For over 4,000 years Mother Nature has thrown everything she had at this tree... Unbearable cold, blizzards, gale force winds, drought, searing heat, earthquakes, and unrepentant tourists, and The Guardian has weathered every storm, every threat, every challenge and remained standing, though it succumbed to inevitable mortality over 500 years ago.
This ancient bristlecone pine, situated with one other tree on the edge of a steep slope in the White Mountains has been the subject of countless photographs under a variety of conditions. I was here with a group for an astrophotography workshop, and although I am pleased with some of the images I captured later that night, this one is the one that stands out above all others.
During the last weekend in August, the daytime high temperatures - even at 9,000' elevation - were above 80° F, and at nearly 8 PM, still holding in the upper-60s, while Bishop and Big Pine in the Owens Valley below, roasted in the 90s and 100s. The heat of the valley combined with the cool air crossing the ridge tops above the Sierras to the west create interesting weather and clouds in the late afternoon, which seemed daunting initially, but cleared soon after sunset to allow for clear skies when it was time to capture the galactic core of the Milky Way above.

The original mill De Zwaluw was built in 1875 as a corn and pearl barley mill. Additionally , it was used as a saw mill.
The mill was listed as a Rijksmonument in 1971. In November 1972, the mill was struck by lightning and burnt down, leaving the base and saw mill standing. Restoration started in 1984 and completed in 1987.

I'm back from my Oregon trip and will try and catch up with everyone. This image was accepted into Central Coast Artists Collective juried exhibit at the Art Center Morro Bay. The show will run from May 18 to June 26. The opening reception is May 21 at the Art Center.
This hardy species of the merganser family will winter further north than any of the other members and will stay with us during the winter months as long as the water stays open. They prefer fresh water to salt water.
Alaska to Newfoundland is their breeding territory and they don't seem to have a nesting preference using anything from man-made boxes to nesting cavities to nesting on the ground.
They do tend to be one of the more social waterfowl species and can be found in huge flocks on lakes and do accept other species of diving ducks midst their own numbers.
Lots of open water is an asset to them when they go airborne as they require a running start across the top of the water for a distance. Once in the air they fly a straight line to their destination.
Females like this one make good use of their long body toting their ducklings around after they hatch.

The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster polder was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

Otrobanda (meaning ‘the other side’) is on the opposite side of St. Anna Bay. This district was developed in the 18th century. The main shopping street in Otrobanda is the Breedestraat. You can find this street between Kura Hulanda and the Riffort. Kura Hulanda is one of the best restorations of Otrobanda. An entire section of Otrobanda’s dilapidated slum was transformed into a magnificently renovated historical district, the best example of Dutch colonial architecture in the Caribbean.

Modern Nur-Sultan is really a planned city, much like other planned capitals. After it became the capital of Kazakhstan in 1997, the city changed its shape enormously. The Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa designed the master plan of the new capital. In March 2019 the name of the city was changed to Nur Sultan in honour of the first president of the new republic, of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev. Here the well known landmark, the Bayterek tower is in the image as well. The tower was designed by architect Norman Foster and is considered a symbol of post-independence Kazakhstan.

took his last drink, and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever. We shall also reflect pleasantly upon how we did the same old thing last year about this time :-)

"Chouchou is a historic location in Second Life. Each of us has visited it at least once, and it enchanted us.
At the point of arrival, water, and an endless horizon seemingly infinite surround you.
When you activate music, it’s magic. The music is original to the authors of the location, more specifically: Juliet Heberle is a vocalist, while Arabesque Choch is a composer. The original music of Chouchou on the official website of the sim: chouchou.cc/music/.
Chouchou is known for its music and for the location of water that inspired many other sites, but it is right to remember that the sim hosts two other exciting spaces in the sky, Islamey, and Memento, accessible by a teleport located at the foot of the staircase that leads to the air.
Also, the authors of the location have made artistic videos of high level, and they are visible on their website at the following link: chouchou.cc/music/, under the heading “music videos.”
Today, reading on Facebook, I learned that Chouchou is in danger of closing down.
Many people are worried about this news because Chouchou is a symbol of Second Life, one of many, of course. However, one of the most significant. I hope that the Linden Lab will accept the invitation to preserve this place that for many Second Life users is a corner of peace, harmony, and therapy to the greyness of everyday life."

She said yes!
Here you can see her displaying (on the left) while he taps the ground (road) with his beak, which she also responded in kind to moments later.
They were last sighted flying 'wing in wing' to our Lilly Pilly tree. Hopefully I will get to see the chicks in due course.

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.

Plant and they will come!
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 ...

I've been trying to get out for a little fresh air before I start work everyday but with daylight starting so much closer to work time my chances to grab a shot are getting very limited, and I probably have to accept I will soon be doing just long exposure shots.
On my brief morning jaunt routine I noticed that a local wood had become swampy in the middle and I thought had aspects that looked a bit like a mangrove swamp. On a return visit I realised that I must have had my romantic glasses on and that "the swamp" had a more sinister feel about it.
So I was excited when this morning I woke and saw the local forecast showed "FOG". Well what a load of b@ll@cks that was. Not even a thin veil of the misty stuff.! But nonetheless self-discipline dictated I must head out for a short walk in the gloom. And stopped briefly to grab a few shots in the swampy bit in the semi-dark. But came away very unimpressed with my results. And now I'm not sure proper fog will make it any better
or not! lol! see what a little water in a spritzer bottle can do? well, i rarely get up that early to see morning dew, so i thought why not make it myself?
sorry for being late in catching up my friends ill see you really soon!!!

This species which is often referred to as "Fish Ducks" is the most widespread and abundant merganser in North America. Being one of the more social waterfowl species they do accept other species of diving ducks within their own flocks.
Their breeding territory ranges from Alaska to Newfoundland where they can be found using man-made nesting boxes or nest on the ground. A nest can be found to contain a clutch of anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs. They tend to be a quiet breed unless disturbed or during their courtship period.
This hen is getting lots of attention from 4 drakes that are certainly letting her know their intentions with their erect tails.

Re-posting as Flickr has been having problems. They say that these should be posting okay now.
Believe it or not, it was a glorious day on Mull when I found this family. Searching up and down the loch in the sun but no sign of any otters. Thought I would search in the only shaded part and bingo.
In order not to spook them, it took over an hour to get in position for them to accept me. Thought I had blown it at one stage as I slipped on one of the boulders and I knew I would be heard. Think they just looked at me and probably thought - it's only that idiot again and they carried on playing. I just love otters and cannot spend enough time with them.
Many thanks as alway for your comments and faves. Much appreciated.
