"Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind."

A Cumulonimbus Incus (Anvil Cloud) develops in the upper portion of Cumulonimbus Clouds resulting from rising air spreading out when bouncing off the base of the Stratosphere.
Cumulonimbus is a dense towering cloud formed beneath 20,000ft from water vapour carried by powerful upward currents and are associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. They can form alone, in clusters or along cold squally front lines - like the present.
Besides thunderstorms, these clouds can bring heavy rain, hail and snow - like we are currently experiencing.

After leaving the cliff-top view of the falls, I continued in an unrelenting, steep climb up the mountain through up two trail ladders, a boulder hop and descending down about a fourteen foot ladder to arrive here at the suspension bridge over the Raven Cliff Falls. I had reached an epic place in my journey. I really didn't want to cross over to the other side, because that in itself would signify to mark the beginning of the end. After crossing the bridge, the Naturaland Trust trail follows Matthews Creek parallel upstream, gradually ascending until it finally breaks hard to the right away from the creek. It ends at an intersection with the Gum Gap Trail. From there I hiked 3 miles back to intersect with the Raven Cliffs Trail, then I turned left to hike the Raven Cliffs Trail for 1.5 miles back to the parking area. What an incredible day it was.

The broad arrow mark was first used in 1544 by 'The Office of Ordinance' created by Henry VIII. Became 'Board of Ordinance' in 1597. Used at first to signify objects purchased from the monarchs money.
Now used as a government marking on anything of an 'Attractive Nature', to help prevent stealing. Whoops!

This sprawling hotel consists of five riads, all of them decorated in a different style signifying various historic periods.
The pale pink Riad Scheherazade drips with intricate stucco work and fine zellij tiling typical of the Saadian era, while the brick-lined Riad Almohad (set around a large pool) echoes the royal granary that once stood here when the Almohad Dynasty ruled.
Jewel-coloured Riad Saadia is clad in carved cedarwood, while Riad Sabaa is a vision of all-white stucco and marble set around a large whirlpool bath.

In the Victorian language of flowers, Celosias signified humour, warmth, and silliness.
Looking quite brainy.
The quirky flowers do beg for attention.
Touch the flowers; they are amazingly soft.
The cockscomb or cristata types feel and look like velvet, soft and shiny.
They also are great for drying and thus can be kept for a long time, looking more and more antique.
Take care, be safe!
Have a day filled with inner joy and thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt’s shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big “T” (for Tilt) framed by a diamond, which signified high quality.[1] The company's hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor Corporation, it was merged with Reo Motor Company to become Diamond Reo Trucks, Inc.[2]
During World War II, Diamond T produced a prototype of a heavy truck in the 980/981, a prime mover which was adapted and quickly acquired by the British Purchasing Commission for duty as a tank transporter tractor. Coupled with a Rogers trailer, the truck gave sterling service with the British Army in North Africa Campaign, where its power and rugged construction allowed the rescue of damaged tanks in the most demanding of conditions.[3] [citation needed] In addition Diamond T built the entire range of the G509 series 4 ton 6X6s, including cargo, dump, semi tractor, and wrecker trucks,[4] as well as some lighter trucks, and even G7102 half tracks.[5] Diamond T ranked 47th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[6] Diamond T manufactured three pickup trucks: The Model 80,201 and the Model 202. The pickups were powered by the Hercules QX-series 6-cylinder engines. The model 80 was produced from 1936 to 1938 and the Model 201 was produced from 1938 to 1949.
Commercial models
1928–1929 brought major mechanical improvements across the entire range. A closed cab with doors was introduced. All-wheel hydraulic drum brakes were used. Six-cylinder engines were available from Continental and Hercules for heavy trucks and a four-cylinder Buda powered light trucks. All trucks had geared-differential rear axles. By 1929 there were chassis load ratings (the weight of the body and payload) up to 12 tons (10,900 kg) on three axles.
1933–1935 In 1933 a new all-steel covered cab with doors and roll-up windows was introduced. In a 1935 model year style change it had been improved with a "streamlined" V-style windshield. This cab would be used on commercial and military trucks until replaced in 1951. In 1935 the trucks were also improved mechanically and new models were introduced. They developed through the rest of the 1930s. In 1935, Diamond T sold 6454 units and in 1936 it increased to 8750 trucks [8]. In 1938, Diamond T sold 4393 units and in 1939 it increased to 5412 trucks [9]. In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced in 1940.
1940–1942 In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced. In 1942 improved models went into production and then stopped after only 530 units for military production of tactical trucks and half-tracks.
1946–1947 Production of commercial trucks was stopped for military production in 1942. A small number of commercial trucks began to be built in 1944 and more in 1945. In 1946, the first year of full commercial production, there were five models, in 1947 there were fourteen. After World War II heavy trucks were measured by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the total weight of the chassis, body, and payload. In 1947 there were chassis rated from 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) to 36,000 pounds (16,000 kg) with conventional, sleeper, and COE models. Annual model changes were discontinued and many models continued unchanged until 1950. Gasoline and diesel engines were offered by Continental, Cummins, and Hercules. Single and tandem rear axles were available in many wheelbases.
Morning Glory flower/plant.
Just as its name indicates, the morning glory wakes each morning and opens its blossom to greet the world. As the day reaches its end and the sun sets, the flower slowly curls up and takes its rest – only for new blooms to open the next day.
But it turns out these gorgeous sun-seeking flowers are not only beautiful, but they’re also laden with meaning too!
The morning glory flower can have many meanings, but the most common include love, life, and death, or even love in vain.
Its ability to rise each morning and sleep each evening resembles human life.
It may seem like a depressing thought; the morning glory blooms each morning only to die each evening. But it’s about a lot more than that. The flower is resilient, able to grow in challenging situations and thrive each year. While they do indeed “die”, they rise again each morning – like clockwork – to signify not only death but the beauty of life
The name Cerion is based on the Greek word kerion, signifying honeycomb, and is given to these shells because the form of the shell resembles that of a beehive; hence they were at one time known as beehive shells. (from Wikipedia)

