Brown Hare - Lepus europaeus

Norfolk

Double Click to view

The brown hare is known for its long, black-tipped ears and fast running - it can reach speeds of 45mph when evading predators. It prefers a mosaic of farmland and woodland habitats and can often be spotted in fields.

Thought to have been introduced into the UK in Roman Times (or even earlier), the brown hare is now considered naturalised. It is most common in grassland habitats and at woodland edges, favouring a mosaic of arable fields, grasses and hedgerows. It grazes on vegetation and the bark of young trees and bushes. Brown hares do not dig burrows, but shelter in 'forms', which are shallow depressions in the ground or grass; when disturbed, they can be seen bounding across the fields, using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Brown hares are at their most visible in early spring when the breeding season encourages fighting or 'boxing'. Females can produce three to four litters of two to four young (known as leverets) a year.

Widespread, but absent from northern Scotland and the Scottish islands, except Islay, I'm reliably informed.

I took this at Deer River, which goes to show that even the most gorgeous places can be home to subtle as well. Read about Deer River here on on my blog.

I'm starting a new series in which I try to portray different mental disorders, or the emotions of the person affected behind them.

Today depression.

It's weird how and when depression can hit you, because sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Sometimes everything can be going great in your life, better than they've ever been, and out of no where wham! Like a big rig slamming into you it just hits, you don't know why, there's nothing "wrong", nothing happened, you just all of a sudden feel down.

It's hard to even talk about, because what is there to say? Someone asks what's wrong, and the only response that really comes to mind is "I don't know". What do you do when it hits, when you're not a person who goes through it regularly enough to have a fix ready? When you're someone who doesn't take medication, or have a therapist, and you're just all of a sudden just feeling like complete and utter shit despite nothing you can think of being wrong?

I have answers for a lot of life's questions, I try to share them with you every day to help those who need it, this though is one I still haven't figured out.

The gentle depression of the ancient earthwork, Grimms Ditch, leads through the land of the beech trees. Love how those on the slope gently curve upwards making for some wonderful compositions. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.

Crinum is a genus of about 180 species of perennial plants that have large showy flowers on leafless stems, and develop from bulbs. They are found in seasonally moist areas, including marshes, swamps, depressions and along the sides of streams and lakes in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. Crinum leaves are basal, typically long and strap-shaped, with colors ranging from light green to green. Several species are used in aquariums. The flowers are carried in dense clusters that contain 10 to 25 white flowers. Individual blooms are 10 centimetres across and perfumed. Flower clusters are on stalks about 50 centimetres long. Seeds are 2-5 centimetres in diameter with a beak. 19060

Hakuba is a municipality located to the north of Azumino Valley. It is in the same tectonic depression called Fossa Magna (Itoigawa - Shizuoka Tectonic Line) as Azumino and Suwa, but in the different watershed of the Himekawa (姫川) river that rises in Hakuba and flows northward into the Sea of Japan. Hakuba municipality calls the watershed Hakuba Valley.

Hakuba Valley is famous for the heavy snowfall in winter that is caused by the northwestern monsoon across the Sea of Japan. It is only 50km to Itoigawa (糸魚川) in Niigata prefecture (新潟県) on the Japan Sea coast. Hakuba and Otari (小谷), its northern neighbour, heavily depend on ski tourism.

St John's Wort, herb and flower, with wasps a dabbler in its exotic substances. Hypericum perforatum is an invasive plant species, grows rapidly. It is used to treat depression in humans, but has many side effects. Biologically, it can produce a lot of metabolic effects.

I've never seen a shadow who has a human:-) It's always nice to twist things a bit.

I took 32 images of this composition, I achieved this photo after the 6th image and another 26 images chasing a recreation of the effect, I didn’t, I came close but no cigar. I didn’t envisage this photo before I took it, it was the result of experimentation. The composition of a single exposed rock was chosen to line up with mist muted sun radiating across the sea using a reverse ND grad. Right exposure but the shutter speed was too fast so I added a 6 stop ND filter, this slowed the shutter speed from 1/10 of a sec to 1.3 seconds with a couple of tweaks of the ISO, then hey pesto this lovely whirlpool effect around the rock, as soon the dark image flashed on the lcd I knew I had something, it was a bit different and so I found out not to be repeated. Have a nice weekend.

on the verge of depression

Since last night I'm feeling quite depressive because of the never ending nonsense named 'lockdown'.

Now everybody can proof that there isn't and wasn't a pandemic situation at all;

but governments don't end their course!

My power slowly goes away ...

♫ LISTEN ♫

When It All Falls Down.

The darkness tries taking over me at night

I’m not afraid anymore

I walked through the fire and I made it, I made it.

Got myself up off the floor

I was locked in a cage of my own damn state of mind

Depression don’t you call

Depression don’t you call

You’ll get a busy tone

The darkness tries takin over me at night

‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.

Yeah

When it all falls

I’m not ashamed anymore

When my light fades away, I won’t fake it, won’t fake it

Cause now I know I’m not alone

Everybody got their own shit, bad days, pain to face

Depression makes you small

Until you see you’re powerful

The darkness tries takin over me at night

‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.

Yeah

The darkness tries takin over me at night

‘Oooh’ No warnin’ when it all falls down.

Yeah

When it all falls down.

depression

This can be a tough time of the year for many people.

I know the devastation that depression can do to you and your loved ones.

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.

Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given year. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately 40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have depression.

Kalopsia and i thank you for your visits and kind words . We appreciated and they meant a lot to us. .

I walked alone in my depression, someone followed me and surprised me.

*I'm wearing...*

My depressive peak that has been devastating me for several weeks seems to be coming to an end. It's a hard work on myself, and I wouldn't have the strength without my loved ones, and psychological help.

Pascal Quignard said that the only cure for depression is depression. To say it differently, I would say that the scars left by it are like the golden joints of the art of Kintsugi.

Thank you very much, Jerry Jones!)

A southbound manganese concentrate train from Bolivia begins the climb from one salar (salt depression) to another, larger one, just south of here.

It took about 45 minutes to cross the eight-mile tangent across the salar in the background before reaching the base of the grade around the corner.

The wicked wind all day on this portion of the line was in the 30-40mph range with higher gusts. It felt like someone was sandblasting your face standing on the edge of these slopes.
