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.

sorry to present you the Martin of 2018, it is not for lack of trying but this damn bird has decided to sulk my perches this year, I am in several lookout sessions without almost any success, the Kingfisher is Admittedly a magical bird but very cabochard with its very random visits, I nevertheless hope to be able to present the 2020 vintage to you very quickly, the animal photo has this particularity or nothing is ever acquired in advance, thank you for your great patience.

** Le clap de faim ** l'ambiance avec la retombée de fines gouttelettes n'a rien à voir avec un phénomène météorologique , c'est juste Madame qui vient de s'ébrouer après avoir dégusté son petit poisson et elle s'apprête déjà à replonger de nouveau dès que l'occasion se présentera .

** The clap of hunger ** the atmosphere with the fallout of fine droplets has nothing to do with a meteorological phenomenon, it's just Madame who just snorted after tasting her little fish and she's getting ready already to plunge again as soon as the opportunity arises.

La Bergeronnette grise se nourrit de nombreux invertébrés aquatiques et terrestres. Elle capture des insectes sur le sol après une courte poursuite, mais aussi en volant. Elle poursuit sa proie avec un vol ondulant rapide, ou en voletant brièvement avant de la capturer. Sur le sol, elle chasse en marchant, en exploitant toutes sortes de surfaces depuis les routes jusqu'aux toits des maisons et autres endroits découverts.
Elle peut capturer des proies en courant et en donnant un coup de bec pour la saisir. Il lui arrive aussi de sauter en l'air pour happer un insecte volant .
Mais cet oiseau aquatique chasse aussi dans les eaux peu profondes où elle trouve des invertébrés à la surface ou dans la vase. Elle voltige au-dessus de l'eau ou de la végétation.
Sur les côtes océaniques, elle fouille au milieu des algues le long de la limite des marées. Quand elle se nourrit dans les champs cultivés, elle suit souvent les charrues.

The Gray Wagtail feeds on numerous aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. It captures insects on the ground after a short chase, but also while flying. It pursues its prey with rapid undulating flight, or hovering briefly before capturing it. On the ground, it hunts by walking, exploiting all kinds of surfaces from roads to roofs of houses and other open places.
It can capture prey by running and pecking to grab it. It also happens to jump in the air to grab a flying insect.
But this aquatic bird also hunts in shallow water where it finds invertebrates on the surface or in the mud. It hovers above water or vegetation.
On ocean coasts, she digs among the algae along the tidal line. When foraging in cultivated fields, it often follows the plows.

FLOATING in the LANDSCAPE
The landscape is bright, floating in my dreams
A small blue dot, found a home upon my face
In nine weeks, it has become a melanoma
Stage three
The landscape is darker, everything more intense
A small blue dot got bigger, happy with its home
In nine weeks, it has released its children
They have spread
I am watching the light, and hoping for time
PS – Excuse the dramatic poem, it is therapeutic for me.
I would like to thank my flickr friends for their support and understanding. I will have less time for flickr for a while, so please excuse me if I don't get back to you staight away. While I do not anticipate the worst, it is a stage 3 melanoma, so that means I will have a few medical issues to deal with before the road is clear once more. Love to you all, Grant.

L'Ordre des Odonates regroupe les Libellules et les Agrions ou Demoiselles.
Ce sont tous des insectes de taille moyenne ou grande. La plus grande libellule actuelle mesure 19 cm d'envergure, celle de son ancêtre du Paléozoïque atteignait 60 cm.
Les Odonates ont de grands yeux composés et des antennes de très petite taille.
Leur appareil buccal est de type broyeur.
Les Odonates sont des prédateurs tant à l'état larvaire qu'adulte. Les 4 ailes sont de taille égale (Zygoptères) ou peu différente (Anisoptères).
L'abdomen comporte 10 segments bien apparents et un 11ème réduit.
Les larves sont aquatiques et peuvent vivre entre 1 et 3 ans.
L'accouplement se déroule en vol, le mâle tient la femelle au niveau du cou par une sorte de pince située à l'extrémité de son abdomen, la femelle courbe alors le sien vers l'avant pour mettre en contact son orifice génital terminal avec celui du mâle situé au niveau du 9ème segment.
Il y a 5700 espèces d'Odonates dans le Monde et environ 120 en Europe.

The Order of Odonata includes Dragonflies and Agrions or Damselflies.
They are all medium or large insects. The largest dragonfly today measures 19 cm in scale, that of its ancestor from the Paleozoic reached 60 cm.
Odonata have large compound eyes and very small antennae.
Their oral appliance is of the grinder type.
Odonata are predators both in larvae and in adults. The 4 wings are of equal size (Zygoptères) or little different (Anisoptères).
The abdomen has 10 clearly visible segments and a reduced 11th.
The larvae are aquatic and can live between 1 and 3 years.
Mating takes place in flight, the male holds the female at the level of the neck by a sort of forceps located at the end of his abdomen, the female then curves hers forward to bring her terminal genital orifice into contact with that of the male located at the level of the 9th segment.
There are 5700 species of Odonates worldwide and around 120 in Europe.

