The one on the left (Yellow Stainer) will make you very sick. The one on the right is tasty. They are growing less then 1 Metre apart. Eating wild mushrooms can be risky.

Having walked to Summerseat I hopped aboard a service back to Irwell Vale. I retraced my steps along the Irwell to the foot crossing just before Townsend Fold to see Austerity 2890 again - this time sporting the Dining With Distinction headboard.
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions; where a small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state. For example, the presence or absence of a butterfly flapping its wings could lead to creation or absence of a hurricane.
Although the butterfly effect may appear to be an esoteric and unusual behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.
The term "butterfly effect" itself is related to the meteorological work of Edward Lorenz, who popularized the term.
The butterfly effect is a common trope in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and with "what if" cases where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes.
A butterfly is a mainly day-flying insect of the order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths. Like other holometabolous insects, the butterfly's life cycle consists of four parts, egg, larva, pupa and adult. Most species are diurnal. Butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. Butterflies comprise the true butterflies (superfamily Papilionoidea), the skippers (superfamily Hesperioidea) and the moth-butterflies (superfamily Hedyloidea). All the many other families within the Lepidoptera are referred to as moths.
Butterflies exhibit polymorphism, mimicry and aposematism. Some, like the Monarch, will migrate over long distances. Some butterflies have evolved symbiotic and parasitic relationships with social insects such as ants. Some species are pests because in their larval stages they can damage domestic crops or trees; however, some species are agents of pollination of some plants, and caterpillars of a few butterflies (e.g., Harvesters) eat harmful insects. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts.

Pride.be - Pride 2018 - Your Local Power
Feeling free and at home in your neighborhood, town or city. Be and show yourself in the streets. Holding hands with the person you love and smiling at each other in public. Our personal lives occur in the public space. Considering the approaching communal elections, everyone (youngsters, seniors, families, couples and all people - no matter what gender or orientation) asks the local politicians: How do you make a difference? What do you do to improve diversity in our everyday life? Where the rain makes way for the sun, we will walk proudly under the rainbow!
We will all be heading to the voting booths for the local elections on 14th of October. Deciding which circle to colour in is an important decision. A conscious decision can lead to a better living environment in your city or municipality.
And we're not just talking about the redesign of the local park, the policies in the municipal school, or the proper functioning of the local Public Centre for Social Welfare. Your local municipal or city administration can also make a real difference and turn the place where you live into a true rainbow bubble, if that's what you'd like, of course.
So it's no wonder that this year's Pride is focusing on the local elections. Belgian Pride is putting the municipalities and cities in the limelight in 2018, or better yet, at the end of the rainbow! We want the slogan 'Your Local Power!' to encourage municipal and city administrations to enact explicit, integrated local LGBTI+ policies.
Municipalities and cities can and must make the difference. They must accept responsibility for the well-being of all their residents. Flying the rainbow flag at the local government offices during the Pride period is a symbol of this. This is also a way that the municipality or city can show their solidarity with the LGBTI+ community. This symbolic gesture is not an infringement on neutrality. On the contrary, we can only actively work on ending all forms of discrimination once there is recognition for diversity and inclusion.
Policy-makers can make the lives of many citizens that much rosier by taking both small and large actions: by introducing a diversity charter in sports clubs, by making information on gender and sexuality available at the local libraries, by providing logistical and financial support to local associations, testimonials, and courses in the municipal education system, by holding a queer film festival in the local movie theatre or cultural centre, by holding LGBTI+ actions in community centres and youth centres, by providing information on what to do if you are the victim or witness of discrimination, by offering space for intimacy and (LGBTI+) sexuality in assisted-living centres, by training local police precincts and municipal officials, by including Equal Opportunity as an explicit competence within the city administration, etc.
The list of things that cities and municipalities can do is endless. Plus, many of these actions are very easy to implement. Sometimes, your local administration only needs a little boost, and you can give them that boost in the voting booth on 14th of October. A good local administration meets the needs and requirements of all residents. What does the LGBTI+ community in your city or municipality need?
You can already send the politicians a signal that is loud and clear on Saturday, the 19th of May. Make your wishes heard during the Belgian Pride.
We hope to see you there! Everyone is welcome!
( Chaque annee la Pride attire des dizaines de milliers de visiteurs vers la capitale et colore Bruxelles aux couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel. Il y a aussi le PrideVillage et le PridePodium autour de la Bourse.
Pride.be n'est pas seulement la plus grande fete de Bruxelles, mais c'est aussi un evenement avec un message politique. Avec cette manifestation, nous essayons d'obtenir plus d'egalite de droits pour tout le monde et surtout pour la communaute lesbigaytrans. )
The scope of the Astrobel / Paramount 4000 conversion is illustrated quite well in this photo.
A great deal of work involved, but a rather pleasing outcome. Final livery is being applied by the client.
D-body has more mobility, whereas the S-body lacks a few as it doesn`t have balljointed hands. The ankles on the S-body barely move.
The Difference Engine

A surreal fisheye view of an engine inside a dusty old airplane hangar in rural Kansas, taken while rain splattered against the metal roof. This feels and looks like the heart of the aisle. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld flashlight capable of producing different colors and illuminated the engine and the shelves behind it with red and blue light. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images.

