Hello my friends, I'm there five months without posting photos because being with my chores and no be no time to reciprocate your kind comments! Returning soon to leave my message of Happy Holidays''''. I am very grateful for your understanding and friendship here on Flickr! Brazilian friend's greetings!
an exchange between you and the landscape, in which - however unlikely this may seem - there is a dialogue between the two of you. It is simply courtesy to allow the landscape to speak :-)

"In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf. Some bracts are brightly colored and attracting pollinators.Before understanding what a bract is, it is helpful to understand what it is not.
First, it is not a part of the 'flower' by definition.Complete flowers are composed of four parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. A bract is none of these. Some bracts are brightly colored and serve the function of attracting pollinators."

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!!

Insociable et farouche, le Martin-pêcheur consacre une grande partie de ses journées à la surveillance du territoire. On l'observe le plus souvent passant en trombe, d'un vol direct comme une flèche scintillante, au-dessus de l'eau, s'arrêtant souvent sur des perchoirs favoris pour visiter ses lieux de pêche. Immobile sur son perchoir, il scrute la surface du plan d'eau en attendant patiemment qu'une proie se présente favorablement.

Unsociable and fierce, the Kingfisher devotes a large part of his days to monitoring the territory. It is most often observed whirling around, with a direct flight like a scintillating arrow, above the water, often stopping on favorite perches to visit its fishing grounds. Motionless on its perch, it scans the surface of the body of water, patiently waiting for prey to present itself favorably.

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)
Oiseau aquatique de la taille d'une oie, le Grand Cormoran est presque complètement noir avec reflets métalliques bleutés et un peu bronze discernables à faible distance. Il se distingue des cormorans huppé et pygmée par sa taille supérieure, sa silhouette plus massive, ainsi que par une zone jaunâtre à la base du bec. Le Grand Cormoran vole souvent à bonne hauteur même au-dessus des terres et volontiers en formations en V ou en ligne, cou tendu en avant. Excellent plongeur, il est aussi à l'aise en mer qu'à terre. Pour pêcher, le grand cormoran nage très profondément dans l'eau, et parfois jusqu'à une vingtaine de mètres. Comme les autres cormorans, il nage très enfoncé dans l'eau. Son bec crochu, sorti de l'eau, prend souvent l'aspect d'un serpent. S'il est menacé, cet oiseau s'enfonce dans l'eau et ne laisse que sa tête émerger. Comme les Cormorans pygmée et huppé, il a un plumage moins étanche que celui d'autres oiseaux aquatiques. Après chaque plongée, il est obligé de se poser les ailes entrouvertes sur des pieux ou des rochers pour faire sécher son plumage au vent, souvent pendant plusieurs heures. Les Grands Cormorans vivent fréquemment en groupes. Ils se rassemblent souvent sur les bancs de sable, les récifs, les jetées, etc.

A goose-sized aquatic bird, the Great Cormorant is almost completely black with metallic bluish and tan reflections discernible at close range. It is distinguished from the crested and pygmy cormorants by its larger size, its more massive silhouette, as well as a yellowish area at the base of the beak. The Great Cormorant often flies at good height even over land and willingly in V-formations or in a line, neck stretched forward. An excellent diver, he is as comfortable at sea as on land. To fish, the great cormorant swims very deeply in the water, and sometimes up to twenty meters. Like other cormorants, it swims very deep in the water. Its hooked beak, out of the water, often takes on the appearance of a snake. If threatened, this bird sinks into the water and only lets its head emerge. Like the Pygmy and Crested Cormorants, it has less airtight plumage than that of other water birds. After each dive, it is forced to land its wings parted on stakes or rocks to dry its plumage in the wind, often for several hours. Great Cormorants frequently live in groups. They often congregate on sandbars, reefs, jetties, etc.

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! ❤️❤️❤️

Common Fruit Fly (Drosophila melanogaster)
Have a fab FriYay and a super weekend everyone.
Though it sounds a pest fly it is valuable in cancer research as an understanding and cure are sought.
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is used as a model organism to study disciplines ranging from fundamental genetics to the development of tissues and organs. Drosophila genome is 60% homologous to that of humans, less redundant, and about 75% of the genes responsible for human diseases have homologs in flies (Ugur et al., 2016). These features, together with a brief generation time, low maintenance costs, and the availability of powerful genetic tools, allow the fruit fly to be eligible to study complex pathways relevant in biomedical research, including cancer.
Happy Fly Day Friday!

