This is what happens to the little vase of pink Cyclamen more than a month ago.
It was too hot here, and we did not know that two watering in a day was enough to make the flowers falling down and the roots to rot.
Fortunately I took some photos before the plant definitely died.
This is the first image.
Wish all my Flickr friends a very happy week ahead!
Please, excuse me for not being able to answer the numerous faves and comments in my last two photos on Explore, with a lot of visualizations. I really don't know if I will be capable of this tiresome work this time.
I also need to make a require to unknowing people who usually return to my gallery and add as favorites 25 or even 100 photos. Sorry, but I don't have time nor physical disposition to reciprocrate all of this.
So, please don't do this.

Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. In Alblasserwaard, problems with water became more and more apparent in the 13th century. Large canals, called "weteringen", were dug to get rid of the excess water in the polders. However, the drained soil started setting, while the level of the river rose due to the river's sand deposits. Most of the current mills were built in 1738 and 1740 (see below).
After a few centuries, an additional way to keep the polders dry was required. It was decided to build a series of windmills, with a limited capacity to bridge water level differences, but just able to pump water into a reservoir at an intermediate level between the soil in the polder and the river; the reservoir could be let out into the river through locks whenever the river level was low enough; the river level has both seasonal and tidal variations. Although some of the windmills are still used, the main water works are provided by two diesel pumping stations near one of the entrances of the windmills site.
Blocked towpath (excess water feeding back into the River Calder from the canal). Following heavy rain and a bit of flooding.

Dragonflies are important in wetland ecosystems, vulnerable to wetland drainage, excess nutrients, pesticides and shoreline "cleaning." They eat a broad range of insects from mosquitoes to beetles to other dragonflies. Over 60 dragonflies are found in Central Florida. Some species do not venture far from the water where they breed, while others, such as the Wandering Glider, migrate long distances.
The four-spotted pennant dragonfly is found throughout the southern tier of the United States as far west as Arizona. It's also been spotted in New Jersey. In Florida, its found in most peninsular counties, including all of South Florida, and in a few panhandle counties as far west as Leon and Wakulla. Like other dragonflies, it likes to be around lakes and ponds, since that's where it spends the first part of its life, and that's where it reproduces. The scientific name of the four-spotted pennant is brachymesia gravida. Mature individuals have a dark, slender body, a large black spot between the nodus and stigma of each wing and white stigmas (the only dragonfly with white stigmas). Juveniles are mostly orange-brown with white spots on the side of the face.
This Four-spotted Pennant is from my archives! (Hope I am right about the ID Mary)

Based on online information I think this is a short tailed weasel.
We first noticed it in the yard about 5 days ago, raing through the grass, up and down trees and bushes and burrowing around our little water feature.
Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 27, 2022.
Mustela genus(?)
As nocturnal animals, weasels sleep during the day and are active at night. Most of a weasel's time awake consists of hunting, storing excess food and eating. Their bodies don't store fat, so they need a constant supply of food to provide enough energy. In fact, the least weasel eats 40 to 60 percent of its body weight every day, according to the Nature Conservancy.
Though weasels can dig their own burrows quite quickly, they sometimes take over other animals' burrows and make them their own. They have even been known to take over termite hills.

