Per comporre un paesaggio e raccontare una storia bastano talvolta pochi elementi. Nella Maremma di Grosseto una
ondulazione coltivata a grano, una vecchia e sofferente quercia e una nuvola raccontano una storia antica. Raccontano di una foresta estinta e di generazioni di agricoltori all'aratro, alla semina e alla falce. Raccontano del tempo che sembra essersi fermato e dell'estinzione dei contadini ..... ..
Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniclus (M)
It breeds across Europe and much of temperate and northern Asia. Most birds migrate south in winter, but those in the milder south and west of the range are resident. It is common in reedbeds and also breeds in drier open areas such as moorland and cultivation. For example, it is a component of the purple moor grass and rush pastures, a type of Biodiversity Action Plan habitat in the UK. It occurs on poorly drained neutral and acidic soils of the lowlands and upland fringe.
The common reed bunting is a medium-sized bird, 13.5–15.5 cm long, with a small but sturdy seed-eater's bill. The male has a black head and throat, white neck collar and underparts, and a heavily streaked brown back. The female is much duller, with a streaked brown head, and is more streaked below.
Despite its name, the Reed Bunting breeds across a range of habitats from reedbeds and conifer plantations to hedgerows and arable crops like oil seed rape. During the non-breeding season, this species is dependent upon weed seeds, and as such, Reed Buntings would have joined other species in winter flocks on farmland stubbles. The decline of this species matches that of other farmland species like Tree Sparrow and Linnet. The increasing winter use of gardens during the 1980s probably reflects the decrease in availability of winter food.
#smileonsaturday #tabletopgamecomponents
When i read the theme for the next Smile on Saturday Challenge then instantly Memories of my childhood came up. I don`t know how many Hours my friends an me have spent playing this great Game called RISK ! The Game is well known around the world and gets played since over 60 Years by Generations. Back in 1957 it got created by Albert Lamorisse, a french filmmaker. I still own the Game and we play it from time to time when we celebate game nights. So i took the chance to shoot an image of my DE LUXE Version of the Game for the theme quite a while ago.
Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the world, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. Turns rotate among players who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls. Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game. The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and, in doing so, eliminate the other players. The game can be lengthy, requiring several hours to multiple days to finish. European versions are structured so that each player has a limited "secret mission" objective that shortens the game.
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Dull gray-brown bulbul with a black head and bright white cheek patch. Also note yellow vent and white tail tip. A lowland species of dry forests, scrub, forest edge, parks, and gardens; can be quite common in cities and towns in parts of its range. Song brief but pleasant and fluid. Gives low raspy “chuk” as well as mellower call notes similar to components of its song. (eBird)
-------------
A small flock of bulbuls flew into the shrubs lining the entry to the wetlands. They took one look at us and decided that we were not interesting enough to stick around for. This was the only one to stay still long enough for photos and for all but this shot, hid his face behind the leaves.
Ras al-Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, Dubai, UAE. March 2014.
One from the final few days of last year with all 3 (at the time) remaining Belgian Air Component Sea Kings from 40 Squadron. Seen returning after the last 3 ship farewell tour. RS02 has since retired and the remaining RS04 and RS05 retiring by end of March. Long live the king!
Sometimes, all it takes is your smile

As previously mentioned, the 74th members Meeting at Goodwood this year featured a number of Porsche 917's both on display and doing demonstration laps round the circuit. Quite possibly the most iconic of these is the Gulf liveried 917 that featured in the Steve McQueen film Le Mans. At the 74MM there were 3 917's that were shown in the Gulf livery, including this car, chassis 917-031, which forms part of the Rofgo Collection of Gulf Liveried cars.
The Porsche 917 was designed by Hans Mezger, chief engineer at Porsche. The car was built using a light spaceframe chassis that was pressurised with gas to detect cracks in the welding. Hans Mezger designed the original 4.5ltr V12 engine, which used two Porsche 2.25ltr flat-6 engines mated together. The gearbox, mounted longitudinally, was designed to take a set of four or five gears as dictated by the circuit and conditions. To ensure that the size of the car remained compact, the driver actually sits with feet positioned ahead of the front axle.
The 917 made use of components made of titanium and magnesium to provide strength and lightness, while the the gear knob was made from balsa wood. One of the clever techniques used to save weight was to put the oil through to the front cooler via the tubular spaceframe chassis itself rather than adding independent pipework that would add weight and complexity.
The Porsche 917 ran in the 1969, 1970 and 1971 World Sportscar Championship. Initially it was described as being incredibly unstable, using all the road at speed by factory driver Brian Redman. When suspension modifications did not resolve the issue, it was found that the long tail was creating an amount of lift not seen in sports racing before. As the 917 was significantly faster than anything that had run at Le Mans before, the aerodynamic lift was a new experience for the teams involved in this kind of racing.
Interestingly, the works racers at the time preferred the Porsche 908 due to its stability, especially on the more complex and technical tracks. This however caused a problem for Porsche who had a surplus of 917's to sell and so wanted to continue promoting the car. To do this they initially approached BMW and asked for their drivers Hubert Hahne and Dieter Quester to compete in the 917 at the 1000km Nurburgring, but after initial testing BMW refused. This led Porsche to turn to Englishman David Piper and Australian Frank Gardner, but they struggled to finish in 8th place whereas the Porsche Team entry of six 908's finished in the top 5 places.
At the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans, the inexperienced privateer and British gentleman-driver John Woolfe crashed and was killed when his Porsche 917 came off the track at Maison Blanche on the opening lap.

