We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
Cencellada : Es un hidrometeoro consistente en la formación de cristales, plumas y agujas de hielo suave de color blanco sobre una superficie sólida por la congelación de las gotículas subfundidas de un banco de niebla. Sus propiedades físicas son muy similares a las de la nieve húmeda.
Vespers, evening prayer of thanksgiving and praise in Roman Catholic and certain other Christian liturgies. Vespers and lauds (morning prayer) are the oldest and most important of the traditional liturgy of the hours. Many scholars believe vespers is based on Judaic forms of prayer and point to a daily evening celebration observed among Jews in the 1st century BCE.By the 3rd century CE the writings of Tertullian show clear evidence of an evening prayer. During the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries, cathedral choirs and monastic orders developed the vespers service, as it was known for centuries thereafter. Following the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), the Roman Catholic service was translated into the vernacular and simplified, but it continues to revolve around the Magnificat canticle, various psalms and antiphons, and readings that vary according to liturgical season.
The Lutheran and Anglican churches both include an evening prayer service in their liturgies. In the Anglican church, evening prayer traditionally is called evensong and can be found in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. Both Protestant churches revised their rite for evening prayer during the 1970s, and both rites are patterned closely after the traditional Roman Catholic evening prayer. In the Anglican church the revised prayers offer alternative choices for greater individual choice among congregations.
Les vespres són una part de l'ofici diví -previ a les completes-, que constitueixen la pregària del vespre, i que s'acostuma a celebrar cap al capvespre. En la litúrgia romana, tenen una estructura semblant a la de les laudes i té les parts següents:
el versicle inicial Deus in adjutorium meum intende, i l'himne.
la salmòdia, actualment consistent en dos salms i un càntic del Nou Testament.
la lectura i el responsori amb el cant del Magníficat.
la pregària que acaba amb el rés del Parenostre.
l'oració i els versicle o el diàleg finals.
Tant la salmòdia gregoriana com el magníficat s'interpreten de forma antifonal.
Tal com va passar amb altres parts de la litúrgia, les vespres de les grans solemnitats, ja fos de les festes assenyalades de l'any litúrgic, ja fossin les festes principals d'una determinada localitat o territori, a partir del segle xvi els textos de les vespres van rebre musicalitzacions polifòniques per part d'un bon nombre de compositors, especialment d'aquells que servien a l'església i rebien aquesta mena d'encàrrecs per dotar la litúrgia de l'esplendor adient.
Posteriorment, i d'acord amb els estils més de moda en cada època, a partir de primer Barroc molts compositors van optar per un estil concertant. Tal és el cas de les Vespres (Vespro della beate Vergine) de Claudio Monteverdi, i les diverses que va compondre Mozart (vesperae de Dominica i Vesperae solemnes de confessore). Entre les més destacades del segle xx hi ha les de Serguei Rakhmàninov (que responen als cànons de la litúrgia de l'església ortodoxa russa, i les que el compositor txec Petr Eben va escriure sobre un text en català i que s'estrenaren a Montserrat l'any 1968.
Entre els compositors catalans que han escrit vespres o, en tot cas, salms de vespres, hi ha Francesc Valls i Joan Cererols; i entre els valencians, Joan Genís Peres.
One of the consistent things about the British weather is changeability. One minute I’m shooting into the clear skies with wispy clouds and the next its overcast and the rain is heading in. In the intervening moment I see those lovely beams of light shining down upon the waters of the North Sea and I try my best to grab a shot. I didn’t quite get the right exposure for the lighthouse but I think the beams came out pretty well. Got to take a chance when you see it!
The trunk of a fallen tree lodged in the rocks at the top of Abrams Falls adds a bit of character to this forest glen.
The pool below the falls is a tranquil place along a hiking trail. The falls are loud, but consistently so, creating a sort of white noise that adds to the serenity. This tree, suspended as it is, adds a bit of tension to the scene. When will it fall? How long has it been here? Will a bear, raccoon, or some other animal end up making it an impromptu diving board?
Haven't been on the water for a while due primarily to the winds, always a factor as a single in a canoe as any of you with that experience will know. It didn't take long for me to realize that in a battle with the wind, you will lose and you might as well just relax and enjoy the ride. With time and experience I've learned how to handle some choppy waters which provide a pleasing and satisfying challenge as long as the breeze is somewhat consistent. It's the gusts that send you where they will.
In any event, eager to get out again, I managed yesterday's somewhat brisk breezes, getting to the sheltered bays where I discovered a few of the maples leading to way to autumn.
La palabra flysch proviene del alemán y su significado es deslizar.
Son estratos rocosos perfectamente delimitados que se formaron en el fondo del océano por decantación de sedimentos y conchas de organismos marinos, en un proceso que dura millones de años, en este caso parece que hasta 60.
Estos estratos intercalan capas duras con otras más blandas. La erosión hace que estas capas menos consistentes se desgasten con mayor facilidad. Así, poco a poco, van quedando las capas duras más expuestas, soportando más la erosión a la vez que protegen a las blandas.
The word flysch comes from German and it means to slide.
They are perfectly delimited rocky strata that were formed at the bottom of the ocean by decantation of sediments and shells of marine organisms, in a process that lasts millions of years, in this case it seems that up to 60.
These strata intersperse hard layers with other softer ones. Erosion causes these less consistent layers to wear away more easily. Thus, little by little, the hard layers become more exposed, withstanding more erosion while protecting the soft ones.
Sunsets in Maui are consistently spectacular because of the unobstructed ocean views to the west. The sunlight always has a way of sneaking up under the clouds to splash bright crimson and gold colors across the sky.