La Kawasaki Ninja H2 est une hypersportive suralimentée homologuée pour la route. Sa sœur radicale, la Ninja H2R, est exclusivement destinée aux circuits fermés et pousse la performance beaucoup plus loin : une machine sans compromis développant environ 310 chevaux !
Avec son moteur quatre-cylindres de 998 cm³ équipé d’un compresseur, la H2R atteint une vitesse véritablement stupéfiante.
Kawasaki annonçait environ 380 km/h, mais le pilote turc Kenan Sofuoğlu est parvenu à afficher 400 km/h au compteur lors d’une tentative réalisée sur une longue route fermée en Turquie.🤔
Atteindre une telle vitesse est déjà vertigineux sur une ligne droite spécialement préparée ; sur un circuit classique, avec ses virages et ses freinages, la H2R ne peut évidemment pas exploiter pleinement ce potentiel.
La Ninja H2 reste la version destinée à la route, tandis que la H2R représente la machine de circuit ultime.
Et heureusement : 310 chevaux et 400 km/h entre deux feux rouges, ce ne serait plus de la conduite… mais une véritable catapulte ! 🤔
__________________________
The Kawasaki Ninja H2 is a supercharged hypersport motorcycle that is road legal. Its radical sister, the Ninja H2R, is designed exclusively for closed circuits and takes performance to an entirely different level: a no-compromise machine producing around 310 horsepower.
With its 998 cc four-cylinder engine and supercharger, the H2R can reach a truly astonishing speed.
Kawasaki quoted a top speed of around 380 km/h, but Turkish rider Kenan Sofuoğlu managed to reach 400 km/h on the motorcycle’s speedometer during a run on a long closed road in Turkey. 🤔
Reaching such a speed is already breathtaking on a specially prepared straight; on a conventional circuit, with its corners and braking zones, the H2R obviously cannot fully exploit its potential.
The Ninja H2 is the road-going version, while the H2R represents the ultimate track machine.
And fortunately so: 310 horsepower and 400 km/h between two traffic lights would no longer be riding… it would be more like being fired from a catapult ! 🤔

Manhattan Beach is a city in southwestern Los Angeles County, California, United States, on the Pacific coast south of El Segundo, and north of Hermosa Beach. As of the 2010 census, the population was 35,135,[10] and in 2019 the population was estimated to be 35,183.
Manhattan Beach is one of the three Beach Cities, along with Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach, that make up the South Bay region of Los Angeles County. The community is known for a long beach stretching approximately 2.1 miles (3.4 km) and roughly 450 feet (140 m) wide. The climate is unusually moderate because of Manhattan Beach's proximity to the Pacific Ocean, with an average year-round high temperature of 69.1 °F (20.6 °C) and an average year-round low of 56.4 °F (13.6 °C).
Its schools are run independently of Los Angeles Unified School District with a separate school board based in Manhattan Beach. Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach is ranked in the top 1% of high schools nationally and has students from both Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach.
According to a May 18, 2017 PropertyShark study, the City of Manhattan Beach's 90266 zip code ranked as the 32nd most expensive zip code in the United States. According to a December 2017 PropertyShark study, the City of Manhattan Beach had the highest median price per square foot for residential properties ($943 per square foot) of all 88 cities in L.A. County, ahead of Malibu and Beverly Hills. The residents have a median age of 44.2 years, an average household size of 2.5, and 55.6% are married. Manhattan Beach is known for having less traffic congestion than other parts of Los Angeles, along with many fine dining options, and a casual beach culture. According to a March 6, 2020 article in several newspapers (including the Orange County Register), the City of Manhattan Beach California was ranked as the "Best City" to live in the United States. The study ranking Manhattan Beach as the nation's top city was conducted by 24/7 Wall St., a news and survey organization.
The sandy coastal landscape of what is now Manhattan Beach was likely inhabited by the Tongva tribe of Native Americans. Archeological work in the nearby Chowigna excavation show evidence of inhabitants as far back as 7,100 years ago. The Tongva Village of Ongovanga was located near neighbouring Redondo Beach.[12] It has been mentioned at the Historical Society that the location of a portion of current day Manhattan Beach may have been used as a Native American burial grounds.
In the mid-18th century, the Portolá expedition was the first European land exploration of present-day California. It traveled north from San Diego to the San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles Basin, San Fernando Valley, Monterey Bay, and San Francisco Bay. In 1784, the Spanish Crown deeded Rancho San Pedro, a tract of over 75,000 acres (300 km2), to soldier Juan José Domínguez. It included what is today the entire Port of Los Angeles; San Pedro, Los Angeles; Harbor City, Los Angeles; Wilmington, Los Angeles; Carson; Compton; the Dominguez Hills; Lomita; the Palos Verdes Peninsula; Redondo Beach; Hermosa Beach; Manhattan Beach; and Torrance.
In 1863, a Scottish immigrant, Sir Robert Burnett, purchased Rancho Sausal Redondo and Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela from Avila's heirs for $33,000. Ten years later in 1873, Burnett leased the ranch to a Canadian, Daniel Freeman (not the American of the same name, who was the first to file a claim under the Homestead Act of 1862). Burnett returned to Scotland. Freeman moved his wife and three children onto the ranch and started growing various crops. On May 4, 1885, Freeman bought the ranch from Burnett for $140,000. At some point after this the location was informally called "Shore Acres."
George H. Peck owned a lot of the land that became part of the north section of Manhattan Beach. A coin flip decided the town's name. Around 1902, the beach suburb was named "Manhattan" after developer Stewart Merrill's home, the New York City borough of Manhattan.
Upon the city's incorporation in 1912, Peck divided out a 2 block area for minority residents on the beachfront. The Bruce family bought some of the area and developed it into the first beach resort for black Americans in Los Angeles, Bruce’s Beach. In the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan began violently harassing the resort’s visitors, the Bruce family, and four other black families that bought lots. In 1924, the city condemned the neighborhood and seized the land from the black property owners under the ostensible pretense of building a park.
"Beach" was appended to the city's name, in 1927, at the behest of the postmaster.
The land in Manhattan Beach was formerly sand dunes. During the 1920s and 1930s, Kuhn Brothers Construction Company leveled uneven sandy sites and some excess sand was sold and shipped to Waikiki, Hawaii, to convert their reef and rock beach into a sandy beach. The sand was also used to build the Los Angeles Coliseum and portions of the Pacific Coast Highway.
The McMartin preschool trials, allegedly an example of day care sex abuse hysteria, started with investigations of a Manhattan Beach preschool in 1983. The trials ran from 1987 to 1990 and resulted in no convictions.[15] HBO dramatized this case in the Emmy-winning Indictment: The McMartin Trial,[16] which was partially filmed in Manhattan Beach.

