I spotted this Tortoise and his Human Pal taking an ocean-front walk along the cliffs of Palos Verdes California. One thing about California, you will usually find something interesting or unusual, even when you're not looking for it : )
The Tortoise:
Tortoises are "cold-blooded," meaning their body temperature varies with the surrounding environment. They are also herbivores, meaning they eat plants. Tortoises are found in a variety of habitats, including deserts, forests, grasslands, and swamps.
There are over 300 species of tortoises, and they come in a wide range of sizes. The smallest tortoise is the speckled padloper tortoise, which is only about 4 inches long. The largest tortoise is the Galapagos tortoise, which can grow to be over 150 pounds.
Tortoises are long-lived animals. Some species can live for over 100 years. The oldest known tortoise is a Galapagos tortoise named Jonathan, who is over 190 years old.
Here are some interesting facts about tortoises:
Tortoises have been around for over 200 million years.
The largest tortoise ever recorded was a Galapagos tortoise named "Johnathan" who weighed over 500 pounds and was over 190 years old.
Tortoises are very good at conserving water. They can go for long periods of time without drinking.
Tortoises are not very good swimmers.
Tortoises are very social animals and enjoy spending time with other tortoises.
Tortoises can be very affectionate and make great pets.

Jellyfish have been possibly around 700 million years or longer, before dinosaurs lived on the Earth.
Jellyfish bodies are actually made up of as much as ~98 % water.
Jellyfish have no heart, bones, brain, ears, noses or even
eyes(some have eyes).
Jellyfish mouth is found in the centre of its body, they use mouth for both eating and pooping.
Some Jellyfish's may never actually die (Theoretically Immortal!).
Some jellyfish are clear, but others are vibrant colours of pink, yellow, blue and purple.
Jellyfish produce their own light!

A juvenile spotted Hyena popping out of its den to check us out ! He was one of three juveniles we saw in Masai Mara that evening.
There is a misconception that hyenas are predominantly scavengers. In fact they are one of Africa's top carnivore predators and 70% of their diet are from direct kills.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.
Happy Safari Saturday

White-Winged Crossbill cool fact: individual White-Winged Crossbills can eat up to 3,000 conifer seeds each day!
Though this episode begins in a more traditional non fiction way, with many facts about how many mushrooms perish when the snow falls and temperatures plummet, the episode evolves further with a more empathetic feel. Even a mushroom documentary film maker must show the human side to the mushrooms and how they can suffer. Thus, there is a definite arc to the episode with a thrilling culmination of the collective voices of the mushroom community as they proclaim the following poem:
For days, we witnessed the ominous
“Winter is Coming!"
Well, winter is here, with it’s equal
wonder and terror
We cling to each other
like words in a sentence
without as many spaces.
We are withered, weathered,
and struggling to survive.
Lost souls shivering below flying doves
Past selves and Future selves
Culminating in a grim present moment
How much longer must we suffer and
Yearn for each sliver of daylight?
Oh, won’t some sweet soul
Come gallantly along
Crunching on the oppressive white
Pick us up out of our misery
Tear us from the dark tree bark
With all the dirt that hides under fingernails
And eat us alive?

An interesting fact of Babimost is location the market sguare with town hall outside the current residential zone.
Originally, the wooden buildings of Babimost did not survive due to the fires several times consuming the city. It was not until the 1830s that masonry buildings were built, some of which have survived to this day.
-
Ciekawostką Babimostu jest położenie rynku z ratuszem poza obecną strefą mieszkalną.
Pierwotnie drewniana zabudowa Babimostu nie przetrwała ze względu na pożary kilkukrotnie trawiące miasto. Dopiero w latach trzydziestych XIX wieku powstały budynki murowane, spośród których część przetrwała do dziś.

الحقيقة الخامسة :
لما اروح مطعم احاول اني اطلب شي ما اكلته
خصوصا في العصاير
كل مرة اطلب نوع بدون ما اتردد واقول اوه اخاف يطلع مب حلو
احب اجرب واذوق كل الانواع
واحب اغير لون شعري وااايد
بس للاسف اخاف انه يتعب وجي فاضطر اني انتظر فترة وجي
احب التغيير بشكل موطبيعي .. لاني اتملل بسرعة
واحس لابد اني اغير شكلي
مع اني سابقا اخاف اني اخطي اي خطوة في تغيير شكلي
او اي شي في حياتي
بس من فترة صبغت شعري وعقبها بديت اغير كل شي
واجازف بكل شي ..
( من ناحية التغيير فقط - يعني المجازفة بس للتغير مو طيش )
احس بمتعة فيها شجاعة
والتغيير يساعدني ع تقبل المشاكل والواقع بطريقة غريبة

Cool facts from "all about birds":
Arctic Terns migrate from pole to pole; birds in North America travel around 25,000 miles each year.
Downy Arctic Tern hatchlings come in two colors: gray or brown. And chicks from the same nest aren't always the same color.
Arctic Terns can live for decades, but they usually do not start breeding until they are 3 or 4 years old.
The oldest recorded Arctic Tern was at least 34 years old, when it was recaptured and rereleased during a banding operation in Maine. This bird flew at least 850,000 miles, or 3 and a half times to the moon and back!!!
When molting its wing feathers during the winter, the Arctic Tern rarely flies; instead it spends much of its time resting on small blocks of ice at the edge of the pack ice.

