Jumping spiders use their legs to pounce on their prey, which is typically other insects. Amazingly, jumping spiders don't have special leg muscles, like grasshoppers, to help them leap. They propel themselves by suddenly changing the blood flow in their body. Terminix
Jumping spiders or the Salticidae are a family of spiders. As of 2019, it contained over 600 described genera and over 6000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Wikipedia

As you know by now, I love when artists use music to tell a story, weaving the music and the lyrics into a tale filled with emotion and colours. Don McLean is one of those Artists who masterfully achieve this. Vincent is an Ode to the dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890). He struggled with mental illness all through his life and died at his own hands at the age of just 37. During his life, he barely sold any of his paintings. Which makes the fact that these days they are worth millions kind of a cruel joke. Don McLean weaved numerous paintings of VanGogh into his Lyrics, which is another nice touch
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy, linen land
Now, I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
When I was a kid my sisters and I would look up to the clouds and see where our imagination would take us. Use your and see if you can see two people hugging

Roteiro Caminhos de Pedra
Idealizado pelo Eng. Tarcísio Vasco Michelon e pelo Arq. Júlio Posenato o roteiro Caminhos de Pedra visa resgatar, preservar e dinamizar a cultura que os imigrantes italianos trouxeram à serra gaúcha a partir de 1875.
O Roteiro passou a ser concebido quando da realização de um levantamento do acervo arquitetônico de todo o interior do município de Bento Gonçalves, ocorrido no ano de 1987. Constatou-se então que a Linha Palmeiro e parte da Linha Pedro Salgado, área abrangida basicamente pelo Distrito de São Pedro, composto por 7 comunidades, (São Pedro, São Miguel, Barracão, São José da Busa, Cruzeiro, Santo Antonio e Santo Antoninho) possuía o maior acervo de casas antigas, conservava sua cultura e história, tinha acesso fácil e, conseqüentemente, um grande potencial turístico, apesar da decadência e abandono por que vinha passando desde a década de 1970 com a mudança de traçado da rodovia que ligava Porto Alegre ao norte do estado.
Esse precioso acervo material, parcialmente abandonado e esquecido, exigia uma ação rápida para não ter a mesma sorte de tantas e tantas casas de pedra, madeira e alvenaria que acabaram ruindo ou sendo demolidas. Com recursos do Hotel Dall’Onder as primeiras 4 casas foram restauradas e passaram a receber visitação e outras tiveram obras emergenciais. O primeiro grupo de turistas proveniente de São Paulo, através da Operadora CVC foi recebido na Casa Merlo, Casa Bertarello, Ferraria Ferri e Cantina Strapazzon em 30 de maio de 1992.
O sucesso do novo roteiro animou tanto os idealizadores quanto a comunidade. Em 10 de julho de 1997, com assessoria do SEBRAE foi fundada a Associação Caminhos de Pedra, congregando empreendedores e simpatizantes. Montou-se então um projeto abrangente que contemplava o resgate de todo o patrimônio cultural, não só o arquitetônico, envolvendo língua, folclore, arte, habilidades manuais, etc. Este ambicioso projeto foi aprovado pelo Conselho Estadual de Cultura em 10 de agosto de 1998 passando a partir de então a captar recursos das empresas locais através da recém criada LIC (Lei de Incentivo à Cultura do Estado do RS).
Atualmente a Associação Caminhos de Pedra conta com mais de uma centena de associados e o projeto, considerado pioneiro no Brasil em termos de turismo rural e cultural, está recebendo uma visitação média anual de 60.000 turistas. O roteiro está em expansão e possui 15 pontos de Visitação (assinalados em vermelho no mapa) e 56 pontos de Observação Externa (assinalados no mapa com letra verde).
De acordo com a Lei Estadual 13.177/09, que nos declarou patrimônio histórico do RS, considera-se como área de abrangência dos Caminhos de Pedra a Linhas Palmeiro e Pedro Salgado, localizadas nos municípios de Bento Gonçalves e Farroupilha, até o limite do município de Caxias do Sul, passando por Caravaggio.
Seguem algumas informações históricas
O surgimento da Linha Palmeiro
O Presidente da Província de São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul, João Sertório, encarregou em 4 de abril de 1870 o engenheiro Major José Maria da Fontoura Palmeiro de proceder à medição e demarcação dos territórios que ele mesmo, por Ato de 24 de maio de 1870, denominou de colônias Conde D’Eu (hoje Garibaldi) e Dona Isabel (hoje Bento Gonçalves) onde mandou construir em cada uma um barracão para abrigar os colonos. Em homenagem ao seu demarcador o primeiro território demarcado na Colônia Dona Isabel passou a se chamar Linha Palmeiro.
O local que acolheu o Major Palmeiro em 1870 e posteriormente os imigrantes italianos a partir do final de 1875 é o atual bairro do Barracão, berço, portanto, da cidade de Bento Gonçalves e também porta de entrada dos Caminhos de Pedra. A Linha Palmeiro é uma das maiores linhas da colonização italiana com 200 lotes de 48,4 ha cada.
