In the Pacific Northwest we have an excessive heat warning, and we are suffering through unprecedented temperatures for June. Aargh! my air-conditioning is not scheduled to be installed for another two weeks. Heat records are falling and it's impossible find a cool spot in my house, so, for distraction from my misery, I'm re-processing a photo of my beloved Mr. Purry Furry who has since passed over the Rainbow Bridge at the ripe old age of 20 years. The original image can be found in the album "Mr. Purry Furry and Friends".

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a green day at Color my World Daily and I have another green picture to show you !!
I always wanted to fly but unfortunately my excessive consumption of Nutella will not allow this to happen… But I can daydream about flying… just like Miss Pear… She is always dreaming about flying away to some beautiful place with palm trees, the ocean and gin and tonic… This place is her getaway from her stressful life as a pear… But of course she knows that flying away isn’t possible… She is too heavy and she can’t let go the tree yet… But daydreaming about flying away is certainly possible. So that is what she does: flying away in her imagination and waiting for a day when she will be ready to let go the tree…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Esta foto fue plublicada con anterioridad, la realicé tras un vuelo justo a la hora del ocaso con mínima luz, el encuadre y la iluminación me encantaba, pero el nivel de ruido era excesivo, ahora el RAW ha sido reeditado con Lightroom con unos resultados mucho mejores.

I understand that excessive sleep is a sign of depression - perhaps these sad looking blooms need some counselling...(or at the very least, a warm hug).
Sorry for the excessive posting - this is one of my main sanity savers these days. Thank you for looking!
Bovinophobia is the excessive (and often irrational) fear of cows or cattle. The word originates from Latin 'bovi' meaning ox or cattle and Greek 'phobo's meaning fear. Its alternative terms are Taurophobia, where tauro is Latin for bull.

Hi Everyone, The US is having an excessive heat wave today, so decided to spend some time this morning to take and share a photo. Thank you for allowing me to share with you. Many of you want another risque, erotic themed set of photos. I have a few i am working on and will be posting them soon for you. :) xoxo
Dark orange & yellow crocosmia
plant.Crocosmia
Crocosmia, or Montbretias as they are colloquially known, are really valuable for adding warm red and orange tones into the summer border, a contrast in shape and form to the wealth of summer daisies in flower at that time. Given conditions where they are happy they can be rewarding and long lived. They retreat each winter to a corm – a swollen stem – each year producing new bulb like structure. Over the years these annual corms can pile up to form lengthy strings with the older corms having some role in providing nutrition to the youngest active corm. It is on account of this that the old practice of annual lifting of corms can be detrimental. Also old wisdom had you lift and replant corms late in the year, a practice that didn’t give the corms enough time to settle before winter.
Crocosmia are relatively easy to grow and it might seem that all Crocosmia are similar and require the same treatment. There is a universal desire for a warm spot in sun or dappled shade and a soil that is neither excessively heavy, nor boggy. However, a little study of the parent species can lead to a greater understanding of the condition individual varieties would really like. Several of the species are to be found growing in light woodland in the wild (C.aurea and C.potsii) or in damp grassland (C.paniculata). As a generalisation they come from environments which are moist for the growing season.
The varying hardiness of Crocosia cultivars can be attributed to the contribution the parents make to their makup. Varieties of Crocosmia potsii are considered the most cold hardy, with those of Crocosmia aurea being the least. Cold isn’t the only hardiness issue, Winter wet is also a factor, with Crocosmia potsii being exposed to a fair degree of moisture all year around in its native environment whilst other species such as Crocosmia pearsei needing a lot more exposure to warm dry conditions to be happy.
In the growing season, Crocosmia masoniorum likes it on the warm and dry side, tending to decline in rich moist soils. This contrasts with the requirement of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora for a moist, rich warm spot to produce of its best. Cultivars of Crocosmia paniculata tend to be shy to flower in dry conditions.
If you live in an area where you need to lift Crocosmia corms against the winter cold, it is essential to keep them from drying out over winter. Store them in peat or shaving over winter to prevent them dessicating and when it comes to Spring plant them in cool conditions to allow them to rehydrate before shooting. Planting warm from a dry corm is a recipe for disaster.
The name comes from the Greek ‘krokos’ = saffron and ‘osme’ = smell, referring to the strong smell of saffron given off by the dried flowers when immersed in water.
Floods Before Covid
In 2020 excessive rainfall led to the wettest February since records began, in 1766, in England and Wales, homes and businesses were flooded as rivers burst their banks and breached flood defences. We were fortunate where I live but still ducks swam between these trees normally growing on dry land.

Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, España.
Los lagos de Covadonga son dos pequeños lagos, el Enol y el Ercina, de origen glaciar situados en la parte asturiana del parque nacional de los Picos de Europa, en el macizo occidental de dicha cadena montañosa. Existe un tercer lago, el Bricial, que solo tiene agua durante el deshielo, pero también pertenece al conjunto
Se sitúan en el concejo de Cangas de Onís y se accede a ellos a través de una carretera de 14,5 km que nace en el Real Sitio de Covadonga para llegar en primer lugar al lago Enol, incluyendo también una pequeña carretera que les llevaría hasta el Lago Ercina. Su frecuente uso desde 1983 como final de etapa en la Vuelta ciclista a España ha popularizado internacionalmente el paraje.
La afluencia masiva de turistas, sobre todo aficionados al ciclismo, ha obligado a limitar el desarrollo de pruebas ciclistas en el entorno de Los Lagos. No obstante, la zona cuenta con una infraestructura turística.
La excesiva afluencia de visitas, en especial en temporada alta, también ha supuesto que el acceso en coche a los Lagos esté restringido, pudiendo acceder únicamente utilizando el transporte público habilitado para ello. Los vehículos particulares no pueden circular por la carretera de acceso a Los Lagos durante 6 meses al año, en temporada alta. En temporada baja, no hay restricciones de acceso con vehículo particular.
En las proximidades del lago Ercina, en Buferrera, hasta 1979 se explotaron minas de hierro, manganeso y mercurio. Las personas que visitan dicho paraje tienen a su disposición un aparcamiento "aparcamiento de Buferrera", un centro de visitantes , un refugio y dos bares restaurante para su disfrute.
The lakes of Covadonga are two small lakes, Enol and Ercina, of glacial origin located in the Asturian part of the Picos de Europa national park, in the western massif of said mountain chain. There is a third lake, Bricial, which only has water during the thaw, but also belongs to the group
They are located in the municipality of Cangas de Onís and are accessed through a 14.5 km road that begins in the Royal Site of Covadonga to first reach Lake Enol, also including a small road that would take them to Lake Ercina. Its frequent use since 1983 as the end of the stage in the Cycling Tour of Spain has made the place internationally popular.
The massive influx of tourists, especially cycling fans, has forced the development of cycling events in the Los Lagos area to be limited. However, the area has a tourist infrastructure.
The excessive influx of visitors, especially in high season, has also meant that access by car to the Lakes is restricted, with access only possible using public transport enabled for this purpose. Private vehicles cannot circulate on the access road to Los Lagos for 6 months a year, during high season. In low season, there are no access restrictions with a private vehicle.
In the vicinity of Lake Ercina, in Buferrera, iron, manganese and mercury mines were exploited until 1979. People who visit this area have at their disposal a parking lot "Buferrera parking", a visitor center, a shelter and two restaurant bars for their enjoyment.
An excessive love for oneself, belief in one’s abilities, the desire to excel everyone else. Pride is often considered to be the root cause of the other six of the seven deadly sins.
“The good thing about evil people is you can always trust them to do something, well, evil.”

We walked part of the Broads from Ludham Bridge to How Hill yesterday and it was a cracking walk with a few mills to be seen on the way and lots of reeds. No chance of getting tired from excessive hill climbing as it is as flat as a pancake!

Yesterday's fantastic clouds continued all the way to sunset.
Decided to take this one to the very edge of being able to look myself in the mirror as the description of the sliders sunday group says. And even then, I'm just peeking around the side of the mirror.
This is a pano created from 8 portrait orientation shots, hand blended in Ps. Each layer had to have its own color balance adjustment layer with lots of sliding. I'm always amazed that even with the camera set on manual everything, how differently the sensor will render hues from one shot to another, moving only millimeters from one to another.
After all that, the layers were merged up and that was copied. I used a technique from a youtube video by Calvin Hollywood to create a more dodge burned look.
(I know, Calvin Hollywood?)
It involves vivid light mode, inverting, blurring, merging down, changing blend modes, copying to accentuate effects. I had to write down the method due to my oh so wonderful memory.
Then into Nik Viveza for spot sliding using control points.
And some isolated dodging, burning, adjustments using luminosity based channels and masks.
And that's how you get to the point where you can look yourself in the mirror after editing, but only with one eye, and that eye squinting in embarrassment.
Until how long, humans can survive inhabiting the earth?
Maybe we are too strong and so greedy, utilizing natural resources. So it's destroying ourselves ...
Excessive consumption causes the depletion of the earth's ecological resources. Forests, oceans, agricultural land and mining become the mainstay of the human economy. The endless hunting of natural resources on Planet Earth will encourage ecological destruction on the planet
we are tested with various kinds of problems on earth, can survive or we are wasted replaced with another life. that can survive and adapt to changes in the earth ....
Or we are merely following destiny, destiny and following the spin of nature, in filling the life of the earth ... Like the generation before the human race exists.
"Sometimes we like elephants waiting for time to disappear from the face of the earth, just a memory ..."