El castell de Fenís, a la Vall d'Aosta, és impressionant, amb les seves multiples torres i muralles. El fet de estar situat al mig de la plana, i no dalt un cim com altres castell de la zona, fa pensar que el seu paper principal fou administratiu i de prestigi.

=============================
Fenís Castle, in the Aosta Valley, is impressive, with its multiple towers and walls. The fact that it is located in the middle of the plain, and not on top of a peak like other castles in the area, suggests that its main role was administrative and prestigious.

Trump doesn't like the fact that some provisions of the Iran nuclear treaty expire in seven years, so he backs out of it, which means those provisions expire immediately. What a mental dwarf! It's really only because the treaty was negotiated under the Obama administration, sorta like the ACA.
Let's be very clear: It's one thing to say a peace treaty is bad. It's very much another to rip it apart with no better idea, no plan, no negotiation, no expertise, no allies and no ultimate goal except perhaps starting another serious conflict -- and that's already happening. The guy is an idiot, that thinks he's a genius.

Rosslyn Chapel is a 15th-century chapel located in the village of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland. The chapel was founded by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness.
This shot is a view of the restorations in 2008.
Since the late 1980s, the chapel has been the subject of speculative theories concerning a connection with the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail, and Freemasonry.
It was prominently featured in this role in Dan Brown's bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code (2003) and its 2006 film adaptation. Medieval historians say these accounts have no basis in fact.
Saheliyon-ki-Bari (Courtyard of the Maidens) is a major garden and a popular tourist space in Udaipur in Indian state of Rajasthan. It lies in northern part of the city and has fountains and kiosks, a lotus pool and marble elephants. It was built by Maharana Bhopal Singh. Saheliyon ki Bari means Garden of the Maidens. There is also a small museum here.
Sahelion Ki Bari' was laid for a group of forty-eight young women attendants who accompanied a princess to Udaipur as part of her dowry. The gardens set below the embankment of the Fateh Sagar Lake have beautiful lotus pools, marble pavilions and elephant- shaped fountains. These fountains are fed by the water of the lake gushing through ducts made for the purpose. Each water channel has its distinct sound and the mingling of these sounds complement the ambience of the place Near to saheliyon-ki-bari is burhani nagar and burhani masjid,vidhiya bhawan school and seva mandir marg.
Saheliyon Ki Bari is one the most beautiful gardens and a major tourist destination in Udaipur. The garden is famous for its lush green lawns, marble art and fountains. English translation of Saheliyon Ki Bari means "Garden of maids". This renowned garden is located on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, presenting a green retreat in the dry lands of Rajasthan. Garden of maids was built in the 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh for the royal ladies.
As per the legends, the garden was designed by the king himself and he presented this garden to his queen. Actually, the Queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her marriage. To offer all of them, pleasurable moments away from the political intrigues of the court, this garden was made. This patterned garden used to be the popular relaxing spot of the royal ladies. The queen with her maids and female companions used to come here for a stroll and spend their time in leisure.
Due to this fact, the garden got its name. The superb architecture of the garden provides a breath-taking view to any observer. The garden is embellished with numerous fountains in its four water pools, chiseled kiosks and marble elephants. It is also celebrated for its lotus pool and bird-fountains. The lush green lawns, flowerbeds, and marble pavilions further enhance the romantic ambience of this magnificent garden.
In the later years, Maharana Bhopal Singh really liked this place and built a pavilion of rain fountains. The thought was to form an illusion of rain dancing in cadence with dancing maids. The Kings used to enjoy around the pools and fountains of this garden. These fountains were imported from England and you can trace them along with the main reservoir of the garden. The main reservoir has four black marbled kiosks in its corners and one white marbled kiosk in its center. On the top of kiosks, these fountains are in the form of sculpted birds that spurts water from their beaks producing the rain effect.
The museum exhibiting the huge collection of royal households is another attraction of this garden. It has many ancient pictures and things of the bygone period. Sight of stuffed cobras and other animals will definitely add a tint of adventure to your trip. Above all, you can stroll through the shady lawns, where the bunch of bougainvillea will bend down to greet you. Today, Saheliyon ki Bari has become the pleasure park for the recreation of Udaipur dwellers.
Garden of Maids is actually a place to visit by any visitor to this city. The crystalloid fountains, lotus pool, marbled elephants sprinkling water and many more attractions provide truly a picturesque sight to behold.

