A seaside resort was developed by Sir Richard Hotham in the late 18th century on what was a sand and gravel, undeveloped coastline. It has been claimed that Hotham and his new resort are portrayed in Jane Austen's unfinished novel Sanditon. The resort grew slowly in the first half of the 19th century but grew rapidly following the coming of the railway in 1864. In 1929 the area was chosen by advisors to King George V which led to its regal suffix, by royal consent. Butlin's has been present in the town since the early 1930s when an amusement park and zoo were opened. A holiday camp followed in 1960 and this has more recently moved towards hotel accommodation with modern amenities.

This is developed in DDG with the T2D tool using the sunset image I posted yesterday as a base. No further edits.
As you can see the structure of the image is almost identical. This is an impasto palette knife version with the emphasis on the light reflections and flaming colors. To me this is a lot more alike to what I saw than the camera image. The sky was ablaze!
Amaryllis 'Bingo' is a variety developed in Brazil.
It is a plant with conical flowers, large, beautiful and red in color.
Its foliage is also quite ornamental.

Snow Bunting - Plectrophenax Nivalis
Snow buntings are large buntings, with striking 'snowy' plumages. Males in summer have all white heads and underparts contrasting with a black mantle and wing tips. Females are a more mottled above. In autumn and winter birds develop a sandy/buff wash to their plumage and males have more mottled upperparts.
Globally, they breed around the arctic from Scandinavia to Alaska, Canada and Greenland and migrate south in winter. They are a scarce breeding species in the UK, in Scotland, making them an Amber List species. They are more widespread in winter in the north and east when residents are joined by continental birds.
They are listed under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act.
The snow bunting lives in very high latitudes in the Arctic tundra. There is no apparent limit to its northern range, while the southern range is limited by the duration of daylight, which influences their reproductive activity. This species is found in the high Arctic tundra of North America, Ellesmere Island, Iceland, higher mountains of Scotland, Norway, Russia, North Greenland, Siberia, Novaya Zemlya, and Franz Josef Land. During the winter, this bird migrates to the circumglobal northern temperate zone including the south of Canada, north of the United States, north of Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and east to central Asia. During the last ice age, the snow bunting was widespread throughout continental Europe.
During the breeding period the snow bunting looks for rocky habitats in the Arctic Since the vegetation in the tundra is low growing, this bird and its nestlings are exposed to predators, and in order to ensure the survival of its offspring, the snow bunting nests in cavities in order to protect the nestlings from any threat. During this period, buntings also look for a habitat rich in vegetation such as wet sedge meadows and areas rich in dryas and lichens. In the winter, they look for open habitats such as farms and fields where they feed on seeds in the ground.
Population:
UK breeding:
60 pairs
UK wintering:
10,000-15,000 birds
The sunset never really developed, but I'd taken so many photos already, that perhaps it was just as well. There are so many options on these beaches, you're never short of possibilities. Evidently chickentown, by John Cooper Clarke is fine, as it's got nothing to do with it, but it was ducks yesterday, so it's chickens today.

