Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) in profile close-up. The hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) is an Old World vulture. It is the only member of the genus Necrosyrtes and is native to sub-Saharan Africa. It typically scavenges on carcasses. Although this is a common species, numbers of these birds are decreasing rapidly. Threats include poisoning, hunting and loss of habitat, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "critically endangered". It is a small species compared to most vultures.

These lovely tulips in our garden couldn't wait to bask in the sun's rays!
The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa, of which around 75 wild species are currently accepted and which belongs to the family Liliaceae.
The genus's native range extends west to the Iberian Peninsula, through North Africa to Greece, the Balkans, Turkey, throughout the Levant (Syria, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan) and Iran, North to Ukraine, southern Siberia and Mongolia, and east to the Northwest of China. The tulip's centre of diversity is in the Pamir, Hindu Kush, and Tien Shan mountains. It is a typical element of steppe and winter-rain Mediterranean vegetation. A number of species and many hybrid cultivars are grown in gardens, as potted plants, or as cut flowers.
Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches (10 cm) and 28 inches (71 cm) high. The tulip's large flowers usually bloom on scapes with leaves in a rosette at ground level and a single flowering stalk arising from amongst the leaves.Tulip stems have few leaves. Larger species tend to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have two to six leaves, some species up to 12. The tulip's leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and the leaves are alternately arranged on the stem; these fleshy blades are often bluish green in color. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem, but a few species bear multiple flowers on their scapes (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica). The generally cup or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals, which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. These six tepals are often marked on the interior surface near the bases with darker colorings. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue (several tulips with "blue" in the name have a faint violet hue).
The flowers have six distinct, basifixed stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals. Each stigma has three distinct lobes, and the ovaries are superior, with three chambers. The tulip's seed is a capsule with a leathery covering and an ellipsoid to globe shape. Each capsule contains numerous flat, disc-shaped seeds in two rows per chamber. These light to dark brown seeds have very thin seed coats and endosperm that does not normally fill the entire seed.
Etymology
The word tulip, first mentioned in western Europe in or around 1554 and seemingly derived from the "Turkish Letters" of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, first appeared in English as tulipa or tulipant, entering the language by way of French: tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend ("muslin" or "gauze"), and may be ultimately derived from the Persian: دلبند delband ("Turban"), this name being applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban. This may have been due to a translation error in early times, when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.
Tulips are called laleh (from Persian لاله, lâleh) in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and Bulgarian. In Arabic letters, "laleh" is written with the same letters as Allah, which is why the flower became a holy symbol. It was also associated with the House of Osman, resulting in tulips being widely used in decorative motifs on tiles, mosques, fabrics, crockery, etc. in the Ottoman Empire
Cultivation
Tulip cultivars have usually several species in their direct background, but most have been derived from Tulipa suaveolens, often erroneously listed as Tulipa schrenkii. Tulipa gesneriana is in itself an early hybrid of complex origin and is probably not the same taxon as was described by Conrad Gesner in the 16th century.
Tulips are indigenous to mountainous areas with temperate climates and need a period of cool dormancy, known as vernalization. They thrive in climates with long, cool springs and dry summers. Tulip bulbs imported to warm-winter areas of are often planted in autumn to be treated as annuals.
Tulip bulbs are typically planted around late summer and fall, in well-drained soils, normally from 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) deep, depending on the type. Species tulips are normally planted deeper.
Propagation
Tulips can be propagated through bulb offsets, seeds or micropropagation. Offsets and tissue culture methods are means of asexual propagation for producing genetic clones of the parent plant, which maintains cultivar genetic integrity. Seeds are most often used to propagate species and subspecies or to create new hybrids. Many tulip species can cross-pollinate with each other, and when wild tulip populations overlap geographically with other tulip species or subspecies, they often hybridize and create mixed populations. Most commercial tulip cultivars are complex hybrids, and often sterile.
Offsets require a year or more of growth before plants are large enough to flower. Tulips grown from seeds often need five to eight years before plants are of flowering size. Commercial growers usually harvest the tulip bulbs in late summer and grade them into sizes; bulbs large enough to flower are sorted and sold, while smaller bulbs are sorted into sizes and replanted for sale in the future. The Netherlands are the world's main producer of commercial tulip plants, producing as many as 3 billion bulbs annually, the majority for export.

Some women told me I had to take a bath at the holy well. I said I had no towel to dry me, but they convinced me and said it was better and that you shouldn't dry with a towel.
Waaaahhh, I took a bath, but it was very cold !

On the far horizon, the setting sun.
Last beams of golden light search their way through the open window. A murmuring brook flows to the song of the birds outside. Wind gently brushes the cherry trees and carries the scent of flowers inside the quiet room. With a deep sigh he lifts his gaze from his graphic tablet, eying his work in a critical manner. Maybe it was time for a break? He turns towards u10. They've been quietly working side by side. It was a comfortable silence between them, that he rarely felt with others. A smile whisks over his face as he watches him.
A moment passes, before he gets up and disappears into the kitchen, only to return with a red fox cup, filled with fruit vinegar. He takes a seat on the edge of u10's pillow, gently he leaning onto him.
"Here.", he almost whispers, while passing the cup to him.
"Asahi-kun." A genuine smile spreads across u10's lips.
"Thank you.", he says accepting the cup. "We should take a break and stretch."
Asahi chuckles and thoughtfully he taps his chin with his index finger. "How about... would you like to watch a movie?"
"Hai!", u10 replies with a hearty laughter.

