Found this on the photowalk I led yesterday at Cantigny. Just as I was complaining that it was tough to find Magnolia flowers that weren't browning at the edges, we immediately found this one. As near as I could tell, it was completely unmarked. We couldn't find any others. And, it survived the storm an hour before. So, yay!
Processing note: Lightroom provides several overlays when you crop. I flipped through them and noticed that this picture has kind of a reverse Fibonacci spiral. I cropped specifically to that. Can you spot it?

Just outside San Gimignano. You can see the sun just starting to come down the hill in the backround.

It is great having a 3 day weekend for those of us in the States. The weather has been hot, humid and severe thunderstorms at night. I've been preparing for my guest from England (Hunter) who arrives for his 1st ever visit to the United States, on October 3rd.
SIPAPU UPDATE: is doing so/so. His Sugar is great in the early morning (5am) but throughout the day it spikes quite high. I've been testing him every 4 hours as the ve wanted to try and set a curve or see if he is struggling with the "Smygogie syndrome" (see below if you want to know more). He is now getting insulin in the morning and the evening.
He's eating well and my new "device" for his incontinence problem is working. A BIG thank you to Jean (wee3beaties) for all her help, encourangement and support. I purchased a sifting litterbox and have started using "incontinence bed pads - like they use in hospitals). I place the pad inside the litterbox (NO LITTER) and use the sifter on top...so this way when he uses it, he does not get his feet or bum wet ... I have a larger pad on the floor outside which he uses for "other" eliminations. It has worked well thus far. Next Saturday "Park and Bark" is coming to my home to groom him and shave him so he remains cleaner, until we can get him healthy again.
This has been a challenge as I am Diabetic (Type II) myself. I don't need insulin and I would rather have to test myself and inject myself than this little frail guy. He knows the routine, when I call him, he jumps up on my desk, lies down and offers those soft tiny frail ears. He has been stuck so many times, I don't know how he does it, but little angel he accepts it with pride and dignity. I love this little feral tomcat so much.
SMYGOGIE SYNDROME - You say whats that (So did I..read on) : In a diabetic cat, if the blood sugar drops too low or drops too quickly, the glucagon causes the liver to indiscrimintely dump glucose into the bloodstream. This causes the cat to become hyperglycemic (high blood sugar). It is the body's self defense mechanism to stop hypoglycemia(low boood sugar). This is a simplistic description of the phenomenon as there are other hormones and biochemical processes involved, however this is essentially the mechanism. This sharp drop followed by unusually high blood glucose levels is known as Somogyi rebound.
Because of all the hormones involved in this process, this rebound may last several cycles,
punctuated by higher blood glucose levels. The blood glucose curves will possibly be flat and high, which normally indicates that more insulin is required. However, this is not the case and the treatment for somogyi is a REDUCTION in insulin, to stave off the precipitious drops that start the whole cycle.
If you read this far LOL you get a kitty treat ..yummy. Thank you all for your lovely visit, comments, faves and invites. I appreciate all your comments very much, they help me forget about some of the harsh realities of life and go about my day. I hope you all have a really beautiful, peaceful week ahead.

During my drive through some back roads of Iowa, I came across a collection of rusted farm equipment.
It was interesting to walk among them.
The photo was taken near the village of Skoutaros. You can clearly see Molyvos and, in the backround, Turkey.
