Trash Macro Mondays.

My darkest Halloween pic so far this year.

I enjoy the grainy aspect when shooting with a low resolution device. Some seem to not favor having large foregrounds or backgrounds but this is how I feel great proportion and balance is gained. I tried many different angles with this shot and personally preferred being able to show the one angler having his morning smoke and the only way I could accomplish this was having their heads above the shore line. By doing this as well highlights the sunrise reflections on the face of the other sportsman. I feel this just ads to the depth of the image. since both heads have a unique presence. Sure I could crop out some of the foreground (Many will say I should) but it's my style and signature if you see my gallery

It would take an organic farmer to post such a sign on his boundary fence; I wonder what grows beyond the native bush on the other side of that barbed wire.

In una frizzante mattina di ottobre, il complesso di "Fanta" composto dalle elettromotrici ALe 940 008 ed ALe 940 003, inquadranti due rimorchiate Le 108, è in arrivo a Genova Quinto al Mare con il Regionale 21039 "metropolitano", proveniente da Genova Brignole e diretto a Genova Nervi.

 

The ALe 940 008 and 003 are arriving in Genova Quinto al Mare station as regional Train n°21039 from Genova Brignole to Genova Nervi, in a cool morning of October.

Una comparsa per gli ETR460/463 in Adriatica: con l'orario invernale 2021/2022, con l'upgrade di servizio delle Frecce, le composizioni composte da materiale ordinario che servivano ormai le sole relazioni Venezia-Lecce (E414 ed E402b con Carrozze IC901) sono state rimosse e provvisoriamente sostituite dai Pendolini.

Pochi mesi appena, perché già a marzo sono stati a loro volta sostituiti dagli ETR700 in servizio Frecciargento (diventato poi a stretto giro Frecciarossa).

In foto, l'ETR460.23 in servizio con il FB Venezia-Lecce transita poco dopo l'abitato di Polignano a Mare.

Good for compost, I understand.

Nature having its way with these Leaves.

In your garden, pull up any dead plants and lay them on the ground around healthy plants. You can also chop them up and mix them into the soil.

 

While leaves changing color in the fall are dying, they are not dead. A cold snap will kill the leaves the same as it will on the leaves of most your other plants.

Time to get that Composting Bin started.

We were surprised to look out to see these sweet ladies in our yard. One of them was very interested in our compost!

 

I feel terrible for wildlife lately because the air quality is horrendous due to the Canadian wildfires. For several days it’s been in the “unhealthy” and “very unhealthy” range, with a constant haze in the air. While we have the option of closing windows & filtering our air, they do not.

This was a family friends' garden centre after the final days of trade. It's now demolished.

Superb Fairy-wrens were particularly observant and appeared already while I was busy with the compost and they seemed to be working alongside me.

Dans une tourbière, la vie n’est pas facile.

 

Seules les espèces inféodées à ce type de milieu parviennent à s’y installer et y survivre.

Et au jeu des espèces qui s’y épanouissent, la Sphaigne en sort grande gagnante.

Cette mousse qui adore les milieux humides occupe des tourbières un peu partout dans le monde.

Bien entendu, l’eau reste l’élément essentiel à son établissement.

Et puis, le manque de substances nutritives et l’acidité du milieu sont un frein au développement des végétaux.

Tout est « les pieds dans l’eau » depuis de longues années, à vrai dire depuis des siècles et même des millénaires …

Ce biotope si particulier a longtemps été exploité par les hommes. On en retirait une ressource importante : la tourbe. Découpée en forme de briques, séchées ensuite, ce « compost » de végétaux s’avérait assez peu performant en tant que combustible.

Mais la tourbe a procuré de la chaleur à ceux qui bien souvent ne pouvaient disposer de charbon et même parfois de bois.

De nombreuses tourbières ont été condamnées, transformées en terres agricoles et pour l’élevage.

Pourtant, ces milieux exceptionnels sont le témoin d’un écosystème parfait.

Aujourd’hui, souvent protégées, les tourbières sont l’exemple même de la réussite de la Nature.

En effet, elle sont le moyen idéal et parfois inespéré de réguler la dynamique de l’eau.

Elles sont le tampon principal à l’écoulement soudain des eaux de pluie et aux inondations.

 

Son rôle de régulateur donne à la tourbière cet effet magique en limitant les excès des précipitations abondantes ou des périodes de sécheresse, tout aussi préjudiciables …

C’est ce milieu naturel si interessant qui ouvre les esprits et donne l’envie de le protéger, envers et contre tout.

