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.
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.
Just to prove this is not the same image flipped over, even though the grass and tree look switched, and that Tom is amazingly symmetrical!
Place notes where you see differences!
What a difference a few hours can make. Earlier that morning this entire area was a sea of people, where you could barely see the ground. Within a few hours after park opening and the mad dash to everyone's favorite attractions, the entry plaza is almost a ghost town.

Iandra Castle. George and Elizabeth Greene were settlers with a difference when they purchased their 32,000 acre property in 1878. They built their first homestead named Mount Oriel House in 1880. Greene was a NSW politician and a man with ideas. By the time he died in 1911 his Mount Oriel estate had over 20,000 acres sown in crop. His obituary said he came to a landscape of bush and transformed it into a granary. His estate used 700 horses and employed over 600 people plus various chaffcutters, thrashers etc and the woolshed sheared 30,000 sheep. He came to NSW in 1847 with his parents and spent most of his life on pastoral properties before he purchased Iandra. He dreamed of a medieval feudal system to grow vast areas of crop with little labour. He was regarded as the most important wheat farmer in Australia along with William Farrer who developed his rust resistant wheat type. Greene claims to have introduced the concept of share farming to Australia. He provided the land and took half of the value of the crop but the share farmer bought the seed, fertiliser and provided the labour to sow and reap the crop. But did he? Share cropping was common in the American south after the Civil War and Elizabeth Onlsow (nee MacArthur of Camden Park NSW) introduced share farming on their dairy property in 1887. Greene established his village with houses for the fifty sharefarmers contracted to work his lands. He started with one share farmer in 1891 and gradually expanded the system. His estate manager, named Leonard l’Anson came from Waterloo in South Australia and members of the Freebairn family from Alma in SA also moved to Iandra to be share farmers. George Greene wanted a medieval castle like a medieval lord. Iandra castle was built in 1908 with 57 rooms, castellations and towers but the construction was decidedly modern with reinforced concrete walls. The style was slightly Gothic but the interior was very Edwardian with wood panelling and Art Nouveau stained glass panels etc. The external concrete was rendered to appear like stone. It cost around £63,000 to build. The property included stables, a manager’s residence, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, sheds etc. Near the house was a chapel built in 1886 and a cemetery. When George Greene died in 1911 he was buried there. The estate was partially broken up in 1914 and most share farmers were able to buy their 640 acre blocks. I’Anson continued as manager for Elizabeth Greene until her death in 1927. He was then able to buy 2,500 acres and the castle. Later Iandra castle was used as the Methodist Boys Home from 1954 to 1974. The Methodist Boys Farm School was for 15 to 18 year old first time offenders. They were taught farming skills. The Methodist Church sold the centre in 1974.

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.

Yep, they're different, but similar.
The Country Fair is an 80's reprint (or re-cut). It has the two serial numbers.
It is probably the cut that you all (except Marije) have.
From this I can tell the type of shape, but not the exact shape.
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.
Crewe station in parts is a mish mash of the old and new, with some very old sections of the station sitting alongside, or underneath added on bits. Platform 11 is a good example and it's only when you step from underneath the canopy that the while vista can be seen.
Presumably the lack of roof over one half is connected with either doubts on the old retaining wall to support it or issues with the OLE.
Good to see they're attempting a roof garden - very nouveau....

There are differences between the two, but another term for stained glass is leaded glass. We tend to see the images in stained glass, particularly ecclesiastical stained glass, as if they were two-dimensional cartoons without being aware of the lead that holds the composition together.
So, during an intermission in a recent nighttime performance at Portand's First Baptist Church, I took the opportunity to photograph a leaded glass window from the inside, thereby capturing the lead tracery as well as the jewel-like tones of the old glass.
As an aside, it would alarm some Baptists and some Muslims to learn that they share an aversion to representations of the human figure in their art. The First Baptist Church is a magnificent Richardsonian Romanesque structure whose interior decoration consists entirely of botanical motifs and geometric designs. Even Jesus's usual spot on the altar cross is vacant.
My immediate take on this fear of idolatry is that it silences an important source of stories. In other religious traditions, to enter a church is to be surrounded by images that repeat and reinforce the tenets of the faith. Looking at the ceiling of the First Baptist Church, with its abundant flowers and vines, will most likely remind the faithful that it's time to prune the shrubs.
Having said that, I discovered the Biblical characters at First Baptist inhabit the stained glass windows there. In fact, even this small sample of the glass there's a bit of the eagle of St. John the Evangelist. What happens when you see the eagle or, in this case, just a few of its wing feathers? Well, if you paid attention in Sunday School or Art History, you're drawn into a meditation upon "a figure of the sky, and believed by Christian scholars to be able to look straight into the sun. ... This symbolizes that Christians should look on eternity without flinching as they journey towards their goal of union with God."
I'm not endorsing the content of that message here, just admiring the universal human impulse to express complex ideas through symbolic images.

Note the differences between this Frazer Vagabond Utility sedan and the 1951 Kaiser Traveler Utility Sedan. Here the rear lamps are positioned much higher.
The 1951 was more or less a restyled 1949-50 Kaiser, While the 1951 Kaiser had a brand new body.
Production of the Frazer Vagabond came to an end as soon as the old Kaiser bodies were used up.
The Kaiser-Frazer Corporation was formed in July 1945 by two successful businessmen Henry J. Kaiser (1882-1967) and Joseph W. Frazer (1892-1971).
Immediately after the war their industrial activities changed to develop and produce cars.
In the first three years the Kaiser-Frazer Corp. was quite successful. The company offered cars simultaneously under two different brand names: Frazer and Kaiser. The sub-companies shared bodies and technics.
The first cars appeared in August 1946.
New for 1949 was the Traveller Utility Sedan. This was a combination of a kind of commercial hatchback with a station wagon. The car had a back door which opened in two parts. The backseat could easily folded down to create cargo space. Industrial designer Howard "Dutch" Darrin (USA, 1897-1982) had a main influence on the styling, but the designs were revised by Robert Cadwallader.
Alex Tremulis (USA, 1914-1991) joined the design team in 1950 (after the 1948 Tucker failure).

