Strawberries are at their best in Summer!
The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis, which was brought from Chile by Amédée-François Frézier in 1714.
Cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca), which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century.
The strawberry is not, from a botanical point of view, a berry.
Technically, it is an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries.
Each apparent "seed" (achene) on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower, with a seed inside it.
The entire strawberry plant was used to treat depressive illnesses.
In 2017, world production of strawberries was 9.2 million tonnes, led by China with 40% of the total.
The chilli is the fruit of the Capsicum.

The Silesian Theatre (Teatr Slaski in. Stanisław Wyspiańskiego) is the Municipal Theatre, one of the main attractions of the city of Katowice in Poland, as well as the largest theater and one of the region's most important cultural institutions. It occupies a central place in the middle of the Katowice city center at the Ring.
History
Katowice is a young city that developed as a result of industrialization and 1865 received its town charter. Given the growing importance and population growth of the city, yet early have been made efforts to build a city theater. It arose an association (Förderverein), raising funds for the construction, but which was subsidized generously by the city council. 1905, was started with the construction work according to plans by the Cologne architect Carl Moritz who had already gained experience in theater plannings. As a building site was chosen the Ring respectively the former square Friedrichs Platz and for the new building the old, simple brick town hall was demolished. Structurally seen, the theater is attributable to the neoclassicism, strong elements of the Classical Modern but also elements of Art Nouveau being present. At this time, Katowice had around 35,000 inhabitants, Carl Moritz on the other hand created a disproportionately large theater with 410 seats, which would have fitted in a big city with its cultural offerings and with its architecture and impressive size.
On October 2, 1907 took place the opening ceremony of the municipal theater, contemporarily called Deutsches Theater. In his opening speech said mayor Alexander Pohlmann, the town theater may be a proud and invincible bulwark against the hostile Polish manners. This chauvinist sentence expressed the purpose of the building in an exaggerated way. As well as the stone banner "German Word and German Art" announced at the gable, the theater should on the one hand promote the German cultural life throughout the region and promote the German language, but on the other hand also be a symbol of the new city, shaped by the Germans. In fact, Katowice indeed had a clear German majority in the population, in rural surroundings, however, the situation was different.
With this city theater in which appeared many famous actors and others began their careers, Katowice became the cultural capital of the Upper Silesian industrial district. As Katowice in 1922 fell to Poland, the theater was indeed renamed in Polish theater, the minority agreements (Minderheitenabkommen), however, obligated Poland to maintain the cultural life of the Germans, which is why there was still a German theater community, which was played by German stages from Upper Silesia but also from other parts of Germany. On the other hand, the theater as in German times but this time the other way around should meet polonization measures (Polonisierungsmaßnahmen). The old German inscription was removed as well as in the 1930s the two monumental Art Nouveau reliefs at the sides of the gable, showing scenes from the Nibelungen saga. In 1936 the theater got the name of the Polish playwright and painter Stanisław Wyspiański, which after the Second World War was also attached above the gable, and was the scene of numerous operas. During the German occupation in World War II, at the theater a board was attached with the old saying "German Word - German Art", which should underpin the racist ideology of the Nazis.
In the post-war period and in Communist Poland, the remaining architectural decorations of the theater disappeared (including the portals), and the façade got a plain plaster. In 2000 renovation works were completed, restoring the old plaster as well as the portals, of which remains still could be used. Furthermore, still three reliefs of dance, music and literature adorn the façade of the theater.
More recently, in addition to theater performances were also organized exhibitions on the topic theater, musical performances and literary meetings. So took place in September 1996 in the theater the "Günter Grass Days", in which numerous well-known translators of Polish and German literature participated.

