I am not generally a fan of birdfeeder photos but I found this one rather striking. Taken from one of the many blinds at Slimbridge Wetlands, these Eurasian Blue Tits were about as abundant there as their cousins, the chickadee and tufted titmouse, are here in the northeastern US. As woodland birds, they nest in tree holes and generally eat insects, but at certain times of the year they will also eat seeds and nuts. Studies, which I have not reviewed, suggest that they are not as sexually monomorphic as they might seem. Apparently, observed under the UV spectrum, males and females demonstrate differences in the colors of their tufts. This difference allows them to easily distinguish sexes. There's a world of difference out there that we don't even see, hear, taste, or smell, due to the limitations of our senses. Imagine the possibilities! #EurasianBlueTit
What a difference 24 hours makes! The previous day, there was hard any snow on the ground here in the Colorado high country. But this morning, snow is finally falling. A westbound BNSF oil train is, for some reason, being run through the siding at Granby. It is not meeting anything. DS-378 just ran it in and out of the siding. Meanwhile, a beautiful new platform sits at Granby, ready for the Zephyr. The platform is heated to make it safer, although it appears a couple of heating element panels are not currently working.

Dave and I traversed all this country a number of times in '65, and I have some fond memories of all of the Nullarbor, just search my stream for Nullarbor...
noted 34 months after the comment below! 29/5/09
See also wasg.iinet.net.au/nulla.html for a bit about the Nullarbor limestone.
"In 2005, The Wilderness Society nominated the Nullarbor Plain for protection under South Australia’s Wilderness Protection Act. The nomination recognised the cultural significance of the region to its traditional owners.
Widely acclaimed for outstanding natural and cultural heritage values, the Nullarbor is the largest semi-arid karst cave system in the world."

Nullabor plain
janhawkinsau.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/the-oondiri-travell...
The Nullabor, the name has always irritated me because it is such an enigma to what you actually find. The vast ancient region was named in August 1865, while an explorer was travelling from the east across the Hampton Tablelands, along the most arid of sections. E. A. Delisser in his journal named both the Nullabor and Eucla. This was how the largest limestone karst in the world received its European name. Its meaning is found in the Latin Nullus Arbor (It seems Delisser spelt it Aus’ style) the meaning is however ‘No trees/plants’. This is a simple misconception as the vast region is not treeless.
To the tribal aboriginal people, the vast plain was known as the Oondiri, meaning a waterless plain, as surface water is not easily found across the ancient karst of limestone. This limestone karst is the largest in the world. It was formed 40 million years ago when the Australian continent broke away from Antarctica and it is also very unstable.

Difference being about 15 min. and a different location The sun is coming over the horizon and once the rays hit the fragile white ice crystals they will melt. It will only take a few minutes for them to evaporate.
The coat's off and here's the full dress in all its spotty glory. A slip on so no ties, zips of fastenings. As easy as they come, not that I'm an easy girl!
What a difference a week makes.
Still unfurling gracefully.
I love this time of year in the garden. Despite the stillness, everything is moving so quickly.
Our daily life is by far same as the day before..
the same will be to this two person also.. but that shadow just gave them a difference in life they will remember ... a shadow that becomes a monster and they will count it as the event of the day ...
The only difference between mist and fog is visibility [1]. This phenomenon is called fog if the visibility is one kilometre (1,100 yards) or less (in the UK for driving purposes the definition of fog is visibility less than 200 metres, for pilots the distance is 1 kilometre). Otherwise it is known as mist. Seen from a distance, mist is bluish, and haze is more brownish.[citation needed]
Religious connotations are associated with mist in some cultures; it is used as a metaphor in 2 Peter 2:17.

