Not sure how a catfish head ended up in the water. Perhaps an Osprey dropped it. The Tern picked it and carried it for about 50 yards before deciding the head was too big to swallow, and dropped it.

“Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.”

We were overly ambitious in planting a huge garden this year, especially with near perfect summer weather, so rather than weed the melon patch we planted buckwheat to keep the weeds down. . . not knowing every deer for miles around would be drawn for the seeds. . .they also cropped Lynn's fall greens and beets. . .

With everything she does she melts your heart.
She is sweet and secretive,
and the next moment luring and wanton,
then she is funny, playful, spontaneous
and from one breath to another she gets sad
and concerned, or exhausted and worried.
Sometimes she sighs and moans at once,
smirks, jumps, and then she squirms,
pulls and pushes your buttons.
With her you never know what happens next.
She is unpredictable, moody, ambitious and curious, adventurous, lascivious, innocuous, adorable aggressive and sullen silent from here and there.
And every day a new shade of her personality unfolds in front of your
loving eyes and with every day more you fear even an infinitude of time would be too short to see everything from her, every idea, desire, every thought and mood, and you wish the day would have many more hours, and every year many more days to be able to love her to the fullest extent possible, for every part of her deserves at least to be fully loved once all alone.

ambitious: having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

Way back in Indonesia's history, places like this had a spiritual - and practical - significance for Java's would-be rulers. Many ambitious young princes and noblemen would come in search of 'kasekten' - a sacred energy that could win them ascendency to positions of power, realised through meditation in holy or historic places. Known as "tapa", this mystic asceticism involved meditating in the icy water of mountain streams, hanging upside-down from the branches of banyan trees, or going wild in the jungles of Java for weeks at a time. Senopati - the famous founder of Java's Mataram kingdom - was thought to have earned his prestige through pilgrimage to places such as this, in the misty outer reaches of Surakarta.
That tree that everyone takes a photo of... lots of people about, so I had to bide my time.. decide the youngster in shot helped for scale.
Brimham Rocks.
I traveled Canada extensively in the early 1990s before the shortline movement from the US spilled over to north of the border. So in the later years of the decade it was fun to go back and shoot some of the former CN and CP lines with new operators
In 1997 shortline holding company OmniTrax made a splash into Canada by operating some former CN track in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. These were fairly large operations that included the over 600 mile long line to Hudson Bay, and a 100 mile line from near Saskatoon to Prince Albert. Making things interesting was the fact they acquired 20 CN MLW M420Ws and the six BRC C-424s. In addition a former INCO RS11 and three BCR M420 B-units along with some interesting EMD Geeps. They also announced some nice paint schemes along with logos based on local interests.
But like most things OmniTRAX this was too ambitious. Not much happened in the way of paint. And most of the ALCos and MLWs quickly fell into disrepair.
I did manage one chase on the Carlton Trail of their daily Prince Albert to Saskatoon freight on the Warman Sub. Here a former CN M420W leads a BC Rail M420B and an ex-Southern Pacific GP9.
This fir tree seems to be managing well even though it's growing from deep in the Trout Creek Canyon.
Plague Column, Vienna
The Holy Trinity column is located on the Graben, a street in the inner city of Vienna, Austria. Erected after the Great Plague epidemic in 1679, the Baroque memorial is one of the city's best-known and most prominent sculptural artworks. Christine M. Boeckl, author of Images of Plague and Pestilence, calls it "one of the most ambitious and innovative sculptural ensembles created anywhere in Europe in the post-Bernini era."
1937 Packard, Custom coachbuilt by Rollston
Rollston Company
Harry Lonschein (1886-1977), an ambitious 16-year-old Romanian immigrant, found employment at Brewster & Co, one of the country’s oldest carriage makers in 1903. At that time Brewster was making the transition from one of the country’s oldest carriage makers to one of its first automobile body builders. In addition to building their own Knight sleeve-valve-engined car starting in 1915, Brewster was the NY agent for Delaunay-Belleville and later Rolls-Royce. During his employment there, Lonschein gained a lot of experience building high class enclosed bodies on the world’s finest chassis. At about the same time that Rolls-Royce opened their Springfield, Massachusetts assembly plant in 1921, Harry, along with a couple of partners, Sam Blotkin and Julius Veghso (1874-1964) formed the Rollston Company and moved into a building located on West 47th Street. They paid homage to their favorite chassis by naming the firm after it, and set out make the highest quality bodies possible. Veghso, a graduate of Andrew F. Johnson’s carriage drafting course, and a very experienced coachbuilder had founded the Perfect Body Co., an early coachbuilder who built bodies for Singer and other luxury chassis. Lonschein served as president, Blotkin, its secretary-treasurer, and Veghso the firm’s designer, draftsman and general superintendent of the factory.
Rollston’s bodies were acknowledged as the strongest of the classic-era and like the work of their favorite chassis, were over-engineered in the finest carriage-building tradition, using only the finest materials and castings. Their fine work attracted the attention of Grover C. Parvis, the Custom Body Manager of Packard's New York dealership.
Packard would become their best customer, and over the next 20 years, the vast majority of the 700 bodies built by the firm would appear on Packard chassis.

