Milkweeds are commonly infested by the oleander aphid, Aphis nerii. These little insects suck the sap out of stems, leaves, and can cause flowers and pods to abort, and can even kill plants. They concentrate milkweed toxins in their tissue more effectively than native milkweed aphids, and studies have shown that beneficial insects are less effective at controlling them. Aphids can be many colors, such as green, black, brown, pink, yellow, white, and blue (really?) and even furry ( wooly aphids ).

The Japanese beetle: a gleaming menace that devours our gardens and invades the landscape. An invading intruder that no one wants to see and that is unwelcome.

Japanese beetles are a serious pest for agriculture, landscaping, and turf management, causing significant damage to ornamental plants, fruit crops, and lawns. Their invasive nature and broad diet make them a persistent challenge for gardeners and farmers.

Love Like Destruction ( Rocky Wallace)

The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

I've seen many forests destroyed by human and his brainless greediness, but this one, located in National Park of High Tatras was affected by several natural disasters, like severe storms and fires. Spruce forests in Smokovec are recovering slowly and hopefully, one day, they will restore their previous glory.

Reworking on an old 2011 shot of a couple of the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road in Australia.

The southern ocean takes its toll on these wonderful limestone sea stacks each year, eroding them further so that eventually they all crumble into the sea.

This post features a hud. The hud is a Combat Hud inspired by Dragon Ball Super anime character beerus, which causes big explosions and damage! Very fun to have.

When you accept violence

When you accept things against your own conscience

When you let yourself be hurt

When you do what you know you don't like:

Then you lose yourself

You shatter into a thousand pieces

And you are not alive.

The purpose of this photo is to leave this message. Think about it.

With so many being homeless and in utter torment for their lives this year throughout the world I thought it appropriate to give a shout out to them and tell them that we on Flickr really care! And I want to especially thank Robbi Robbins (brillianthues) for allowing me to use one of her beautiful works.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Four and a half miles out from Ruby beach towers an island in the shape of a skeletal human hand. It's 80' above sea level and 33 acres around. On this sunless day the name didn't help its gloomy appearance accentuated by an abandoned 92' lighthouse standing darkly in the distance like something straight out of the Lord of the Rings. The reefs around the island are known to have claimed three ships over the years, but that's not where the name came from. In the late 1700's two different ships twelve years apart sent a long boat to shore to collect wood and water, neither returned.

Today, visiting the island is prohibited to all but research scientists who go there to check up on what is almost the Tufted Puffin's last stand in Washington State. They make their homes by burrowing into the loose soil atop the sandstone beneath and have no natural predators as there are no eagles or hawks out there.

For you Fresnel Lens fans, the original light, in service from 1892-1995, was rescued and is preserved and displayed at the Westport Maritime Museum. It's beautiful.

This saw blade is less than a mm thick.

Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Xenon 28 mm F2" lens on a Canon EOS R5.

These colorful red beetles are known as Scarlet Lily Beetles ( Lilioceris lilii ). They are most destructive among lilies and can defoliate a whole plant in days.

Thank goodness I sprayed after this photo was taken, because we have several varieties of lilies in our gardens.

I've always wanted to drive the Natchez Trace, and was finally able to do so. Just north of Jackson, Mississippi this lone bald cypress in the water caught my eye. If you ever get a chance to drive the Trace, it's a two lane road of gorgeousness, actually through a national park, with a 50 mph speed limit. There are miles and miles of destruction, too, where a tornado tore through and left the forest stripped and haunting. And, you might also see the occasional deer. Make sure you have your favorite music available, sit back, and let the beauty feed your soul.

Many thanks to you !!

Man, do not pride yourself on your superiority to the animals, for they are without sin, while you, with all your greatness, you defile the earth wherever you appear and leave an ignoble trail behind you -- and that is true, alas, for almost every one of us!
