...there are enough flowers here for you to nibble on and frolic through without eyeing up the ones in my hair! I had the best time scampering about this beautiful sim today...I mean, truly, what is not to love?! There are horses and flowers and trees, all of the things that make my heart pittery pattery happy! I made an adorable new friend as I traipsed through this cheery meadow, and he is perfect in every way, except for his penchant for the specific type of flowers I was attempting my to wear in my hair!

Scientific name: Onychoprion anaethetus
Trinomial name: Onychoprion anaethetus melanopterus
Ssp name: O. a. melanopterus
Common name: Bridled tern
Nombre: Charrán monja, Charrán embriado
Lugar de la captura: República Dominicana
As per Wikipedia:
The bridled tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) is a seabird of the family Laridae. It is a bird of the tropical oceans. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. The genus comes from onux meaning "claw" or "nail", and prion, meaning "saw". The specific anaethetus means "senseless, stupid".
This species breeds in colonies on rocky islands. It nests in a ground scrape or hole and lays one egg. It feeds by plunge-diving for fish in marine environments, but will also pick from the surface like the black tern and the gull-billed tern. It usually dives directly, and not from the "stepped-hover" favoured by the Arctic tern.
If I was to show you a book on a specific topic, and it had details and photos to contribute to its distinct message to get across its topic clearly, and then I said that no one wrote this book, it just appeared out of nowhere, would that not be ridiculous, because you can tell by its structure etc that there was a mind behind its creation. Like wise but in a much more profound way the things we see in nature with its complexity and order, shows beyond any doubt the existence of a mind that's way beyond our finite understanding, yet clearly discernible by what's made.

The specific name "pendulum" comes from the Latin adjective pendŭlus, a, um (= pendant, dangling) in relation to the pendulous branches and stems that characterize this species.
It loves acidic and humus-rich soils, from 600 to 2400 meters.
Bamboo
Tanabe Chikuunsai IV, who is of the fourth generation of one of Japan’s most renowned bamboo artist families, is known for his large-scale site-specific installations. With his academic sculpture education and the handcraft he learned from his family, he adapts traditional bamboo work to a contemporary approach and form, forcing the limits of his material to the utmost with respect to aesthetics and resilience.
In his work depicting the motions and forms of nature, Chikunsaai IV questions the contemporary human being’s relation with nature. The organic material he uses reminds the spectators of the sophisticated stories of Asian mythology, inviting them to become part of a tale. In his sculptures, we see the elegance of centuries old Japanese culture in its simplest form. For the site-specific installation he built for Odunpazarı Modern Museum (OMM), the artist used the five main constituents of nature as a theme: Water, fire, air, earth and humanity.
—————
Odunpazarı Modern Museum is a cross-cultural platform where modern and contemporary art from Turkey and abroad is exhibited with a universal perspective.
Located in the historical, Ottoman-era neighborhood of Odunpazarı in Eskişehir, the OMM building was designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA), the world-renowned architectural office.
OMM was founded by Eskişehir-born architect and art collector Erol Tabanca.

Gardens by the Bay is a nature park spanning on reclaimed land.
It is located in the Central Region of Singapore.
Gardens by the Bay is a tropical garden designed to celebrate the plants of the tropics
In January 2006, Gardens by the Bay began an international master plan design competition to get world-class ideas for the Gardens. The competition attracted more than 70 entries sent by 170 firms, from over 24 countries, including 35 from Singapore. Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter, both from UK, were awarded the master plan design for the Bay South and East Gardens in September 2006.
Bay East Garden is 32 hectares (79 acres) in size and it has a 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) promenade frontage bordering the Marina Reservoir. An interim park was developed at Bay East Garden in support of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. It is designed as a series of large tropical leaf-shaped gardens, each with its own specific landscaping design, character and theme.
Supertrees are uniquely designed vertical gardens ranging from 25 to 50 meters in height (82 to 164 feet), with emphasis placed on the vertical display of tropical flowering climbers, epiphytes and ferns.
Supertrees perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens. They are home to enclaves of unique and exotic ferns, vines, orchids and also a vast collection of bromeliads such as Tillandsia, amongst other plants.
My youngest son Shane asked me to take a picture of his Lego train, as if it really existed and functioned in the real world. Like it would have changed dimensions. It had to be an exciting photo in a specific atmosphere. I tried to realize that with this photo, and he told me that this is close to what he had in mind and he is happy with it.

