Commemorating the birthday of Charles Darwin on 12 February 1809.

 

Paleontology has been very significant for consolidating the revolutionary darwinist approach to the study of nature.

 

This amazing natural accumulation of fossils, mainly ammonites, represents a small patch of sea floor “frozen in time”. These extinct cephalopods have drifted up against pieces of waterlogged driftwood. The aggregate contains four distinct genera of ammonites 200 million years old (Lower Jurassic) [Information from Ulster Museum].

The long-busted myth that Charles Darwin's Eureka! Moment realization of the ability of natural selection to explain the problem of species, came by way of his observation of variation in the beaks of finches is a supermyth. Darwin did no such thing. He failed to understand the significance of the variation in those finch beaks, he never collected the finches, he misclassified 7 of the 13 finches collected. He never even collected them. Darwin was a wanker!!

The giant tortoise is one of the most iconic animals in the Galapagos. El Chato reserve on the Santa Cruz island is home to hundreds of these gentle giants - the perfect place to see them in their natural habitat. It is also an interesting place birds: Darwin tree and ground finches fly between the trees, while yellow warblers add a touch of color to the scene.

Just come back from a day and night in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. Darwin's birthplace. Not that far from where I was originally born, but now I live in the East of England. What a beautiful town it is. The Photography I could have done... but it was a night away with hubby which included riverside restaurants, quaint pubs and boutiques. Walks along the river watching competitive rowers, visiting Darwin's birthplace and reading history. Stayed in one of Darwin's houses now converted to a guest house. It was so quaint, I felt like I'd gone back in time. I didn't get to do too much photography but we visited an area called 'The Quarry' and 'The Quay' yesterday drinking wine along the way and a long lunch and I took this photo. I arrived home about an hour ago after quite a long car trip home, I will catch up with you all soon, hope your having a fabulous Fence Friday.

I may be well on my way to insanity but it's great when you have someone else just as crackers for company. Tonight, almost as soon as we arrived at this well known spot near Matlock in Derbyshire, it began to rain. Not just a little bit, it was a lot of the horizontal stuff. My camera, lenses, bag and myself are now drying out!

Seen in the cloud forests near the top of Volcan San Negra on Isabela Island. Darwin's flycatcher (Pyrocephalus nanus) is a species of flycatcher, closely related to the vermilion flycatcher. Also known as the Brujo flycatcher or little vermilion flycatcher. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It faces the same threats that led to the San Cristóbal flycatcher's extinction, including invasive species such as rats. Populations exist on the islands of Santa Cruz, Fernandina, Rabida and Isabela. It lives in humid forests and shrubland and has an average lifespan of five years. A near Threatened species as per ICUN 2025 Red list. Galapagos Islands National Park. Equador

Darwin Waterfront

Our story

When we reflect on the Darwin Waterfront and harbour over time, we think of it as a place that people came and went, a ‘maritime hub’.

 

Water is a prominent theme of Darwin Waterfront's history, environment, culture through Larrakia stories, recreational spaces and leisure activities.

 

The Larrakia people travelled the harbour, fishing, hunting and gathering food, conducting ceremonies and visiting sacred sites and countrymen.

 

Early surveyors, adventurers, settlers and gold seekers arrived by sea and crossed and re-crossed the harbour from this point to access the interior, carve a home out of the harsh tropical landscape or seek their fame and fortune. The railway also started and finished here.

 

From the 1930s, the spectacular flying boats landed and took off, and the pearling fleet was based nearby.

 

For many years cattle were loaded at what was then known as Darwin Town Wharf, with a small side jetty used as the flying boat terminal.

 

Right up until World War II, it was the place where everyone who was coming from and going to Darwin passed through. Stokes Hill Wharf, that you can see today, was completed in 1956 and was the main wharf until East Arm Darwin Port was completed in 2000 and Fort Hill Wharf was refurbished in 2005.

 

Cruise ships soon became a distinctive feature and as the Waterfront was the first view international visitors had of Darwin the area was developed as a place to walk, sit by the water, swim in the lagoon, dine at world-class restaurants and enjoy spectacular sunsets.

 

Today, it is a tropical lifestyle destination that attracts over a million people each year

After an uncommon stop to work Cokato, the East Local flies out of Darwin, continuing its way back to Willmar. They would also work Grove City, but this was where I had to cut off.

Yesterday, my wife wanted to take a photo of me, so I handed her my camera, and she chose this moment to capture. I’m sitting in the arbour at Charles Darwin’s garden at Down House,
