I was standing on an outcrop of rocks, looking down into the deep sea. The sunlight was strong and high in the sky.

Heaven forbid she should drink out of her water bowl. This is ok tho, right up until she bumps the faucet handle, manages to knock the spout to the side, thereby flooding the counter. When no one is home. Thanks a lot.
Bladder Campanion / silene vulgaris. Lindrick Common, South Yorkshire. 21/06/20.
I've yet to see a tidy clump of Bladder Campanion! It's appearance is usually straggly and unkempt - the group these were part of was no different. It had been well blown about by the wind in it's exposed position on the field and stems were leaning in every direction. Yet despite this mayhem, it still has a wayward charm that drew me towards it for a closer look.
The five white petals on each flower are so deeply notched it looks as if there are ten of them. They're reputed to smell of cloves, though I've never been able to detect it. Best of all (for me), are the bladder-like calyxes that lie immediately behind the petals. They have the most delicate pinkish-lilac mesh patterning on them ... another prime example of Nature's art.
I used selective focus to make this image and if viewed larger you will be able to see the intricate patterns on one 'bladder'.

Invasive white bladder campion (Silene latifolia) has traveled to Alaska via hay and animal feeds, though here in the extreme weather of interior Alaska, it doesn't usually reseed. This was no doubt a first year 'volunteer' in my compost/manure heap. I haven't seen any signs of it since this one time of blooming, in 2012.
I like them, I wouldn't mind if they were a bit hardier and could grow and bloom a bit more readily.
Bladders emptied and snacks procured, we were continuing on the way home when this vista opened before us. Brakes were slammed, photo gear quickly unpacked, and we all tried to capture the fleeting light and the lovely scene in front of us.

'Life in an Alpine Meadow'
An eclectic collection of macro and close-up images from our recent trip to the Western Tyrol region of Austria, where I was able to spend time photographing subjects that I would normally ignore and experimenting with different techniques that I haven't tried at home. Rather than letting these photos 'gather dust' on a hard-drive, I thought I'd make a Flickr album as a useful reminder for when we return next year.

Bladder Campion [Silene vulgaris]
Still covered in early-morning dew drops.
A common wildflower in Austrian meadows, and where found further south in Europe is widely used as a food plant. In some Mediterranean countries the tender leaves are eaten raw in salads, and older leaves boiled, fried or sautéed. In Italy, Bladder Campion may be used in risotto, and in the La Mancha region of Spain it is used in a special dish called gazpacho viudo (widower gazpacho).

El problema de Geltier.
Por ejemplo, Isaac Newton sabe que en frente de él hay una manzana si y sólo si:
Newton cree que frente a él hay una manzana.
Es verdad que frente a él hay una manzana.
Newton está justificado en su creencia de que frente a él hay una manzana.
Sin embargo, en 1963, Edmund Gettier publicó un artículo de tres páginas titulado ¿Es el conocimiento creencia verdadera justificada?, en el que argumentó que la definición clásica no es suficiente. Gettier mostró que hay casos en los que una creencia verdadera justificada puede fallar en ser conocimiento. Es decir, hay casos en los que los tres requisitos se cumplen, y sin embargo intuitivamente nos parece que no hay conocimiento.
Retomando el ejemplo anterior, podría ser que Newton crea que frente a él hay una manzana y esté justificado en ello (por ejemplo, porque la está mirando), pero ¿y si la manzana fuera de cera?
En ese caso, según la definición clásica, Newton no posee conocimiento, porque falta que sea verdad que frente a él haya una manzana.
One is amused ...
Smiling warmly on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, her majesty the Queen, acknowledges tens of thousands of cheering, flag-waving royal supporters this afternoon. Her appearance marks the end of four days of nationwide celebrations marking her 60-years on the British throne. Queen Elizabeth II is 85-years-old. Looking good, ma'am .... :-)
Her radiant smile, though, masked her concern at her husband's, Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh, sudden illness. At 90, he was admitted to hospital last night, suffering with a bladder infection. Always at her side during state occasions, it's unusual to see The Queen without him.

The fine weather took me out to the pretty botanical garden at Buitenpost just across the border from Groningen in Friesland. Lots of Spring flowers still because it's been quite chilly until now.
Here's pure as the driven snow Bladder Campion, Silene vulgaris. At least, I think I'm right although I was a bit troubled by the very long pistils reaching out rather far - as it seems - for pollen...
Bladder pod I currently blooming and attracting bees and Harlequin Beetles. later after the blooms fade large bladders will form, look to the right of the flowers and you can see a couple forming. Background is Wild Sage

These interesting flowers were seen at Legacy Marsh in Nanaimo area and were just coming into bloom.