Meteora (Greece) het andere Griekenland, een plek tussen Hemel en aarde en een indrukwekkende plek
Meteora (Grieks: Μετέωρα) zijn de op hoge rotspilaren gebouwde kloosters. Door eeuwenlange wind- en watererosie (ooit was de Thessalische vlakte een binnenzee) hebben de rotsformaties hun specifieke en moeilijk bedwingbare uiterlijk gekregen.

Meteora (Greece) another Greece, a place between heaven and earth and an impressive place
Meteora (Greek: Μετέωρα) are the monasteries built on high rock pillars. By centuries of wind and water erosion (once the Thessaly plain was an inland sea), the rock formations have their specific and difficult bedwingbare received appearance.
Badlands NP, Fall 2022. This specific place is where I showed up after dark, thinking I knew the correct direction for the rising Milky Way and I was SO wrong. This is pretty much ambient light except maybe for the warm tone at far right where my not-in-use LED panel spilled some light.
Some cool processing here for me. I actually used Lightroom's auto-mask sky, inverted it to the foreground, and increased the exposure. This of course adds noise. So I used Lightroom's latest tool, Denoise AI. It really cleaned up the foreground for me. Check it large - as high-ISO shadows go, this is pretty good. Thank you, Ken Krach for the tip.
Deventer op Stelten 2017 - English
For more than twenty years the historic town of Deventer in the Netherlands has celebrated culture and arts on the streets. While ‘Op Stelten’ (‘on stilts’) is now used largely as a figurative sense, the performers are truly of the highest level and come from all over Europe. During the weekend of 7 till 9 July the centre of Deventer turns into a giant open air theatre stage and attracts thousands of enthusiastic visitors.
This year, the 21st edition of the festival takes place from Friday evening the 7th until Sunday afternoon the 9th of July. The programme includes more than 150 top performances by theatre groups from all over Europe and the Netherlands. The entrance is free, with exception of a few ticketed performances.
In the last years ‘Deventer Op Stelten’ has developed strongly content-wise into a internationally acknowledged festival in professional open air theatre. As a result of its specific form and artistic quality, ‘Deventer Op Stelten’ has grown out to a leading festival for international open air theatre, and was declared the winner of Best Public Event of The Netherlands in 2014. Each year, the festival is visited by more than 120.000 visitors and is seen as an extraordinary, festive and world class cultural festival.

Straight Out Of the Camera

No matter where I have lived, I have always gravitated to the birds of prey ... the raptors. To me, there's something fascinating about their beaks, their wings, the look of concentration and determination, but mainly their talons. When a raptor flies over me, especially when they bank and show off their underside, or topside, of their body, it's so cool. Red-tailed hawks are the most variable of all of the buteos, depending on where they are found and also their color morphs. Of course, don't forget how their feather patterns change as they molt. It really makes a challenge for species specific ID.
I could raptor all day long and be happy ... we get all sorts of raptors visiting us throughout the winter and some visit during the summer.
This red-tailed hawk flew over me at a relatively close range (though this image is most likely cropped some for balance). The extended wingspan was amazing to view, with every feather serving a purpose. Love these raptors.
Happy Monday!