This is what our compost looks like at the moment. It proves that the compost soil is excellent, and that the garden care is somewhat neglected :)

Most of the strawberries were lovely - this one seems to be growing rather a lot of mould !!!!!

Macro Mondays - Trick or Treat

 

Some years ago we warned local children that if they threw eggs at our house when denied a treat their compost heap would become infested with ghoulish horrors.

 

This creature was recently found on one of their garden paths - clearly tortured to reveal the location of where where others might be hiding. You have been warned!

 

No apples were actually harmed during the capture of this individual, it's a mock up.

I thought the snow on the lid of this compost bin looks like the radioactivity symbol.

 

The Flickr Lounge-Made Of Wood

 

These are wood pallets we got from a local business to use for our compost bins. The Rhubarb is growing on the left side and a volunteer Delicata Squash is growing in front of the bin.

Ah ça y est, au début du mois de septembre, apparaissent les premières couleurs de ce qui fera peut-être mon régal. Bon, comme elles poussent dans un square, à proximité des premiers bacs de compost collectifs, il se trouvera bien quelqu'un d'autre pour les récolter. Eh bien c'est ça, des pieds de tomates à partager.

Incredible edibles in Castries.

Ah, here we are, at the beginning of September, the first colours of what may well be my favourite food are appearing. Well, as they're growing in a square near the first communal compost bins, there's no doubt that someone else will be able to harvest them. And that's what sharing tomatoes is all about.

After painstaking research [I Googled them] I have found out that Tunnel Tech grow mushrooms so I assume this lovely truck is used for delivering the spent mushroom compost but I couldn't find Mark from MDF to confirm it so I could be wrong.

Four months ago I took this picture because I felt so captivated by the ordinary details I found in these pieces of peppers I had sliced that were to be discarded. Even though this would become compost material I really appreciated the colors, shapes, and light I saw here. I find “real” food/fresh produce so beautiful and interesting in appearance and love how I feel so thankful and excited when thinking about the nutrients and benefits fresh produce provides for our bodies. I’m thankful I took the time to capture what I saw.

The largest of the abandoned barges I photographed on this day. The wood timbers are so substantial that they partially turn to compost long before they totally disintegrate. Some of the barges have a thicket of shrubbery growing on top; this one had smaller plants on the side.

The original swimming pool is still intact on the grounds of the circa-1910 Cornish Estate near Cold Spring, N.Y. There had to have been a great view of the Hudson Highlands down the slope before all these trees sprouted.

Pan di Zucchero, nome originario Concali su Terràinu, è un faraglione che si erge dal mare a poca distanza dalla costa, nelle vicinanze di Masua, frazione di Iglesias, nella zona sud-occidentale della Sardegna.

Ha una superficie di 0,03 km² e un'altezza di 133 metri. È composto di calcare cambrico e si è originato dall'azione dell'erosione marina che ne ha determinato l'isolamento dalla terraferma. Sulla costa rocciosa, poche centinaia di metri a est, si affaccia lo sbocco dell'affascinante sito minerario Porto Flavia.

 

ricorda quasi i faraglioni irlandesi per la sua immagine selvaggia. Questo tratto della costa della sardegna del sud, è ricco di meraviglie paesagistiche che hanno reso la Sardegna famosa nel mondo.

 

Masua, con il suo imponente isolotto di Pan di Zucchero, e' una spiaggia incastonata in un paesaggio, quello del sulcis iglesiente, che è uno degli scenari rimasti maggiormente intatti in tutta la Sardegna. Proseguendo verso il piccolo paese di Nebida, dalla impressionante passeggiata panoramica a strapiombo sul mare; tra le rocce calcaree, possiamo scorgere le stupende piccole insenature immerse in una rigogliosa macchia mediterranea.

 

Trae il nome dalla sua somiglianza con Pão de Açúcar, un colle situato presso Rio de Janeiro, in Brasile, su una penisola che si estende da un estremo della Baia Guanabara all'interno dell'Oceano Atlantico con un'altezza di 396 m sul livello del mare.

WEEK 15: APRIL 2008/2010 FLASHBACK – ENTROPY

 

We keep this little metal pail in our kitchen to throw out vegetable matter for compost.

 

I opened it today and thought, since the stuff hadn't decayed all that much, the variety of colors and textures were pretty cool. I thought it would make for an interesting photo for Entropy.

I've sunk to new lows in trying to get some pictures taken during the lock down. This is the contents of my backyard composter.
