There was a time, there was always a time. A time when she was nothing more than a figure in the crosshairs of some scope, years had passed with this being the case. Something had changed, a point of no return... he wasn't just a thick headed marine anymore following orders, he was here by his own free will.
There are only 3-colors, 10-digits, and 7-notes in my life now but not too long ago those numbers were each in trillions.
Funny how one person can make all that difference.
вид ядовитых грибов в семействе Строфариевых порядка Агариковых.
Галерина окаймлённая содержит аматоксины. Эти токсины принадлежат к семейству бициклических производных октапептидов, состоящих из кольца аминокислота, соединённого атома серы и характеризующихся различиями в своих боковых группах. Эти соединения ответственны более чем за 90 % смертельных отравлений грибами у человека.
Galerina marginata is a species of poisonous fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae of the order Agaricales. Prior to 2001, the species G. autumnalis, G. oregonensis, G. unicolor, and G. venenata were thought to be separate due to differences in habitat and the viscidity of their caps, but phylogenetic analysis showed that they are all the same species.
The toxins found in Galerina marginata are known as amatoxins. Amatoxins belong to a family of bicyclic octapeptide derivatives composed of an amino acid ring bridged by a sulfur atom and characterized by differences in their side groups; these compounds are responsible for more than 90% of fatal mushroom poisonings in humans.
What a difference a day makes; last Friday I was at a press call for the Moscow State Circus and the on Saturday I photographed a massive Orange Lodge march through Johnstone involving over 40 bands (it took at least 40 minutes to pass my viewpoint). While most people probably think that such marches are only held in Northern Ireland they are very much part of life here in Scotland as well as in parts of England. The weather was kind for once, if not a little too sunny given the length of their march, marching all round the town while playing their instruments and carrying their various banners is no mean feat!!
Eurasian Sparrowhawk (accipiter nisus) flight_w_1958
If there's one thing that defines the Eurasian Sparrowhawk, apart from its skills and dexterity during flight, it's its loyalty to its partner throughout its life.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk may not be a 100% monogamous bird. Sometimes in the life of the sparrowhawk there may be situations where one member of the pair disappears, for whatever reason.
According to studies, every year, established sparrowhawk pairs remain steady, as long as the richness of their territory is maintained. If the prey is scarce, both partners look for a new territory nearby in which to settle together and build the nest.
The main reason why a pair of hawks separates is because of the lack of offspring. First, when a pair fails to have chicks, the first thing they do is change territory.
If the following year the couple also fails to conceive, it’s usually the female that goes in search of a new territory and a new partner. The male tends to stay in the old territory and look for a new female to reproduce with there.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk isn’t one of the fastest birds of prey, as it’s outpaced by birds such as the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), which can travel at up to 240 miles per hour. However, the 75 miles per hour that sparrowhawks can reach are nothing to laugh at.
Like all birds of the Falconidae family, these animals are extremely fast and agile in flight. Their capacity makes them skillful predators of small, fast prey.
And here's something else:
We know that weaker and sicker animals are easier prey in nature. If a mammal limps, a bird flies poorly or demonstrates changes in its behavior that expose it more to predation, it’s very likely that it’ll be hunted rather than a healthy and strong animal. However, this isn’t always the case, as healthy animals are also often preyed upon.
Sparrowhawks feed mainly on passerines or songbirds. In addition, there’s a marked difference in the diet of the female and male Eurasian sparrowhawk. They hunt birds that weigh between 1.4 to 1.8 ounces. At most, they may hunt birds weighing up to 4.25 ounces. Their favorite prey are finches, sparrows, and great tits.
On the other hand, females have a predilection for larger prey. In general, the average weight of the birds hunted by a female sparrowhawk is between 1.75 and 2.5 ounces, but they’re able to capture animals weighing up to a little over a pound.
The most interesting thing about this is that, according to one study, these birds are able to select prey infected with blood parasites, such as Leucocytozoon or malaria. Infected birds are 16 to 25% more likely to be caught than those that aren’t.

I am in the small town of Dubois, WY tonight. It is 80 miles from Yellowstone National Park, which is where we are heading in the morning.
This is what I see behind the motel we are in.
The difference between the two of them is pretty accurate in this picture. Londyn is just so tiny compared to Brooklyn. Brooklyn does not have ankles. She has "fankles" aka fat ankles. I think she has my ankles at the end of my pregnancy.
Last doc's visit there was a 2 pound difference between them but I'm curious to see if next time the difference will be greater.

It was a gusty day and the waves were washing all kinds of delectable tidbits up on shore, and the seagulls were ready.
Sometimes there was a difference of opinion as to which bird 'owned' a particular piece of the shoreline.
When I lived in Lakeview, Oregon during 1985-1986, I discovered that trackside access to the Southern Pacific branchline into town was somewhat limited. There was an infamous sinkhole seven miles south of town at milepost 505 that was adjacent to a county road. It was the last public access to the right of way north of the state line. As such, I recorded a fair collection of photos there.
These two shots show the differences that took place in a seven month span. On a Tuesday night in August 1985, I caught SP's Lakeview Local rolling timetable westbound at MP 505. Although I couldn't have imagined it at the time, eight years later I would get to ride in the GP9 pulling this train from Woodburn to Salem via Silverton on the new Willamette Valley Railway.
In January 1986, SP sold the Lakeview Branch to Lake County Oregon as a shortline. The county hired Great Western Railroad of Colorado to operate the new shortline. Severe storms during February 1986 caused so much damage that GWR was out of service for three weeks making repairs. Fortunately, GWR had stockpiled empties in Lakeview, so they were able to spot cars for loading during most of the time they were out of service.
Once the branch was reopened, I caught the first GWR train out of Lakeview down at MP 505 on March 4th. It was nice that the train departed town during my lunch hour! Aside from the lack of a caboose and the paint on the locomotive, the image was very similar to what I had seen the previous summer.
A Volvo PV544 in Langen. According to Wikipedia, "In 1958, the PV544 was phased in. Subtle differences with the PV444 included the introduction of a curved one-piece windshield to replace the two panes of flat glass, larger taillights, and a ribbon-type speedometer. "