As many of you know, this is the time of year when I have already posted numerous snow photos because I happen to live in an area with the highest probability of snow this time of year in the US (except Alaska). In fact, the historical likelihood of a white Christmas here is about 98%. Looking back through my archives, I have never personally recorded snowlessness at this time of year.
We've actually only had one measurable snowfall which has vanished with 24 hour temperatures consistently and unusually in a very narrow range of 35-42F/2-4C. Last night it rained. This of course has also caused any incipient ice on the lake to vanish. It has also been consistently grey and the sun has been absent for some time, the cloud cover in the winter, of course, holding the warmth.
While the local merchants are unhappy as winter sports activity will be significantly delayed, I can't say that I mind (especially after the unending and severe winter of 2013-2014) as it provides easier access through the woods in much more comfortable garb. This image accurately conveys the scene, the subjects, as are we all, seemingly waiting and wondering what's going on.

13-05-2023: turbulent sky in the evening.
After years of suffering, finally the ghost/temporary lake of Cerknica (it is a karstic lake as better specified in many photos of the past) returns to cover, over the long term, a vast surface of its large basin, which measures 40km2 and can be covered with water almost totally, something that hasn't happened since March 2018, roughly.
In these cases it becomes, by far, the largest lake in Slovenija (up to almost 4x Lake Bohinj), although with a low average depth, mainly between 0.5 and 2m, facilitating rich vegetation and aquatic fauna composed of still water fish (the biggest are Carp, Chub, Tench and Pike) and a large variety of amphibians.
The lake is also rich in poultry fauna, in particular storks and gray herons, and many migrant species.
Unfortunately in 2022, for the first time in its history (those who follow my photostream probably remember it, with "my area" shots inserted in strictly chronological order), the drying up of all the not embanked large part (the embanked part represents just 0.1% of the entire lake basin and was in any case reduced by 90%), caused an incalculable death of fish, while a significant part of amphibians survived by digging deep burrows in the mud.
This is just to say that you can't have "the wine bottle full and be drunk", as people would like expecting to be in the shade of lush vegetation wanting sun for 365 days a year.
It is ONLY thanks to my beloved "bad weather" that a healthy and flourishing nature can be appreciated.
Forbidden City by Indo Chine
Consistently rated among the preeminent establishments at Singapore’s mega-popular Clarke Quay nightlife precinct, The Forbidden City has for years been attracting crowds of discerning diners and party goers with its multi-faceted offerings. Occupying the majestic Singapore waterfront building- The River House- which has been listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO- the building was originally a 19th Century river front godown, later converted into the palatial residence of a wealthy trader. Operated by Singapore’s renowned IndoChine Group, the building has, while maintaining its historic structure and facade, been extensively re-modelled internally into a collection of stylish restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

