Looking down my Hill in dappled sunshine, over the green pastures and the soon-to-bud indigenous broadleaf trees, yesterday…I was thinking about the peace and quiet, here - and the not so peaceful time in Ukraine.
Here, I was standing next to a huge 150+ year old badger sett, behind my house, in which, currently, there are lots of new mothers with tiny wee new cubs, huddled in the warmth and darkness.
The differences between the two scenes, one in front of me, and the other across a continent, was jarring and heart-wrenching.
Love and light, Ukraine. 💙💛

This Baroque church in Rome, built 1736-1751 by French architect Antoine Dérizet, is situated right by the Trajan Forum (hence the name) and is one of the two churches to do so. Its sibling is Santa Maria di Loreto al Foro Traiano. When you see them from outside (as you can here: www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/3277009085 - Nome di Maria is to the right) it is easy to take them to be twins rather, but the age-difference is actually 200 years.

”When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires, will come to you ”. 👱♀️🎧🎶 When You Wish Upon a Star ( from the movie Pinocchio, Cliff Edwards ). The image shows part of an icy candle lantern. When we have a really hard frost I make these lanterns as garden decorations in the winter. I freeze also flowers like tulips inside the lantern, as it is here.
I cani amano gli amici e mordono i nemici, a differenza degli esseri umani, che sono incapaci di amore puro e confondono l’amore con l’odio nelle loro relazioni.

Dogs love friends and bite enemies, a difference of humans, who are incapable of pure love and confuse love with hatred in their relationships.

I found this beautiful tree earlier this evening on a hiking tour along river Werre close my hometown Löhne. The whole day was a complete opposite to yesterday when I enjoyed a couple of hours fishing in beautiful sunshine with temperatures in the low twenties. Today the temperatures dropped significantly below ten and a cold Northern wind chilled the area. Nevertheless it was a great evening. Löhne, Ostwestfalen, Germany
The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...
Newspapers, radio and television reporting on deaths are occurring at an alarming and unreal rate and they are not getting better but worse, by the day! When are we going to do something to stop this situation? If our politicians will do nothing, we the people have to act and react!
Family is the most important unit and we need to cherish and protect it! We need to teach our own families about love, respect, understanding and compassion and how important it is for us to reach out to one another, listen, help and embrace our differences. Hate only brings misery and violence, which no family needs! Please Flickr artists help me address this problem and bring it to the forefront of our attention.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!

*** Walking alone takes courage
For it feels safer having people around
It feels nicer being surrounded by a friendly crowd, being popular.
Most of us want to be loved
Some work hard on being hated.
But walking your own path
Means burning your boats, your bridges
Sailing unsafe waters.
Independence is one high form of courage
Difference is one high form of strength.
*** Dedicated to those who are different,
do not obey,
do not conform,
do not accept,
do not bend,
do not break,
do not kneel,
do not follow,
do not capitulate,
declare YOUR independence, before it is taken from you.

My last minute entry to this week's Mastermind contest
Well my friends WELCOME to 2018 .A year of peace,joy and happiness.
A year made for manifestation and wishes fullfield but also for love,tolerance and kindness.
A year in which for the sake of humanity and of our own happiness we need to remember how to build bridges,unions and relationships instead of breaking them how we did last year.
A year thatt I know it can make all our dreams come true and the world a better place, if we can only stick together in a place of love and positivity and not allow personal fears,frustrations and failures to turn us one against each other.
A year in which I know we can really find the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,the courage to change what can be changed and the wisdom to know the difference if we understand the importance of it.
A year that I know it can become the best one ever no matter the cicumstances if we can only decide that it will be so and hold this decision in our hearths with love and faith all through our daily ups and downs.
Happy New Year!!! my friends.
And much peace&love to
you all!

"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't."
Henry Ward Beecher
I'm sure everyone has had that sort of a day....just feeling a bit obstinate. Apparently insects exhibit those feelings, too.
All sports of racket paddle, tennis, raquet ball, squash, ... ping pong.
Here I show the paddle because the one that can be practiced the most now and in Spain it is very popular.
Padel is a racquet sport.
Padel is typically played in doubles on an enclosed court roughly 25% smaller than the size of a tennis court. Scoring is the same as normal tennis and the balls used are similar but with a little less pressure. The main differences are that the court has walls and the balls can be played off them in a similar way as in the game of squash and that solid, stringless bats are used. The height of the ball being served must be at or below the waist level.

My guess is that this little guy was in fact a Solitary Sandpiper, actually this shot almost lines up with the allabout birds shot! Funny how similar they look to Lesser Yellow Legs - the only real difference in my uneducated opinion being size. I love the warm golden early morning light in this photo.
Im Spätherbst fuhr ich bereits schon einmal diesen Weg durch Thüringen. Es war damals ein trüber Morgen. Heute war ich kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang unterwegs...
Überwältigt vom Unterschied, den lediglich ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und ein imposanter Himmel machen können, muss ich euch hier noch mal beide Bilder zeigen!

I personally feel that if If we learn to embrace our differences we can appreciate our world better and acquire more knowledge and understanding through sharing and caring, so let us begin here!
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.