I was watching one of the log piles yesterday with my friend John, where I walk my Dog, when this tiny beauty was seen weaving in and out of the logs. The first one we have seen and been able to get photographs of. So you can imagine how excited we were. A great day and the perfect start to the weekend.
Size:
Pygmy Shrew 40-60 mm; tail 32-46 mm the Common Shrew size that I posted before being Size: 48-80mm, tail 24-44mm; tail less than 3/4 length of head and body.
Weight:
2.4-6.1g. Weight may decrease up to 28% in winter.
Diet:
They feed mainly on insects, arachnids and woodlice, requiring regular meals and eating up to 125% of their body weight in food daily. Unlike common shrews, they rarely eat earthworms.
Lifespan:
Peak mortality is at 2-4 months and the maximum lifespan is around 13 months.
Origin & Distribution:
Widespread throughout the mainland of Britain and Ireland, in most terrestrial habitats which offer sufficient ground cover. They are also found on the Isle of Man and Outer Hebrides, where common shrews are absent. Pygmy shrews are active day and night, largely above ground. They make and use "surface tunnels" in vegetation and will frequent burrows dug by other animals. They seem to be relatively more common on moorland than are common shrews.
Habitat:
Urban & gardens
Deciduous woodland
Grassland
Mixed woodland
Arable land
Behaviour:
As in all shrews, senses of smell, hearing and touch are well-developed. Pygmy shrews are solitary and aggressive towards conspecifics. Home ranges vary from around 500-2000 square metres, depending on habitat, with maximum densities of around 12 per hectare. Strict territoriality is only abandoned during the breeding season.
Breeding:
Pygmy shrews overwinter as immatures and breed between April and October, producing two or three litters of 5-7 young. Their main predators are owls and other avian predators, particularly those which hunt on moorland.
Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria Canadensis) is one of the earliest flowering plants to show up in forests and damp rich soil in my region.
This fragile spring flower develops and rises from the center of its curled leaf, opening in full sun, and closing at night. Like most members of the Poppy Family, it lasts for a relatively short time. The red juice from the underground stem was used by Native Americans as a dye for baskets, clothing, and war paint, as well as for insect repellent. The generic name, from the Latin sanguinarius, means "bleeding."
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) est l'une des premières plantes à fleurs à apparaître dans les forêts et les sols humides et riches de ma région.
Cette fleur printanière fragile se développe et s'élève du centre de sa feuille enroulée, s'ouvrant en plein soleil et se fermant la nuit. Comme la plupart des membres de la famille du coquelicot, il dure relativement peu de temps. Le jus rouge de la tige souterraine était utilisé par les Amérindiens comme colorant pour les paniers, les vêtements et la peinture de guerre, ainsi que comme insectifuge. Le nom générique, du latin sanguinarius, signifie «saignement».
Temps de Flors, Girona, España.
Breve historia de "Temps de Flors"
Un pequeño evento que se celebró en el Salón de Descanso del Ayuntamiento en 1954 se ha convertido en el gran festival internacional de Girona
La historia de Girona, Temps de Flors es también una historia de jóvenes emprendedores que en 1954 decidieron organizar una primera edición de lo que llamaron Concurso Exposición Provincial de Flores en el Salón de Descanso del Teatro Municipal. La buena respuesta y el interés de las personas que visitaron ese espacio entonces les empujó a sacar adelante un evento que se ha convertido en el gran festival internacional de Girona, una actividad que atrae a gente de todo el mundo.
El festival fue creciendo año tras año, tanto en lo que se refiere al espacio que lo acogía como por la implicación, cada vez mayor, de la ciudadanía y el tejido social de la ciudad. Del Salón de Descanso, que ese primer año ya quedó pequeño, se pasó a la Sala de Pergaminos de la Biblioteca Pública y después al Monasterio de Sant Pere de Galligants. Posteriormente, se pasó al convento y al claustro de Sant Domènec y más tarde, ya se empezó a extender por varios patios y jardines del Barri Vell, como la plaza de los Jurados, el claustro de la Catedral o los jardines de la plaza de Narcís Figueras.
La evolución del festival vivió un punto clave en 1979, cuando se organizó por primera vez en nombre de la Asociación de los Amigos de las Flores y de los Jardines. Más adelante, en 1983, se implicó también la Asociación de Amigos de la Girona Antiga, que consiguió la apertura de muchos otros patios y jardines particulares que durante el resto del año permanecían cerrados al público. En 1992, el Ayuntamiento de Girona se implicó definitivamente en la organización. La conjunción de estos hechos supuso un salto cualitativo y cuantitativo determinante para la proyección del festival.
Durante más de seis décadas Rosa Maria Labayen, David Marca y Josep Tarrés mantuvieron el espíritu tradicional de la reconocida muestra floral, el evento que enorgullece a todos los gerundenses y gerundenses. Ellos consiguieron que sea un icono imprescindible de la ciudad y es a quien se debe el verdadero éxito de Girona, Temps de Flors.
A Brief History of Temps de Flors
A small event held in the City Hall's Lounge in 1954 has become Girona's major international festival.
The history of Girona, Temps de Flors is also a story of young entrepreneurs who, in 1954, decided to organize the first edition of what they called the Provincial Flower Exhibition and Competition in the Lounge of the Municipal Theatre. The positive response and interest from visitors encouraged them to develop an event that has become Girona's major international festival, an activity that attracts people from all over the world.
The festival grew year after year, both in terms of the venue and the increasing involvement of the city's citizens and social fabric. From the Lounge, which became too small that first year, it moved to the Parchment Room of the Public Library and later to the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. Later, the festival moved to the convent and cloister of Sant Domènec, and subsequently expanded to various courtyards and gardens in the Barri Vell (Old Quarter), such as Plaça dels Jurats, the Cathedral cloister, and the gardens of Plaça de Narcís Figueras.
The festival's evolution reached a pivotal point in 1979, when it was first organized by the Association of Friends of Flowers and Gardens. Later, in 1983, the Association of Friends of Old Girona also became involved, securing the opening of many other private courtyards and gardens that remained closed to the public for the rest of the year. In 1992, the Girona City Council definitively became involved in the organization. The convergence of these events represented a decisive qualitative and quantitative leap for the festival's growth.
For over six decades, Rosa Maria Labayen, David Marca, and Josep Tarrés maintained the traditional spirit of the renowned flower show, an event that fills all the residents of Girona with pride. They made it an essential icon of the city, and it is thanks to them that Girona, Temps de Flors (Girona Flower Festival) truly succeeds.