Ambition - a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.
The Italian planners had in mind the ambitious example of the Tennessee Valley Authority, which had resettled thousands of Appalachian families. An American sociologist, Friedrich Friedmann, led a team of researchers—including a historian, a doctor, a geographer, and a psychologist—who assessed conditions in the Sassi. After architects devised several potential resettlement schemes, Friedmann’s team asked the peasants which design they thought was best.
In the new rural development of La Martella, four miles west of the Sassi, the architect Ludovico Quaroni attempted to re-create the open-air vicinati that the Materans had used as their plazas and drawing rooms. Each resettled family was given a house with an adjoining barn for animals; the bedroom windows looked out on the stables, so that residents could keep an eye on the beasts at night, as they had in the Sassi. The first families were moved to La Martella in 1954. The Giornale del Mezzogiorno declared that Materans had travelled “from the darkness of the Sassi to cottages in the green countryside!” Italian newspapers continued to support the cause, and the government began encouraging residents whose caves had originally been thought salvageable to move.
This serene lake has a story to tell. I’ve been here before, but my last visit was a race against time—just an hour between moonset and sunrise to capture a quick panorama.
This time, I aimed for something more ambitious: a larger panorama showcasing the lake's beauty. Unfortunately, the session was cut short by some unexpected late-night chaos (think burning rubber, booze, and dodgy behavior). Not exactly the vibes you'd hope for in a quiet spot like this. 😅
The Drakesbrook Weir plays a vital role in the area, collecting overflow from Waroona Dam for farmers to use for livestock and crops. By day, it’s a popular picnic and swimming spot, but at night, it’s usually still and empty—well, most of the time.
This 12-panel panorama (crafted from 36 images, 24 of them stacked) captures the lake’s reflections as the summer Milky Way rises above. High clouds and city light pollution softened the northern sky, but the magic of the view still shines through. ✨

This Grey heron (Ardea cinerea) kept on picking up, dropping and picking up again this very long branch. Obviously thinking it might make good nesting material. Not sure if it is a reed or a bramble.
Up date - I have been reliably informed by my botanist sister-in-law that "has a piece of stem from something like hedge parsley or hogweed in its beak. You can see the branching near the top and the characteristic ribbed nodes"
A pied-billed grebe displays its catch - a pond bluegill - while swimming away from the other grebes.
Edited book cover, Whale by Cheon Myeong-Kwan.
It follows the lives of three mythical characters: an extremely ambitious woman who has been chasing an indescribable thrill ever since she first saw a whale crest in the ocean; her mute daughter, who communicates with elephants; and a one-eyed woman who controls honeybees with a whistle.

