The male Common Darter is one of the most widespread of the dragonflies to be found over most lowland of Britain and Ireland. Can be seen on the wing from May to early November depending on the weather. The Latin name Odonata for the order of dragonflies is derived from the Greek "odonto" which refers to the strong teeth that can be found on the mandibles of most adults.
This tropical butterfly can also be known as Blue-Banded Purple Wing, Whitened Bluewing, Tropical Blue Wave or the Royal Blue. As this butterfly moves around the iridescent blue purple on the wings can actually change colour depending on the angle of the sun. Found from Central and south America.

"Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality."

Barn Owl - Tyto Alba
Norfolk,
Like most owls, the barn owl is nocturnal, relying on its acute sense of hearing when hunting in complete darkness. It often becomes active shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day when relocating from one roosting site to another. In Britain, on various Pacific Islands and perhaps elsewhere, it sometimes hunts by day. This practice may depend on whether the owl is mobbed by other birds if it emerges in daylight. However, in Britain, some birds continue to hunt by day even when mobbed by such birds as magpies, rooks and black-headed gulls, such diurnal activity possibly occurring when the previous night has been wet making hunting difficult. By contrast, in southern Europe and the tropics, the birds seem to be almost exclusively nocturnal, with the few birds that hunt by day being severely mobbed.
Barn owls are not particularly territorial but have a home range inside which they forage. For males in Scotland this has a radius of about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the nest site and an average size of about 300 hectares. Female home ranges largely coincide with that of their mates. Outside the breeding season, males and females usually roost separately, each one having about three favoured sites in which to conceal themselves by day, and which are also visited for short periods during the night. Roosting sites include holes in trees, fissures in cliffs, disused buildings, chimneys and haysheds and are often small in comparison to nesting sites. As the breeding season approaches, the birds move back to the vicinity of the chosen nest to roost.
Once a pair-bond has been formed, the male will make short flights at dusk around the nesting and roosting sites and then longer circuits to establish a home range. When he is later joined by the female, there is much chasing, turning and twisting in flight, and frequent screeches, the male's being high-pitched and tremulous and the female's lower and harsher. At later stages of courtship, the male emerges at dusk, climbs high into the sky and then swoops back to the vicinity of the female at speed. He then sets off to forage. The female meanwhile sits in an eminent position and preens, returning to the nest a minute or two before the male arrives with food for her. Such feeding behaviour of the female by the male is common, helps build the pair-bond and increases the female's fitness before egg-laying commences.
Barn owls are cavity nesters. They choose holes in trees, fissures in cliff faces, the large nests of other birds such as the hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) and, particularly in Europe and North America, old buildings such as farm sheds and church towers. Buildings are preferred to trees in wetter climates in the British Isles and provide better protection for fledglings from inclement weather. Trees tend to be in open habitats rather than in the middle of woodland and nest holes tend to be higher in North America than in Europe because of possible predation.
This bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the 1950s and '60s.
Nocturnal birds like the barn owl are poorly monitored by the Breeding Bird Survey and, subject to this caveat, numbers may have increased between 1995-2008.
Barn owls are a Schedule 1 and 9 species.

Despite being from the cactus family, the May flower does not have any thorns. It originates in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and is scientifically known as schlumbergera truncata.
Its preferences are similar to orchids in terms of support. In its natural environment it prefers to use tree trunks as support. Therefore, this place is one of the best to keep your flower.
The name of this plant became popular due to its flowering, which takes place in May. However, it can be known in other ways depending on the region you are in. Thus, other common names are: silk flower, easter cactus for the southern hemisphere and christmas cactus for the northern hemisphere.
This flower fell in love with gardening enthusiasts because it is medium in size, has a huge variety of colors such as pink, pale yellow, red, orange and white, in addition to being very easy to grow.
The May flower reaches 30 cm in height, and can be kept in smaller pots with a diameter of 10 cm. Another curiosity is that if this plant is pollinated, it produces pink fruits with 1 to 2 cm when ripe.
***
This plant blooms in autumn, which in Brazil takes place between March and May. This time is close to Easter, which is also related to the flower. On the other hand, it can still bloom around Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere.
In this way, the May flower is linked to festivals that symbolize rebirth and life. Because it has many cheerful colors, it brings more liveliness to any environment in which it is, valuing any garden decoration around it.
The name silk flower is related to the soft and delicate texture of this flower. Therefore, these definitions are also among its meanings, offering more softness to the place where it is grown. That's why you can even stay in the plants to improve the energy of the house.
If offered as a gift, its symbolism indicates an attitude of pure and true feeling. It can also be used for declarations of love, representing the sincerity of the relationship.
The Monarch is a milkweed butterfly. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (3 1⁄2–4 in).
The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the northern and central United States and southern Canada to Florida and Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return north.
The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in southern California but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites as well.