This is the Maison du Roi, located in Brussels' Grand Place. Interestingly, despite its name, no king ever lived there; it served as an administrative office. The current building is a 19th-century reconstruction with neo-Gothic details, housing the Museum of the City of Brussels, where you’ll find the Manneken Pis costume collection. Fun fact: during the Middle Ages, the site was actually a bread market before becoming an administrative center. While its ornate façade amazes visitors today, its simple origins don’t take away from its beauty—they just make it even more intriguing.

After more than half an hour of trying to take a picture of my granddaughter with a flower in her hand, I had to give up and take at least one photo that matches the theme. In the next photo or in my first comment, you can see what my granddaughter looked like with the flowers, there were flowers everywhere except in her outstretched hand, and the ring she found today in the Kinder-surprise egg was always highlighted, ignore the fact that she is a dirty because she played with the earth and with flowers all day, and of course she didn't want to wash herself until she finished playing.
HSoS!
A dusting of fresh snow looked like powdered sugar on the frozen icefalls along the lower Coquihalla Highway where the temperature had warmed up to +1 C. In fact, by the time we arrived back at our Vancouver home it was +8C

A cool fact from Cornell "The Latin genus name for grebe, "podylimbus," means “feet at the buttocks”—an apt descriptor for these birds, whose feet are indeed located near their rear ends. This body plan, a common feature of many diving birds, helps grebes propel themselves through water. Lobed (not webbed) toes further assist with swimming. Pied-billed Grebes pay for their aquatic prowess on land, where they walk awkwardly."
In fact the whole village is named after the Saviour. Sotira in Greek means Saviour. Sotira is a well-known village in the Ammochostos (Famagusta) area of Cyprus and plenty of old churches have survived in the village centre. The "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Christ" is currently closed. There is archaeological work going on, but the building was too small anyway and, in the 20th century, had been replaced by the "Church of the Metamorphosis/Transfiguration of Jesus". I'll come back to this interesting change of title. This old church here goes back to the 13th century, back to the time of the crusades and the French occupation of Cyprus. The building began as a simple barrel roof construction. In Venetian times, the dome was added, and the spire, also in Venetian style, is a 19th century product (still built during the Ottoman occupation). The archaeological dig showed that this church is resting on foundations of a fifth century Christian basilica. So, the question of who the Saviour is, has always been central to this village. Metamorphosis or Transfiguration denotes the visible appearance of Jesus, not as man, but as God. But "Christ"? Christ is already a title presupposing divinity, no need to transfigure here. That is why, I would guess, that in the 20th century the title was changed to transfiguration of Jesus. It makes more sense. Sense is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. If, as Christian doctrine has it, Jesus Christ was one person, but had two natures (God and Man), and if the Trinity consist of three persons, but having only on nature, there is trouble if you apply Aristotelian logic. Things are made not easier by the gospel of John which stipulates that Christ was always there with God and, therefore, had pre-existence. If you find this difficult, it only means that your mind is working. The question of who the Saviour is is not a puzzle the mind can resolve. But if you sing the question, turn it into sound, or into vision, you may be on a different path. Fuji X-Pro3.
Although June is National Rose Month, Roses actually start blooming in May. In fact, all of my Rose shrubs (except for one shrub) are in bloom right now.
Roses in American History
As the most popular flower in America (and the world, for that matter), it’s no surprise that roses made their way into the most famous house in America — the White House.
On November 20, 1986, President Ronald Reagan declared the rose the national floral emblem of the United States while standing in the White House Rose Garden.
The rose is also the state flower for North Dakota, Georgia, Oklahoma, New York and Iowa.
The White House Rose Garden was started in 1913 by First Lady Ellen Wilson.
Presidents still use the White House Rose Garden as the location for bill signings, press conferences, and diplomatic meetings.
It’s believed that George Washington was one of the first American rose breeders.
W. H. Davies, ‘In May’
Yes, I will spend the livelong day
With Nature in this month of May;
And sit beneath the trees, and share
My bread with birds whose homes are there …
“At last came the golden month of the wild folk—honey-sweet May, when the birds come back, and the flowers come out, and the air is full of the sunrise scents and songs of the dawning year.”
― Samuel Scoville Jr.

