(Cercopithecus mona) The mona monkey is an Old World monkey that usually lives in west Africa between Ghana and Cameroon. But they are also found on the island of Grenada as it was transported to the island aboard slave ships headed to the New World during the 18th century. This one jumped on my husbands shoulder and then proceeded to open his backpack and extract a banana (our lunch) and then ran off with it!

For those who are interested, an extract from this afternoon's Journal entry.
"At 5 o'clock we were back on the road to Sousousvlei for the afternoon drive, along the way we saw Oryx and Ostriches. We stopped at dune number 45, I gave Ruby my Panasonic camera and she went off to take photos of wild flowers. I took close up shots of the sand dune and its environment.
Next we drove to dune number 47; this was a stunning landscape, especially in the afternoon light. We watched the sun set at dune 47, Ruby took photos of the sunset with one of my cameras, while I used another. Neither of us was interested in sharing drinks and nibbles, we were civil but an impossible gulf had opened between us.
I asked about taking a hot air balloon or a sightseeing flight the next morning. Ruby said I'd never get into the balloon basket and besides the next morning would be windy and unsuitable for ballooning. She was no longer interested in anything I wanted if I wasn’t interested in what she wanted me to do. She had also lost sight of the fact I was the client and she the guide. Her message was loud and clear.
Back at the camp we had Orix kebabs for dinner, tough as old leather and not at all tasty."
An extract from this morning's Journal:
Up at 5 this morning and out in the safari vehicles before dawn. Our guide promised us two male lions; much excitement. As he searched we came upon Kudu, Impala, Springbok, Zebra, Eland, Baboons, Vervet Monkeys, Hartebees and any number of raptors and smaller birds.
Over the radio the other guide said he'd found two lions resting by the road at the top of a rise. By now the sun was just above the horizon and the lions were catching the first of the morning warmth.
We arrived to find two safari vehicles with the lions. We circled around them at a safe distance, the low angle of the sun on their faces was perfect, I couldn’t stop taking photos.
I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.
Started to watch 'Tales from the Loop' recently and inspired to build some retro-futuristic MOCs.

Definition: a small elite securing and extracting ("raking in") an excessive slice of the economic cake without investing in the common good. In the UK, this has created a high-inequality, high-poverty cycle. This cycle is the responsibility of the British Tory Party and, consequentially, the rake ought to be its visual signature - not the tree.

A male Green Thorntail Hummingbird extracts nectar. This wide ranging hummingbird is small and will frequent feeders. There are many of these shimmering green hummingbirds at Rancho Naturalista, Costa Rica.
This Australian parrot is a Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) and it is using its bristle brush tongue to extract sweet sticky nectar and pollen from within the flowers of a 'Corymbia' Summer Red (formerly Eucalyptus).

Als erster Nationalpark des Vereinigten Königreichs erhielt er im Juli 2017 den Status eines UNESCO-Welterbes. Er liegt in der Grafschaft Cumbria im Nordwesten Englands rund 130 km von Manchester entfernt und erstreckt sich über 2172 km². Die Cumbrian Mountains machen einen Großteil der eindrucksvollen Berg- und Seenlandschaft aus. Alle geographischen Punkte über 3000 Fuß (914,4 m) in England liegen im Lake District, ebenso der größte natürliche See Englands, der Windermere.

At the same time I tried to extract her beautiful face from lowlight environment.
I can never resist FebRovery, and wasn’t going to let my tiny rover from the Astro Warden be my only contribution! This mining vehicle brought back lots of memories of playing with Power Miners and was a ton of fun to build. I managed to utilize some interesting yellow elements I’ve had around for a while along with the unusual sand blue technic column.
The saw arm can rotate 360° and extend or retract for mining or transit mode. The windscreen also opens, and the whole roof can be removed for easier access to the cabin.
Full credit for the wheel design goes to Frost.

The extractor spins one way then the other to empty the honey from the cells in the frames. The honey goes into a sump, the wax is trapped in the first compartment and then honey collects in the next one until it is pumped out. We sell our honey but are not going to be well off any day soon 😊

Back from a couple of days in the lakes. More walking than photography, but timed a quick visit to Wastwater to capture this.
In the middle of a storm, a strange calm suddenly appeared.

All argan sold today is produced by a women's cooperative that shares the profits among the local women of the Berber tribe. The cooperative has established an ecosystem reforestation project so that the supply of argan oil will not run out and the income that is currently supporting the women will not disappear. The money is providing healthcare and education to the local women, and supporting the entire community as a whole.
Argan oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the endemic argan tree, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. The tree, a relict species from the Tertiary age, is extremely well adapted to drought and other environmentally difficult conditions of southwestern Morocco. The species Argania once covered North Africa and is now endangered and under protection of UNESCO.[1] The Argan tree grows wild in semi-desert soil, its deep root system helping to protect against soil erosion and the northern advance of the Sahara.[2] This biosphere reserve, the Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve, covers a vast intramontane plain of more than 2,560,000 hectares, bordered by the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains and open to the Atlantic in the west. Argan oil remains one of the rarest oils in the world due the small and very specific growing area.
Argan trees were first reported by the explorer Leo Africanus in 1510. An early specimen was taken to Amsterdam where it was cultivated by Lady Beaufort at Badminton c1711

"Sandpiper 9 this is Camp 6, come in"
"Sandpiper 9 on station. What's up base?"
"Pack it up, Camp 4 reports Aquashark scouts in their vicinity"
"Negative Camp 6, I just laid into a fresh trench"

"Nothin. Buckets up, back in 30."
This was built for the WackLUG 2022 BrickCon collab, which was absolutely killer. I've had this conveyor belt in my collection for 15 years, laughing at me because I could never find a good use for it. The collab was the perfect moment to finally get it into something.
I've just founded a new group www.flickr.com/groups/think-extract where I will discuss daily all the hidden, sublime messages, we are able to discover in photographies - if we think - and make the effort, to use language and describe elaborated; I would be glad, if you would have the interest to join, discussing, reading ...
WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY LOVELY… Rose
Thank you Peter Sarstedt
A crying Rose. The best roses come from my own garden, more fragrant and more opulent they are.
Monochromatic? Not really he? All the shades of grey... from a true black to white... as it should be!
A flower image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasised without the colour. Don't you agree?