Common Tern - Sterna Hirundo
Juvenile
It is strongly migratory, wintering in coastal tropical and subtropical regions. Breeding adults have light grey upperparts, white to very light grey underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow pointed bill. Depending on the subspecies, the bill may be mostly red with a black tip or all black. There are a number of similar species, including the partly sympatric Arctic tern, which can be separated on plumage details, leg and bill colour, or vocalisations.
Breeding in a wider range of habitats than any of its relatives, the common tern nests on any flat, poorly vegetated surface close to water, including beaches and islands, and it readily adapts to artificial substrates such as floating rafts. The nest may be a bare scrape in sand or gravel, but it is often lined or edged with whatever debris is available. Up to three eggs may be laid, their dull colours and blotchy patterns providing camouflage on the open beach.

Es un verdadero placer encontrarte con este bello ave que vive muy oculto entre la vegetación de monte bajo, como en las marismas entre almajos juncos y barrones
En la Península Ibérica son habituales durante todo el año, pues unos vienen de África a pasar primavera verano y sacar adelante una o dos nidadas depende de la abundancia o no de comida, luego regresan a África para invernar. Otros ejemplares bajan desde el resto de Europa a pasar aqui el otoño e invierno, con una climatologia bastante mejor que en el norte
Se alimentan de insectos, orugas, larvas, pequeños caracoles, semillas y frutos silvestres

Sciurus carolinensis, common name eastern gray squirrel or grey squirrel depending on region, is a tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus. It is native to eastern North America but has since been introduced to European regions.
Sciurus carolinensis is native to the eastern and midwestern United States, and to the southerly portions of the eastern provinces of Canada. The eastern gray squirrel is found from New Brunswick to Manitoba, south to East Texas and Florida. Breeding eastern gray squirrels are found in Nova Scotia, but whether this population was introduced or came from natural range expansion is not known.
It has also been introduced into Ireland, Britain, Italy, South Africa, and Australia (where it was extirpated by 1973). Eastern grey squirrels in Europe are a concern because they have displaced some of the native squirrels.
A prolific and adaptable species, the eastern gray squirrel has been introduced to, and thrives in, several regions of the western United States. The gray squirrel is an invasive species in Britain; it has spread across the country and has largely displaced the native red squirrel, S. vulgaris. In Ireland, the red squirrel has been displaced in several eastern counties, though it remains common in the south and west of the country. That such displacement might happen in Italy is of concern, and gray squirrels might spread from Italy to other parts of mainland Europe. - Wikipedia
More from cottage land .....

Very cold where I am !!!!

Take your pick !!
The eggshell color depends on the breed of the hen.
White shell eggs come from hens with white feathers and white ear lobes, while brown/blue/green shell eggs are produced by hens with brown/gray feathers and red ear lobes.
Chickens should be allowed to roam and eat grass and bugs while they get fresh air and exercise.
They say that the color of an egg is not an indicator of quality;
however, to me it is. Brown/Blue eggs taste better than white ones.
The only time I buy white eggs is for Easter because using white eggs will yield brighter, more vibrant colors.
I remember buying Land-O'Lakes white eggs and the taste was terrible and the smell awful due to the food the hens were eaten.
There is something Magic about Easter White Eggs, but not Land O'Lakes brand. After they are colored, the taste is the same like the brown/blue/green ones. ???

