Proverbs 31:8 “Speak out for the one who cannot speak, for the rights of those who are doomed.”
Canada’s euthanasia program is called Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID). They give the “patient” a paralytic; then they give them a drug, which causes their lungs to fill with liquid. Therefore, the patient drowns to death. If the patient does this “medical treatment” by IV, it takes 10-15 minutes for them to drown. If the patient takes the drug orally, it takes between 30 minutes to 24 hours for them to drown.
I first heard of euthanasia when I was in high school. It was touted as a good and compassionate thing. When I heard about it, I immediately thought of the Nazis. I spoke up against it, and I was ridiculed. Indoctrination masked as education: the Nazi’s liked to use propaganda too. Nihilism breeds useful idiots.

Checking on the tomato plants when I spied this unfortunate fellow.
This is a Tobacco Hornworm. A Braconid Wasp has inserted it's it's eggs inside this unfortunate Hookworm. After feeding for 8-10 days on nutrients provided by the still living Hornworm, they burrow out and make these cocoons. After about a week the adult wasp will emerge. At that point the moth larva will die.

The day after I took this shot all the conkers ( and more that dropped after the shot ) were all flattened by cars driving over them .

Scientific Classification: The horse chestnut tree is scientifically known as Aesculus hippocastanum. It belongs to the Sapindaceae family, which includes other flowering plants like the soapberry and lychee.
Physical Appearance: This tree can grow up to 39 meters (128 feet) tall and has a domed crown with stout branches. Its leaves are palmately compound, typically consisting of 5-7 leaflets that can reach up to 60 cm (24 inches) across. The flowers are usually white with yellow or pink blotches and bloom in erect panicles during spring.
Native Range: The horse chestnut is native to southeastern Europe but has been widely planted in temperate regions around the world, including North America. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade.
Growth Rate: This tree has a medium growth rate, averaging 33 to 60 cm (13 to 24 inches) per year, making it a popular choice for parks and large gardens due to its shade-providing canopy.
Conkers: The seeds of the horse chestnut tree, known as conkers, are glossy brown and encased in a spiky green capsule. While they are not edible and can be toxic to humans and animals, they are famously used in a traditional children's game in the UK.
Medicinal Uses: Extracts from the seeds and leaves have been used historically for various medicinal purposes, including treating conditions like hemorrhoids and varicose veins.
Pollinator Support: The flowers of the horse chestnut tree provide nectar for bees, making it an important species for local ecosystems.
Cultural Significance: The horse chestnut tree is cherished for its beauty and is often planted along streets and in parks, creating picturesque avenues.
In summary, the horse chestnut tree is a magnificent and versatile species that not only enhances landscapes with its beauty but also plays a role in local ecosystems and cultural traditions.

Like many of the old abandoned mill buildings in the town I grew up in, this one is in the phases of getting a renovation to become office spaces, studios, and probably apartments. This sapling growing in the window will fall as a casualty of this space reuse.
After shooting this, I was tempted to break in to this old mill (something I did as a teen), find this old window, and unroot the tree and replant it somewhere. It was 90F the day I took this a few weeks ago, and it likely would not have survived. Its days remain numbered.

"O, you living in the world of six directions,
accept the gloom and accept the bliss,
for those seeds buried in the ground
will one day grow into fruitful orchards.
Every seed will sprout above the ground
and from that source, fresh stems will grow.
If a few branches wither and dry,
the rest will bear fruit.
What is withered will yield to fire,
and that flame ignites joy in the soul.
What is not this, will become this,
and what is not that, becomes that!"
Rumi
I spent the last night at one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Switzerland. The weather forecast was perfect, but like it happens very often in the Alps, the micro weather did not care about the forecasts.
When I arrived at 5 pm, the mountains were covered in clouds, but 30min after sunset they suddenly parted and I was hoping for a clear night.
After solving some problems with my gear, I was ready to shoot at astronomical dusk. While capturing the foreground, I finally found some time to watch the sky, but I did not like what I saw. The visibility seemed to be strangely washed and when checking my LCD screen, I new that my shooting session was doomed.
I quickly started my tracker and acquired some sky exposures, but after just 2min, the sky was completely covered with fog and stayed like this all night.
Glad that I at least got away with one image.

I thought I'd found a new and exciting fly species the other day, but doing my research, I discovered that this was probably a very common fly which had an entomophthora muscae infection. E. muscae is a pathogenic fungus causing fatal disease to flies. The stripes are very striking but knowing that they are caused by fungal spores breaking out of the segments in the fly's abdomen. one has to feel great sympathy for the fly.