The long-tailed tit is a tiny bird of hedgerows, woodland, parks and gardens. It builds a domed nest our of moss in a bush or the fork of a tree, and camouflages it with cobwebs and lichen. It lines the nest with as many as 1,500 feathers to make it soft for the eight to twelve eggs it lays. Long-tailed tits are active feeders, hunting out insects and spiders among the smaller branches and leaves of trees in woodlands. But they are also well-adapted to gardens and towns and will visit birdtables and feeders. In winter, they form flocks with other tits, roaming woodlands, parks and gardens, and commons and heaths with suitable bushes.
The long-tailed tit does, indeed, have a long black-and-white tail that is bigger than its body. It has a black, white and pink back, a white head with a wide, black eyestripe, and a pale pink belly. Distinctive, undulating, gregarious, and a lover of small and excitable flocks, the Long-tailed tit is, as a matter of fact, one of the smallest garden birds in the UK. If not for its extensively long tail, the most characteristic part of the bird, it would be tiny and measure just 6cm in length.
Aegithalos caudatus
The Long-tailed tit is somewhat fluffy in appearance, almost adorable (called a “tiny ball of fluff,” in the Guardian) and features a short, stubby bill. There’s very little difference between males and females, both of which develop plumages of mainly black and white with clear gradations of grey and pink. Many times people have observed with an “aw, isn’t that cute” after spotting a Long-tailed tit roaming casually around. Long-tailed tits have one of the highest nest failure rates among garden bird species. However, despite this disconcerting fact, it is interesting to observe that Long-tailed tits have a habit of not re-nesting. Instead, they will become what are known as “Helpers”; supporters of a nest or other pair of birds, a behaviour known as co-operative breeding. According to Wikipedia, “approximately 50% of nests had one or more helpers.” This altruistic behaviour pertains to a fitness advantage, particularly if it is related to offspring that is supported by the helper. In a future scenario, the helper can use its experience supporting a particular nest for its own offspring in the next season.
As Comet 2022 E3 ZTF moves beyond the plane of Earth's orbit the rarely seen anti-tail is fading. These images show the difference between January 25 to January 29, 2023. The anti-tail is an illusion generated by the angle of the viewer, those of us on Earth, presented as the comet passes through the Earth's position on the plane of the ecliptic. For more details see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitail
The comet is a striking sight, just inside the naked eye magnitude now, through a telescope the head and tail are now visible and with photography even with a small backyard telescope it pops. The comet is projected to get even brighter in the next days ahead.
Each image was captured with a Vixen VSD 100 mm F3.8 astrograph lens, 50 x 20 sec with a Nikon Z7II @ iso 1250, except for January 29, 2023 which is 30 x 20 seconds, in Tucson AZ foothills. Both images captured at about 3 am local MST. Seeing was variable as there is dew, mist in the as the sky cools in Tucson AZ has been limiting. As this series continued the average seeing has degraded with mist and with the ever brighter Moon the mist becomes more of a problem.
As reported the comet is obviously brighter even after only a few days.
Looking at differences with camera makes and lenses, to see if I use the cameras differently, or they have different qualities. This image in the set, are From a Panasonic G9 and the Leica 12-60mm.
There is quite a size difference between Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, yet their plumage is all but identical. This makes them quite difficult to identify from photographs where there is nothing to give scale. Greater Yellowlegs usually has an almost imperceptibly slight upturn to the bill. But when you see the two species together the size difference is like that between Greenshank and Redshank. The bill is also relatively longer and stouter in Greater Yellowlegs, so more like a Greenshank. Incidentally, DNA studies reveal that it is more closely related to Greenshank than Lesser Yellowlegs. Both species of Yellowlegs breed across the boreal forest zone of Canada, but Lesser Yellowlegs peters out around Hudson Bay so does not reach the Atlantic coast. Puzzlingly Lesser Yellowlegs is much, much more common as a vagrant in Britain compared with Greater Yellowlegs, yet Greater breeds right up to the Atlantic Coast. Both species winter in the southern States and throughout South America. I photographed this Greater feeding on the shore at Port Hardy on Vancouver Island.
What a difference a day makes. Beautiful weather the past 2 days and absolutely hammering it down today.
This is a panoramic image of the sun rising over Cromer yesterday morning. Couldn't believe these stones placed the day before by holidaymakers stayed in the formation even though they would have been well under the surf during the night.

While running errands on Thursday, I noticed that these two big box stores were essentially the same structure with only a few cosmetic differences.
“Things change everyday, ... With each new dawn it’s not the same world as the day before. And you’re not the same person you were, either.”
I am no horticulturalist but apparently some plants need protection by being position near a wall or away from the wind. This bush looked like it needed nurturing as someone placed it near a wall and even built a wall around it to protect its roots. Faith is described as a shield. It does indeed protect the user from (and in) the difficulties and trials of life. Try a little faith in God and see the difference for yourself. You might be surprised.
As for the sheep, well I think he had just discovered that the grass tastes a lot better by the wall. Life tastes good with faith. I know, I've tried it both ways.