“It's not as if our lives are simply divided into light and dark. There's a shadowy middle ground. Recognizing and understanding the shadows is what a healthy intelligence does.”
― Haruki Murakami, After Dark

It's said that the West was built on legends...and that legends are a way of understanding things greater than ourselves. Forces that shape our lives. Events that defy explanation. Individuals whose lives soar to the heavens...or fall to the earth. This is how legends are born.
"Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attractions of the sun & moon on the oceans of the earth. (sumich, Jolo 1996)" At low tide, the green algae once again reveals itself and a reversal of color in this seascape shot results.

Dark orange & yellow crocosmia
plant.Crocosmia
Crocosmia, or Montbretias as they are colloquially known, are really valuable for adding warm red and orange tones into the summer border, a contrast in shape and form to the wealth of summer daisies in flower at that time. Given conditions where they are happy they can be rewarding and long lived. They retreat each winter to a corm – a swollen stem – each year producing new bulb like structure. Over the years these annual corms can pile up to form lengthy strings with the older corms having some role in providing nutrition to the youngest active corm. It is on account of this that the old practice of annual lifting of corms can be detrimental. Also old wisdom had you lift and replant corms late in the year, a practice that didn’t give the corms enough time to settle before winter.
Crocosmia are relatively easy to grow and it might seem that all Crocosmia are similar and require the same treatment. There is a universal desire for a warm spot in sun or dappled shade and a soil that is neither excessively heavy, nor boggy. However, a little study of the parent species can lead to a greater understanding of the condition individual varieties would really like. Several of the species are to be found growing in light woodland in the wild (C.aurea and C.potsii) or in damp grassland (C.paniculata). As a generalisation they come from environments which are moist for the growing season.
The varying hardiness of Crocosia cultivars can be attributed to the contribution the parents make to their makup. Varieties of Crocosmia potsii are considered the most cold hardy, with those of Crocosmia aurea being the least. Cold isn’t the only hardiness issue, Winter wet is also a factor, with Crocosmia potsii being exposed to a fair degree of moisture all year around in its native environment whilst other species such as Crocosmia pearsei needing a lot more exposure to warm dry conditions to be happy.
In the growing season, Crocosmia masoniorum likes it on the warm and dry side, tending to decline in rich moist soils. This contrasts with the requirement of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora for a moist, rich warm spot to produce of its best. Cultivars of Crocosmia paniculata tend to be shy to flower in dry conditions.
If you live in an area where you need to lift Crocosmia corms against the winter cold, it is essential to keep them from drying out over winter. Store them in peat or shaving over winter to prevent them dessicating and when it comes to Spring plant them in cool conditions to allow them to rehydrate before shooting. Planting warm from a dry corm is a recipe for disaster.
The name comes from the Greek ‘krokos’ = saffron and ‘osme’ = smell, referring to the strong smell of saffron given off by the dried flowers when immersed in water.
they gain an understanding of the mutual attraction of rain and weekends :-)

“To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colors and shapes,
To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness
Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.
To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.
To be a smile on the face of a woman
And shine in her memory
As a moment saved without planning.”