La différence de couleur d'une fleur n'en fait pas une autre espèce pour autant Dans ce cas, c'est l'hybride naturel Lycaste x niesseniae sur les trois photos. Selon qu'elle ait plus d'influence d'un de ses parents ou de l'autre, la fleur varie d'une plante á l'autre. Elle peut être plus petite et/ou plus claire s'il y a plus d'influence de Lycaste occulta, ou plus grande et/ou plus sombre si Lycaste schilleriana influence plus sa génétique. Cette plante est endémique (exclusive) du département du Valle del Cauca en Colombie.
The difference in color of a flower does not make it another species for that. In this case, it is the natural hybrid Lycaste x niesseniae on all three photos. Depending on the influence of one or the other parent, the flower varies from one plant to the other. It can be smaller and/or paler if there is more influence of Lycaste occulta, or bigger and/or darker if Lycaste schilleriana influences more its génétics. This plant is endemic (exclusive) from Valle del Cauca departmant in Colombia.
La diferencia de color de una flor no la hace una especie distinta por eso. En este caso es el híbrido natural Lycaste x niesseniae en las trés fotos. Según que tenga más o menos influencia de uno de sus padres, varia la flor de una planta a la otra. Puede ser más pequeña y más clara si hay más influencia de Lycaste occulta, o más grande y más oscura si influencia más Lycaste schilleriana en su génetica. Esta planta es endémica (exclusiva) del departamento del Valle del Cauca en Colombia.

The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is a species of oceanic turtle distributed throughout the world. It is a marine reptile, belonging to the family Cheloniidae. The average loggerhead measures around 90 cm (35 in) in carapace length when fully grown. The adult loggerhead sea turtle weighs approximately 135 kg (298 lb), with the largest specimens weighing in at more than 450 kg (1,000 lb). The skin ranges from yellow to brown in color, and the shell is typically reddish brown. No external differences in sex are seen until the turtle becomes an adult, the most obvious difference being the adult males have thicker tails and shorter plastrons (lower shells) than the females.
The loggerhead sea turtle is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. It spends most of its life in saltwater and estuarine habitats, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. The loggerhead sea turtle has a low reproductive rate; females lay an average of four egg clutches and then become quiescent, producing no eggs for two to three years. The loggerhead reaches sexual maturity within 17–33 years and has a lifespan of 47–67 years.
The loggerhead sea turtle is omnivorous, feeding mainly on bottom-dwelling invertebrates. Its large and powerful jaws serve as an effective tool for dismantling its prey. Young loggerheads are exploited by numerous predators; the eggs are especially vulnerable to terrestrial organisms. Once the turtles reach adulthood, their formidable size limits predation to large marine animals, such as large sharks.
The loggerhead sea turtle has a cosmopolitan distribution, nesting over the broadest geographical range of any sea turtle. It inhabits the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea.
In the Atlantic Ocean, the greatest concentration of loggerheads is along the southeastern coast of North America and in the Gulf of Mexico. Very few loggerheads are found along the European and African coastlines. Florida is the most popular nesting site, with more than 67,000 nests built per year. Nesting extends as far north as Virginia, as far south as Brazil, and as far east as the Cape Verde Islands. The Cape Verde Islands are the only significant nesting site on the eastern side of the Atlantic. Loggerheads found in the Atlantic Ocean feed from Canada to Brazil.
In the Indian Ocean, loggerheads feed along the coastlines of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and in the Arabian Sea. Along the African coastline, loggerheads nest from Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago to South Africa's St Lucia estuary. The largest Indian Ocean nesting site is Oman, on the Arabian Peninsula, which hosts around 15,000 nests, giving it the second largest nesting population of loggerheads in the world. Western Australia is another notable nesting area, with 1,000–2,000 nests per year.
Pacific loggerheads live in temperate to tropical regions. They forage in the East China Sea, the southwestern Pacific, and along the Baja California Peninsula. Eastern Australia and Japan are the major nesting areas, with the Great Barrier Reef deemed an important nesting area. Pacific loggerheads occasionally nest in Vanuatu and Tokelau. Yakushima Island is the most important site, with three nesting grounds visited by 40% of all nearby loggerheads. After nesting, females often find homes in the East China Sea, while the Kuroshio Current Extension's Bifurcation region provides important juvenile foraging areas. Eastern Pacific populations are concentrated off the coast of Baja California, where upwelling provides rich feeding grounds for juvenile turtles and subadults. Nesting sites along the eastern Pacific Basin are rare. mtDNA sequence polymorphism analysis and tracking studies suggest 95% of the population along the coast of the Americas hatch on the Japanese Islands in the western Pacific. The turtles are transported by the prevailing currents across the full length of the northern Pacific, one of the longest migration routes of any marine animal. The return journey to the natal beaches in Japan has been long suspected, although the trip would cross unproductive clear water with few feeding opportunities. Evidence of a return journey came from an adult female loggerhead named Adelita, which in 1996, equipped with a satellite tracking device, made the 14,500 km (9,000 mi) trip from Mexico across the Pacific. Adelita was the first animal of any kind ever tracked across an ocean basin.
The Mediterranean Sea is a nursery for juveniles, as well as a common place for adults in the spring and summer months. Almost 45% of the Mediterranean juvenile population has migrated from the Atlantic. Loggerheads feed in the Alboran Sea and the Adriatic Sea, with tens of thousands of specimens (mainly sub-adult) seasonally present in the North-Eastern portion of the latter, above all in the area of the Po Delta. Greece is the most popular nesting site along the Mediterranean, with more than 3,000 nests per year. Zakynthos hosts the largest Mediterranean nesting with the second one being in Kyparissia Bay. Because of this, Greek authorities do not allow planes to take off or land at night in Zakynthos due to the nesting turtles. In addition to the Greek coast, the coastlines of Cyprus and Turkey are also common nesting sites.

