A veces es preciso tender puentes, aunque sea en pendiente, entre una orilla de cañas, hierba, tierra suelta y un superficie de tablillas flotantes. Cierto, no es muy firme…pero es ¡muchísimo mejor que nada.!
Tenrecs tend to sleep thoughout the day but are more awake at tea time. Whilst she is very tiny indeed, the cherry blossom reflects her tiny size. Her curiosity and personality more than makes up for her tinyness.
Attraverso la tenda si percepisce l’azzurro del cielo e il bianco del terreno che si congiungono all’orizzonte sotto la luce del sole. E’ comunque difficile capire la vera natura del paesaggio che attende lì fuori. Forse uscendo troverei la spiaggia bianca della mia memoria, con me bambino che nella canicola racconta a se stesso una storia di pirati, o forse il lago di sale senza fine che appartiene al futuro e che compare nei sogni dove è facile perdersi.
Attendo incerto, mentre quel poco di vento che dà vita alla tenda cerca di trattenermi nel presente.
Sirad 2012, "La traccia labile"
A rather poignant view of a tree among the moss covered remains of its neighbours. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.
Rouen (France) - Photo prise le 7 Mars 2023, lors de la journée nationale d’action contre la réforme des retraite. Encore une importante manifestation qui s’est déroulée dans le calme et la bonne humeur. En témoigne ce syndicaliste CGT qui déambule tranquillement sur un air d’accordéon. L’Internationale à l’accordéon, je ne l’avais encore jamais entendue. J’aimerais bien entendre ce que donne cet hymne révolutionnaire au djembé ?!
Musette trend protester
Rouen (France) - Photo taken on March 7, 2023, during the national day of action against pension reform. Another important demonstration which took place in calm and good humor. Witness this CGT trade unionist who strolls quietly to an accordion tune. The International on the accordion, I had never heard it before. I would like to hear what this revolutionary hymn to the djembe gives ?

Have a superb weekend, friends
Analogica ,Exa 1 B ( 1977 ) con mirino a pozzo ( waist level viewfinder ), Fujinon 55 mm 1.8 F, Fomapan 200 asa, sviluppo con Rodinal. Solo una prova di messa a fuoco...
Spotted this along a road I travel often - it was new and looks like the farmer who owned the land recently finished restoring it. A gorgeous truck, probably 100 years old or close to it.
Happy Truck Thursday!
One of several decaying buildings from the Indian Shaker Church and Gulick Homestead, a 19th century ensemble of historic buildings located in The Dalles, Oregon.
In the background is The Dalles Bridge. It opened in 1953 and is already going through a bridge deck replacement project meant to make the bridge safer and smoother for travelers.
The Gulick Homestead has been around since the 1890's and, though it was added to the NRHP in 1978, there hasn't been a single repair project to my knowledge. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. Thank you!
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Grey-crowned Babbler
Scientific Name: Pomatostomus temporalis
Description: The Grey-crowned Babbler is the largest of Australia's four babbler species. It is dark brown-grey above, with a distinctive grey crown stripe and a dark face mask that contrasts with a white eyebrow. The chin and throat are white, running into a pale grey lower breast. It has a long, curved bill, short rounded wings with cinnamon brown wing patches and a long tail tipped white. The eye is pale yellow in adults. There is a darker-coloured subspecies, rubeculus, in north-western Australia (often called the Red-breasted Babbler), that has a rufous lower breast and darker crown stripe. The Grey-crowned Babbler is a noisy and gregarious bird, usually found in small groups of four to twelve, and is often seen on the ground or in low trees. It is sometimes called the Yahoo, after one of its calls.
Similar species: The Grey-crowned Babbler lacks the dark crown of other babblers and has a yellow rather than a dark eye.
Distribution: The Grey-crowned Babbler is widespread throughout north-western, northern, central and eastern Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea.
Habitat: The Grey-crowned Babbler is found in open forests and woodlands, favouring inland plains with an open shrub layer, little ground cover and plenty of fallen timber and leaf litter. May be seen along roadsides and around farms. In south-east Melbourne, small populations survive on golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary.
Feeding: Grey-crowned Babblers feed on insects and other invertebrates and sometimes eat seeds. They forage in groups of two to fifteen birds on the ground among leaf litter, around fallen trees and from the bark of shrubs and trees (they tend to use trees more than other babblers).
Breeding: Grey-crowned Babblers live and breed in co-operative territorial groups of two to fifteen birds (usually four to twelve). Groups normally consist of a primary breeding pair along with several non-breeding birds (sometimes groups may contain two breeding pairs or two females that both breed). Most members of the group help to build nests, with the primary female contributing the most effort. Two types of nest are built: roost-nests (usually larger and used by the whole group) and brood-nests (for the breeding females), and often old nest sites are renovated and re-used from year to year. The large domed nests are placed in a tree fork 4 m - 7 m high and are made of thick sticks with projections that make a hood and landing platform for the entrance tunnel. The nest chamber is lined with soft grass, bark, wool and feathers. The brooding female (sometimes more than one) is fed by the other group members and all help to feed the nestlings. Larger groups tend to raise more young, and two broods are usually raised per season.
Calls: Loud scolding and chattering calls: 'wee-oo'. Also distinctive 'ya-hoo' duet by breeding female ('yah') and male ('ahoo') repeated six to eight times.
Minimum Size: 25cm
Maximum Size: 29cm
Average size: 27cm
Average weight: 81g
Breeding season: July to February
Clutch Size: Usually two to three, up to five if more than one female.
Incubation: 23 days
Nestling Period: 23 days

There are always plenty of maintenance staff in Bangkok Parks. Watering is particularly important after the end of the rainy season
In una splendida giornata di gennaio la D445.1108 è stata incaricata di soccorrere le carrozze rimaste a Ventimiglia dell'IC Ventimiglia-Milano che doveva partire il 17.01.2015 ma che non ha potuto effettuare la corsa a causa del deragliamento del IC660 ad Andora a seguito di una frana sui binari, bloccando di fatto l'intera circolazione nell estremo ponente ligure.
Grazie alla meravigliosa linea Cuneo-Ventimiglia, la stazione di Ventimiglia è stata rifornita, con invii materiali come intere composizioni di E464+MD! oppure carrozze PR liguri (Vedasi link). In questo caso la locomotiva si fece carico dell'ultima tranche di Z1 (4 carrozze), creando un verosimile Intercity sulla linea del Tenda.
Un saluto a Luca Verzeroli incontrato quella meravigliosa giornata.
It's an Enoplognatha ovata spider, aka a candy-striped spider, that was so tiny that it was hard to see. Indeed, according to Wikipedia, it's body size is less than 1/4 inch long. It has "translucent legs and the globular abdomen is extremely variable in color and pattern." This one didn't have the red "candy stripes" that some have.

Here is an adult bald eagle, the female I believe, tending to her hatch in her nest near us. I have probably said this many times. If, as a Boy Scout in the 1960s and having never seen a bald eagle, someone told me that I would have a nesting pair within a few miles of my house as an older man, I would have thought you crazy. Thank-you to all of the conservationists, not the least of which thank-you, John Dingell, one of the architects of the Endangered Species Act.
