At Corte Madera Shorebird Marsh, these three Snowy egrets were seen hunting and preening, while a Long-billed curlew was strutting near the shoreline behind them.
[ENG] The Chestnut forest of El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) it is a small forest of municipal property placed to approximately 1.100 m. of altitude in the header of the Reservation of Iruelas's Valley, to approximately 100 km from Madrid. It is the most extensive chestnut forest of the Central System, and on the autumnal station -the most showy and colouring- its paths are crossed by numerous visitors. Along the route we will be able to observe different species of trees and shrubs that they accompany on the chestnut-tree or form a part of the undergrowth of the chestnut forest (white hawthorn, hazel, elm of mountain, cherry, willows, holly, alder-tree, birch, heathers, ferns...). A section of the path passes parallel to the creek of the throat of the Yedra (Ivy), with it waters down all the year round and with a row of alder-trees that forming a small forest of gallery they wind close to the creek. With luck we can contemplate some species of birds of forest character (mocking-bird, blue climber, blackbird, thrush...).
[ESP] El Castañar de El Tiemblo (Ávila) es un pequeño bosque de propiedad municipal situado a unos 1.100 m. de altitud en las laderas de la Reserva del Valle de Iruelas, en la cabecera de la garganta de la Yedra, a unos 100 km. de Madrid. Es el castañar más extenso del Sistema Central, y en la estación otoñal –la más llamativa y colorida- sus senderos son recorridos por numerosos visitantes. A lo largo de la ruta podremos observar diferentes especies de árboles y arbustos que acompañan al castaño o forman parte del sotobosque del castañar (majuelo, avellano, olmo de montaña, cerezo silvestre, sauces, acebo, arraclán, abedul, brezos, helechos, ...). Un tramo del sendero discurre paralelo al arroyo de la garganta de la Yedra, con agua todo el año y con una hilera de alisos que formando un pequeño bosque de galería serpentean junto al arroyo. Con suerte podemos contemplar algunas especies de aves de carácter forestal (arrendajo, trepador azul, mirlo, zorzal...).

A key piece of hardware for NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and the agency's Artemis III mission is on its way to the Space Coast. The journey for the ICPS (interim cryogenic propulsion stage) began in Decatur, Alabama, where crews with United Launch Alliance first boxed it for shipment July 29 then loaded it onto ULA's "RocketShip" barge July 31. The barge will ferry the SLS flight hardware down the Mississippi River, into the Gulf of Mexico, then around the Florida peninsula to Cape Canaveral. Once it arrives at ULA's facility in Florida near NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the ICPS will undergo final testing and checkouts ahead of the crewed Artemis III mission. The ICPS is the in-space propulsion stage of the SLS rocket, giving NASA's Orion spacecraft and Artemis astronauts inside it the big push they need to journey all the way to the Moon for a lunar landing. The ICPS for Artemis III is the last of its kind as missions beginning with Artemis IV will use the SLS B1B configuration that includes the more powerful Exploration Upper Stage.

The Hollywood Sign (formerly the Hollywoodland Sign) is a landmark and American cultural icon located in Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains. The sign overlooks Hollywood, Los Angeles.
"HOLLYWOOD" is spelled out in 45-foot (13.7 m)-tall white capital letters and is 350 feet (106.7 m) long. It was originally created in 1923 as an advertisement for a local real estate development, but it garnered increasing recognition after the sign was left up. The sign was a frequent target of pranks and vandalism, but it has since undergone restoration, including the installation of a security system to deter vandalism. The sign is protected and promoted by The Trust For Public Land, a nonprofit organization, while its site and the surrounding land are part of Griffith Park.
The sign was erected in 1923 and originally read "HOLLYWOODLAND." Its purpose was to advertise the name of a new segregated housing development in the hills above the Hollywood district of Los Angeles.
The sign was officially dedicated in 1923. It was intended only to last a year and a half, but after the rise of American cinema in Los Angeles during the Golden Age of Hollywood, the sign became an internationally recognized symbol and was left there.
In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce began a contract with the City of Los Angeles Parks Department to repair and rebuild the sign. The contract stipulated that "LAND" be removed to spell "Hollywood" and reflect the district, not the "Hollywoodland" housing development. The Parks Department dictated that all subsequent illumination would be at the Chamber's expense, so the Chamber opted not to replace the lightbulbs. The 1949 effort gave it new life, but the sign's unprotected wood and sheet metal structure continued to deteriorate. By the 1970s, the first O had splintered and broken, resembling a lowercase u, and the third O had fallen down completely, leaving the severely dilapidated sign reading "HuLLYWO D."
In 1978, in large part because of the public campaign to restore the landmark by Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy magazine, the Chamber set out to replace the severely deteriorated sign with a more permanent structure. Nine donors gave US$27,777.77 each (totaling US$249,999.93) to sponsor replacement letters, made of steel supported by steel columns on a concrete foundation.
Another storm system ushers in unsettled weather to the Bay Area. Even a morning thunderstorm was witnessed in my neck of the woods! This was storm #2 out of this 2nd storm series/'atmospheric river' event this month... Drive safe out there, fellas! (Video footage filmed January 19, 2017 around San Jose, CA)
Weather scenario/summary:
Three strong storms were aimed to affect California this week... After an atmospheric river had drenched the state earlier this month, more precipitation has arrived in California. A series of 3 strong storms were set to sweep across the state beginning Wednesday and continuing through next Monday, dropping widespread heavy rainfall and bringing strong gusty winds to nearly the entire state. These storms were to be fairly different in character from those which brought flooding to California a week earlier. Instead of featuring very warm, moist, and slow-moving plumes of moisture associated with a “classic” atmospheric river, these storms this week were instead would be fast-moving, relatively cold, and associated with a powerful Pacific jet stream. This stormy period was forecast to occur in a time frame from January 18-23, 2017.
Looking ahead: Storm #3 (Sunday-Monday) has consistently appeared likely to be the strongest in this series, bringing widespread intense rainfall and strong winds. This last storm in the series was to have the potential to be highly consequential from a hydrological perspective given the antecedent wetness. Additional t-storm activity was also possible statewide, as well...

AAA came to my house last Monday to see if my battery needed to be replace. My car wouldn't start. My battery was three years and 3 months old. It did need replacing. The life expectancy is about two years, so my old one did well.
I was impressed with this Midtronics test unit which evaluated the entire electrical system in my 1996 Toyota Carola.. Everything checked out fine. Only the battery needed to be replaced. The service guy replaced it on the spot. It should last another three years, plus or minus.
I am also entitled to a free servicing at a specific auto service center nearby. I love Triple A!!

I'm very concerned about the decrease of the bees. I've noted I didn't see them the last summer in my garden and scientists are pessimistic about this subject.
No bees no eco-system...
Nevertheless...HBW!

Nowadays we have weak immune system in the body. It is very difficult to fight that virus called "technology addiction".
With this virus, we should blame oursleves or those technology giant companies?

I find triply orthogonal systems of surfaces very interesting
books.google.com/books?id=-LRumtTimYgC&lpg=PA661&... orthogonal surfaces&pg=PA661
I found it funny that when you revolve a family of loxodromes about an axis and add a set of planes around that axis (not shown here for clarity) you get a triply orthogonal system from only 2 families of surfaces.
Not quite the solar system as I only have 4 planets and the moon. These are left to right - Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and the moon. A series of individual photos stacked to show my efforts to date capturing the planets using a 150 mm Maksutov MK67 scope. I am hoping to update as I get better images of the planets, but success is reliant as much on technique as on finding a night with clear seeing.
