Out with the Photo Marauders, Enchanted Lens Camera Club… the historic south east side of the Manzano Mountains in Torrance County…
The three Salinas Pueblo ruins inspire awe, wonder and trigger reflection on the regional history and culture... This imposing sandstone and adobe Catholic Church (45 ft. (13.7 m) tall) at the Quarai Pueblo site was completed in 1629 and first abandoned in 1677. The history of this structure and the early Spanish presence and Native American Pueblos and people in this region in New Mexico is fascinating and worth study before you go.

It had been raining on and off all morning but there’s always something to shoot. Taking shelter under the bridge I thought I’d snap the under structure of the SHB… it’s amazing this was constructed without any safety gear or ropes!

Just got back on Flickr. Bad Panda all morning. Hello everyone, if you want the status of Flickr and its problems go to the following website -- status.flickr.net/
Closeup of a black and white ruffed lemur. At Palmarium Reserve, we saw several families of this animal, some with youngsters. Most of the time, they were high in the trees, but sometimes they came down lower to check out the visitors.
The black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) is a Critically Endangered species of ruffed lemur, the more endangered one of two which are endemic to the island of Madagascar. Despite having a larger range than the red ruffed lemur, it has a much smaller population that is spread out, living in lower population densities and reproductively isolated. It also has less coverage and protection in large national parks than the red ruffed lemur. Three subspecies of black-and-white ruffed lemur have been recognized since the red ruffed lemur was elevated to species status in 2001.
Together with the red ruffed lemur, they are the largest extant members of the family Lemuridae, ranging in length from 100 to 120 cm (3.3 to 3.9 ft) and weighing between 3.1 and 4.1 kg (6.8 and 9.0 lb). They are arboreal, spending most of their time in the high canopy of the seasonal rainforests on the eastern side of the island. They are also diurnal, active exclusively in daylight hours.
Quadrupedal locomotion is preferred in the trees and on the ground, and suspensory behavior is seen during feeding. As the most frugivorous of lemurs, the diet consists mainly of fruit, although nectar and flowers are also favored, followed by leaves and some seeds.
The black-and-white ruffed lemur has a complex social structure and is known for its loud, raucous calls. It is unusual in that it exhibits several reproductive traits typically found in small, nocturnal lemurs, such as a short gestation period, large litters and rapid maturation. Wikipedia
Tiny hair-like structures of salt grow and combine to form the salt flats at Badwater in Death Valley. Here is a wider view of the same area showing how the salt combines to form geometric pools.

Morphologies, masses, and structures - oh, my!
This beautiful clump of glowing gas, dark dust and glittering stars is the spiral galaxy NGC 4248, located about 24 million light-years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs).
This image was produced by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope as it embarked upon compiling the first Hubble ultraviolet “atlas,” for which the telescope targeted 50 nearby star-forming galaxies. The collection spans all kinds of different morphologies, masses, and structures. Studying this sample can help us to piece together the star-formation history of the Universe.
By exploring how massive stars form and evolve within such galaxies, astronomers can learn more about how, when, and where star formation occurs, how star clusters change over time, and how the process of forming new stars is related to the properties of both the host galaxy and the surrounding interstellar medium (the gas and dust that fills the space between individual stars).
This galaxy was imaged with observations from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3.

A utility pole that uses the minifigure zip line handles so that string can be fed through to link multiple poles together. Would work well for layouts I think. It's also made to be pretty sturdy. Free Instructions here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-50464/MasterBuilderKTC/utility-p...
A different angle of The Wave structure in Arizona. What a place to see! But don't forget to get a permit to go there.