In this shot of Copper Island, the cloud I saw from a distance plays a major part. As it was forming I raced to a familiar spot to catch it at just the right time. Copper Island is left as a silhouette, and makes the shot more about shapes than the nature it captures.

March 20th is World Frog Day, which was created in 2009 to increase awareness of the plight of threatened frog species around the world. All amphibians, including frogs, are important components of the global ecosystem, as indicators of environmental health and contributors to human health. More than one third of them are currently threatened with extinction. Addressing the amphibian extinction crisis represents the greatest species conservation challenge in the history of humanity.
We know there are at least 7,400 species of frogs (AmphibiaWeb), but sadly, we also know that at least 2,000 (28%) of these are threatened with extinction (IUCN Red List). The actual number of threatened species is no doubt considerably higher, because around 1,000 species (14%) have not yet been assessed for their threat categories, and for another 1,000 (14%) of them, so little is known about their status in the wild that they cannot be accurately assessed.
Many things are causing frog populations around the world to decline, and in fact, at least 35 species that we know of have gone extinct in recent times. Habitat loss and destruction is one of the worst problems, not only for frogs, but for many other species of animals and plants.
Many human activities contribute to habitat destruction and the decline of amphibians, including water pollution, the introduction of non-native species, climate change, agriculture, and urban development. Diseases, especially chytridiomycosis, which is caused by the chytrid fungus, are also having a massive effect on frogs, many of which are already under stress from the threats mentioned above. - Wikipedia

Wikipedia - Dyscophus antongilii, the Madagascar tomato frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae.
They breed in the rainy season and are nocturnal. They tend to eat small insects and invertebrates. They are also on the endangered species list. Their lifespan is 6 to 8 years.
When threatened, a tomato frog puffs up its body. When a predator grabs a tomato frog in its mouth, the frog's skin secretes a thick substance that gums up the predator's eyes and mouth, causing the predator to release the frog to free up its eyes.
Tomato frogs will reach sexual maturity in 9–14 months. Females are larger than males and can reach 4 inches in length. Males can reach 2 to 3 inches in length.

Mi ritrovavo un sacco di componenti elettronici perché feci la pazzia di comprare un robot a fascicoli settimanali..
Anche se di elettronica non capisco una mazza, mi hanno sempre affascinato. Eccone un possibile riutilizzo..
Ho poggiato una lastra di vetro su una foto di un mio profilo e ho piazzato i componenti.

Wildflowers (Bell Box)
Inverleigh Dr. and The Queensway
This organic mural transforms a plain rectangular Bell box into a natural scene complete with blooming wildflowers. A soft turquoise meets teal gradient acts as the backdrop for large dark green, heart-shaped leaves. Thin bright yellow grasses and pale blue flowers are layered on top in a very loose, drawing-like style. Painted in the fall, these flowers demonstrate the act of providing seeds and pollen to insects and birds before winter.
Stacey Kinder, the artist who painted this Bell Box, is an artist, ecologist and conservationist from Toronto with a background in Fine Arts and Ecosystem Management. She hopes to share her passion through her artwork and highlight the natural wildlife in Canadian neighbourhoods.
This mural was inspired by the plants that were growing around the box itself. Stacey’s aim was to celebrate the beings that live in the South Etobicoke neighbourhood and their unique individuality. As different as they are, each plant thrives here and co-exists in the same ecosystem - much like us, the plants and animals are connected and dependent on one another. If one component of an ecosystem is missing, the entire network is at risk of poor health and collapse. This really brings home the idea of neighbourhood love.