Described as "one of the most ambitious parish churches in Somerset", the present Church of St John the Baptist in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, dates from the 15th century.
Recent excavations in the chancel, together with others in the 19th Century in the nave, revealed early foundations. These indicate a large central tower that possibly dated from C.950.
At the beginning of the 15th Century the church had suffered some catastrophe such as the collapse of the central tower. A great deal of re-roofing and repair was done in 1404, and all through the century rebuilding and refurnishing went on. Sometime during this century further damage was caused by the collapse of several pinnacles, whether from the old or new tower is uncertain, and the nave roof had to be practically rebuilt. The west tower is first mentioned in 1484. By the end of the century the church had assumed the appearance which it has today.
The tower rises to a height of 134½ feet, and is the second tallest parish church tower in Somerset.
By contrast:
Glastonbury a little market town with a population of 8,000 become, what is considered to be, the Pagan centre of England? Glastonbury’s fame is twofold. Firstly, it’s known as the Pagan equivalent of Mecca, somewhat popular with not only British Pagan visitors, but also with members from esoteric communities from all over the world. The town regularly sees groups of Spanish and Mexican Witches, Druids from New Zealand and Italy, Heathens from Germany and Russia, and all manner of Pagans from the States and Canada.

Excerpt from www.blogto.com/city/2024/05/owl-coming-torontos-waterfron...:
A rerouted Don River will soon become the jewel in the crown of Toronto's ambitious Port Lands Flood Protection Project, one that will be lined by several new inviting parks and public spaces featuring some pretty bold designs.
One new park set to open along the river's re-naturalized mouth in 2025 will be home to an enormous two-storey owl-shaped structure that you can venture inside of.
The Snowy Owl installation is just one of a handful of animal-shaped structures that will grace this public space on the north side of the new river valley.
The Snowy Owl will mark the first permanent structure added as part of the Port Lands revitalization when it is installed next year at the western edge of Villiers Island.
While designed as a play structure, the Snowy Owl will be accessible to both kids and adults.
It includes a stage built into its belly, an upper-level viewing area, and is surrounded by seating designed to visually read as the owl's nest. The structure includes features like bells, drums, and talk tubes that will foster impromptu performances in the park.
The owl is just one of many new placemaking features that will draw visitors into the former industrial lands, helping to animate this pocket of the city for an exciting new future.
The owl structure is planned to open in summer 2025.
Ambitious kayaker sets out on a windy day for a little sea kayaking near Victoria BC Canada. A very important rule in sea kayaking is to have the latest marine weather forecast so you can avoid problems with changes in the weather. Too many times in our local waters I have seen kayakers stranded on islands or worse yet flipped over in heavy sea's all because they were inexperienced and went out in the wrong weather conditions. It can be a life or death situation.
Before I give the credits to the developer let me first apologize to those who have followed me up to this point. my activity in the last 6 months has been minimal due to a horrible laptop. the other day I fixed that in buying myself a new computer, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to take more ambitious photography than ever. my inactivity got me unfollowed by countless members, and banned from multiple groups, so you can imagine I wont be doing that again :)
This lovely landscape was on my list for some time, I had seen it briefly on my old computer but there was no hope of capturing it before. not quite the WL I was looking for, but all my choice WL's are saved on my other computer. (side not if anyone knows how to convert a WL to file and transfer it, paint me interested and in turn, my windlights would be up for grabs to anyone interested.) I'll certainly have to be back or to one of their many other, equally beautiful sims when I get my WL's sorted.

This is Havana's most ambitious and grandiose building with construction starting in 1926 that took 5,000 workers 3 years, 2 months and 20 days to complete.
The design of the building is similar to the Capital Building in Washington, D.C but was actually modeled after the Pantheon in Paris.
It was formerly the seat of the Cuban Congress and then from 1959-2013 it was home to the Cuban Academy of Sciences and the National Library of Science and Technology.
Highway distances between Havana and all sites in Cuba are calculated from the floor at the centre of the dome.
Restoration was to be completed in 2018 and then to be reopened as the home of Cuba's National Assembly.