The Black-Headed Grosbeaks will not be around much longer. Soon they will head south. I wonder if the excessive heat will keep them around longer? Today we hit 98 degrees!
I finally had hummingbirds, two males, willing to stay perched off the feeder long enough to take photos. Unfortunately the light was poor so had had to use excessively high ISO. IMG_2115
That's how a week of doctor's appointments feels! (all good results tho')

Excessive heat in Bay Area . Miss the beautiful winter in Norway . Be safe out & enjoy the holiday weekend !! Stay cool . Thank you for stopping by !
First of all, sorry for my long absence. Due to the extreme heat that we´re suffering in Madrid and to the excessively late sunsets I haven´t been able to go out from home to take pictures.
As I said before, and as many of you will know, we are experiencing a very long, suffocating and madding heatwave in many parts of Spain, Madrid included.
The majority of the days, the highest temperatures are reaching 102F or 104F (39ºC o 40ºC), with total absence of humidity (I recognize that´s an advantage when it´s so hot) and with lowest about 72F to 77F (entre 22ºC y 25ºC) , or even more.
In my humble opinion, this extreme heat is unbearable and I prefer to stay at home with the air conditioning system that going out and suffer a heat strike or something worse.
Talking about this picture, it was taken at 10:00 pm (fortunately sunsets are happening earlier everyday), but anyway, here you can see the light at that hour. The temperature was 91F (33ºC) with completely calm wind.
As you can see in the picture, some cars are heading towards my workplace, Terminal 4 in Madrid Barajas Airport, these summer days with much air traffic and many operations, as you can imagine.
Here you can see the two main control towers, the nearest in the NET building and the farthest one in the Satellite building or SAT.
I can see this scene everyday during my short drive from home to the airport terminal, and I wanted to share it with you.
I hope you like this picture and I take advantage to wish you a good Summer, or Winter if you´re in the Southern Hemisphere, with a lot of good vibes and pleasing moments.

Terminal 4 del Aeropuerto de Madrid-Barajas en un caluroso anochecer, Madrid, España
En primer lugar, disculpas por mi larga ausencia. Debido al calor extremo que estamos sufriendo en Madrid y a las puestas de sol demasiado tardías no he podido salir de casa a hacer fotos.
Como decía antes, y como muchos de vosotros sabréis, estamos viviendo una ola de calor muy larga, asfixiante y enloquecedora en muchas partes de España, Madrid incluida.
La mayoría de los días, las temperaturas máximas alcanzan los 39ºC o 40ºC, con ausencia total de humedad (reconozco que es una ventaja cuando hace tanto calor) y con mínimas entre 22ºC y 25ºC, o incluso más.
En mi humilde opinión, este calor extremo es insoportable y prefiero quedarme en casa con el sistema de aire acondicionado que salir y sufrir un golpe de calor o algo peor.
Hablando de esta foto, fue tomada a las 10:00 pm (afortunadamente las puestas de sol son más tempranas todos los días), pero de todos modos, aquí se puede ver la luz a esa hora. La temperatura era de 33ºC con viento completamente en calma.
Como podéis ver en la imagen, unos coches se dirigen hacia mi lugar de trabajo, la Terminal 4 del Aeropuerto de Madrid Barajas, estos días de verano con mucho tráfico aéreo y muchas operaciones, como os podéis imaginar.
Aquí se pueden ver las dos torres de control principales, la más cercana en el edificio NET y la más alejada en el edificio Satélite o SAT.
Puedo ver esta escena todos los días durante mi corto camino en coche de casa a la terminal del aeropuerto, y quería compartirla con vosotros.
Espero que os guste esta foto y aprovecho para desearos un buen Verano, o Invierno si estáis en el Hemisferio Sur, con muchas buenas vibraciones y gratos momentos.

With excessive heat gone, cooler sunny days and cool nights this is a more relaxed season.
With colors in our gardens are fading and some brown tones settling in I still find it peaceful working in the yard. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and remain kind. Don’t forget to wash your hands🙏.
Due to excessive amount of work days this week, it will be "Grab-a-Box" week. This one from May of 2002. First up is a daylight Susquehanna SU-99 accelerating through CP Hall at Campbell Hall, NY after clearing the Hudson Seconday.
Due to the excessive noise, workers there take their own measures to project their hearing. one of the best solutions which help prevent excessive noise and dust. a deshi solution, but it works miracle!

These wee fantails are excessively fast. They have to be to catch insects while flying. Here I was very lucky to catch one at take-off from a lancewood tree.
Have a good Sunday.
Thank you Petra ps70 ...,,.,., for the title as it swings its cape!
An excessively curious red squirrel no doubt checking to see if my camera is loaded with squirrel food. Despite the tame appearances, this is one of the wild reds found on the island of Anglesey. They weren't easy to find, but when I eventually chanced upon one, it was very obliging!
"Guy who insists on buying everyone, even strangers their drink guy". Usually excessive cash on hand and/or on the bar despite living in a 96% cashless society. Often you won't even have been able to enjoy half your drink before he yells across the bar "You ready for another, I'm buying!" yet again. Most likely the dude is working for his Dad's Fortune 500 Co. while you struggled at a minimum wage internship changing ink toners in a badly fitting yet affordable white dress shirt each day.
