The little artist embraces all the colors…
Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of the following vibrant creations:
8f8’s soft diversity, colour stream, their lunachair, her lunachair, his lunachair, maple divider, cypress divider, and lilac divider, which are all part of the Vivid Liveliness Collection!
And outside the window, the little man created with:
8f8’s Sakura Bride, which is part of the for a moment serenity collection!
anc’s Lavender!
Let’s keep lifting one another up, sharing kindnesses and support, understanding that every one of us is valuable and has something important to share.
Let’s embrace all the colors, knowing that everyone has the right to define themselves and be who they are.
Let’s keep learning, listening, encouraging, connecting, growing, inspiring, and creating.
And let's keep shining bright, my friends!
During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

I thought these pincushions looked rather pretty in black and white. They are white anyway. Thank you to all my Flickr friends for your continued support!!
through an understanding of others and the world we inhabit. When that happens, the result, like photographs, are really the expressions of the life of the maker.

Understanding is the reflection of creating.
(Une citation d'Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam. (1838/1889)
When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Light snowfall just now and my garden Buddha smiles.
I've completed my tax return so I'm smiling too :-)
... cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

MY Anthurium Bicolor
Continuing the theme of "quirky Indiana", today's feature is this old Impala sitting on the top of a metal tower.
One may ask "why", and I don't have an answer. But this is (or was) part of a menagerie of unusual stuff that included a vintage motel sign, old railroad cars and junk trucks. All located at a train station that was converted into a seafood restaurant. The business has since closed and to my understanding most of this stuff have been removed from the property. I'm not sure if this car is still there or not!
Charlestown, Indiana
UPDATE: Unfortunately this car (and everything else) has been removed from the property as of 10/2021.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.

This White Egret flew to the limb above my right shoulder...We had an 'understanding' that if I didn't scare him, he wouldn't gift me!
We both made out! ;-)
Asking all of us, including myself, to try and look at things from all points of view. It is easy to assume that someone else is wrong, but takes more time to figure out why they have that opinion and is it valid. We need to take the time to discover these things before judging. And we need to be more giving and understanding.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - „(What’s so Funny ’Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding“
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssd3U_zicAI
As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin′ for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny ′bout peace love and understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
′Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
′Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny ′bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

‘Increased understanding of the influence of habitat and intrinsic factors on survival of a species is a prerequisite to successful management programs, particularly as they relate to population dynamics and the role of population models in adaptive species management.”
While walking the beach of west Texas watching the wildlife struggle daily for survival, seeing the pollution of man created by its struggle to survive I could not but correlate and remember a Biologist prof back in college with the quote above and wonder when will politicians and environmentalist direct their attention to what Biologist teach on a daily basis.

Understanding my roll.
When our first grandchild was born, my son’s family was stationed at NAS Pax River Maryland. We made the drive from Indiana to Maryland as often as possible and they the reverse. August was a beautiful baby boy who looked and acted like every other baby…like a little humanoid who had lots of intake and the smelliest of outgo. When it comes to babies…until they are old enough and can be responsible for their own head and neck, well let’s just say that holding one makes me as nervous as being wrapped up like a mummy utilizing live Boa constrictors! Scratch that as it is an exaggeration…I would prefer the boa’s!
I do not remember his exact age but I would guess it was around a year and a half old and they were in town for a visit. It was a beautiful spring/summer day and August and I were walking around the front yard, just exploring and enjoying time together. As we walked hand in hand, we came upon a bush. I have no idea what type of bush it was, even though it was part of our landscaping. It was both yellow and green, the type that looked a bit sharp but wasn’t.
We stopped and were looking at the bush when August without a word spoken looked up into my eyes. Instantly I knew his question and I said “You can touch it.” He gently reached out and started feeling the texture of a single branch, and smiled. It was at that exact moment, as if hit by lightning, that I felt like a grandfather for the first time…accepting responsibility for one of my roles in his life, to assist with discovery.
Fast forward seven years and I am at Custer SP photographing bison when I notice this little one. Its nose was inches from the ground and a few feet away from a lone blue flower. It moved from side to side, eyed fixed on the flower as if it was wondering what it was…a bit curious, a bit hesitant. A few seconds passed before it worked up the courage to approach the flower. When it bowed down to ascertain its fragrance, I took this photo.
Watching this bison reminded me of the thrill, the absolute blessing of discovery…making this shot a personal favorite from this trip!