On June 3, 1841, Auguste Pervillé (?-1868), plant collector for the Museum of Natural History in Paris, from the 'Île de Bourbon' (today Réunion) writes a rather plaintive report to the grand administrator of the Museum. He's too low on funds and is just scraping by. Moreover of the eight months he's just spent collecting in Madagascar he was taken ill and could work only three. But he appears to be steady on the job. And indeed he did a lot of 'economic', agrarian work while he was at it. In Ambongo, southern Madagascar - where he also collected our plant - he found a particularly large coffee plant. If you search around a bit on 'the net' you'll be able to read that letter for yourself. Fascinating! For the rest, little is known of what must have been an exciting life of intrepid travel. In his first scientifc description of this Flaming Beauty, Henri Ernest Baillon (1827-1895) refers (1878) to Pervillé's find and adds that in the local language it's called 'Kirondron'; hence the specific name. It's become naturalised in the Tropics and graces KLCC Park.
When you just "drop into" a specific year's archive, you never know what your claws will surface with. (Like a penny arcade, remember?) Well, I didn't remember that my Dragonfly years went back to 2009-2010, but yes, and they coincided with my first wildflower foray.
What did surprise me was that ... I was good! The cameras were the SX10 and the SX20. I do remember that the lenses were excellent for closeup work. (It would be another year or two before I had a camera - the SX40 - with sufficient focal length for birding.) Composition was a real problem when I started with dragonflies and damselflies. Backgrounds could be just water but with the sun bouncing off. At other times, the backgrounds could be duck weed and all manner of acquatic fauna that made for messy shots and poor depth of field.
It was the SX40 that got me away from insects and flowers. After all, anyone with a digital camera could capture decent images of birds, but birds are far ranging (they fly) and, therefore, more time consuming than dragonflies or snapdragons.
Anyway, this was one of my first "pond-based" dragonflies, a Blue Darner near Heather Farm's larger pond. (After seven plus years of birding, I would return to odonates in 2017-2019.) My first dragonfly was, by the way, a female Variegated Meadowhawk found in tall grasses on the south side of Mt. Diablo, fairly distant from any water. But I got hooked. With the SX40, if it moved, I'd shoot so my photography was "all over the map," literally and figuratively.
Tateyama is a large volcano. The name does not refer to a specific peak but to the group of peaks associated with the volcano.
Murodou (室堂) as well as Midagahara (弥陀ケ原) and Bijo-daira (美女平) to the west are a sequence of lava plateau.
Murodou (室堂) is located at an altitude of 2,450 m. There is a transfer station between Tateyama Tunnel Trollybus and the bus service to/from Bijo-daira (美女平) near Tateyama town proper. There is a network of trails marked by poles to explore the volcanic terrain in Murodou including hotsprings, ponds, religious buildings etc.
Tateyama is directly hit by the northwestern monsoon in winter. There is no weather station in Murodo as it is completely closed down from December to early April due to heavy snowfall. Unazuki weather station, not far from Murodou in the the Kurobe-gawa gorge, records an average annual precipitation of 3,587 mm. Murodou is supposed to have more precipitation. Wettest months are December and January.
This photo was taken at the end of April.
You can ski in Tateyama until June. There is no lift but instead you can take bus to climb back to Murodou.

Oh, HOW I love this specific spot, in my Chateau de La Hulpe- land blessed wanderings! In ALL Seasons! If you notice, there is only a few meters distance between the spot I took each photo. What you see here is not actually a river, but a lake, which becomes narrow-formed at a certain point, and then stops at the borders…I normally follow my path on both sides of it, turning around at a point nearby, where a little bridge exists, which it is not included in my photos….
That morning, it was a misty, velvety November week-day! With all that very special silence surrounding me ….With all those magical Earth-colours and odours…Just very few people around, but with a soft smile on their face , and bright eyes…. And a heart-warming “Bonjour!!”, every time passing close to me…
*** Wishing you all, a DELIGHTFUL Weekend!!
I'm working on a specific ID. View Large & Bright! Best flower in the last 2 days. Location is the same general area as the previous photo. This plant is close to where the 'official' Pt Sierra Nevada trail crosses the unnamed creek & arroyo, that I posted a photo of here:

i've come back to this place intentionally, come back here for a specific reason, come back to this familiar scene, changed by the appearance of harsh weather, a tropical disturbance from the south, come back here to think about style and purpose, reason and freedom, art and acceptance. i've always struggled with style, wondered about it, tried my best to understand it, as an over-arching theme or viewpoint or dialect, perhaps. thought about it as a progression, a phase, a path, a voice whispering in my inner ear. and i've concluded that, for me at least, style, visual style, is secondary to expression, not really a part of the equation when it comes to getting things from wherever they come from to wherever they need to go at any particular moment. my mood swings wildly. the most important things on my mind typically stay the most important things, but my mood swings wildly, and the way i see things seems to follow my mood, and here we are, at the marina again, saying something about the weather, something about what it means to live near the water, near the sounds of boats and thunder, wind and torrential rains, something about clarity, something about freedom, something, that is not so evident to me, about this particular instance of time and space. i only know that it makes me feel better to see this right now, in this way. if that's a style, then ...

I just find it amazing how standing at a specific angle to the street light can completely bring to life the form of an automobile. I suppose a bit of rain helps...

Leiothlypis peregrina
(Tennessee warbler / Reinita de Tennessee)
The Tennessee warbler (Leiothlypis peregrina) is a New World warbler that breeds in eastern North America and winters in southern Central America and northern South America.
The genus name Oreothlypis is from Ancient Greek oros, "mountain", and thlupis, an unidentified small bird; thlypis is often used in the scientific names of New World warblers. The specific peregrina is from Latin peregrinus "wanderer".
It is migratory, wintering in southern Central America and northern Colombia and Venezuela, with a few stragglers going as far south as Ecuador. This bird was named from a specimen collected in Tennessee, where it may appear during migration.
This warbler, like most others, is nervous and quick while foraging. It creeps along branches and is found at all levels.