My trip to the mountains in high Atlas region
(January – March 1989)
First of all, I ask for your understanding because of the poor image quality, but there is a simple reason: The photo was taken in 1989 and I digitized it about 10 years ago. The camera I had with me at that time was my first own one. It was a nice analog Nikon pocket camera. I wanted to mention this briefly, not that you guys think I recently bought a cheaper camera. I wish I could offer you a better image quality. (Sometimes it's good to look at pictures from a distance. In this case it is highly recommended.)
The longing and love for the mountains accompanied me from the time on when I was in my younger ages. The long-awaited trip to North Africa on a motorbike began in 1989. It was freezing cold in Switzerland when my best friend and I at that time set out for Morocco, our first destination in the north part of Africa. The way led via France, Spain and then by ferry to Morocco. We knew of the diversity of this beautiful Land, which had large desert areas, different sea coasts and high mountains. The mountains of the Atlas fascinated us most, because where can you see snow mountains and wonderful deserts at the same time? The biggest mountains of the high Atlas area are over 4000m above sea level, as high as the Alps in Switzerland. The drive there was very arduous and also very dangerous, because there were practically only bad roads (sand slopes) on this way, without any safety precautions. An accident there would have been terrible, far away from civilization. (At that time there existed neither a smartphone nor a navigation system.) We reached the highest point with our motorbikes at about 2800m above sea level. It took us a whole day to get there and back to our starting point. We only met a handful of people on the whole way. The view from up there was so impressive and beautiful and it strengthened my close connection with nature and especially with the mountain world. This photo was taken on the way to the highest point, when we drove through the last small village, or what is left of it. This trip to the biggest mountains in Morocco is deeply engraved in my memory and it still moves me today as it did then. To be dependent on one another, to go through thick and thin, to help one another, can rely one hundred percent on each other, to forego safety and comfort and to be real friends - all of this has shaped my life to this day. I am so infinitely grateful that I dared this great adventure with my best friend I ever had when I was a young man. We both came home healthy to Switzerland, crossing also Algeria and Tunisia, after thousands of kilometers by motorbikes...and life goes on...
I thought for a long time whether I should share my personal story and this picture with you or not? But I found that I should do it for all of my dear friends I got on flickr. It's a part of me, of my younger years, when I traveled the world carefree and uncomplicated. Finally, it was my wish to share this story with all of you. I was able to learn so much from it and it were my children who kept asking me what I had experienced on this trip and on others as well. Thank you for listening.
By the way: I have remained a passionate Biker to this day and I love to drive into the mountains of the Swiss Alps.
Sometimes I look back at my life and I'm seriously impressed that I'm still alive.
At the time when I set out to discover the world, this song was a great success and tells of the trip to foreign countries. I remember like it was just yesterday. I have tears in my eyes ...

This is done in solidarity with my friend Omar, speaking up for the Syrians and their terrible plight and the lack of world understanding and attention, surely if we all understood better the world would come together and react and find a solution for this horrendous problem! So I join him in trying to bring this to world attention.

It strikes me that we humans are always arriving. Whether it be a physical arrival at our favorite beach or coffee shop, or an inner arrival as we reach some new level of understanding, it seems we're always in motion toward both known and unknown destinations. Today, Marg's plan for me is to repair myself to the yard with shovel and rake in-hand. Who knows where that will eventually take me. Probably to the medicine cabinet for a dose of pain killers.

Beauty, compassion, understanding and love are my weapons of choice in this World Anti-war I. I feel that they are very powerful. And on the both sides of this war (of course you know that there, in Russia, at the other side of the war, a lot of people are fighting against war, as they could) my heart is with peaceful people. Even at the battlefields Ukrainians are fighting to banish and to take down the war.
They hate the war. They are fighting for peace. And so am I.

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?