CATALÀ
Tragopogon pratensis, conegut també com a barba de cabra o salsifí de prat, és una espècie de planta asteràcia. És biennal i herbàcia. Es troba als Països Catalans. Té una roseta basal amb les fulles allargades, del seu centre apareix una tija floral que arriba a fer 1 metre. La corol·la és ligulada, de color groc viu, només s'obre unes poques hores al matí i es tanca la resta del dia. Com altres espècies del gènere Tragopogon, rep el nom comú de barba de cabra perquè de la corol·la tancada s'escapen els filaments blanquinosos o bruns del papus plomós dels fruits que són similars a les pilositats de la barbeta del boc. Les arrels i brots tendres són comestibles.
És planta nativa de l'Europa mediterrània; s'estén fins a Europa septentrional, el Caucas i Pakistan. Ha estat introduïda a Amèrica i Nova Zelanda.

ENGLISH
Tragopogon pratensis (common names Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon,[1] meadow salsify, showy goat's-beard or meadow goat's-beard) is a biennial plant in the family Asteraceae, distributed across Europe and North America, commonly growing in fields (hence its name) and on roadsides. It is found in North America from southern Ontario to Massachusetts; most of England; on the eastern and southern edges of Scotland; and central Ireland but not the coastal edges.
It flowers between June and October and its flowers have a diameter of 3–5 cm. The root and buds are edible, and it has a milky latex.
The plant grows up to 76 cm (30 in) tall.[2]
It differs from viper's-grass (Scorzonera humilis) in that Viper's-grass has short, pale green bracts, whereas in Goat's-beard they are long and pointed.
The lower leaves are 10 to 30 cm long, lanceolate, keeled lengthwise, grey-green, pointed, hairless, with a white midrib. The upper leaves are shorter and more erect. It is the only United Kingdom dandelion type flower with grass like leaves.[3]
The flower heads are 5 cm wide. They only open in the morning sunshine, hence the name 'Jack go to bed at noon'.
The achenes are rough, long beaked pappus radiating outwards interwoven like a spider's web of fine white side hairs (referred to as a “Blowball")
The roots can be boiled and eaten like potatoes. The young shoots can also be used in diabetic salads.

(Asteraceae) "puffball" of pappus-clad fruits, similar in structure to "dandelion clock"
Pamela S. Soltis in Flora of North America (vol. 19, 20 and 21)
Plants (15-)40-100 cm. Leaves: apices usually recurved to coiled, faces initially tomentulose to floccose, soon glabrescent. Peduncles usually little, if at all, inflated (at flowering, may be inflated in fruit), initially floccose to tomentulose, soon glabrescent. Involucres urceolate in bud. Outer florets equaling or surpassing phyllaries; corollas yellow. 2n = 12. Flowering May-Aug. Disturbed sites; 10-2100 m; introduced; Alta., B.C., Man., N.B., Nfld. and Labr. (Nfld.), N.S., Ont., P.E.I., Que., Sask.; Ariz., Calif., Colo., Conn., Del., D.C., Ga., Idaho, Ill., Ind., Iowa, Kans., Ky., Maine, Md., Mass., Mich., Minn., Mo., Mont., Nebr., Nev., N.H., N.J., N.Mex., N.Y., N.C., Ohio, Okla., Oreg., Pa., R.I., S.Dak., Tenn., Utah, Vt., Va., Wash., W.Va., Wis., Wyo.; Europe. Tragopogon pratensis is naturalized across much of North America. The circumscription and infraspecific taxonomy of T. pratensis in Europe are debated, and the name T. pratensis may prove to be inaccurately assigned to the introduced populations in North America.

Los frutos son cipselas fusiformes con un cuerpo de 2-2,5 cm de largo, algo curvado y longitudinalmente surcado con finas crestas intermedias tuberculadas, bruscamente estrechado en un fino y liso pico centimétrico coronado por un vilano de numerosos pelos plumosos blanquecinos.

Inspired by Stephen Shore's gorgeous photo; U.S.10 Post Falls, Idaho and it's lyrical beauty and acceptance of the world around us I went this morning searching for just such a scene.
I looked for a location with minimal expression and inherent beauty, yet without drama. Found it 16 miles away.
Some photos are created in a snap or two. this one took me 10 minutes to compose and click.
Full of elements, yet those puddles are the most important ones.
They give your eyes a runway to take off and escape this place.