*** Walking alone takes courage
For it feels safer having people around
It feels nicer being surrounded by a friendly crowd, being popular.
Most of us want to be loved
Some work hard on being hated.
But walking your own path
Means burning your boats, your bridges
Sailing unsafe waters.
Independence is one high form of courage
Difference is one high form of strength.
*** Dedicated to those who are different,
do not obey,
do not conform,
do not accept,
do not bend,
do not break,
do not kneel,
do not follow,
do not capitulate,
declare YOUR independence, before it is taken from you.

My last minute entry to this week's Mastermind contest
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

All HUMAN-BEINGS are not same.
All RELATIONSHIPS are not same.
Let’s not find SIMILARITIES.
Let’s not copy one another.
Accept our UNIQUENESS.

Some say that Nature adapts to cohabitation with our human species. We instead, should realize that We are the ones who have to react, adapt and accept. Nature has the real power and providence over the earth, sky and earth. And water always wins.

This is just a record shot (I'd have liked to have gotten more of the wing in focus), as she wasn't for staying still, of the first common blue butterfly to visit my garden last year, after I planted bird's foot trefoil for my 'resident' leafcutter bees, and to attract common blue butterflies.
I was thrilled to watch her lay lots of eggs, which you can see her doing in this photo, all over the bird's foot trefoil ... and what amazing little structures the eggs are too---that's tomorrow's upload!
If flowers had personalities, how would you describe how they feel? For some reason this one seems kind of "accepting". Like here I am, a weed by the side of the road, but I'm happy and that's enough for me I accept my lot in life.
Speaking of lots, did you know Mariah Carey's hubby gave her title deeds for a lot of land as a present last Christmas? When she opened it she said ...... I don't want a lot for Christmas ...

“Clown” is a piece of digital art created using three iterations of the Double Exposure filter in Nik Analog Efex Pro. It was just a “muck around” image I used to create diagrams/screenshots for the third and final in a series of articles I’m writing on “Multiple Exposures in Photoshop” for the Artists Down Under magazine, but after some applications of textures and some colour grading I liked it enough to post. The original photo is from Midjourney. The three articles will be in the May, June and July issues of the magazine.
We left Melbourne last night for a couple of weeks touring around Tasmania, I will try to stay up to date on Flickr but please accept my apologies if I’m a bit slower than usual, and there’s perhaps a few less comments.

We often hear the “Savior” characteristics of God stressed – His love, mercy, goodness and so on – but the matter of His lordship is absent. The distortion is particularly clear in evangelism. In modern practice the call to repentance is usually called an “invitation,” which one can obviously accept or refuse. It is offered politely. Seldom do we hear presented God’s sovereign demand to repent or His demand for total submission to the authority of His appointed king, Christ Jesus. - Alistar Begg
When we first laid eyes on our puppy (a little over a year before this image of her was taken), the color told us immediately that her name must be Sedona. So, when we had a chance to take her there, of course she had to have multiple photo shoots in the region. This is one of the images from along the Oak Creek, after enduring a long 4x4 adventure that she didn't particularly enjoy, she was pleased to relax and take in the view from a stable seated position.
Congrats on Explore!

The Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht was commissioned by Ms Truus Schröder-Schräder, designed by the architect Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, and built in 1924. This small family house, with its interior, the flexible spatial arrangement, and the visual and formal qualities, was a manifesto of the ideals of the De Stijl group of artists and architects in the Netherlands in the 1920s, and has since been considered one of the icons of the Modern Movement in architecture.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to watch, leave a comment and keep smiling.
This is absolutely true and possibly many will believe it is False and/or fanciful and because I needed it to be true….no matter because I know what I believe….
Many will know that my late husband Brendan was Irish…sadly he died aged 65 in 2012
4 years later I met Jonathan and we became friends and he walked his dog with myself and my dog Beau and Beau’s sibling Phoebe the pet belonged to my niece Mandy and we walked together for a year and a half then became a couple and married in 2017…We went to the Lincoln Christmas Market together in 2018 but I was desperately uncomfortable but I had gone every year with my soulmate husband Brendan. I wandered miserably from stall to stall till we came across a lady selling these peg doll Christmas tree fairy’s and I picked a beautiful one for my sister with blonde hair and a candy cane in her hand. I didn’t intend buying one for myself. However I stayed at the stall and couldn’t make myself leave - eventually telling the stall holder that I was drawn to the green fairy wearing a top hat hanging just above my head. “Oh she replied, that one’s an Irish fairy and if you look she’s holding a bunch of shamrock in her hands “
The feeling the went over and through my body can’t be imagined I’m sure. I just knew it was Brendan’s way of telling me everything was fine and I could go around the Christmas market with his blessing. I was and still am elated. This shot actually a blend of three shots and is of the fairy that still hangs in our bedroom. The the tiny seed head is balanced on a vase and I have a piece of original copper artwork and the orange and turquoise come through off that. How the copper settled so beautifully in the seed head remains a mystery. All shots were taken by my Nikon d850 and the blend and crop plus border done in photoshop…..now a tip for you. I took a shot minus the back border and had a free print photo that actually cost a little more because I had it upgraded to acrylic…they only expect smartphone shots so I took a photo of it and downloaded it as a screenshot and sent it to my mailbox and it was readily accepted and came back looking perfect 12 inch x 12 inch and is above a small oak table in my front room….Jonathan thinks it’s beautiful and I love it and feel comforted by it every day 😊
Btw….I have printed this myself too because a few people I know love it and fyi it print's off with these exact colours…been done over a year and never loses any vibrancy :)