Das Schlesische Theater (Teatr Śląski im. Stanisława Wyspiańskiego) ist das Stadttheater, eine der Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt Kattowitz in Polen, sowie das größte Theater und eine der wichtigsten kulturellen Einrichtungen der Region. Es nimmt einen zentralen Platz mitten im Kattowitzer Stadtzentrum am Ring ein.
Geschichte
Kattowitz ist eine junge Stadt, die sich infolge der Industrialisierung entwickelte und 1865 das Stadtrecht erhielt. In Anbetracht der zunehmenden Bedeutung und des Bevölkerungswachstums der Stadt bestanden schon früh Bestrebungen, ein Stadttheater zu errichten. Es entstand ein Förderverein, der Spenden für den Bau sammelte, der aber von der Stadtverwaltung großzügig bezuschusst werden musste. 1905 wurde nach Plänen des Kölner Architekten Carl Moritz, der schon Erfahrung in Theaterplanungen gesammelt hatte, mit den Baumaßnahmen begonnen. Als Bauplatz wählte man den Ring bzw. den damaligen Friedrichsplatz und riss für den Neubau das alte, schlichte Backstein-Rathaus ab. Baulich gesehen ist das Theater dem Neoklassizismus zuzurechnen, wobei starke Anklänge an die Klassische Moderne, aber auch Elemente des Jugendstils vorhanden sind. Zu dieser Zeit hatte Kattowitz um die 35.000 Einwohner, Carl Moritz schuf dagegen ein überproportional großes Theater mit 410 Sitzplätzen, das mit seinem kulturellen Angebot und mit seiner Architektur, sowie imponierenden Größe in eine Großstadt gepasst hätte.
Am 2. Oktober 1907 erfolgte die feierliche Eröffnung des Stadttheaters, zeitgenössisch auch Deutsches Theater genannt. In seiner Eröffnungsrede sagte Oberbürgermeister Alexander Pohlmann, das Stadttheater möge ein stolzes und unbesiegbares Bollwerk gegen die feindliche polnische Lebensart sein. Dieser chauvinistische Satz drückte den Zweck dieses Gebäudes in übertriebener Weise aus. Wie auch das steinerne Spruchband „Deutschem Wort und Deutscher Art“ am Giebel verkündete, sollte das Theater einerseits das deutsche Kulturleben der ganzen Region voranbringen und die deutsche Sprache fördern, andererseits aber auch ein Symbol der neuen, von Deutschen geprägten Stadt sein. In der Tat hatte Kattowitz zwar eine klare deutsche Bevölkerungsmehrheit, im ländlichen Umland dagegen, sah die Situation anders aus.
Mit diesem Stadttheater, in dem viele bekannte Schauspieler auftraten und andere ihre Karriere begannen, wurde Kattowitz zur kulturellen Metropole des Oberschlesischen Industriegebiets. Als Kattowitz 1922 an Polen fiel wurde das Theater zwar in Polnisches Theater umbenannt, die Minderheitenabkommen verpflichteten Polen jedoch, das kulturelle Leben der Deutschen aufrechtzuerhalten, weshalb weiterhin eine deutsche Theatergemeinde bestand, die von deutschen Bühnen aus Oberschlesien, aber auch aus anderen Teilen Deutschlands bespielt wurde. Andererseits sollte das Theater wie zu deutschen Zeiten, diesmal aber umgekehrt, Polonisierungsmaßnahmen erfüllen. Die alte deutsche Inschrift wurde ebenso entfernt wie in den 1930er Jahren die beiden monumentalen Jugenstilreliefs an den Seiten des Giebels, die Szenen aus der Nibelungensage zeigten. 1936 erhielt das Theater den Namen des polnischen Dramatikers und Malers Stanisław Wyspiańskis, der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg auch über dem Giebel angebracht wurde, und war Schauplatz zahlreicher Opernaufführungen. Während der deutschen Besetzung im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde am Theater eine Tafel mit der alten Aufschrift „Deutschem Wort - Deutscher Art“ angebracht, die die rassistischen Ideologien der Nationalsozialisten untermauern sollte.
In der Nachkriegszeit und im kommunistischen Polen verschwanden die restlichen architektonischen Verzierungen des Theaters (unter anderem die Portale), und die Fassade erhielt einen einfarbigen Verputz. Im Jahre 2000 wurden Renovierungsarbeiten abgeschlossen, die den alten Verputz sowie die Portale, von denen noch Reste verwendet werden konnten, wiederherstellten. Weiterhin schmücken noch drei Reliefe des Tanzes, der Musik und der Literatur die Fassade des Theaters.
In neuerer Zeit wurden neben Theateraufführungen auch Ausstellungen zum Thema Theater, musikalische Aufführungen und literarische Treffen veranstaltet. So fanden im September 1996 im Theater die „Günter Grass-Tage“ statt, an denen zahlreiche namhafte Übersetzer polnischer und deutscher Literatur teilnahmen.
There is always something going on in Nottingham and the Market Square is often rocked by music events, markets, dance troups and promotions.