Pixel demonstrating great willpower 😂. I don’t think Pixel or any of the polar boys need to go on a diet, they are all very well cared for 😃. Pixel had just had some meat and was more interested in having a rest next to the lake.
Personally, I’ve no time for quick-fix, fad diets or ones that demonise a particular food group. A balanced diet is a permanent lifestyle change and even small changes can make a difference.

Welcome to the world, Lily Jane and Daisy Anne, my two precious little flower seedlings.
As from the 15th May, I'm now a mum and it's just the best thing ever.
Looking forward to being able to catch up on some sleep in approxmately the year 2038.
The underside of a Hazel leaf taken with the sun behind it. I find the patterns created by the texture and structure of this leaf interesting. Applied the difference cloud to to this version in Photoshop Elements. I like the mottled effect of the orange tones showing through the blue tones and the way the stem and veins look like polished wood. Best viewed large and black at the link below

Spot the difference!
One on left is a bit more yellow!
One on right is more faded..
One on left came into service in Jan 2013, the one on the right came into service a month earlier in Dec 2012.
But the main difference is that the bright shiny one on the left has only done 173,546 miles.
Whereas the poor faded one on the right has done 281,037 miles!! That's 107,491miles more!! No wonder it's a bit faded! :)
Plus this is the one we were working on last night!
I work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.
Check out the website for all sorts of info re YAS and the work we do.
We believe this to be young Chiffchaffs. But they have light brown legs and quite long wings, so perhaps they are Willow Warblers instead? If somebody knows and can explain the difference to us it would be appreciated. Anyway we know in spring there were many Chiffchaffs to be heard around that location.
We don't know but they were very cute and posed for a long time in that bush.
Edit: thanks to Rolf Nagel for the help with the ID, probably these are Reed Warblers.
Seen in Achim near Bremen - Lower Saxony - Germany.

Wir glauben dieses sind junge Zilpzalpe, allerdings haben sie helle Beine und relativ lange Flügel, so daß es vielleicht doch Fitisse sind? Wenn jemand eine Idee hat und uns erklären kann, woran man das erkennt, gerne her damit. In dem Gebiet rund um dieses Gebüsch waren jedenfalls im Frühjahr und Sommer sehr viele Zilpzalpe zu hören.
Wir wissen es nicht, aber in jedem Fall waren sie sehr niedlich und haben minutenlang für uns im Busch rumgeturnt.
Edit: vielen Dank an Rolf Nagel für die Hilfe bei der Bestimmung, höchstwahrscheinlich handelt es sich hier um Teichrohrsänger.
Gesehen in Achim bei Bremen.

So many faces surround me,
Unrecognizable now.
They're all the same - in so many ways,
I cannot tell them apart.
It's the differences I look for, when I try my best to find you.
It's the similar faces - that confuse me.
I'll be lost here without you,
Until I find a way to see you.
Although you stand right before me,
It is as though my eyes are blinded.
Until I find my way to you,
I'll be here searching - alone - in a sea of faces.
Until I figure out a way to see more clearly-
& See the similar differences - between you & the other million faces.
Until then,
I'll be here.
Comparing the LE 2500 Snow Queen Elsa 17'' Doll (November 2013) versus LE 5000 Frozen Fever Elsa 17'' Doll (November 2015). They have similar appearances and outfits, but also many differences. Lying down side by side, with open capes. SQ Elsa's cape is shorter, but much wider. Its bottom edge is circular and the sides are straight. FF Elsa's cape has a square shape with pointed corners at the bottom and the sides.
SQ Elsa has a darker face, with pale purplish skin, longer eyelashes and darker makeup giving her smoky eyes, darker rouge. Their braids are about the same length and style, but FF Elsa has neater hair on top, and in the back (which is helped by being tied down with nylon thread). SQ Elsa has two jeweled 8 sided snowflakes in her hair, FF Elsa has three pink 6 sided flowers in her braid, and a larger one on the side of her head.
Their outfits are similar, with a slinky one piece dress with a slit in the skirt, and a permanently attached cape that is jeweled and has embroidered decorations. SQ Elsa has embroidered snowflakes in the cape, but only jewels (rectangular and round) in her dress. FF Elsa has a jeweled and embroidered floral design in her cape and her bodice, but no decorations in her skirt. However FF Elsa's cape is heavily decorated in the back of the cape, whereas SQ Elsa's cape has decorations only on the sides and bottom, so the back of the cape is almost bare (except on the bottom). SQ Elsa's cape has a round bottom edge, that is much wider than FF Elsa's cape, and is also longer on the sides. So it can wrap around and cover much of the front of the dress, and drags on the floor all around. SQ Elsa's skirt is also longer than floor length, and much wider at the bottom than the FF Elsa's skirt, which doesn't quite reach the floor. SQ Elsa's dress has full length sheer sleeves, while FF Elsa's dress is basically sleeveless. Finally their high heeled shoes have the same design, representing snowflakes and icicles. But SQ Elsa's shoes are opaque light blue with dark blue striations, whereas FF Elsa's are transparent light green that are also iridescent and have embedded fine glitter. FF Elsa's shoes are much more impressive.
In general, FF Elsa has a much brighter appearance. But SQ Elsa is closer to the character's true nature, and of course her iconic image. And her outfit is much more impressive to me despite the lack of details in the cape compared to the FF cape. So SQ Elsa is my favorite of the two.