Domestic violence has been predominantly portrayed in the popular media, news, and entertainment industries, as physical violence by men against women. The scars of physical abuse tend to heal and serve as reminders to us not to let those things happen again, not to let the offense go unrecognized, not to let the perpetrator off the hook without consequences. But in reality, this is only the proverbial low-hanging fruit, the sort of thing that is easy to understand and identify. Yes, it happens that way a lot of the time, but there is a more insidious and harder to identify kind of domestic abuse. It is mental and emotional abuse and it follows no particular set of rules about gender or relationships. It is a pattern that is insidious and in some relationships consistent and pervasive. It is as unfair and demeaning as anything. The abuser is a master manipulator, expert in all the tactics from bullying to gas-lighting to emotional blackmail. It is even worse when the victim is a juvenile and the abuser an adult. This is the quiet, invisible abuse that all too frequently no one notices. Even the victims often rationalize it away, as if they might deserve it. They don’t of course. No one deserves someone else in their life who is that hateful, selfish, controlling, and manipulative. The first step is for the victim to wake up and realize that no one deserves such treatment, then get the courage to find someone trustworthy to listen. If this is you, get out now, cut all ties, and never go back. Old habits are too hard to break. Established patterns are too easy to fall back into again.

I fell in love with these two skeletal trees. They have a certain grandeur and it is sad to think of what they once were - living beings fulfilling their role in our fragile environment. The shade they once provided to protect the soil from drying out too much, and the shelter they provided to birds and small insects. They were each a small world in itself.
But drought is a terrible thing. Once the water table retreats far enough through lack of consistent rain, the roots simply cannot get enough water to survive. The death of trees like this is a slow affair and from the outer reaches of the branches their systems start to shut down, limb by limb until the very roots themselves dry up.
They still serve a useful purpose in death though, providing habitats for small creatures and birds, and you can see that moss that is growing quite well on the outside of each tree. But this moss is a sign of the more recent rains that came too late to save these trees.
My title is a line that comes from an album I've listened to frequently in recent times, Nick Cave's magnificently dark and brooding, "Skeleton Tree".
Há dois exemplares da mesma árvore no terreno do prédio onde moro. Desci hoje para caminhar um pouco e lá estavam as frutinhas à minha espera !
"Yzygium malaccense L.O (antigamente, Eugenia malaccensis), popularmente conhecido como jambeiro, jambo-rosa, jambo-vermelho, jambo-roxo, jambroche e eugenia é uma espécie da família Myrtaceae, a qual também inclui espécies como a goiabeira, a pitangueira, o jamelão, a jabuticaba e o eucalipto. O seu fruto, chamado jambo, é uma drupa piriforme (em forma de pera), com casca com cor variando de vermelho a roxo, polpa consistente e branca, adocicada e levemente ácida, e uma semente de formato esférico, ou duas hemisféricas, no seu interior. As folhas são grandes, compridas e brilhantes. As flores são vermelhas e com numerosos estames."
Esta es una enorme especie de avispa de colores llamativos, (Cryptocheilus alternatus) una de las mayores de Europa. Las hembras paralizan arañas con su aguijón y las llevan a su nido, consistente en varias cámaras, cada una de las cuales contendrá una araña paralizada y un huevo de la avispa, que cuando nazca devorará a la araña. Las arañas elegidas como presas suelen ser en su mayor parte tarántulas (géneros Lycosa y Hogna).
Se encuentra en hábitats abiertos como praderas, estepas y márgenes forestales. Los imagos visitan las flores y tienen un temperamento nervioso y rápido.
Se distribuye por Europa meridional y occidental.
Charles Darwin dijo cuando vio un ejemplar de esta especie cazar una tarantula: “No puedo convencerme a mí mismo de que un dios omnipotente y benefactor creara las Ichneumonidae con la intención expresa de que se alimentaran de los cuerpos vivientes de las orugas”.

I primi del 2010 - Parco del Ticino
Questa insolita specie presenta un corpo fungino disteso sul substrato legnoso, di forma estremamente variabile, in quanto allo stato giovane è a forma di fruttificazioni cerebriformi, poi si fa irregolarmente lobato e plissettato, raggiungendo una lunghezza di 2-10 cm ed una altezza di 2-4 cm, con superficie liscia e brillante. Il colore è giallo-vivo, giallo-aranciato nei giovani carpofori, giallo pallido e più o meno ricoperto di polvere sporale biancastra con l’invecchiamento. La carne ha consistenza gelatinosa, piuttosto tenace inizialmente e poi più molle e cedevole, con odore gradevole un po’ fruttato.
Cresce in boschi di latifoglie, su tronchi e rami morti, caduti o ancora in sede, soprattutto di Corylus, Carpinus, Fagus, Fraxinus, per tutto l’anno ma in particolare in Autunno-Inverno e dopo abbondanti piogge. Molto comune nelle mie zone.
Si tratta di specie ovviamente non commestibile (vista la consistenza).
There's consistently a bunch of these just beyond the entry stile, on the trail to the beach. this year they are HUGE!
Thanks to Marlin Harms & Ron Parsons for the species ID!

