivated.
Theophrastus's History of Plants (Book iv. 10) states that it grew in Syria, and according to Pliny's Natural History, it was also a native plant of the Niger River and the Euphrates.
Aside from papyrus, several other members of the genus Cyperus may also have been involved in the multiple uses Egyptians found for the plant. Its flowering heads were linked to make garlands for the gods in gratitude. The pith of young shoots was eaten both cooked and raw. Its woody root made bowls and other utensils and was burned for fuel. From the stems were made reed boats (seen in bas-reliefs of the Fourth Dynasty showing men cutting papyrus to build a boat; similar boats are still made in southern Sudan), sails, mats, cloth, cordage, and sandals. Theophrastus states that King Antigonus made the rigging of his fleet of papyrus, an old practice illustrated by the ship's cable, wherewith the doors were fastened when Odysseus slew the suitors in his hall (Odyssey xxi. 390) The "rush" or "reed" basket in which the Biblical figure Moses was placed may have been made from papyrus.

This is one of a series of snail shots. I'm switching from private to public ...no need to comment if you already have.
Compact, robust, and big-headed warbler. Males are striking with a black hood contrasting with whitish throat, grey back, and red eye-ring. Females are duller with a grey hood, white throat, and buff body. Common in many typical Mediterranean habitats including tall bushes, open woodlands, gardens, coastal scrub, and plantations; also in oases, acacia woodlands, and scrubby desert in non-breeding range.
Usually first detected by its song, a fast, angry-sounding rattling "ctret-tret-tret-tret-tret" or "tetwtweer-tik-tik-tik" with whispering in between. The call is a dry "tseck."

Artist: Ludolf Backhuysen I, Dutch, 1630-1708
Title: A frigate and other vessels on a rough sea, 1681
Material: oil on canvas painting
Venue: Speed Art Museum, University of Louisville
The caption on a placque next to the museum painting states: "Look at the heavily-armed frigate in the center, at anchor with its sails set out to dry. It displays a long tricolor flag, indicating that the commander is on board. To its left, a rowboat ferries a dignitary to a finely carved yacht bearing the initials 'VOC' (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, or Dutch East India Company). As the yacht fires a salute, fishermen in a small rowboat in the foreground watch with curiosity."