I love when you can see it raining in one specific spot but not all around.
Its also interesting how the rain seems to start so low to the ground. Is it always like that, and we just can't tell when we're under it?
When I was little I always imagined, without thinking about it much, that when it rains its raining everywhere for miles around and its falling from way high up. Now that I've started paying attention to the weather and photographing it, I see that quite often its raining in only one little spot at a time and the rain starts pretty low to the ground. But maybe its just that I can only see it clearly when its like that, and other times it does rain from higher up and over larger areas, and then I can't get the perspective to see it from outside?
These two last captures of these Beauties are taken last February, almost a year ago. It has not snowed yet during this Winter, so, why not sharing some photo-moments of the past one! This white Beauty was captured in the specific area of the Chateau de La Hulpe, where horses live.
After watching the habitual pattern of this superstar, I followed it one outing. He came to this specific tree in the background that had a cavity filled with sow bugs. He had cleaned out this honey hole as it was a great source of fuel for his migration journey. He stayed for 5 days and has finally moved on. Click for large view.
The specific alpestris is Latin and means "of the high mountains", from Alpes, the Alps.
The horned lark was originally classified in the genus Alauda.
The horned lark Is suggested to have diverged from Temnick's lark around the Early-Middle Pleistocene, according to genomic divergence estimates.[3][4] The Horned lark is known from around a dozen localities of Late Pleistocene age, including those in Italy,[5] Russia, The United Kingdom and the United States. The earliest known fossil is from the Calabrian of Spain, around 1–0.8 million years old. In 2020 a 46,000 year old frozen specimen was described from the Russian Far East.
Recent genetic analysis has suggested that the species consists of six clades that in the future may warrant recognition as separate species. A 2020 study also suggested splitting of the species, but into 4 species instead, the Himalayan Horned Lark E. longirostris, Mountain Horned Lark E. penicillata, Common Horned Lark E. alpestris (sensu stricto), alongside Temnick's Lark..
The trail to this specific look off is called Gibraltar Rock Loop.
Gibraltar Rock Loop is located along the incredible Musquodoboit Trailway, in Nova Scotia, Canada.

You may have noticed a growing trend in SL for a specific spooky boy look - if you're updating your av to reflect this then go take a peek at Stray Dog's new skin, Nicco, which matches well with Lelutka Camden (or Eon) to nail this style. The paler skins also look great for the Vampy types amongst you. I've teamed it up with Maxa's Dave Gothic Jacket for a nonchalant, IDGAF look.

Crocoite
4x3 inch
Adelaide Mine, Dundas, Dundas District, Tasmania
Australia
Crocoite is a mineral consisting of lead chromate, PbCrO4, and crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system. It is identical in composition with the artificial product chrome yellow used as a paint pigment.
Crocoite is commonly found as large, well-developed prismatic adamantine crystals, although in many cases are poorly terminated. Crystals are of a bright hyacinth-red color, translucent, and have an adamantine to vitreous luster. On exposure to UV light some of the translucency and brilliancy is lost. The streak is orange-yellow; Mohs hardness is 2.5–3; and the specific gravity is 6.0.

After Eric Gail and I decided on shooting the North Window for sunrise, we grabbed a couple of hours of sleep and headed back from the campsite in the dark. (Eric, by the way, has some serious mojo when it comes to getting campsites at the last minute on busy weekends. I think this was the third time in a row he just rolled up to a site that was marked "full" and somehow a got campsite.)
As soon as we parked, I made a bee-line for this particular spot as I knew it would fill up early. I need to thank Eric for tipping off to this location the day before. When you see photographers perched up in this position from below, it really does look intimidating. You can't really see the ledge or for that matter any possible way to crawl out there without using some serious rock climbing skills. But once you actually begin claiming up to this spot, there are only a couple of sketchy spots to negotiate before you arrive at one of the most stunning locations in Arches National Park. The arch within an arch is immediately visible as you look through the North Window to the Turret Arch directly behind.
And so I crawled out there in the dark and set up on a little outcropping of rock and dug in for the long haul. And sure enough, an army of photographers began to arrive 20 minutes later. By sunrise entire van loads of photographers were now milling around the window. It was interesting to watch several of them asking "WHO in their right mind would climb out there?" initially before their curiosity inevitably got the better and up they came.
For this particular shot, the "glow" behind the rock is actually light pollution, presumably from Moab, but I liked the way it played off of the early morning burn that was beginning to set up off to the East. I spent most of my time shooting up there with the Rokinon 12mm as I wanted to pull in as much color off to the East as possible while shooting through the window.
I finally gave up my spot to several other photographers who were circling like vultures behind me after the sun finally came out from behind the clouds. It was truly a spectacular morning and one has since become one of my favorite mornings of shooting to date. I can't wait to get back there!