Valle de Malpaso is a viewpoint over the idyllic landscape and valley of Haria, place of 1000 palm trees, in the northeast of Lanzarote. This viewing point has now been developed for tourism and a glass platform has been built, as I read earlier.
Valle de Malpaso ist ein Aussichtspunkt über der idyllischen Landschaft und dem Tal von Haria, Ort der 1000 Palmen, im Nordosten von Lanzarote. Inzwischen ist dieser Aussichtspunkt touristisch erschlossen und eine Glasplattform errichtet worden, wie ich vorhin gelesen habe.
Developed in 1919 by the damming of the Wateree River, it is one of South Carolina's oldest man-made lakes. It has 181 miles (291 km) of shoreline and includes Lake Wateree State Park, a bird refuge, and Shaw Air Force Base Recreation Center.

A common beautiful starling found in our region pretty much everywhere in the countryside during all the seasons. They are social birds and always seen in flocks often on trees, sometimes foraging on the ground or chasing each other. These, along with Myna and Pied Starlings are a regular sighting in all the seasons.
Sighted this next to lake embankment where a variety of birds are sighted. The place has a lot of nests and this one just landed on the rock as we were exiting the place. The plumage is not still developed and the head lacks the long black braids seen in the adults.
Thanks in advance for all your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
This yellow Ferrari 512M (S/N 1002) was originally sold to Escuderia Montjuich in April 1970, and competed in the Le Mans 24 hours that year wearing number 35 during the test sessions and number 9 in the race.
The 512 was seen as a response by Ferrari to the dominance of Porsche in sports car racing, and was developed over an intense 9 month period to be ready for the 1970 Le Mans 24 hours. For the 1970 race, there were 12 Ferrari 512's entered in a mix of official, manufacturer backed teams and privateers.

Buchen-Weberbock (Lamia textor)
The beech longhorn beetle is a large, rather rare longhorn beetle belonging to the family Cerambycidae. It measures approximately 15–30 mm in length and is distinguished by its long antennae and its grayish-brown camouflage coloration.
Key characteristics:
- primarily inhabits old beech trees and other deciduous trees
- larvae develop over several years within decaying wood
- adult beetles are mostly crepuscular and nocturnal
- plays an important role in the decomposition of deadwood within the forest ecosystem
The beech longhorn beetle is considered rare in many regions and serves as an indicator of old-growth, semi-natural forests.
--------------------------------------------------------
Der Buchen-Weberbock ist ein großer, eher seltener Bockkäfer aus der Familie der Langhornkäfer. Er wird etwa 15–30 mm lang und fällt durch seine langen Fühler sowie die graubraune Tarnfärbung auf.
Typisch:
- lebt vor allem an alten Buchen und anderen Laubbäumen
- die Larven entwickeln sich mehrere Jahre im morschen Holz
- erwachsene Käfer sind meist dämmerungs- und nachtaktiv
- wichtig für den Abbau von Totholz im Waldökosystem
Der Buchen-Weberbock gilt in vielen Regionen als selten und ist ein Zeichen für naturnahe, alte Wälder.

Close to the station at the Nature Reserve, a pair of Common Black Hawks was building a nest while we were there. I still find it quite surprising to see such a black bird in a tropical climate zone (not the only species, if you think of black vultures or other vultures for that matter). They have developed a number of behavioral adaptations to dealing with heat - panting, staying in the shadow when perched and roosting, panting to dissipate heat, drooping their wings, and I also read they actively provide shade for their eggs to protect them from direct sunlight.

Ningú havia vist aquestes fotos fins ara, sobretot els que les varen fer. Fins que jo les he revelat ara.
Aquestes finestres son la única imatge visible d'un rodet en un horrible estat de conservació. No només s'havia mullat completament en algun moment (el paper estava completament enganxat a la pel·licula), sino arrugat en més d'un punt, quasi no el vaig poder carregar al revelador.
S'anomena "found film" a aquelles fotografies en pel•licula o placa que es troben sense revelar dins càmeres velles o per altres racons. La gracia és que ningú ha vist mai aquestes fotografies.
Aquest rodet prové un conjunt comprat a algú de Barró, prop d'Angulema, a França.
Aquest rodet, de format 120, de Kodak Verichrome, i pertant segurament exposat entre els anys 40 i 50 (es produí entre 1931 i 1956). El vaig revelar amb HC110 uns 10 minuts.
===================================================
Nobody, even less the author, had seen these pictures until now. Until I've developed them in the dark room.
This façade is the only useable picture in a quite damaged roll of film. It had been completely damp at some point (the backing paper was glued to the film), and it was wrinkled so I almost couldn't load into the reel. The pictures were probably taken in the 40's or 50's of the XX Century.
They call "found film" at those images in film or plates that are find undeveloped inside old cameras or in other places, like boxes or old houses.
This film is part of a large pack I bought in the internet from somebody in Barro, near Angouleme, France.
This one was a 127 format Kodak Verichrome film, produced from 1931 to 1956; stand developed with HC110 in c.10 minutes.