Esta Linha que, inicialmente, não passava de uma picada tortuosa no meio da mata tentando acompanhar uma linha imaginária reta que foi se desenvolvendo rapidamente pois era o único eixo de ligação entre a Colônia Dona Isabel com a Colônia Caxias. A picada foi virando estrada carroçável pelo trabalho dos próprios imigrantes que vendiam suas diárias ao governo, e posteriormente, passagem dos primeiros automóveis e caminhões.
A prosperidade da Linha Palmeiro é citada em inúmeros relatórios como os do Consul Italiano em Porto Alegre, Enrico Perrod de 1880: “Visitei uma colônia na Linha Palmeiro e encontrei na terra de um só agricultor todas as frutas da Itália: Castanhas, maçãs, pêras, laranjas, cerejas e nozes, juntamente com plantas de café, cana-de-açúcar e fumo.”(cfr. Rovílio Costa et alii, 1992, EST, As Colônias italianas Dona Isabel e Conde D’Eu, pg 21) ou do Cônsul italiano em Porto Alegre, Pascoale Corte, que aponta em seu relatório de 1884: “Atravessando um mato por um estreito caminho, chega-se, após quatro horas de viagem a cavalo, aos confins da Colônia Dona Isabel, exatamente na entrada de uma das linhas mais desmatadas e populosas: a Linha Palmeiro. Ali começa uma estrada carroçável que conduz à sede da colônia. Esta estrada é a mais pitoresca de todas.” (cfr. Rovílio Costa et alii, op. cit. pág 25).
Ao longo de todo o trecho foram rapidamente sendo construídas belas e confortáveis moradias em pedra, madeira e alvenaria, bem como variados empreendimentos comerciais como ferrarias, serrarias, moinhos, etc. Como os lotes eram grandes, normalmente eram assentadas duas famílias por lote, uma em cada extremidade.
O visitante que ingressar nos Caminhos de Pedra pelo Barracão estará, pois, utilizando a mesma porta de entrada dos primeiros imigrantes, revivendo de certa forma, as mesmas sensações dos recém-chegados, através das histórias contadas pelos seus descendentes. Não deixe de dar esse mergulho na história da imigração italiana no Rio Grande do Sul.
Barracão, Berço de Bento Gonçalves
Assim escreve em seu relatório o Agente Consular Italiano em Bento Gonçalves, Luigi Petrocchi, em dezembro de 1905: “A sede da nova Colônia Dona Isabel (hoje Bento Gonçalves), foi traçada em 1875, em um vale entre dois cursos d’água, num local baixo, próximo ao barracão dos imigrantes, e chamada então de cidade branca, devido às tendas feitas de lençóis. Por comodidade, porém, a diretoria transferiu a administração para um local elevado, chamado Cruzinha, no meio de um pinhal, a 3 Km de distância.” (cfr. Rovílio Costa et alii, op. cit. Pág. 73). O imigrante Giuseppe Dall’Acqua em seus apontamentos de viagem assim descrevem o Barracão no ano de 1878: “Depois de um percurso de uma hora e meia pelo mato virgem, por uma estrada íngreme, em degraus e barrenta, chegaram, após uma longa descida, a uma várzea perto de um rio, em cuja margem esquerda havia três ou quatro habitações rústicas,(...) e uma alta construção de um só plano e mal vedada, com longas taquaras pregadas na parede, horizontalmente, e cobertas de barro e folhas. Este lugar quase solitário e sem nome, fora destinado para a sede da Colônia Dona Isabel, mas ninguém sabia do motivo do não cumprimento da escolha da localidade para sede da futura cidade. Aquele casarão construído com barro (...) fora edificado para abrigar temporariamente os imigrantes e assim, com o tempo, tanto a localidade como o rio tomaram o nome de Barracão”. (Manuscrito de Giuseppe Dall’Acqua, 1901, in Rovílio Costa e Arlindo Battistel, 1983, Assim vivem os italianos, pág. 1172).
A partir de 1875 o Barracão começou a receber, e hospedar provisoriamente as primeiras levas de imigrantes. Ali eles recebiam seus lotes, algumas ferramentas, sementes e um pouco de alimentos. Isso, porém, só acontecia após uma longa espera que podia chegar a diversos meses. Os colonos eram cadastrados e tudo o que recebessem, inclusive alimentos, ferramentas e principalmente a terra, era-lhes lançado como dívida com o Governo Imperial que deveria ser quitada no prazo de 10 anos. Tudo foi planejado para que o local fosse a sede da colônia Dona Isabel, mas já em 1876, não se sabem bem os motivos, a sede da colônia foi transferida para onde hoje é o centro da cidade de Bento Gonçalves.
Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural do RS
Graças à restauração das casas e a visitação turística desencadeou-se nas comunidades que o compõem um movimento cultural que permitiu o surgimento de várias iniciativas que visam preservar não só o patrimônio material, mas também o imaterial. Exemplos dessa vitalidade cultural que palpita em todo o Roteiro são a preservação do dialeto “talian” (língua típica dos imigrantes do lugar), a Casa da Memória e os grupos artístico-culturais (dança italiana, flauta doce, banda musical, orquestra de câmara, coro e teatro) que se apresentam em ocasiões especiais ou por solicitação expressa nos restaurantes do Roteiro.
O fato de concentrar o maior acervo arquitetônico da imigração italiana em meio rural do país e a preocupação com a preservação do patrimônio histórico material e imaterial rendeu aos Caminhos de Pedra o qualificativo de “museu vivo”. Em 2009 por iniciativa do Dep. Estadual Jerônimo Pizzoloto Güerguen, e apoio do IPHAE (Instituto de Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico do Estado) foi declarado patrimônio histórico e cultural do RS pela Lei Estadual 13.177/09 promulgada pela então Governadora Yeda Rorato Crusius.