From my collection
«Y a pas le feu au lac», disent les Suisses avec leur accent traînant. Justement si, il y a le feu (au lac ou pas) !
L’expression « il n’y a pas le feu au lac » s’utilise pour signifier que rien ne presse, qu’il n’y a pas lieu de se dépêcher.
Elle connut à l’origine, au milieu du XXe siècle, une formulation plus courte. On disait à l’époque « il n’y a pas le feu ». Cette expression restreinte est d’ailleurs utilisée encore de nos jours. Elle est aisément compréhensible. S’il n’y a pas le feu rien n’oblige à se presser puisqu’aucun incendie ne doit être éteint. On peut donc prendre son temps.
Plus tard, l’extension « au lac » fut accolée à l’expression d’origine en référence au lac Léman, pour railler la prétendue lenteur du peuple suisse. Ce lac est en effet un des symboles du pays et l’absurdité de mentionner la possibilité qu’une étendue d’eau soit en feu participe grandement au caractère sarcastique de la référence à la Suisse.
"Y a pas le feu au lac", as the Swiss say in their drawling accent. That's just it, there's fire (at the lake or not)!
The expression "il n'y a pas le feu au lac" is used to mean that there's no hurry, that there's no need to hurry.
Originally, in the mid-twentieth century, it was used in a shorter form. In those days, we used to say "il n'y a pas le feu" ("there's no rush"). This restricted expression is still used today. It's easy to understand. If there's no fire, there's no need to hurry, because there's no fire to put out. So you can take your time.
Later, the extension "au lac" was added to the original expression in reference to Lake Geneva, to mock the alleged slowness of the Swiss people. The lake is indeed one of the symbols of the country, and the absurdity of mentioning the possibility of a body of water being on fire contributes greatly to the sarcastic nature of the reference to Switzerland.
The Easter Full Moon's glow, casting its light across the springtime earth, not only signifies the fulfillment of astronomical conditions but also illuminates a time of renewal, rebirth, and reflection for many around the world. Its occurrence varies each year, adding a layer of anticipation and variability to the onset of Easter celebrations. In this celestial dance, the Easter Full Moon serves as a reminder of the intricate ties between the heavens and human tradition, a beacon that has guided faith, culture, and the passage of time through the ages.