Just finished a big week of concerts and spent yesterday racing from a sunrise in Laguna Beach out to Death Valley for a sunset attempt. I was tempted to get right into processing those shots, but I thought I would pause and take a look back first at my ever growing backlog of photos. I still have quite a pile from my trip up to the Columbia River Gorge from last May, and Spirit Falls was definitely one of the big highlights of the trip. A big shoutout again to Ryan Engstrom without whom we would have never found this particular set of Falls. To this day, I have no clear idea where these falls were located other than they were on the Washington side of the gorge. We were racing against the clock as our daylight was disappearing fast and suddenly Ryan yelled for us to pull over at a non descript pullout. From where we pulled over, we could hear no sound of running water, and off to the side of the road there was simply a jumble of boulders and scraggly looking trees. We all thought Ryan had lost it at that point. But trusting Ryan, (who had been pretty reliable so far), the four of us plunged over the ravine, and the spot Ryan led us to was easily one of the most gorgeous locations I've ever seen.
Our time shooting down there was very short, but I definitely want to return there soon. I just hope I can find it again on my next visit.

Hjerl Hede’s Open-Air Museum is an officially recognized privately funded theme-specific museum for cultural history.
The museum was founded in 1930 by director H. P. Hjerl Hansen and was run by the Hjerl-foundation until 1979 when the museum was separated from the foundation as a self-owned institution.
The museum consists of the Old Village, the Jutland Forestry Museum, and the Museum for Peat production. More than 50 different buildings can be seen at Hjerl Hede’s Open-Air Museum, showing the style of building and furnishing in the rural areas, as well as showing a number of elements which are characteristic for the surroundings of an old Danish
village. Among these are the rural craftsmanship.
Chillin : relaxing, hanging out, being calm, doing nothing, existing without worrying, spending time without doing anything specific.
That seems to be a good description for what the Green Tree Frogs at HMP are usually doing. Me, I was just Chillin and taking photos.
For the past two weekends in a row I've witnessed some of the most spectacular light I have ever seen in my life. How did I come to be standing on the bank of the Owens River when the sky erupted last Saturday? First, there was Ryan Engstrom who suggested that we shoot in this location when we met up last year in Death Valley. But there was no snow to speak of last year in the Eastern Sierras and it added another several hours to my trip home, so I bailed. Secondly, I finally plopped down $30 for a one year subscription to Skyfire on my Photographers Ephemeris app, and it had the area around Bishop pegged at a 90 percent chance of a blazing sunrise for last Sunday. So at 7 PM last Saturday, I threw my gear in the car and I was off.
This was my third trip to the Eastern Sierras since Summer, and I have to admit that I'm becoming something of an addict. There's just something about that early morning light hitting the snow on the Eastern Sierras that puts this mountain range in a league of it's own. It must have been after a sunrise much like this one that prompted John Muir to write:
And from the Eastern boundary of this vast golden flower bed rose the might sierra, miles in height, and so gloriously colored and so radiant, it seemed not clothed with light but wholly composed of it, like the wall of some celestial city...Then it seemed to me that the sierra should be called, not the Nevada or Snowy Range, but the Range of Light.
For more photos and rumination on how insanely amazing the Eastern Sierras are, please check out my new blog post on:

I had a specific hope from this sunrise shoot of the Buttercross in Brigg, North Lincolnshire, and that was to capture the sun rising at the end of the street on the left (Wrawby Street). But unfortunately there was an annoying slither of cloud on the horizon and by the time it cleared, the sun had moved too far to the right. Maybe I’ll be luckier another time.
Shot as a 5 shot panorama (each bracketed) with my Tilt Shift, and stitched in Lightroom. The highlights on the front of the building are due to spotlights above the upper windows.
The Buttercross, historically was the Brigg Town Hall, but is now used as a tourist information centre and as an events venue.
