The Hereios are playing spot the difference today! There had to be at least 5 differences and depending on how picky you are, there are waaaaaay more than that.
I decided to combine it with Bench Monday today since it's Monday and to top it off those of us here in Manitoba have the day off Courtesy of Louis Reil Day. Not long ago a local radio station started a petition to create a holiday in february...hence the free day.
Why i decided that 70km winds with blowing snow would be a perfect day to play this outside I have no idea. It was fun though and along out way to the park we got to play our favourite blizzard game! Let's see how many people we can push out of the massive drifts that accumulate every time it snows! :D
And to keep in theme with the February Alphabet fun; R is for running room jacket, royal blue, red slide and really, really frickin' windy!
HBM!!
"Sillä minä olen varma siitä,
ettei kuolema eikä elämä,
ei enkelit eikä henkivallat,
ei nykyiset eikä tulevaiset,
ei voimat,
ei korkeus eikä syvyys,
eikä mikään muu luotu
voi meitä erottaa
Jumalan rakkaudesta,
joka on Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa,
meidän Herrassamme"
"Ty jag är viss om att
varken död eller liv,
varken änglar eller andefurstar,
varken något som nu är eller något som skall komma,
varken någon makt i höjden
eller någon makt i djupet,
ej heller något annat skapat
skall kunna skilja oss
från Guds kärlek
i Kristus Jesus,
vår Herre."
"For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers,
nor height, nor depth,
nor any other created thing,
will be able to separate us
from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.."
Rom. 8:38-39
Atom and nuclear weapons in use are a force movement.
God power is invisible spiritual power that is not disturbed.
It's like when you dive in water or against waves underwater,
the water reconnects.
Has sun storm, hurricane or nuclear weapon rubbed on God?
No!

I think this is a mushroom. Wonder about the coral/toothed mushrooms but have not found its match yet.
What a difference a few seconds make compared to the fast water shot. This is a slice of the Grandfather "falls" downstream of the dam with 3 flood gates partially open. The roar is incredible and the flow impressive.
Students, take note. You can tell the difference between a wife and a cat by the way they respond to hugs and being held.
In other news, I am glad Jamie is home. And Shadow is glad that I am (because I feed him).
Another thing about the natural world I don't really know is the difference between the million different kinds of insects, so I don't know if this is a kind of wasp or a kind of bee. I know it was focused enough on this goldenrod that it didn't care how close I got to take the picture.
of 9 years and a country.
The one on the left is dated 1960 and its in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania. I did not remember having this snap but found it amongst the pictures my mother collected.
The other is from 1969 somewhere in the English countryside.
There is a funny story attached to the first one. In my penultimate year in high school we went on a school trip. A very posh affair with two wooden benches on top of an open lorry. The lorry was not in the best of shapes and on the rather steep mountain road its coolant went on the boil. We stopped to let it cool down. We all got off and milled round the lorry with the exception of yours truly and his girlfriend. We decided to venture into the forest supposedly to look for berries. We got so engrossed into each other that we did not realize that the rest of the group left, leaving us stranded.
With little choice we started walking up the mountain road having no idea as to how far we were from our destination. I kept reassuring my girlfriend that I was familiar with the place - although I omitted the fact that I was only four when I last been there.
So there we were dragging ourselves up the road when we heard a noise behind us. A peasant was bringing his horses up to pastures for the summer. After some cajoling he agreed to let us ride with him. It would be really funny if someone would have filmed the scene. Neither of us have ever mounted a horse before and these animals had never been saddled but we were willing and they were docile.
I can't recall how long it took us, but I do remember that for several days afterwards all our mates were collapsing with laughter at the site of us 'walking'.
Nevertheless, its one of those sweet and unforgettable memories.

I was initially dismayed to find that the Morandi Museum was having a show of Wayne Thiebaud's paintings, as his work is easily and frequently seen where I live in California - and I really don't care for it.
However, it was only one or two rooms of the museum and the Thiebauds were very thoughtfully integrated with the Morandis. Specifically, Morandis and Thiebauds were paired or otherwise displayed side by side and it was quite interesting to see the similarities and differences (besides the obvious ones of saturation and color). The Thiebauds gained some interest for me in this context, though my overall preference for the Morandis did not change.
I meant to make one drawing showing these two pieces side by side, as they were exhibited. As per usual, however, I started out drawing too big, and had to do them separately. Interestingly, it was much harder to do the Morandi in black and white, because of the subtle tonal differences in the original.
Twenty representatives from vegetable processing and seed companies gathered in November to evaluate 160 varieties of peas, snap beans and sweet corn grown in research trials at Cornell's New York State Agricultural Experiment Station.

The fall leaves on this photo are a great touch to a piece that is a highlight of the Plaza that we are all familiar with. I am excited for winter and snowy peaks and crisp mornings. I sure love the seasons here in Colorado. God Bless America
Size of bee makes a difference, even in terms of what bees get studied. Large bees attract even the non-biologists attention and thus Carpenter Bees and Bumblebees are well known around the world. Small bees, that don’t bother or sting us can remain unstudied despite their abundance. Our eyes can’t resolve the differences in bees as small as these 2-5mm Old World Minibees, thus their identification become microscrope work for the specialist, and because many of their populations are in remote areas there is much to learn about what can locally be a very common bee. Small bees can effectively use (and therefore pollinate) small flowers and it doesn’t take that much pollen to raise a Minibee’s young. Thus across the world, the density of small bees often greatly exceeds that of that large bees we more often study. Certainly there are more species in this group to discover for the dedicated bee taxonomist.
So small is the unidentified Kyrgyzstani specimen seen here that it had to be glued to the side of an insect pin that is normally placed through the body of a bee to hold it in place. The lovely wing patterns seen here are called “Wing Interference Patterns” and created by the varying thicknesses of this insects thin wing membranes.

Further in Summer than the Birds
Pathetic from the Grass
A minor Nation celebrates
Its unobtrusive Mass.
No Ordinance be seen
So gradual the Grace
A pensive Custom it becomes
Enlarging Loneliness.
Antiquest felt at Noon
When August burning low
Arise this spectral Canticle
Repose to typify
Remit as yet no Grace
No Furrow on the Glow
Yet a Druidic Difference
Enhances Nature now
-- Emily Dickinson
