How about something spectacular for a Wednesday, something that can hold you through a few days of what may be boring in comparison. This is a group of barrel cactus, each with two or more blossoms and it seems, every one a different color of shade. While I love it, this group drove me crazy!
It was overcast on the morning I got this shot. The forecast was that this would be the last of the hot days for a while, and that has bearing on any photos of cacti because cacti blooms when it's hot, not necessarily when it's sunny.
With dappled sunlight on patches of flowers, every time I moved a couple of feet, the colors would change. And composition which included these colors meant that I was going to have to include some blossoms that I ordinarily would leave out. That didn't matter: there was no way to exclude any flowers. Look at the difference in the shading of the petals of the center flowers compared with the waxy look of the outside blooms.
Today, May 12, the third day in a row with temperatures only in the low 80s, not one of these flowers were open, and many had dropped.
This was going to be the oxymoronic 20 minute snapshot! That's what it took. Perhaps I could just say, you had to be there...
A storm fast approaching showing the difference in light and cloud formation. Mother Nature at her beautiful best.
The difference between the morning temperature and the midday one is very huge!
When the sun is up it still looks like summer!
We were at the park here! With this usual abandoned and metallic thing! I think I’m the only one who find it useful!
The sky was beautiful and I needed to put it in my camera!
Lassie and I wish you all Happy Sunday from our blue sky (we’re sitting on a cloud just to be closer to the sky!!!!...yes, usual madness… :D )
PS
yes....it's better!
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
- Sarah McLachlan
"Peace does not mean the suppression of all differences, but their coexistence and fruitful collaboration. Peace does not consist in one man, one party, one nation, crushing and dominating everyone else. Peace exists where men who have the power to be enemies are, instead, friends by reason of the sacrifices they have made in order to meet one another on a higher level, where the differences between them are no longer a source of conflict.”
-Thomas Merton (The Monastic Journey, pp.41)
Not a photo from today as it was rainy and cloudy all day. Heidi is in a bad mood, but the rain is very welcome. Spring has been too dry and warm here.
Anyway, this flower is called bugle (Ajuga reptans) and according to Wikipedia it "has been used in traditional Austrian medicine internally as a tea for the treatment of disorders related to the respiratory tract." I'm glad I decided to read a bit more before stocking up on Ajuga reptans. According to German Wikipedia it's only good for diarrhea, and given the big difference in symptoms I stopped looking further into it 😄
Benoît est un adulte que j'accompagne en tant qu'éducateur depuis plus dix ans..c'est un homme lumineux..Merci a lui et à sa mère de me permettre de poster ce portrait dont je suis particulièrement fiert...
Benoît is the man... I host him since more than ten years in the adult handicap center I worked..A bright man...
Taken on the Pass of Glencoe, looking up at part of the Three Sisters, I was quite taken by the difference in colour at the snowline. The harsh rock given two different treatments by nature.
First, let me say how much I've enjoyed your company throughout 2024, to date; and wish those enjoying this nearing festive season a very good one, and to all a happy 2025!

Turning to the shot, it's the 6th one posted of the Sarawak, Borneo, Cave Series.
The focus of this shot is on Stalactites in difference to the previous shot on the "Jellyfish-like Stalagmite".
Indeed, the shot, also taken in the Deer Cave, literally captures a "Gallery of Stalactites" that we nearly walked into. This was despite the lighting well-placed along the boardwalks and in the cave terrain, making the Gallery of Stalactites" very picturesque, as one can see.
To recall, stalactites, as well as stalagmites, are both icicle-shaped mineral deposits that form in caves Stalactites grow downwards from the ceilings while Stalagmites grow upwards from the floor. When they grow large enough to touch and grow together, they form a column that reaches from the floor to the ceiling.

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Can you feel the difference in the words we say?
I know you feel this difference and I won't go away
'Cause I have something you want, I have something you want
And I have something you want, I have something you want
I heard you been looking for me
Heard you been looking for me, yeah...

