This is the stamen of a single geranium flower. Until I started looking for something to take a macro photo of I didn't even realize it had such a lovely little mini-flower in the centre. I'm still working on getting the focus just right, even at f22 the DOF is very very shallow.
That was what we woke up to this morning being on the edge of the weather warning for today. All gone now, thankfully as it was slippy in the slush...

Average June ice extent was the lowest in the satellite data record, from 1979 to 2010. Arctic air temperatures were higher than normal, and Arctic sea ice continued to decline at a fast pace. June saw the return of the Arctic dipole anomaly, an atmospheric pressure pattern that contributed to the record sea ice loss in 2007.

Overview of conditions
Arctic sea ice extent averaged 10.87 million square kilometers (4.20 million square miles) for the month of June, 1.29 million square kilometers (498,000 square miles) below the 1979 to 2000 average and 190,000 square kilometers (73,000 square miles) below the previous record low for the month of 11.06 million square kilometers (4.27 million square miles), set in 2006. In June, ice extent declined by 88,000 square kilometers (34,000 square miles) per day, more than 50% greater than the average rate of 53,000 square kilometers (20,000 square miles) per day. This rate of decline is the fastest measured for June.
During June, ice extent was below average everywhere except in the East Greenland Sea, where it was near average.
Seasonal variation in the extent of ice and snow cover is greatest in the Northern Hemisphere. Imagine the Earth with white caps on the top and bottom. The top cap increases by a factor of six from summer to winter, while the bottom cap only doubles from summer to winter. This difference is due to snow cover: in the Northern Hemisphere snow cover on land varies from less than 2 million km2 in the summer to 40 to 50 million km2 in the winter. There is little snow cover in the Southern Hemisphere. In Antarctica, land ice covers about 14 million km2 year round, with little change from summer to winter. Sea ice cover in the Arctic varies between approximately 7 and 15 million km2 seasonally, while sea ice cover in the Antarctic, though about the same extent at its peak, varies much more – from around 3 million km2 during summer to 18 million km2 in winter. This means that there is less multi-year sea ice in the Antarctic than in the Arctic, where much of the sea ice is older than one year.

Urban extents illustrate the shape and area of urbanized places. Urbanized localities are defined as places with with 5,000 or more inhabitants that are delineated by stable night-time lights. For poorly lit areas, alternate sources are used to estimate the extent of cities.

The extent of the pond/pool at the 14th at Dartmouth looking from the 15th fairway. This pond has to be driven.
Its been a few weeks since i took pictures of the squirrels & this female has near doubled in size, it wasn't until i got closer to her i noticed she was bulging in all the right places to suggest she was heavily pregnant.
For the amateur naturalist the extent of ones knowledge is going be restricted by the quality of ones reference material which is usually going to be a field guide. I have looked for years for a top quality field guide to insects but have yet to find one so inevitably I find and photograph a number of insects I never identify.
In the early spring we have a number of these small bees in our garden. Less than half an inch long they fly around almost continuously, perching only briefly on a leaf before launching off again. I believe this to be a 'mining bee'; one that nests under ground and you often see little 'volcanoes' on sandy soils from which they have emerged or where they intend to lay their eggs.
I can find no such mounds in our garden as yet but then, if this is the species I think it might be, our appear to be nearly all males!
Andrena bicolor in one of the very early species of mining bee to appear, March and April are their peak months. They are very partial to dandelions and blackthorn blossom. The females have quite a brownish-red back, the male is duller as in this photo. The male also has a yellow tip to its abdomen which one can just make out in this photo.
So, from the limited information at my disposal I am putting this down as Andrena bicolor but if I am wrong I would be really grateful if someone can enlighten me. Thanks.