DSC04946. Castillo Templario de Ponferrada. Declarado Monumento Nacional de Interés Histórico y Artístico in 1924, el castillo es el resultado de una larga serie de ampliaciones, reformas y adiciones que van desde el primero llevado a cabo cerca de la planta cuadrada a principios del siglo 12, hasta las últimas zonas construidas a finales de los siglos 15 y principios de los 16. Tan pronto como Ponferrada pasó a depender de la Orden del Temple en 1178, por el regalo de los Reyes de León, los caballeros templarios encontraron una pequeña fortaleza que en un principio actuó como un asentamiento celta. Los caballeros reforzaron y reconstruyeron el recinto amurallado con el fin de proteger y guardar el camino de los peregrinos de Santiago y defender la entrada a la zona noroeste de la península. El castillo alberga ahora la exposición permanente "Templum Libri" en libros y facsímiles. Esta es una de las mejores colecciones del mundo de su tipo.
Declared a National Monument of Historic and Artistic Interest in1924, the Castle is the result of a long series of enlargements, refurbishments and additions ranging from the first one carried out near the square ground plan in the early 12th century, up to the last areas built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. As soon as Ponferrada became dependent on the Order of the Temple in 1178, by gift of the Kings of León, the Templar knights found a small fortress that originally acted as a Celtic settlement. The knights reinforced and rebuilt the walled enclosure in order to protect and guard the Way of St. Jame’s pilgrims ad defend the entrance to the Northwest area of the peninsula. The rehabilitates palace suites host now the permanent exhibition “Templum Libri” on books and facsimiles, graphic cart and authors collections. This is one of the world’s best collections of its kind.
Male Eurasian Green-winged Teal
Depending on who you talk to or what website you go on, the American and Eurasian are or are not the same species. The American has a vertical white stripe on the front side chest and the Eurasian has the horizontal white stripe on the top below the wing. To me it is a bird I have never seen or photographed. We saw two different birds at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.
Stainless steel sculpture by Liliane Lijn.
Originally created in 1982 for the Norwich Central Library, the multiple plates are suggestive of book leaves. The construction provokes other interpretations depending on the viewing angle.
It is now located outside another library, that of the University of East Anglia whose brutalist architecture forms its backdrop.
Lijn has pioneered kinetic art and experiments with light, movement, words, film, liquids and industrial materials.
Is this Bottle really Blue ?

Depending on season and weather, it's always a completely different view. The sun was hidden here behind a cover of clouds for a long time until it was visible just before sunset.
Sonnenuntergang an den Schrammsteinen - je nach Jahreszeit und Wetter immer ein völlig anderes Bild. Hier war die Sonne lange hinter einer geschlossenen Wolkendecke versteckt bis sie sich kurz vor dem Untergang doch noch sehen ließ.

Leur couleur dépend du nombre de bulles d'air emprisonnées dans la glace. En effet, dès qu'un rayon de soleil entre dans une des bulles, une partie de la lumière est réfléchie. ... Une partie seulement de la lumière est alors réfléchie, en particulier les longueurs d'ondes bleues.
Parce qu’ils sont faits de glace pure, avec peu de bulles d’air ,la lumière blanche qui pénètre l’iceberg subit une absorption sélective selon les longueurs d’ondes qui la constituent. Les grandes longueurs d’ondes, comme le jaune et le rouge, sont absorbées en premier, les courtes comme le bleu subsistent plus longtemps. A 30 m de fond, dans la glace, seul le bleu n’est pas totalement absorbé. De plus, en rebondissant sur les molécules de glace, les ondes subissent un important phénomène de diffusion. Les fréquences du bleu semblent alors amplifiées. La fraction de lumière qui ressort, privée de ses radiations rouges, donne sa couleur bleue à l’iceberg. Les icebergs blancs, eux, sont formés par accumulation de neige. Leur glace contient beaucoup de bulles d’air. La lumière pénètre peu, car elle se réfléchit à leur surface. Après une infinité de réflexions, la lumière ressort sans avoir subi d’absorption. Conséquence : elle est toujours blanche.