Well, Happy New Year everyone!!! To say that I've taken a bit of a break from Flickr is an understatement! I don't believe that I've posted for almost 8 months .... that's crazy! I think that I just needed to take a creative break in my routine ... and I did put Flickr back on my radar for 2020 ... but I had company in town which prevented me from posting until now. So, without further adieu, I hope to get back to posting regularly. Fingers crossed anyways. :-)
I thought I would start out with my absolute favorite subject ... brown bears ... especially those in hot pursuit of salmon. This particular one just came up for air, shaking off the excess water in the process. To me, no subject is more exhilarating than this. To witness their power, skill, and survival instincts, is eye-opening indeed. Anyone else out there agree?
Thanks so much for being quite patient with me ... and I'll be around to checking out everyone's photo streams as well. I have missed my Flickr family for sure. Many of you have become my shooting buddies and tour guides when passing through your areas, a nd most importantly, my source of inspiration. Thanks and Happy New Year!!!
A pair of young Elephant Seal bulls practice their battle skills in advance of the breeding season at Año Nuevo State Preserve. Beginning in December the main herd starts to arrive including the humongous alpha males who will do battle for the right to breed. On this day there were a few hundred seals on the beach. By January there will be up to 10,000 seals who come here to mate, to molt, and to give birth.
The likelihood of these two young bulls mating with a female is quite remote. In order to climb the breeding ladder, they would need to win many battles against alpha males weighing in the excess of 2500 lbs. But who knows, the need to breed is strong in these beautiful animals. You can witness the breeding season in full swing on docent led tours, just don't get too close. You may end up in some alpha male's harem.

I tried something different with this macro shot of the stamen. I set the camera to Super macro as usual but also set it to instant zoom cropping the amount of excess petal around the heart of the flower by two.
Although it's not easy to use the two settings without a tripod, thankfully I had a good solid wall to lean on.
Connected to this photo which was taken on the super macro setting only. Will be interested if it really has made a difference, so comments welcome..