I was in Bucyrus, Ohio, on a Saturday afternoon when a southbound empty hopper train came into view. The third unit looked different and it wasn't until the train got closer that I recognized that it had D8.5-40CW, a rebuilt engine that has a new cab that is still in primer paint. From a distance, the primer appeared to be light blue.

Come on there buddy. Haven't you read your Great Bowerbird instruction manual that says you only collect white, bleached or green objects for your courtship display to impress the ladies?
Maybe he'd been out of luck and decided to try something outside the normal to see how that worked. Over about 4 weeks observing this bower intensely, this is the only time I saw any other than 'normal' coloured objects being collected. He tried leaving it among the berry and fresh leaf offerings at the bower entrance but didn't bother doing it again. Yes I left more orange peel in the same place he found this piece but he gave them a miss. Obviously no ladies were impressed enough with his different approach!
I really appreciate all who visit to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia. Thank you!

In this concentration I would hope to use the juxtaposition of objects in different moments of time to show change, development, or growth. In this piece, the model changed positions but I placed the second pose directly next to the first, and his changed demeanor is dramatic. To increase the contrast, I drew the first pose in only highlight and the second in only shadow.
[ENG] End of the day. After hours of fishing, the helicopter picks up all the fishermen to take them back to the camp. Every two fisherman have a guide, fishing different sections during the week. At present there are programs in which the trips to the river are hiking, an alternative applauded by many who prefer walk the tundra with a major contact with nature and more economic prices.

Another house on Chongqing Dao, but wth different balconies: a small, rounded one on the second floor and a larger one above it on the third floor.
Wudadao (五大道), or the Five Main Avenues, are an affluent and historic section of Tianjin, China, in the Heping district just south of downtown. They five main avenues (streets more than avenues) are: Chongqing, Changde, Dali, Munan, and Machang. They take their names from cities in southwestern China.
This is a small, eminently walkable neighborhood (nearest subway station is Xiaobailou on line 1) that is most renowned for being eclectic. It is primarily residential, but sprinkled throughout the neighborhood are quite a few chic restaurants, trendy boutiques, a few sculptures, and a small park. The avenues have an east-west alignment and – from at least two of them – there are nice views of the Tianta Television Tower to the west that can be framed by the tree-lined avenues.
Wudadao is a photographers’ delight. Architecturally, it has a smattering of quite a few different styles: Renaissance, Greek, Gothic, and Romantic. The area designates 230 buildings as historic with those architectural styles from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. About 50 of the houses have been lived in by local and national celebrities which also adds to the quirky attractiveness.
Strolling the avenues with a camera is a wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon. Stop in and grab a bite at any of the restaurants in the neighborhood. (I’m personally quite fond of Chateau 35 on Changde Dao which is one of the best steakhouses in Tianjin.)
If you are tired of strolling – though the area isn’t terribly large – you also have the option of renting bikes to ride around (standard, tandem, or “bike carts”) or even touring the area by horse and buggy. You will most certainly run into photographers like me trolling the streets and probably be pleasantly surprised by the area.
This is a different attempt at catching a fish that the one pictured below the snow fence photos. Both attempts were unsuccessful.
The way these big birds can hover and liftoff with a heavy fish in their talons is impressive. In this picture we see the fish escape...it seemed the osprey never really had the fish in his talons.

The osprey (fish hawk) can have a wingspan of 6 feet and its unique characteristics classify it in its own taxonomic group. The osprey and owls are the only raptors whose outer toe is reversible, allowing them to grasp their prey with two toes in front and two behind. This is particularly helpful when they grab slippery fish.
It is easy to get caught up in our day to day lives in our own worlds. Depending on the circumstances, our outlook on life can be promising or bleak. Most of us are fortunate and regardless of what kind of day we are having, we get to go home at the end of the day. However, some of us do not have a home and life’s perspective is different.