As the evening began to kick in the pair of Stone Curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus insularum) got more active, giving some stunning views in the process, in stark contrast to the distant views we can get of the ones that breed in the UK.
It was even possible to see the subtle differences between the male and female they were so close
This is an old photo I've brought back with a difference.
I recently finished watching Dexter and wanted to do some kind of tribute to the show as I loved every episode (accept the last one, heartbreaking) but I had no ideas for it and figured I'd wait until something came to me, well tonight I was digging out some old shots for my new facebook page and I saw this one and thought how this could be Dexter reliving the good old days taking out the trash!
- Different sound ..., ancient bells ...
Sounds like past emergencies ..., sounding distant illusions in time ....
Sound errors forgotten ....
They sound different .......
- Diferentes suenan..., los timbres antiguos...
Suenan a urgencias pasadas..., suenan a ilusiones lejanas en el tiempo....
Suenan a errores olvidados....
Suenan diferentes.....
Standard stirfry, in order and in peanut oil: broccoli stems, celery, diced garlic & ginger, green pepper, tomato, broccoli flowerets, sliced mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and fried and sliced veggie 'bacon'.
EXCEPT: after adding the diced tomato, I splashed in 1/3 cup of vodka!
Ever since I had 'Penne ala Vodka' at a great little Italian restaurant a while ago, I've been trying to find ways to add vodka to other foods, and I was curious to see what it would do in Aisan cuisine. I think it made a perceptible difference in the richness of the taste! In any event, my wife thought it was delicious! :-)
Finished off with a sauce made of the juice of a lemon, a glug of Maggi, Chinese Premium Soy Sauce, Chinese cooking wine, a little splash of fish sauce, and a little teaspoon of (aargh!) MSG, with a forkfull of cornstarch stired in at the end.
Served over a bed of Basmati rice and topped with sliced green onion.
We were photographing the Snowy but the Great Egret photo bombed him!! This shows the considerable difference in size.
The difference between life and death can be a split second. This scene in the mist at Chatsworth fully illustrates the concept and the power of nature to destroy and the capacity & strength of the tree to withstand.

The difference between staring at the ocean from behind a window frame
and looking into his eyes of deep from the foamy shoreline, feet naked;
the difference between the sky seen in an astronomy software display
and the summer dome where thousands of millions of glimmering stars shine;
the difference between the glimpse of an image of a mountain snowy trail
and the whiplashing wind when it pairs like a bourdon the shoes rhythm
while you get step after step closer to the crown of fiery rocky peaks.
The difference between a cd and a concert,
between drop and hammering rain,
between a fob and a chain.
The difference between the memory of a voice
and that voice itself,
between a verse found once on a screen
and an old dusty book on an old dusty shelf.
The difference between morning and night,
wheel and plough,
aliveness and life,
simple air and heady oxygen,
a thunderclap and the Jupiter's big red storm.
Or a love and our Love.
What a difference an hour makes! Low cloud and fog shrouded Burrator Reservoir on arrival
The glorious vista that would have greeted rail passengers to Burrator Halt. Built in 1924, as the area around Burrator Reservoir had become an attraction to ramblers after the completion of the reservoir in 1898.
Burrator Halt was on the Princetown Railway which opened with trains operating from Horrabridge until the opening of Yelverton station in 1885.
The area is still a magnet for ramblers and tourists but sadly the railway closed in 1956, much of the trackbed is now a footpath/cycle track.