Our friends have a mixed flock and gave us these eggs. I'm amazed at the color variations. This is slightly enhanced, but basically true to life.
They are both ADL Enviro400 hybrids, both '64'-reg and both in the fleet of Abellio London.
2501 on the left is the new MMC (Major Model Change) version; 28 of these, the first of the type for London service, have just been delivered to Abellio's Beddington Depot for the take-up of route 109 from Arriva London South from Saturday 31st January. It is seen here in Brixton two days later.
2468 alongside is the 'classic' version (if a design that has been around for less than 9 years can be regarded as classic!). It is one of a batch that were delivered to Battersea Depot for another Abellio tender win, that of route 49 from RATP London United in September 2014, although here it has slipped out onto route 3 which is also allocated Enviro400 hybrids.
When I went back home to Northern Wisconsin, there is very little if any light pollution. So you can see Billions and Billions of Stars.

The Victorian Iron Horse Roundup, held from August 21-29, 2021 at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, was a gathering of vintage narrow gauge locomotives from the late Victorian era (1870-1900). The featured attractions were:
No. 4 ("Eureka") 4-4-0 (Baldwin, 1875) - Eureka & Palisade
"Glenbrook" 2-6-0 (Baldwin, 1875) - Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming
No. 168, 4-6-0 (Baldwin, 1883) - Denver & Rio Grande
No. 425, 2-8-0 (Baldwin, 1895) - Denver & Rio Grande
No. 20, 4-6-0 (Schenectady, 1899) - Rio Grande Southern
A number of special excursions were made with Eureka, Glenbrook, 168, and 425 between Antonito, Colorado, and Chama, New Mexico over the former Denver & Rio Grande narrow gauge main line now operated by C&TS.
between ciboule and ciboulette (ciboule is spring onion and ciboulette is chives). Thursday market on bvd de Grancy. The market opened at 5pm, just as it started to rain.
This particular fishing boat with the net and sponge mattress is in the background of the picture below this one.
For me it is a fishing net and just that. For these fisherfolk this is their means of livelihood. How hard they work I do not know but I do not think it would be an easy life, such as pen pushing or like myself, walking of a morning and tapping keys on my computer, to give you an idea of the difference. I knew a fisherman in Tin Can Bay, Queensland, Australia, where I used to live, and he was in waist deep water for a few hours of a night dragging nets (he wore the waterproof waders trout fishermen use). He did not complain how hard it was, to him it was his job and so he got on with it. His name is Malcolm and he became a great friend of mine and when he came in of a morning to where the dolphins also came in I would inspect his catch.
In the background is the mother ship you saw a few days ago. It is like a mother hen with her attendant chicks in tow. I also notice there are 3 boats tied up alongside too!!! These fishing bangka vessels attached to the back of the mother ship are very much like this one. So with a ship this size, with the attendant fishing boats I imagine this pays well but I am not sure. On this day the sea was calm, the sky was blue, the headland peaceful, no wind or very little.
Two days later the super typhoon went through the northern part of the main island of the Philippines. We went home the day before and although quite a rough trip we made it home safely. All shipping was cancelled the next day.
Around two years ago now, a passenger ship, "The Princess Of The Stars", carrying "between 700-800 people", sailed into a typhoon. Why the Coast Guard did not order the ship to stay in the harbour is unclear or why the captain sailed is also unclear. However, the ship encountered giant waves and finally rolled over. Many lost their lives.

So although this scene is a peaceful one, where fishing is concerned, boats are also used to carry passengers/cargo. Most arrive safely and without incident - for "The Princess Of The Stars" these people were not so lucky. May their souls rest in peace.
Thank you for joining me on another journey into my idyllic lifestyle here in the Philippines. What a wonderful journey it has been too. Thanks also for your continued support and your very generous and kind comments. I appreciate them all and your faves too!!!! Flickr has become like a "home" to me and you are all my "housemates", even though you are scattered far and wide on this beautiful earth we all share. Thank you God for the privilege of being able to share my story!!!!
In closing this picture reminds me of Jesus when He walked beside the Sea of Galilee, and in Matthew 4:18-20 - it says - As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed Him.
Her thoughts turned to this wonderful mix and how much the world could learn from these beautiful creatures. The lens found this special group of geese and she pondered for several minutes about differences and acceptance...
A medium-sized goose that breeds on the arctic tundra, the Snow Goose travels south in very large, high-flying, noisy flocks. The swirling white of a descending flock suggests snow, but among the white birds are darker individuals. Until recently, the Blue Geese, as the dark birds were called, were considered a separate species. They are now recognized as merely a dark form (or "morph") of the Snow Goose.