When my mother-in-law passed away a few years ago, a close friend gave my partner and I a standard Brindabella Pink Bouquet rose to remember her by. She loved flowers, especially roses, so it was the perfect choice! Pink Bouquet was bred by Sylvia and John Gray of Brindabella Country Gardens Nurseries in Queensland in 2009 and introduced it into the Australian market in 2011 and the United States market through Sun-Fire Nurseries in 2018.
The theme for Smile on Saturday for the 21st of November is “flora in monotone”. The rules for this theme advise that the monotone cannot be black and white, so I have chosen a deep blue instead, which is not too dissimilar to the Blue Moon breed of roses, although I promise you that this is not a Blue Moon rose!
With ruffled blooms, as the name suggests, this rose is a beautiful soft pink, however what you don’t tend to notice with colour photography is the almost imperceptible spattered petal edges. The colour difference is not so different to the main pink hue of the rose. Yet here in monotone blue, it is very evident. With over forty petals per bloom, I love the shape of this rose’s centre as it slowly reveals itself to us in what is eventually a very full bloom. It seemed the right choice for the theme this week.
The Damme Canal (French: Canal de Damme. Dutch: Damse Vaart or Napoleonvaart) is a canal in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The canal links Bruges with the Western Scheldt at Sluis (now across the frontier in The Netherlands). It was constructed on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte who wished to create a canal network in order to permit the efficient transport of troops without the risk of disruptive interventions from the British navy.
Following the defeat of Napoleon, the original strategic imperative for the canal was removed. The plans in the Napoleonic era had called for a link to the Scheldt at Breskens. Half a century later the canal opened to traffic in 1856, and the link with the sea had moved to Sluis.
At Damme the canal crosses the Leopold Canal and the Schipdonk Canal, both of which were dug in the middle years of the nineteenth century in order to reduce the vulnerability of the Belgian canal network to Dutch interference, after the achievement in 1830 of Belgian independence. It was necessary to create a system of Siphons because of the differences in water level of the three canals. The canal was used until 1940 when French troops destroyed the siphon system: this put an end to maritime transport on the Damme Canal.
After war use of the canal resumed, but it was used now by pleasure boats, along with a tourist boat connecting Damme and Bruges.
We are all afraid. The difference is in the question: afraid of what? Frank Thiess

For my untrained eyed there is little difference between
Red-necked and Wilson's Phalaropes so if I am incorrect please correct me. Both have been reported at this location recently but few Wilson's Phalaropes have been reported compared to Red-necked Pahlaropes but the half dozen or so that I saw up close seemed to be Wilson's. I am posting 3 photos and believe that 5 different birds are represented in these photos.
I noticed that I put a number of photos at this location in the wrong place on the mapand can't figure out how to move them to the correct place without deleting that photo and starting over. This one is in incorrect location. IMG_1303
A member of the leaf warbler family, the beautiful olive and yellow Willow Warbler is also one of our most widespread.
A summer visitor to the Britain & Ireland, the Willow Warbler’s cascading, liquid song can be heard from mid-April and is arguably one of the most beautiful sounds of the spring. Willow Warblers can be found breeding across Britain & Ireland.
The Willow Warbler population has experienced mixed fortunes in the UK, where it is Amber-listed. It is declining across England and Wales but increasing in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is thought that the northern populations winter in a slightly different area from the southern birds and that this difference might contribute to the overall UK trend.
There is little difference between the spring and fall plumages of the adults of this species. It can be difficult to age and sex this species and it can be safely done in fall only at the extremes of plumage. The dullest plumage is the first fall female and the individual at the bottom is a good representative of that. Notice the olive and yellow and how low contrasty the bird is. There is some slight contrast between the extreme forehead near the beak along with the area just above the eye compared to the more olive crown and back. There is no bright yellow anywhere. The eye line is not as black and the wing bars are much thinner. The beak of all fall birds of this species is lighter in the fall but the first fall female beak is a pinkish brown.
The bird on top is probably a fall adult male. There is lots of contrast between the olive and yellow areas including the forecrown area. The wing bars are thicker and the eye line is unquestionably black. First fall males and adult females are intermediate in plumage between these two and some of those may at their extremes closely resemble the bird on top.
My ID skills for the sulphurs are not too good, especially the difference between Orange Sulphur and Clouded Sulphur. But my computer was almost certain this was an Orange. So that's my story and I'm sticking with it. 😂

One man preaching his religious beliefs and one man in strong disagreement. The guy threw his coat down, squared up to the preacher and shouted at him numerous times. He was animated and angry. Every time the preacher said "Jesus loves you", it riled up the guy even more. His reaction, although excessive in trying to grab the microphone, was understandable when you heard him shouting about his experiences. How he, as a serving soldier, saw his friends blown to pieces on the battlefield and how he could find no belief in religion after all he had seen. The encounter ended peacefully after this moment and the ex-soldier apologised to the crowd that had gathered as he walked away.
last bit of warm light down Glen Etive with Buachaille Etive Mor in the cold light. A hint of light reflected in the semi frozen river.
Check out the smile. THAT is the difference between Poody and Snotty Bottom.
