Excessive tweaking in Color Efex, and then a big dollop of de-haze added in Photoshop...Happy Sliders Sunday everyone :-)

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".

A tiny little wader seen in winters, but the last season was sighted only during the return migration on its way to Europe. And there were around 30-40 of them. I found a neat spot to lie down and take a couple of shots and couldn't be more pleased with the outcomes that day. The birds were very active - playing and chasing each other at times.

 

The water needs to be shallow for them and this season there is not a lake that is shallow in our region due to excessive rains we had. I am not sure if we will have a decent winter birding this season because of that. Going far off places for birding brings it own risks and dangers!

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Aún quedan algunos aportes hídricos que mantienen la vida salvaje en Doñana. Este es uno de ellos y allí encontramos una pequeña colonia de flamencos salvajes en la que se mezclan adultos y jóvenes pasando el invierno.

Esperemos que los responsables de proteger la vida en este emblemático lugar reaccionen sin demora. La sequía y la excesiva explotación de los recursos hídricos entre otros factores, están provocando lo que puede llegar a ser la destrucción para siempre de la riqueza y biodiversidad en las marismas del Guadalquivir.

  

There are still some water supplies that maintain wildlife in Doñana. This is one of them and there we find a small colony of wild flamingos in which adults and young people mix, spending the winter.

Let's hope that those responsible for protecting life in this emblematic place will react without delay. Drought and excessive exploitation of water resources, among other factors, are causing what may become the permanent destruction of wealth and biodiversity in the Guadalquivir marshes.

мy мυѕιc "INZO - Overthinker"

 

"A person who thinks all the time

Has nothing to think about except thoughts

So, he loses touch with reality

And lives in a world of illusions

 

By thoughts, I mean specifically, chatter in the skull

Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words

Of reckoning and calculating

I'm not saying that thinking is bad

Like everything else, It's useful in moderation

A good servant, but a bad master

 

And all so-called civilized peoples

Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive

Because, through excessive thinking

They have lost touch with reality

That's to say

We confuse signs

With the real world

 

This is the beginning of meditation

 

Most of us would have

Rather money than tangible wealth

And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed

And to read about it the next day in the newspaper

Is oddly more fun for us than the original event

 

This is a disaster

For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs

We are destroying nature

We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses

 

Time to wake up

What is reality?

Obviously no one can say

Because it isn't words

It isn't material, that's just an idea

 

Reality is

 

The point cannot be explained in words

 

I'm not trying to put you down

It's an expression of you as you are

One must live

We need to survive, to go on

We must go on!"

   

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.

#Macro Mondays - #MacroMondays - #Paper

 

In a time of absolutely excessive digitisation and a fight against our own history it would be necessary to stop for a moment a to remember. Where would we stand today, if there were not uncountless people who wrote down their knowledge and their experiences on paper. On what would we built our future ? I have my doubts that some hundret years from now USB sticks, harddrives our clouds

will reach the same importance.

This here, is the oldest paper I own. It belongs to a chant book printed in 1883.

  

In einer Zeit der absolut exzessiven Digitalisierung und dem Kampf gegen die eigene Geschichte wäre es mal nötig anzuhalten und uns zu Besinnen. Wo wären wir heute, wenn es nicht unzählige Menschen gegeben hätte, die ihr Wissen und ihre Erfahrungen zu Papier gebracht hätten. Worauf würden wir unsere Zukunft erbauen ? Ich habe meine Zweifel, dass USB Sticks, Festplatten und clouds in ein paar hundert Jahren den selben Wert erlangen werden. Dies ist das älteste Papier, was ich besitze. Es gehört zu einem Gesangbuch was im Jahr 1883 gedruckt wurde.

Apple pie with ice cream and a cup of chocolate. Comfort food for the cold days ahead.

 

Betty Crocker Apple Pie

 

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening

4 to 6 tablespoons cold water

1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt 8 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (8 medium)

2 tablespoons butter

 

Crust:

In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).

 

Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.

 

Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one pastry round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.

 

Filling:

In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir in apples. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.

 

Roll other round of pastry. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold top pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired. Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.

 

Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Serve warm if desired.

Picture with ruler in the first commentbox

 

I was the eldest child in our family and for a few years the only child, so my mother spent all her time with me. Long before I went to school she taught me how to cut PAPER DOILIES.

Cutting paper doilies became my passion for months on end, I started with news paper, but a an uncle brought me loads of left over paper from the factory where he worked. The paper came in two colors, bright orang and soft mint. Our house and the houses of family and friends were decorated excessively with my orange and mint paper doilies.