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.
This is consistent with a first spring male (born last year) in view of the greenish edged primaries and secondaries (flight feathers seen to the left of the white handkerchief).
My shutter speed was a bit slower for a singing shot then I would like. Should ideally be at least 1/500, but the tripod saved the image... albeit slightly soft.

La Alhambra es una ciudad palatina andalusí consistente en un conjunto de palacios, jardines y fortaleza que albergaba una verdadera ciudadela dentro de la propia ciudad de Granada, y que servía como alojamiento al monarca y a la corte del Reino nazarí de Granada.
Su verdadero atractivo, no solo radica en los interiores, cuya decoración está entre las cumbres del arte andalusí, sino también en su localización y adaptación, generando un paisaje nuevo pero totalmente integrado con la naturaleza preexistente.
La Alhambra se levanta sobre la colina de la Sabika, uno de los puntos más elevados de la ciudad de Granada, y cuya ocupación se remonta a tiempos romanos. Del año 666 datan las primeras referencias escritas de un emplazamiento militar en la zona. A mediados del siglo XI, al convertirse Granada en capital del reino de Taifa, bajo la dinastía ziríes, se ampliaron las construcciones, pasando a ser residencia real a partir de 1.238, con la llegada al poder de Muhammad ibn Nasr, primer monarca del Reino nazarí de Granada, para lo que creó un abastecimiento de agua propio.
Les Fonts de l’Algar és un paratge natural consistent en un conjunt de brolladors situats en diferents punts del barranc de Sacs,[al terme municipal de Callosa d'en Sarrià (la Marina Baixa). El paratge és protegit com a Zona Humida des del 2002.
El lloc té un grau elevat de conservació de riquesa ecològica, amb d’aigües pures i cristal·lines.Només la font del Moro al parcurs és d'accés fàcil per als senderistes. A l'entorn s'ha creat d'un parc per a interpretar la importància de l’aigua com a recurs ecològic, econòmic i cultura.Es pot visitar seguint un circuit d’1,5 km de longitud pel llit del riu Algar, durant el qual es pot apreciar el paisatge kàrstic de la roca calcària, amb cascades, fonts que ixen de la roca; tolls on es pot prendre el bany, una antiga presa, el canal i les séquies centenàries encara hui estan en ús.
El lloc fa part del sender GR de la Muntanya d'Alacant

Never been consistent with BIF with my Oly system. Boils down to the lack in skills compared to my Flickr contacts who are using the same Oly system. Lucky the A9 closes the skill gap allowing me to enjoy taking bird inflight.
This shot from the Oly system is one of the lucky shots.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a beautiful weekend.
Thank you

Early last December, I was consistently seeing a pair of Eurasian collared doves in Lake Meyer Park. After a very severe Christmas cold snap, one collared dove disappeared and probably perished due to the cold. Today I was delighted to see two collared doves here in the park again, so our lonely winter resident now has a new roommate!
Perhaps the most consistently attractive habitat in North America to wintering snowy owls in modern times may be airports, which not only tend to have the flat, grassy characteristics of their preferred habitats but also by winter host a particular diversity of prey, both pests which rely on humans as well as wildlife attracted to the extensively grassy and marshy strips that dot the large airport vicinities.