We had been to Chaco Cultural Park, and loved it. The park is magical because you can explore inside the actual structures. This really makes you feel history. Well, when it was time to schedule a visit to nearby Aztec Ruins National Monument, we figured it was going to be more of the same. Now, that was just fine with us, because we loved Chaco.
However, the National Park team was very thoughtful. They did not want similar experiences in two parks that were so close to each other. So how to you address this issue? They had Chaco is a state of arrested decay, meaning they work hard to leave it like they found it. No more decay, but no less either. Its a fine balance. So at Aztec, they re-created a full community sized Kiva. This contrasted with Chaco because it was finished, like it would have been long ago. This provided a very different experience and thought us new things about the Puebloan culture (not Aztec, BTW, that was a misnomer made long ago that stuck).
So what does that mean to this image? I had shot a classic image at Chaco that showed the procession of doorways spanning several rooms. I loved it. But I did not want to shoot the same thing here. Well, here they recreated the wood ceilings throughout a procession of rooms. So to emphasize the uniqueness of Aztec (the fact that its complete) I tried to capture the wood ceiling. What I came up with reminded me that I often do much better work when I have some kind of constraint. The fact that I challenged myself to include the ceiling ended up creating an image that truly am proud of. It ended up with a real adventure feeling (blame Indy I guess).
Enjoy. Let me know what you think.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths... Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
(Proverbs 3:5-6,23)
Dein Bild in den Spätnachrichten,
Wimmernder, sterbender Soldat.
Eine Zahl in den Kriegsberichten,
Ein Rädchen im Kriegsapparat,
Für einen Schachzug zerschossen
Und für ein Planquadrat im Sand,
Für einen Wahn hast du dein Blut vergossen
Und immer für irgendein gottverdammtes Vaterland!
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und all das Elend vorbei!
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und das Ende der Barbarei!
Vielleicht sechs oder sieben Jahre,
Von Granatsplittern verletzt
Im Flur ein Kind auf einer Bahre,
Ein leises Weinen nur zuletzt.
So sieht es aus, das Bild des Sieges,
Und alle wissen es nur zu gut!Und den Preis zahl‘n die Kinder des Krieges
Von Belfast bis Soweto, von Sarajevo bis Beirut.
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und all das Elend vorbei!
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und das Ende der Barbarei!
Ruhmsüchtiger Kriegsminister,
Ehrgeiz‘ger, greiser General
Und eure Mordgeschwister,
Ihr Handlanger im Arsenal:
Habt ihr niemals diese Visionen?
Und ihr da im Rüstungskonzern:
Sie sterben durch eure Kanonen,
Und es klebt Blut an euren saubren Händen, ihr sogenanntenehrenwerten Herrn!,
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und all das Elend vorbei!
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und das Ende der Barbarei!
Wenn die Kriegsherrn im Nadelstreifen,
Die wahren Schuldigen geächtet sind,
Wenn Soldaten endlich begreifen,
Daß sie potentielle Tote sind.
Wenn von Politikerversprechen
Sich nur dieses erfüllt von all‘n,
Wird eine bessere Zeit anbrechen,
Denn: „Wer noch einmal eine Waffe in die Hand nimmt, dem soll die Hand abfall‘n!“ *
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und all das Elend vorbei!
Wann ist Frieden,
Endlich Frieden,
Wann ist Frieden, endlich Frieden und das Ende der Barbarei!
Song by:Reinhard Mey
A Little Peace.
Just like a flower when winter begins
Just like a candle blown out in the wind
Just like a bird that can no longer fly
I'm feeling that way some times
But then as I'm falling, weighed down by the load
I picture a light at the end of the road
And closing my eyes I can see through the dark
The dream that is in my heart
A little loving', a little giving'
To build a dream for the world we live in
A little patience and understanding'
For our tomorrow, a little peace
A little sunshine, a sea of gladness
To wash away all the tears of sadness
A little hoping', a little praying,
For our tomorrow, a little peace
I feel I'm a leaf in the mound on the snow
I fell to the ground, there was no-one below
So now I am helpless alone with my song
Just wishing the storm was done
A little loving', a little giving'
To build a dream for the world we live in
A little patience and understanding'
For our tomorrow, a little peace
A little sunshine, a sea of gladness
To wash away all the tears of sadness
A little hoping', a little pray in,
For our tomorrow, a little peace
We are feathers on the breeze
Sing with me my song of peace
We are feathers on the breeze
Sing with me my song of peace.

Listen to me!
(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker!
(War)
Friend only to the undertaker
Ooh, war
Is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction, then destruction
Who wants to die?

It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
(War)
It's got one thing and that's the undertaker
Ooh, war
Has shattered many a-young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter, and mean
And life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Oh, war!
(H'uh) Good God, y'all
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')
Say it, again
(War)
Whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord

Woo!
Peace, love and understanding tell me
Is there no place for anything else?
They say we must fight
To keep our freedom
But Lord, knows there's got to be
A better way
Oooh

(What is it good for?)
You tell 'em! (h'uh)
Say it, say it, say it
(War)
Good God (h'uh) now, h'uh
(What is it good for?)
Stand up and shout it

A golden pancake is browning in the kitchen,
And the day is surprisingly clear.
The soul blooms, sings, and rejoices,
In both hot and cold weather.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you more luck in life
and a great mood!
May your home be filled with grace and prosperity,
and your heart be filled with love, understanding, and order. Let's say goodbye to the cold winter,
And celebrate this national holiday.
May there be a mountain of pancakes on the table,
I wish you love and good.
One we will eat for good luck,
The other - for monetary profit.
For loyal, devoted friends
Raise glasses of wine.
And the fifth pancake - for all our friends,
for those who are dear to us and our homes.
Let success knock on your door,
And laughter will fill your home. .... Treat yourself, friends, these pancakes with cottage cheese...!

Update April 02, 2025. Now I only accept new group invitation that allows all media types including videos.
Ten years ago, we had a dozen cormorants roosting at the big pond. In 2021, the pond had gone to see; the water looked polluted; and not one cormorant has been seen in the three years. I'm not concerned about the birds that are found year round on the coast from Baja to Alaska.
It was always my understanding that the double-crested cormorant didn't show the crests except in breeding season, and breeding took place in central Canada - esp. Saskatchewan and the northern tier of U.S. states, to far eastern Canada. Ostensibly, their range is 70% of the whole continent. Well, those are two crests; she was sitting on her eggs; and this is north central California. She was also showing off those emerald eyes, esvidently something else only seen in breeding. I could get as close as 10 feet to her, but I took only three photos before I left her in peace. Four days later, the cormorant and nest were gone. It hasn't been explained.

*Working Towards a Better World
Each and every person throughout the world has to understand that if we unite and live in harmony we all win!! However, if we continue to fight wars and use violence we ALL suffer. We are all human beings made of flesh, blood, with eyes, a nose, mouth, hair, limbs, and similar bodies different only in colour and shape, but our hearts and brains are all the same, and we need to learn to use them to our mutual benefit, by tolerating and understanding one another, sharing together, caring about one another and working together in unity!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