It's interesting to be able to compare the differences; the wings of the male on the right are more ragged that the female's and he is darker and brighter than her.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee are characters in an English nursery rhyme and in Lewis Carroll's 1871 book Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Their names may have originally come from an epigram written by poet John Byrom. The nursery rhyme has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19800. The names have since become synonymous in western popular culture slang for any two people who look and act in identical ways, generally in a derogatory context.
The words "Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee" make their first appearance in print as names applied to the composers George Frideric Handel and Giovanni Bononcini in "one of the most celebrated and most frequently quoted (and sometimes misquoted) epigrams", satirising disagreements between Handel and Bononcini, written by John Byrom (1692–1763): in his satire, from 1725. Some say, compar'd to BononciniThat Mynheer Handel's but a NinnyOthers aver, that he to HandelIs scarcely fit to hold a CandleStrange all this Difference should be'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee!
Although Byrom is clearly the author of the epigram, the last two lines have also been attributed to Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope. While the familiar form of the rhyme was not printed until around 1805, when it appeared in Original Ditties for the Nursery, it is possible that Byrom was drawing on an existing rhyme.
The characters are perhaps best known from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There (1871). Carroll, having introduced two fat little men named Tweedledum and Tweedledee, quotes the nursery rhyme, which the two brothers then go on to enact. They agree to have a battle, but never have one. When they see a monstrous black crow swooping down, they take to their heels. The Tweedle brothers never contradict each other, even when one of them, according to the rhyme, "agrees to have a battle". Rather, they complement each other's words, which led John Tenniel to portray them as twins in his illustrations for the book.

Rudbeckia /rʌdˈbɛkiə/ is a plant genus in the Asteraceae or composite family. Rudbeckia flowers feature a prominent, raised central disc in black, brown shades of green, and in-between tones, giving rise to their familiar common names of coneflowers and black-eyed-susans. All are native to North America, and many species are cultivated in gardens for their showy yellow or gold flower heads that bloom in mid to late summer.
The species are herbaceous, mostly perennial plants (some annual or biennial) growing to 0.5–3.0 m tall, with simple or branched stems. The leaves are spirally arranged, entire to deeply lobed, and 5–25 cm long. The flowers are produced in daisy-like inflorescences, with yellow or orange florets arranged in a prominent, cone-shaped head; "cone-shaped" because the ray florets tend to point out and down (are decumbent) as the flower head opens.
A large number of species have been proposed within Rudbeckia, but most are now regarded as synonyms of the limited list given below.
Several currently accepted species have several accepted varieties. Some of them (for example the black-eyed susan, R. hirta), are popular garden flowers distinguished for their long flowering times. Many cultivars of these species are known.
Rudbeckia is one of at least four genera within the flowering plant family Asteraceae whose members are commonly known as coneflowers; the others are Echinacea, Dracopis, and Ratibida.
Rudbeckia species are eaten by the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera species including cabbage moths and dot moths.
The name was given by Carolus Linnaeus to honor his patron and fellow botanist at Uppsala University, Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660-1740), as well as Rudbeck's late father Olof Rudbeck the Elder (1630-1702), a distinguished Naturalist, Philologist, and Doctor of Medicine (he had discovered the lymphatic system), and founder of Sweden's first botanic garden, now the Linnaean Garden at Uppsala. In 1730 Linnaeus had been invited into the home of the younger Rudbeck (now almost 70) as tutor his youngest children. Rudbeck had then recommended Linnaeus to replace him as a lecturer at the university and as the botanical garden demonstrator, even though Linnaeus was only in his second year of studies. In his book The Compleat Naturalist: A Life of Linnaeus, Wilfred Blunt quotes Linnaeus's dedication:
So long as the earth shall survive and as each spring shall see it covered with flowers, the Rudbeckia will preserve your glorious name. I have chosen a noble plant in order to recall your merits and the services you have rendered, a tall one to give an idea of your stature, and I wanted it to be one which branched and which flowered and fruited freely, to show that you cultivated not only the sciences but also the humanities. Its rayed flowers will bear witness that you shone among savants like the sun among the stars; its perennial roots will remind us that each year sees you live again through new works. Pride of our gardens, the Rudbeckia will be cultivated throughout Europe and in distant lands where your revered name must long have been known. Accept this plant, not for what it is but for what it will become when it bears your name.

“The only difference between an extraordinary life and an ordinary one is the extraordinary pleasures you find in ordinary things. “ - Veronique Vienne. Although this sunflower pales by comparison the vibrant hello ones we saw, it has it’s own extraordinary beauty. For Sliders Sunday, I kept the tones light with a warm edit and created a bit more blur in the background. Celebrate the simple pleasures.
A sunset panorama by Albert Wirtz here on Flickr recently inspired me to come here to the Moselle. Since we had a full moon at that time and the sky cleared late at night, I took the opportunity to visit this place.
Panorama consists of two rows, each with seven pictures.
The next time I make a multi-row panorama and clouds move slowly in the sky, I take the pictures with the zig zag method to avoid differences in reflection.
