Thank you to Isis, Ana and Desiree for their contribution.
More.....actually much more here....you'll need a cup of tea in hand my dears ; )
As a final slide in my Flickr stats analysis, here are the things that I have found that drive high view counts:
Explore can drive really high counts, especially getting in the top 10.
The Flickr Blog galleries also get tons of views. I like getting in these galleries because there is a person curating the gallery. And the images follow a theme. I think these Flickr blog galleries are my favorite feature for browsing new photos. I also often post my photos in the comments section of galleries when I like the theme.
Search terms can drive views, but the only one that has gotten a really high count is World War II.
Finally, being used to illustrate blogs is always fun. I use the Common Attribution license and that makes it easy for blogs and news sites to use my photos. I have found some really interesting blogs by seeing them in my stats referral section. My most popular blog photo is the Drone and Moon photo. Drones with cameras have been very topical over the last year. Also my photo of the Crooked House on the beach gets used in environmental blogs. There have been others used along the way too.
I hope you enjoyed my Flickr analysis. This is the last of the PowerPoint slides, at least until next time. Back to the fun stuff.

Hydroxyapophyllite-(K) (detail). The mineral is a hydrous potassium calcium silicate hydroxide. It is the end member of a series with the much more common fluorapophyllite-(K). Structurally, it appears identical to fluorapophyllite-(K) and can only be identified with certainty by chemical analysis to confirm the absence of fluorine. Hydroxyapophyllite-(K) lacks anything more than a trace amount of fluorine. Wessels Mine. Kalahari Manganese Field. Hotazel, Northern Sape, South Africa.

The wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. More than thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, including the dog and dingo, though gray wolves, as popularly understood, only comprise naturally-occurring wild subspecies. The wolf is the largest extant member of the family Canidae, and is further distinguished from other Canis species by its less pointed ears and muzzle, as well as a shorter torso and a longer tail. The wolf is nonetheless related closely enough to smaller Canis species, such as the coyote and the golden jackal, to produce fertile hybrids with them. The wolf's fur is usually mottled white, brown, gray, and black, although subspecies in the arctic region may be nearly all white.
Of all members of the genus Canis, the wolf is most specialized for cooperative game hunting as demonstrated by its physical adaptations to tackling large prey, its more social nature, and its highly advanced expressive behaviour, including individual or group howling. It travels in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair accompanied by their offspring. Offspring may leave to form their own packs on the onset of sexual maturity and in response to competition for food within the pack. Wolves are also territorial, and fights over territory are among the principal causes of mortality. The wolf is mainly a carnivore and feeds on large wild hooved mammals as well as smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage. Single wolves or mated pairs typically have higher success rates in hunting than do large packs. Pathogens and parasites, notably the rabies virus, may infect wolves.
The global wild wolf population was estimated to be 300,000 in 2003 and is considered to be of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Wolves have a long history of interactions with humans, having been despised and hunted in most pastoral communities because of their attacks on livestock, while conversely being respected in some agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies. Although the fear of wolves exists in many human societies, the majority of recorded attacks on people have been attributed to animals suffering from rabies. Wolf attacks on humans are rare because wolves are relatively few, live away from people, and have developed a fear of humans because of their experiences with hunters, farmers, ranchers, and shepherds.
The English "wolf" stems from the Old English wulf, which is itself thought to be derived from the Proto-Germanic *wulfaz. The Proto-Indo-European root *wĺ̥kʷos may also be the source of the Latin word for the animal lupus (*lúkʷos). The name "gray wolf" refers to the grayish colour of the species.
Since pre-Christian times, Germanic peoples such as the Anglo-Saxons took on wulf as a prefix or suffix in their names. Examples include Wulfhere ("Wolf Army"), Cynewulf ("Royal Wolf"), Cēnwulf ("Bold Wolf"), Wulfheard ("Wolf-hard"), Earnwulf ("Eagle Wolf"), Wulfstān ("Wolf Stone") Æðelwulf ("Noble Wolf"), Wolfhroc ("Wolf-Frock"), Wolfhetan ("Wolf Hide"), Scrutolf ("Garb Wolf"), Wolfgang ("Wolf Gait") and Wolfdregil ("Wolf Runner")
It is widely agreed that the evolutionary lineage of the grey wolf can be traced back 2 million years to the Early Pleistocene species Canis etruscus, and its successor the Middle Pleistocene Canis mosbachensis. The grey wolf Canis lupus is a highly adaptable species that is able to exist in a range of environments and which possesses a wide distribution across the Holarctic. Studies of modern grey wolves have identified distinct sub-populations that live in close proximity to each other. This variation in sub-populations is closely linked to differences in habitat – precipitation, temperature, vegetation, and prey specialization – which affect cranio-dental plasticity.
The earliest specimens of the modern grey wolf date to around 400,000 years ago, or possibly earlier to 1 million years ago. Most modern wolves share most of their common ancestry within the last 25-23,000 years from earlier Siberian wolf populations. While some sources have suggested that this the result of a population bottleneck, others suggest that this is a normal consequence of gene flow homogenising wolf genomes across their range.
The fossil record for ancient vertebrates is composed of rarely occurring fragments from which it is often impossible to obtain genetic material. Researchers are limited to morphologic analysis but it is difficult to estimate the intra-species and inter-species variations and relationships that existed between specimens across time and place. Some observations are debated by researchers who do not always agree, and hypotheses that are supported by some authors are challenged by others.
The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event occurred 66 million years ago and brought an end to the non-avian dinosaurs and the appearance of the first carnivorans. The name carnivoran is given to a member of the order Carnivora. Carnivorans possess a common arrangement of teeth called carnassials, in which the first lower molar and the last upper premolar possess blade-like enamel crowns that act similar to a pair of shears for cutting meat. This dental arrangement has been modified by adaptation over the past 60 million years for diets composed of meat, for crushing vegetation, or for the loss of the carnassial function altogether as in seals, sea lions, and walruses. Today, not all carnivorans are carnivores, such as the insect-eating aardwolf.
The carnivoran ancestors of the dog-like caniforms and the cat-like feliforms began their separate evolutionary paths just after the end of the dinosaurs. The first members of the dog family Canidae appeared 40 million years ago, of which only its subfamily the Caninae survives today in the form of the wolf-like and fox-like canines. The caniforms included the fox-like genus Leptocyon whose various species existed from 34 million YBP before branching 11.9 million YBP into Vulpes (foxes) and Canini (canines). The jackal-sized Eucyon existed in North America from 10 million YBP and by the Early Pliocene about 6–5 million YBP the coyote-like Eucyon davisi invaded Eurasia. In North America it gave rise to early Canis which first appeared in the Miocene (6 million YBP) in south-western US and Mexico. By 5 million YBP the larger Canis lepophagus appeared in the same region.
The canids that had immigrated from North America to Eurasia – Eucyon, Vulpes, and Nyctereutes – were small to medium-sized predators during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene but they were not the top predators. The position of the canids would change with the arrival of Canis to become a dominant predator across the Holarctic. The wolf-sized C. chihliensis appeared in northern China in the Mid-Pliocene around 4–3 million YBP. The large wolf-sized Canis appeared in the Middle Pliocene about 3 million years ago in the Yushe Basin, Shanxi Province, China. By 2.5 million years ago its range included the Nihewan Basin in Yangyuan County, Hebei, China and Kuruksay, Tadzhikistan. This was followed by an explosion of Canis evolution across Eurasia in the Early Pleistocene around 1.8 million YBP in what is commonly referred to as the wolf event. It is associated with the formation of the mammoth steppe and continental glaciation. Canis spread to Europe in the forms of C. arnensis, C. etruscus, and C. falconeri. Other studies state that the oldest Canis remains that have been found in Europe were from France and dated to 3.1 million YBP, followed by Canis cf. etruscus (where cf. in Latin means confer, uncertain) from Italy dated to 2.2 million YBP.
The fossil record is incomplete but it is likely that wolves arose from a population of small, early canids. Morphological evidence and genetic evidence both suggest that wolves evolved during the Pliocene and Early Pleistocene eras from the same lineage that also led to the coyote, with fossil specimens indicating that the coyote and the wolf diverged from a common ancestor 1.5 million years ago. The ancestor of the jackal and the other extant members of the genus Canis had split from the lineage before this time.
After this separation from a common ancestor the species that were believed to be involved in the further evolution of the wolf and coyote – and the beliefs of some paleontologists – diverged. A number of researchers believed that the lines of C. priscolatrans, C. etruscus, C. rufus, C. lycaon, and C. lupus were components involved in some way that lead to the modern wolf and coyote.
M6
I received 42 frames from my lab from my last roll with M6. The first frame on top left hand is considered unusable. Next was the one at the bottom left hand corner that I shot to kill off the counter. I think it looks good with some cropping on the right.
IMHO, 41 usable frames from a roll of 36 exposures film is a good return from my experience in shooting film. I think M6 has thin spacings between negatives and I managed my personal record of 41 frames from 36 exposures negative.

i've always loved drawing trees. When i was a teenager i used to sit in various parks in Grand Haven, Michigan, and draw the twist of branches and the wrinkles of bark. The texture and the endless variety amazes me still.
These trees were inspired by an analysis of my handwriting, done when i was also a teen. It was a very accurate analysis, pointing out the exact age i was when my parents divorced and which parent i leaned to most at varying times in my life. i still have a cassette tape of the analysis somewhere, but i no longer have a tape player.
At my first show, the Around the Coyote Festival in September of 2005, this was the first piece of art i ever sold. Jon Johnson took it from me and hung it expertly in his home.