A6-ENM, a Boeing 777-31HER, on approach to runway 05 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as UAE2623 (Emirates Airline) from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was the aircraft's first visit to Toronto.
When Emirates introduced its special EXPO 2020 DUBAI UAE decals, it noted that the orange design signified opportunity. Other than the alliteration, that relationship is lost on me.
The blooming of bird cherry trees signifies the start of summer for many people here.

A Cumulonimbus Incus (Anvil Cloud) can be seen mid image and developing in the upper portion of lower Towering Cumulonimbus Clouds - resulting from rising air spreading out when bouncing off the base of the Stratosphere.
Cumulonimbus is a dense towering cloud formed beneath 20,000ft from water vapour carried by powerful upward currents and are associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. They can form alone, in clusters or along cold squally front lines - like the ones presently in a North Westerly airflow viewed above the hillside.
Besides thunderstorms, these clouds can bring heavy rain and hail which we are currently experiencing - between sunnier spells. Snow is also falling on the higher peaks in Snowdonia.
Prunus padus, known as bird cherry, hackberry, hagberry, or Mayday tree,
In Finland and Sweden, the blooming of bird cherry (Swedish-Hägg) signifies the start of the summer for many people.
Finally some good warbler action this afternoon in a few weeks. Looks like the winds are favourable for lake Ontario and hopefully these birds stick around for a few days! Also heard my first Blackpoll which signifies the beginning of the end.

The meaning of hydrangeas varies culturally. In Japan, they signify heartfelt emotion and apology, while in Europe, they can symbolise arrogance and vanity, with a historical belief linking them to singlehood.

Here in Germany we can buy colored eggs at the supermarket all year round, not just at Easter time, signifying that they are hard boiled.
There is a little selfie in the teapot reflection, too.
We have named our home here at Keefer Lake, "Ithaka." Symbolically, Ithaka is associated with the notion of returning home, signifying the journey of self-discovery and the yearning for a place to truly belong. Ithaka's connection to Homer's Odyssey is one of its most famous features as the home of the legendary hero Odysseus.

Weather
Rain
Water is the Essence of Life. No living thing can survive very long without it. It is incredibly old. We have the same rain as the ancients did and before their existence. It signifies the power to purify, to give deliverance, and it can also destroy evil and enemies in flood as in the Biblical stories. It is awesome as it is kind. It is benign, it is malignant, for we live or die without it. What a miraculous thing it is, it can engulf you but you cannot hold it in the palm of your hand. It can scold you, it can freeze you, it can inspire and frighten in the very next breath. I will always respect it in its many forms.
These are just a few images of rain observed ……….

The lily of the valley signifies the return of happiness. It is a very poisonous flower that would kill if ingested, but smells so sweet. However, it was used in perfume produce by Dior. You might recall you have heard of J'adore.
100 years ago today President Warren G. Harding drove the golden spike to signify the completion of the 470 mile long Alaska Railroad from Seward to Fairbanks. The ceremony took place just at the north end of the massive Mears Memorial Bridge across the Tanana River from the community of Nenana. I wish I could be there today with my friends and colleagues for the reenactment and celebrations taking place, but alas I'm some 3300 miles away (in a straight line...4500 or so to drive).
But since I can't here's a photo from a half dozen years ago just north of that hiatoric location as the ARR's local coal turn (train 188W) is headed north back to Fairbanks from the Usibelli Coal Mine in Healy behind a SD70MAC / GP40-2 alongside the Parks Highway at about MP 414.7.
In the background about a mile behind them is the Mears Bridge, a mighty 700 ft long structure which is one of the longest simple truss bridges in the world and was the final obstacle in the completion of this monumental wilderness railroad.

when proceeding toward the sea or leaving port, red buoys are kept to port side and green buoys to the starboard side. Red buoys are always even numbered, and green buoys are odd numbered. Red and white vertically striped buoys mark the center of the channel.