Situated on a slight rise about 200m NW of the original extent of Manorhamilton town and separated from it by NE-SW section of the Owenbeg River. Sir Frederick Hamilton received a grant of over 5,000 acres in 1621-2 which he proceeded to increase, and by 1631 he had over 16,000 acres. He had undertaken to build a castle, which was probably not finished until 1636. In January 1642, Manorhamilton was besieged by Irish rebels under such leaders as Brian McDonogh and Owen O'Rourke or Teige O'Connor Sligo, who were encamped at Lurganboy. On January 30th they burnt the town but failed to capture the castle, and they lifted the siege on April 3rd. In the following year Hamilton used the castle as a base for raids as far afield as Sligo and Donegal. Hamilton left Ireland in 1643-4 and died in Scotland in 1647, but the castle seems to have survived until it was burnt by the earl of Clanrickard in 1652.
The castle is a two or three-storey rectangular house, although most of the third storey does not survive. There are two wings projecting on the N side which are not separated from the main house by party walls. The house is U-shaped and open to the N. The wings have a court between them, but its S wall, which would have had the original doorway, does not survive. There is a sallyport which is partly below ground level at the centre of the S wall of the house. There are four slightly rhomboid corner-towers which have three storeys at SW and SE, but those at NE and NW have five and four storeys with the use of mezzanine floors.
The house had two large transom and mullion windows in the S wall at ground and first floors, but these are either robbed or blocked and there are smaller windows, either blocked or robbed, on the E and W walls. The NE wing was probably the kitchen as its W wall at the ground floor has a large robbed fireplace. The main house was poorly provided with fireplaces with only small ones at the S end of the E and W walls and in each wing at the first floor.
Each floor of the corner towers usually has a window and two gun-loops, and some even have fireplaces. The corner towers communicated with the main house through lintelled passages, but there are no garderobes or latrines in the house.
All the quoins, except those from two angles of the corner towers, have been robbed, as has most of the dressed stonework from windows and doorways. There is a plinth all around and string-courses externally over the ground and first floors. The corner towers have three courses of banded masonry only on their outward-facing walls over the first floor.
The house is within a bawn defined by a reconstructed wall at W and remnants of the N end of the E wall. The interior is flush with the surviving top of the S wall, but there is evidence of corner towers only at SW where the W wall survives to three floors, and at SE where the foundations of a tower are visible. Elsewhere the bawn is defined by more modern walls, but there is no indication of where the original entrance may have been. Archaeological testing in the vicinity of the castle has failed to produce any related material, but an excavation inside the bawn has produced evidence of a cobbled surface in the courtyard and evidence of a basement within the castle. The castle has now been conserved, and guided tours can be had for a modest fee.

To some extent I have ignored Harold's Cross except for my visits to Mount Jerome Cemetery.
While travelling on the 16 bus today I overheard a group of young American visitors saying that Harold's Cross and nearby was the cool area of Dublin as it is now a hotspot for cafes and restaurants and they also mentioned the Harold's Cross Festival which includes everything from table quizzes to writing workshops and much to do in Harold's Cross Park. As a result of this conversation I decide to get off the bus and visit the park ... I always carry a very small Sony RX0 camera in my pocket.
This 1.25 hectare (3 acres) park was developed in 1894 by the Rathmines / Rathgar Commissioners and officially opened on May 1st 1894. The site of the park was used as commonage from medieval times. Designed by William Sheppard and Sons, “specialists in new parks and dripping pools” and costing £700 to construct, the park is essentially Victorian with a mixture of formal and natural styles. Dublin City Council took over the park in 1934 and has developed flower gardens and a play area while retaining the original design.
There are historical signs in the park explaining the parks history.
Urban extents illustrate the shape and area of urbanized places. Urbanized localities are defined as places with with 5,000 or more inhabitants that are delineated by stable night-time lights. For poorly lit areas, alternate sources are used to estimate the extent of cities.
Regardless of the extent of the ongoing tyranny and oppression I have been forced to deal with in Greece for nearly a decade under the harshest environment, my efforts in finding Justice and Freedom for my life have not stopped and it never will until my last breath.
Hence, on December 23rd, 2022, while enduring day 140th of my 4th Hunger Strike outside the UNHCR office in Athens, I left my shelter again to reach the Indian Embassy and plead for their help in providing urgent Humanitarian aid and mediation with this UN Agency.
Although I managed to speak with two Embassy representatives and even though they said they would help, ultimately they had gotten the Police involved to take me away. This time I was held in Police Custody for 2-hours before being let go.

