An American Kestrel dines on a delicious grasshopper.
I was actually thinking as I was walking to my car that there are soo many grasshoppers right now and how it would be an easy meal for any bird that wanted to eat them. Not more then a minute later I saw this kestrel hunting them from the telephone wire.

Mountains are benovelent by nature. They allow us to mine precious minerals, let us take wood, store water in glaciers that supply us with water and more. The snow cover reflects heat and maintains a climate that sustains life. Stop.
They have served a notice. No more of the above ifwe, the Homosapiens don't respect them. Respect in every sense. By being aware and doing every bit for the cause of Climate Change. Even more when we are travelling through them.
We all know what is right for the mountain and the earth; now we just need to implement them.
Happy World Mountain Day, all ye mountain lovers!

This one is from the last, good fog event I saw at the Golden Gate. While pondering a long lens shot of the bridge, I was drawn to the northeast by the lovely pink glow in the sky, which served as a backdrop for the fog meandering up the headlands and past winding Conzelman Road.
Thank you for your time and interest!

India, Kerala or Kēraḷam, Backwaters.
Kerala’s rich in fish, fertile unique backwaters, South India, a network of interconnected five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade, fed by 38 rivers & brackish lagoons extending nearly half the length of Kerala state. A labyrinthine system formed by almost 1.000 km of waterways lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast, known as the “Malabar Coast”.
The backwaters have an exceptional ecosystem; freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea, formed by the action of waves & shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.
A Thannermukkom Salt Water Barrier, preventing salt water from the sea is entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes.
Numerous unique aquatic species including mudskippers, crabs, frogs, water birds such as kingfishers, darters, terns, darters & cormorants, animals like otters & turtles live in the backwaters area. Palm trees, pandanus bushes & other leafy plants grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green shade to the surrounding landscape.

The walk back to get the boat was very pleasant and relaxing. Once back to the boat lunch was served and we got to see more of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
The Consolidated PBY Catalina was a versatile and widely used flying boat and amphibious aircraft during World War II, renowned for its long range and durability. It served multiple roles, including maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and convoy escort, helping to protect Allied naval operations. The Catalina’s ability to land on water made it indispensable for rescuing downed airmen and stranded sailors, earning it a legendary reputation in aviation history.

In Shakespeare's The Tempest (1611), Ariel - the benevolent, spying sprite who's been delivered from the evil witch Sycorax by Prospero, whom he's served throughout the play - is about to be set free. Happily he sings:
'Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
In a cowslip’s bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat’s back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.'
You might just imagine Ariel resting in the flower cup at the top in the photo. True, merry heaven for him.
Another name for Cowslip - especially east of the Meuse River where I am now - is Hemelsleutel/hemmelschlötsche, 'Key of Heaven'. The story goes that St Peter, drowsy after his long duty at Heaven's Gate, lets slip his golden key to Earth. There sprouted up our Golden Flower, called in Dutch 'Gulden Sleutelbloem', Gilt Key Flower. Those names are, I think, rather more imaginative than the Latin: 'First in Spring'.
Fatty marrow on char grilled toast (more delicious St. John bread) that bring out the smoky flavours from of the char. The marrow was served unsalted and tasted only oily, rich, but ironically very clean. I enjoyed the lightly dressed parsley salad, which was a lovely blend of crisp greens, kicked up with lightly salted fresh capers and peppery red onions. The salad was the cleansing component on this otherwise artery clogging plate, balancing out the strong flavours of the grilled toasts and cutting the richness of the fatty marrow.

The Florida Scrub-jay is a species of Scrub-jay that is endemic to Florida. That means that it can only be found in Florida where it has existed for millions of years. Its habitat is limited to Florida's scrub land. This habitat is arid and relatively unattractive and is prone to frequent wildfires. As a result, a specific set of small plants populate the habitat. Our pension to extinguish wildfires and develop scrub land into something "more attractive" has led to a gradual but steady decline in these birds. This is due predominantly to habitat loss. In a few areas these birds are unbelievably tolerant of humans, landing not only near people but on them too. In this instance this Scrub-jay landed my friend before leaping up, up, and away, into the wild blue. Meeting these birds for the first time is a humbling experience. Knowing that even our most well intended activities, like wildfire suppression, can have deleterious effects on other species should serve as a lesson for the future. Nature's most invasive species needs to be more responsible. Every change we make has significant consequences. #FloridaScrubJay
So if you were wondering what happened to Ted at the tea party, well he got what was coming to him.....
If you are ever at the MoMa in SF, go to the garden rooftop for coffee (or tea) and desserts. The presentation is so worth it alone.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

Japan, Seafood, selection of Yakimono, “Kushiyaky” are dishes using mainly beef, pork, poultry, seafood, vegetables or tofu are some of the most common foods prepared on a skewers & either grilled on fire or pan-fried.
The term “Yakimono” refers to a dish cooked over direct heat: “yaki” means “grilled” or “fried,” & “mono” means “thing, item.”
Mainly, there are 3 kinds of Yakimono in Japanese cuisine;
📍 Kushiyaki, grilled with skewers,
📍 Jibiyaki, directly grilled on fire,
📍 Kansetsuyaki, indirectly grilled, marinated or salt crusted grilled skewers.
Photo presenting;
• small fish of choice
• Octopus tentacles
• Calamari / squid
• Eel
• King Prawn
• Shrimps
It is believed that yakimono was invented by soldiers who impaled chunks of meat on their swords & stuck them into a fire. A typical yakimono dish is cooked as small pieces of food on bamboo skewers, the most famous of these dishes in the West being yakitori, or skewered & grilled chicken.
Most yakimono dishes are served piping hot, as an appetizer or as a part of a larger course of appetizers. There are also some other popular yakimono dishes that are not skewered, such as gyoza, pan-fried dumplings that are often filled with vegetables & pork, the basic type of yakimono is shioyaki, in which salt is coarsely sprinkled over the food before grilling.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

I like old gas pumps.
This one is still in use, but now it is on a ranch in Montpelier, Idaho. Just think of everything we see here that no longer exists at an Idaho gas station. The price shown is 07.9, so that is obviously bogus, but this pump doesn't even have a digit for $1.00 per gallon. Full Serve? Nope. And where is the credit card slot?