When I used to do concert photography more regularly, it seemed so easy for me to bike way across the city, shoot shows without payment and do this multiple times per week sacrificing sleep just to get the photos in earlier and then going to a very demanding day job. This was one such night...I believe it was a Tues. I biked in pouring rain 8 miles each way to photograph The Yeah Yeah Yeahs at The Aragon Ballroom and then biked all the way to The Empty Bottle to photograph the Norwegian band I Was a King and then came home and edited photos all night and went to work the next day. I should also mention that, on this particularly night, I vividly recall how I got THREE flat bike tires throughout the bicycling which made this almost beautiful tragic quality to the evening.
Anyway, I digress...this is some more rambling because I often get younger hipper people asking me "Oh my God! How did you get that photopass!" And then I tell them that I've invested $25,000+ of my own money which I will never recoup, sacrifice all my own sleep, time, and energy, and half the time have publicists either blank out or make me sign a photo contract and I slowly see all the envy fade from their eyes. The highs are high but the lows are way too low.

⛅️Photo Taken at Aeternus Paradisus- a tropical paradise year round! ♥⛅️ Landmark to Aeternus Paradisus
Winkworth Arboretum, near Hascombe in Surrey, is always a lovely place to visit – but in autumn it’s absolutely spectacular.
This magnificent land area hosts more than 1,000 species of tree and shrub, and covers some 95 acres (38 hectares). It’s the result of one man’s vision and passion: Dr Wilfrid Fox, one of Britain's leading dermatologist who bought the land next to his house in 1937.
This was the perfect site for him to experiment with planting styles and different tree species, and wanting to preserve his work for future generaions he donated Winkworth to the National Trust in 1952, ten years before he died.
“It now provides an excellent showcase for what Dr Fox described as ‘using plants to paint a picture’”, says the Trust. Some picture!

La revolución del 16 de julio de 1809 en La Paz sin duda un acontecimiento capital dentro de la gesta emancipatoria
hispanoamericana. La temeraria audacia de sus Jefes y sobre todo las atroces medidas de represión adoptadas
por Goyeneche repercutieron en el continente provocando reacciones en todas partes y contribuyendo a precipitar el torrente revolucionarioque pocos meses después se hizo ya
incontenible.
De la Universidad de Chuquisaca salieron la inspiración y los hombres que encabezaron esa revolución. En el presente artículo trataremos de sintetizar los aspectos más salientes de
la intervención que la Universidad de Charcas y sus doctores tuvieron en el movimiento. Desde luego, los más importantes
protagonistas de la revolución del 16 de julio fueron graduados en la Universidad de San Francisco Xavier de Chuquisaca.
. De los miembros de la Junta Tuitiva organizada inmediatamente después del movimiento, que eran
diez, casi todos egresaron de aquélla. En efecto, Juan Basilio, Catacora que inició sus estudios en el Cuzco los concluyó en Chuquisaca, donde se graduó de abogado; Melchor León
de la Barra, que era párroco, estudio en Chuquisaca y obtuvo el grado de doctor en teología, y luego en 1798, el título de abogado ante la Real Audiencia; Juan Bautista Sagárnaga,
vivió en Chuquisaca desde su infancia y después de realizar brillantes estudios se graduó como abogado en 1790; Juan de la Cruz Monje y Ortega, llegó también muy niño a Chuquisaca y estudió en la Universidad Hasta vestir la toga de abogado; José Antonio Medina, que fue considerado el oráculo de la revolución paceña, era tucumano, primo de Bernardo Monteagudo, el gran líder de la revolución del 25
de mayo de 1809, y en Chuquisaca fue graduado y dictó cátedra en la Universidad; Juan Manuel Mercado, era chuquisaqueño y graduado en la Universidad, hermano del doctor Mariano Michel.
Historia de Chuquisaca
Photographs taken may or may not have meaning but yet has meaning to the photographer. Nobody to walk in these shoes
Amsterdam's property taxes used to be based on the width of the frontage, so many houses were built tall, thin and deep. The area is very marshy, so there are no really tall buildings, not even modern office blocks, at least, not that I saw - maybe further inland. Subsidence over the centuries means that many buildings are now somewhat askew.
The canals are about 3m (10ft) deep. We were told that they contain 1m depth of mud, 1m of discarded bicycles and 1m of water.

Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees belonging to the four o' clock family, Nyctaginaceae. They are native to Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. There are between 4 and 22 species in the genus. The inflorescence consists of large colourful sepal-like bracts which surround three simple waxy flowers, gaining popularity for the plant as an ornamental. The plant is named after explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville (1729-1811), after it was documented on one of his expeditions.
The species grow 1 to 12 metres (3 to 39 ft) tall, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4–13 cm long and 2–6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colours associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes called "paper flower" because its bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.

This magnifying glass has 2 parts - a larger green less magnifying part and a smaller green higher magnification.

The "muselet" is the wire cap that holds in place the cork of sparkling wine bottles like Champagne or, in this case, Crémant from the Alsace region.
There is no way that you could put back the cork into a bottle once it has been opened. By extension, the "muselet" is therefore also a single-use object.
Asparagus has been used as a vegetable owing to its distinct flavor, and in medicine due to its diuretic properties and its purported function as an aphrodisiac. It is pictured as an offering on an Egyptian frieze dating to 3000 BC. In ancient times, it was also known in Syria and in Spain. Greeks and Romans ate it fresh when in season, and dried the vegetable for use in winter. Roman Epicureans froze its sprouts high in the Alps for the Feast of Epicurus. Emperor Augustus created the "Asparagus Fleet" for hauling the vegetable, and coined the expression "faster than cooking asparagus" for quick action.
A breed of "early-season asparagus" that can be harvested two months earlier than usual was announced by a UK grower in early 2011.
In Explore (27/04/2021)
In Germany, asparagus is grown in "tents" as you can see here near Geiselhöring.

Only a few more days until Christmas, and my break started yesterday?! I dread going back to classes, and I have four weeks off.
I could SCREAM.
As many of you may know, I live in Maryland. We are known for our Chesapeake Blue Crab Cakes. I was born and raised to catch these, and go home to clean them up to make crab cakes the next day.
It is amazing how much of a drastic change my photographing ability has become over a year, and I am excited to see what the future holds in my photography career.
Medicinal use of Meadow Crane's Bill: The plant is used as a vulnerary. The root is used in Tibetan medicine where it is said to have an acrid, sweet flavour plus a cooling potency. Analgesic, anti-inflammatory and febrifuge, it is used in the treatment of fevers from influenza, inflammation of the lungs, pain and swellings of the limbs.
Medizinische Verwendung von Wiesenkranichschnabel: Die Pflanze wird als Wundermittel verwendet. Die Wurzel wird in der tibetischen Medizin verwendet, wo sie einen scharfen, süßen Geschmack und eine kühlende Wirkung haben soll. Sie wirkt schmerzlindernd, entzündungshemmend und fiebersenkend und wird zur Behandlung von Fieber bei Grippe, Lungenentzündungen, Schmerzen und Schwellungen der Gliedmaßen eingesetzt.
Utilisation médicinale de la grue des prés : La plante est utilisée comme vulnéraire. La racine est utilisée dans la médecine tibétaine où l'on dit qu'elle a une saveur âcre et douce ainsi qu'un pouvoir rafraîchissant. Analgésique, anti-inflammatoire et fébrifuge, elle est utilisée dans le traitement des fièvres dues à la grippe, de l'inflammation des poumons, des douleurs et des gonflements des membres.
OK, this is a departure for me. I do occasional HDR photos and I enjoy them. But I rarely go for anything that is overprocessed. This photo started taking on a feeling more of a painting than a photo at some point, so I just went with it. In the end, I love it! I really like this photo. Even though its not my typical HDR style, I think it is beautiful.