Expanded the carnivorous plant bog out to my property line so that it was even with the driveway. Also added a very definite edge to keep the mow & blow crew my neighbor hires out of it and to better anchor the lining. Can't wait to plant it!
I visited the Tate Modern's new extension with it's viewing platform. As well as the new views on offer, arguably the most interesting views are that of the adjacent residential towers, which have been co-opted into an unwitting installation offering snapshots into people's lives.
Situated on a slight rise about 200m NW of the original extent of Manorhamilton town and separated from it by NE-SW section of the Owenbeg River. Sir Frederick Hamilton received a grant of over 5,000 acres in 1621-2 which he proceeded to increase, and by 1631 he had over 16,000 acres. He had undertaken to build a castle, which was probably not finished until 1636. In January 1642, Manorhamilton was besieged by Irish rebels under such leaders as Brian McDonogh and Owen O'Rourke or Teige O'Connor Sligo, who were encamped at Lurganboy. On January 30th they burnt the town but failed to capture the castle, and they lifted the siege on April 3rd. In the following year Hamilton used the castle as a base for raids as far afield as Sligo and Donegal. Hamilton left Ireland in 1643-4 and died in Scotland in 1647, but the castle seems to have survived until it was burnt by the earl of Clanrickard in 1652.
The castle is a two or three-storey rectangular house, although most of the third storey does not survive. There are two wings projecting on the N side which are not separated from the main house by party walls. The house is U-shaped and open to the N. The wings have a court between them, but its S wall, which would have had the original doorway, does not survive. There is a sallyport which is partly below ground level at the centre of the S wall of the house. There are four slightly rhomboid corner-towers which have three storeys at SW and SE, but those at NE and NW have five and four storeys with the use of mezzanine floors.
The house had two large transom and mullion windows in the S wall at ground and first floors, but these are either robbed or blocked and there are smaller windows, either blocked or robbed, on the E and W walls. The NE wing was probably the kitchen as its W wall at the ground floor has a large robbed fireplace. The main house was poorly provided with fireplaces with only small ones at the S end of the E and W walls and in each wing at the first floor.
Each floor of the corner towers usually has a window and two gun-loops, and some even have fireplaces. The corner towers communicated with the main house through lintelled passages, but there are no garderobes or latrines in the house.
All the quoins, except those from two angles of the corner towers, have been robbed, as has most of the dressed stonework from windows and doorways. There is a plinth all around and string-courses externally over the ground and first floors. The corner towers have three courses of banded masonry only on their outward-facing walls over the first floor.
The house is within a bawn defined by a reconstructed wall at W and remnants of the N end of the E wall. The interior is flush with the surviving top of the S wall, but there is evidence of corner towers only at SW where the W wall survives to three floors, and at SE where the foundations of a tower are visible. Elsewhere the bawn is defined by more modern walls, but there is no indication of where the original entrance may have been. Archaeological testing in the vicinity of the castle has failed to produce any related material, but an excavation inside the bawn has produced evidence of a cobbled surface in the courtyard and evidence of a basement within the castle. The castle has now been conserved, and guided tours can be had for a modest fee.
This shows the extent of the fading of the current setting figures on my BOC LD-185 welder today, but when I bought it in 1996 I wrote down the figures before it faded anymore than it had then. The figures have been put into the diagram in the previous picture to this one.
The 50 volt figures aren't too bad but the 80 volts ones are mostly unreadable now. I stopped cleaning the top of the welder some years ago to avoid removing even more information.
The cemetery, 40.5 acres (16.4 ha) in extent, contains the graves of 4,153 of American military dead from World War I. The majority of these died in the offensive that resulted in the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient that threatened Paris. The burial area is divided by Linden alignment trees and paths into four equal plots. At the center is a large sundial surmounted by an American eagle. To the right (west) is a statue of a World War I soldier and at the eastern end is a semi-circular overlook dominated by a sculpture representing a victory vase.