During the last days I went through all the photos I took during the last year and chose a few favourites. Based on these I analysed a bit, what kind of pictures I made and thought about that might change during 2025.

Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world[citation needed]. And is classified as Britain's only desert by the met office. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. After unsuccessful attempts to reintroduce the New Zealand bees at Dungeness in 2009-2010, the RSPB teamed up with the Swedish government in a second attempt and introduced 51 of them in 2012 and 49 in 2013 to the Dungeness Reserve. This will be continued each year, with RSPB staff conducting analysis of breeding to ensure a successful integration.[1]
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.

The quantity and quality of throughfall and soil leachate were measured 18th May 2009 in a Larch and Pine combined with deciduous stand of different ages situated in Glendalough, County Wicklow.
Soil leachate was collected using an aluminium sieve and an upside-down umbrella. The umbrella held upside-down for the purposes of this survey may include some aberrational results due to uncontrolled precipitation and also some sweat in there.
Free precipitation pH varied from 0 .01 to 4,997,236,783,044,305,000, plus or minus an inch or two, standard deviation was acceptable at the normal deviation average. The following tone is a reference tone recorded at our operating level.
Throughfall was more acidic/alkinine than a freefall rather than a restricted i.e. umbrella-less precipitation. The closed canopy layer was quite open considering how closed it was, or could have been given different data, on another day, in another world.
We intercepted about 17% of the the free precipitation. The canopy acted as a blasted interference sink for small amounts of subject matter, and as a source for Mn, K, Mg and Ca. The quality of the throughfall and soil leachate varied according to the attention span, but was considerably dense overall.
The hydrogen ion input into the soil was greatest at soil level. The major part of the nitrogen load was deposited on the heads of the testers, necessitating tonsorial and sartorial adjustments.
Part of the spring and summer nitrate load was leached, despite adverse warnings. However, during lunchtime all the nitrogen was efficiently taken up and immobilized.
Basic indications of K, Ca and Mg, as well as Mn, Fe and Al, were ingested. Manganese was refused, especially at last orders. The output of magnesium in the urine was greater than its input as deposition.
The output of K and Ca from the ice and lemon, (0-15 mm) was also greater than their input as deposition, but a major part of these nutrients were subsumed as stony deposits in various internal organs. Probability of litigation is 49%.
Mineral analysis breakdown, in total as dissolved liquids:
K -as a trial subject, K was eliminated due to hidden rules
Mg -not as swift as previoulsy measured, got stuck in the mud
Na -eight consecutive repetitions failed to register any trace, hey hey kiss it goodbye
SO4 -Reisdue of SO-blue was detected, also SO-Besso, further analysis is indicated by a reading of SO 4 - Dynamo Kiev nil
CaCa -All up in the air, possibility of MCity
CoCo3 and CoCo4 - Masked, but recognizable, masqueading as original CoCo
Cl -Two number ones and a number two
JvH -Stands up well, continuous readings show a softening effect on tungsten carbide, abrasive and corrosive, repeat contact causes massive nerve dysfunction.
The analysis by electron microscopy is a very important tool for some diseases of difficult diagnosis. The alveolar soft part sarcoma is a rare disease, but diagnosis is difficult by traditional techniques. For that, in many cases the Transmision Electron microscopy is a ideal tool to stablish the precise diagnostic. In this micrograph we can observe polygonal crystal structures localized into cytoplasm of cells obtained of alveolar sarcoma. It is inevitable to go with view the forms linear perfectly ordered comprising these crystals.

On June 29, 2011, ICESCAPE chief scientist Kevin Arrigo made the first analysis of chlorophyll pigment of the 2011 campaign. Nutrients supporting a massive phytoplankton bloom at the Chukchi hotspot in 2010 were not evident in 2011 data.
The ICESCAPE mission, or "Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment," is NASA's two-year shipborne investigation to study how changing conditions in the Arctic affect the ocean's chemistry and ecosystems. The bulk of the research takes place in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in summer 2010 and 2011.

In response to numerous reports of dead catfish in Central Florida, staff conducted investigations and many specimens were processed for analysis. Reports of dead catfish came in through the fish kill hotline, and this article explains how and where to report fish kills, fish with parasites, or fish with other abnormalities.
Astronauts from five space agencies around the world take part in ESA’s CAVES training course– Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills.
The three-week course prepares astronauts to work safely and effectively in multicultural teams in an environment where safety is critical.
As they explore caves they encounter caverns, underground lakes and strange microscopic life. They test new technology and conduct science – just as if they were living on the International Space Station.
The six astronauts have to rely on their own skills, teamwork and ground control to achieve their mission goals – the course is designed to foster effective communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and team dynamics.
The six cavenauts of this edition of CAVES are ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Jeanette Epps, Roscosmos’ cosmonaut Nikolai Chub, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Josh Kutryk and Japan’s space agency Takuya Onishi.