There they were, so perfect for each other, yet so oblivious of one another. Everyone around them saw something there, the universe itself pushed them both to remain consistent. Friendship is always the best foundation for a healthy relationship. Swapping creativity, boosting each other to shine the brightest they can be. No, he didn't complete her, nor did she complete him but they both brought out the best in each other they already had.
"2..."
Rough patches, soul searching and just trying to find your purpose in life can be difficult. Not everyone is fortunate to meet another that makes them feel heard, cared for and trusted. Suddenly, friends became best friends. A much stronger connotation. The silent comfort through the raging storm within. But time tends to test everyone and isn't it amazing how they surpassed time. Accepting that everything that's meant to be will happen in the right time for a better forever.
"1..."
He twirled her around and around. She was laughing, her hair swaying around her form, flowery dress dancing in the air. He held onto her hand gently but firmly never letting her go as he watched her with a heartful gaze. Finally, they started that journey together. Looking out for each other more than best friends, but as lovers now. Oh, how much of the world they will conquer together. Just how inspirational thier union is not just for themselves individually but also to others watching them, admiring them.
"Cheese!!!" I exclaimed.
"Too much cheese" he muttered...
"There is not enough cheese!" She responded.
"We are definitely going to eat something with cheese fondue today!" I said, laughing.
P.S. I had so much fun sharing creativity with these two badass lovebirds! Cheers to more collaborations to come, we have to continue our tourist story and let it lead to many places!
Proudly featuring Lya and Adam and also their combo account Adam&Lya ♦ B-Rolls.
They also created their own image and I was so happy to turn it into a fun story.
I think it's just as important to have a year long consistently present sense of respectfulness and safe space for all who may not identify with their biology or who may not love someone with the considered opposite biology...so, not just a month or a neighborhood but a celebration of who we can be through our actions.
I just recently moved in Chicago (which is why I have been somewhat absent these past few days) to Northalsted Chicago and is has been quite a party here these last few days even though the Pride Parade took place in the downtown area. This is an area of Chicago where people celebrate and respect differences even though it's not perfect (there is still discrimination here, too).
All areas of the world at all times need to become gentler and less afraid of the unknown. We know what it is like already to have heavily policed streets with racial iniquities alongside the homophobia and transphobia and we need to continue to assert to those in power that we don't want to live like that and it's not working. It leads to higher levels of economic instability, mental illness, and lower levels of unity within the community, positive diversity, and quality education.
I also think we need to think beyond the categories that do not unite us but divide us when we reassert the importance of gender and orientation. We are limiting our ability to love all. We our using maybe only 9% of our brains. Biology should not define us. Our actions should define us.

Arrott Building located at Fourth Avenue and Wood Street in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was built in 1902. This skyscraper and several surrounding financial buildings are part of the Fourth Avenue Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Arrott Building, designed by Frederick J. Osterling, was added to the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks in 2000
The Gulf Tower is a 44-story, 177.4 m (582 ft) Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[5] The tower is one of the major distinctive and recognizable features of the city and is named for the Gulf Oil Corporation, which was one of the leading multinational oil companies of its time, consistently ranking among the largest 10 corporations in the country. In 1984, Gulf and Chevron took part in the world's largest merger ($13.3 billion or $32.7 billion today) to that time.
Built as the headquarters for the Gulf Oil Company, and known as the Gulf Building, the structure was designed by the firm of Trowbridge & Livingston and completed in 1932 at a cost of $10.05 million ($153.8 million today). As late as 1981 Gulf Oil employed 3,100 within the building.[6] Now called Gulf Tower, it has 44 floors and rises 177.4 m (582 ft) above Downtown Pittsburgh. The crown of the skyscraper is modeled after the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus in the style of a step pyramid. 146
Landscape photographers I admire have a definitely style and are usually consistent to that presentation. I can usually spot a Littlejohn, Baxter or Talibart a mile off. Because I admire these photographers, much of my post processing strives for a certain look which I feel is not uniquely mine. A soft ethereal woodland, a dream like mountainscape or drama at sea, a look I’ve seen before but I’m sure wasn’t in my minds eye when I took the photo. A good example of this is to compare my photos from yesterday to today. Yesterdays has the lighter touch more akin to watercolour, than todays bolder vision which feels more like an oil painting, I leave you to guess which photographer influenced which. In the end of the day I enjoy trying to emulate even if I never get there, and it’s my love of these places in the first place which got me standing there pressing the shutter button.

Daino (Dama dama, Linnaeus, 1758),
è un mammifero artiodattilo della famiglia dei Cervidi.
[...]
Il daino è una specie estremamente adattabile che sopravvive bene in molti ambienti anche se i suoi preferiti sono le aree boschive a prevalenza di latifoglie vicino a radure o spiazzi aperti mentre evita le zone montane con copertura nevosa persistente ed abbondante.
Rispetto al cervo rosso, il daino è molto meno "selvatico", nel senso che non è così diffidente ed in particolare le femmine (che vivono in gruppi anche piuttosto consistenti, assieme ai cuccioli) si possono facilmente osservare anche durante il giorno, risultando scarsamente timorose dell'uomo. I vecchi maschi, che conducono vita perlopiù solitaria ed abitano zone più impervie, sono invece assai prudenti e difficilmente avvicinabili dall'uomo e da altri animali.