 

My mother has always been very supportive of my artwork, many of my old aunts used to say she had better taught me some housework.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ik was het oudste kind in ons gezin en een paar jaar het enige kind, mijn moeder bracht al haar tijd met mij door. Lang voordat ik naar school ging, leerde ze me papieren kleedjes knippen.

Het knippen van papierenkleedjes was maandenlang mijn passie, ik begon met krantenpapier, maar een oom bracht me een lading overgebleven papier uit de fabriek waar hij werkte. Ik kreeg twee kleuren paier: helder oranje en zacht mint. Ons huis en de huizen van familie en vrienden waren ruim versierd met mijn oranje en mint papieren kleedjes.

 

Mijn moeder heeft mijn kunst aktiiteiten altijd gestimuleerd., mijn oude tantes zeiden dat ze me beter wat huishoudelijk werk had kunnen bijbrengen.

"Controlled burns" are done to remove diseased plants, excessive dry brush that might be tinder for a wildfire, invasive species, or for other control reasons.

 

Sometimes, they lose "control". A horrible example is a controlled burn in Michigan several years ago, which was done to promote the growth of Jack Pine trees, a necessity to encourage the nesting of endangered Kirtland Warblers. A windstorm spread the fire to the devastation of almost an entire county of Michigan.

 

This picture shows the product of a controlled burn at Merritt Island NWR. New growth was evident throughout the area, which was probably the desired result, but a very large area was burned off. No one could say if that was the intent.

Sunset, excessively edited!!

 

This was from our holiday in Somerset last summer and the view was our outlook from the holiday home .... it was very remote and beautiful. We had several hikes across these fields and hills.

 

Wishing you all a good Friday and great weekend ahead! :-))))

Very busy, busy. busy.

 

busy - excessively detailed or decorated.

Mahonia aquifolium, the Oregon grape or holly-leaved barberry, a species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae.

An evergreen shrub with pinnate leaves consisting of spiny leaflets, and dense clusters of yellow flowers in early spring, followed by dark bluish-black berries.

It is valued for its striking foliage and flowers, which often appear before those of other shrubs. It is resistant to summer drought, tolerates poor soils, and does not create excessive leaf litter. Its berries are very attractive for birds.

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.

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.

Anthurium

Anthurium is a genus of herbs often growing as epiphytes on other plants. Some are terrestrial.

General common names include anthurium, tailflower, flamingo flower, pigtail plant, and laceleaf.

The species are endemic in Middle America and South America.

 

It is a beautiful flower, but please attention for this:

All plants within the Anthurium genus are toxic to cats, dogs, and even horses. Each part of the plant, including the root, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds, poses a risk of toxicity. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause oral irritation, pain, swelling, excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. Keeping these plants away from your pets (and equines) is the best way to prevent a medical emergency

.

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.

Dank an Jonas für den Tipp

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.

Fern at Denver Botanical Garden, (with excessive processing...)

 

Explored 1-23-17

I watched this Eastern Gray Squirrel nibble on one or two of these berries, then he dropped the bunch.

 

Wikipedia says Nandina is generally considered non-toxic to humans but the berries are toxic to cats and grazing animals. Excessive consumption of the berries will kill birds such as cedar waxwings. Despite its toxicity, the berries can be left on the plants for birds to harvest in late winter.

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🙏.

Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, España.

 

El conjunto de los lagos de Covadonga está formado por 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.​ En Asturias son conocidos simplemente como los lagos.

Los vehículos particulares solo pueden circular a primera hora de la mañana (antes de las 8:30 a.m) y a última de la tarde ( a partir de las 20:00p.m). En temporada baja, no hay rectricciones de acceso con vehículo particular.

 

En las proximidades del lago Ercina, en Buferrera,​ hasta 1979 se explotaron minas de hierro, manganeso y mercurio.

The set of Covadonga lakes is made up of two small lakes, the Enol and the Ercina, of glacial origin, located in the Asturian part of the Picos de Europa National Park, in the western massif of said mountain range. There is a third lake, the Bricial, which only has water during the thaw, but it also belongs to the whole.In Asturias they are known simply as the lakes.

 

They are located in the council of Cangas de Onís and are accessed through a 14.5 km road that starts at the Real Sitio de Covadonga to reach Lake Enol first, including also 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 to limit the development of cycling events in the surroundings of Los Lagos. 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, and can only be accessed using public transport enabled for this. Private vehicles can only circulate first thing in the morning (before 8:30 a.m.) and late in the afternoon (after 20:00 p.m.). 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 place have at their disposal a "Buferrera parking" car park, a visitor center, a shelter and two restaurant bars for their enjoyment.

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!

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.

Because of excessive usage of pesticides they almost disappeared 30-40 years ago. But they are back again.

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.