There is a second railroad in the Pittston area that interchanges with the RBMN. In business since 1994 the Luzerne and Susquehanna operates 60 miles of assorted bits of cast of scraps of once important class 1 routes that once served the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area. The valley was placed with a nearly incomprehensible web of rails at one time that generated carloads and revenue to boggle the mind. But now so little remains and what does is but a shadow of itself. In fact the trackage beneath this unit that sits stationary, blue flagged, and tied down was once the LV's mainline into Wilkes-Barre.
LS 1751 itself is an EMD GP9 blt. Oct. 1959 ad Pennsylvania Railroad 7242. The venerable geep is now the property of RJ Corman Railroad group which bought the L&S in August 2020. One wonders if 1751 will survive and trade her somber LS black for brilliant Corman crimson. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Some interesting facts about probably the cutest world's rodents (Sciurus vulgaris):
- They do not hibernate;
- They hide nuts and seeds in the ground, which contributes to the growth of the tree population;
- Front teeth grow throughout life;
- They have a multifunctional tail - it helps to keep balance, brake, and even serves as an umbrella;
- If they look anxious, nervously jumping on the branches making high-pitched whistles (and there is no particular threat), it means that in 6-10 hours it will probably rain;
- If they hide in a hollow and their activity decreases, it means that a storm is coming.
Kilka interesujących faktów o tych jakże pociesznych gryzoniach (Sciurus vulgaris):
- Nie zapadają w sen zimowy;
- Ukrywają w ziemi orzechy i nasiona, co przyczynia się do wzrostu populacji drzew;
- Przednie zęby rosną przez całe życie;
- Mają wielofunkcyjny ogon - pomaga utrzymać równowagę, hamować, a nawet bywa parasolem;
- Jeśli wyglądają na zaniepokojone, nerwowo skaczą po gałęziach wydając wysokie gwizdy (a nie widać szczególnego zagrożenia), to znaczy, że prawdopodobnie za 6-10 godzin wystąpią opady;
- Jeśli chowają się w dziupli, a ich aktywność się obniża, to znaczy, że nadejdzie burza.
Vyšehrad is the oldest seat of Czech princes; in fact, the local settlement was established in the mid-10 th century. Situated on a rocky promontory above the Vltava River, it offers stunning views of the city, and the park area holds hidden architectural treasures including the rare Romanesque Rotunda of St Martin, the neo-Gothic Church of Sts Peter and Paul, the national cemetery Slavín, and the underground casements housing the some of the original Baroque statues from the Charles Bridge.

Nature's gymnast. Interesting facts: stores food for the winter and is able to lower its body temperature during cold winter nights. This chickadee was photographed in Connected Lakes SP near Grand Junction, Colorado.
Parsonsfield, Maine.
Sunday and Monday we had a wind / heavy rain storm that took our power, cable and landline phone service out.
We lost power at around 9:40 A.M. Sunday and only had it restored this Wednesday evening at 6;40 P. M..
Many trees came down blocking roads and tearing down lines, snapping utility poles creating havoc for over 200.00 Maine residents.
As of this posting there are still 6700 + people without power over rural areas of Maine and crews are trying their best to get power restored.
At least it wasn't an ice storm or blizzard, in fact the day time temperature Sunday and Monday hit nearly 60 degrees here.

Summer is fog season here in the San Francisco area. Odd as it seems, it's colder, damper and more overcast during the summer months than it is the rest of the year. But there are a few spots that are elevated enough to get you above the fog, where it's sunnier, warmer and not-overcast. My favorite place to get above the fog these past few years has been Mount Tamalpais (a.k.a. Mt Tam), in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. In fact, my friend and fellow fogaholic Larry Nienkark and I have been up on Mt Tam more often than we care to admit. But let's just say that in August we've only missed going up the mountain 1 or 2 days each. Yes, it's an obsession, but a healthy one, I think. The trips have been very rewarding socially (I've met many other fog addicts), physically (lots of hiking) and photographically (I now have an even more enormous catalog of fog photos). All in all it's been a most excellent and productive season.
I'm a very slow publisher, so you'll be seeing my fog photos for several months...well beyond the end of fog season. I hope you enjoy them. In the meantime, if you want to follow along on my foggy adventures, feel free to find me on Instagram, where I've been using the "Stories" feature to post live photos and video from the locations where I've been shooting. The photos and videos in the Stories section only last 24 hours (like Snapchat, if you're familiar with that), but it's a fun way to see the more "real life" side of the folks you follow. If you're on Instagram, you can find me here.
Happy Sunday/Monday, friends! I'm off to shoot more fog tonight....

This image is inspired by the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens. My favourite scenes in this film were those filmed on the the desert planet Jakku where Rey grew up. In fact, I took this shot just few miles away from the filming location of the Star Wars in the Abu Dhabi's Empty Quarter desert. It's one of my preferred locations for landscape photography and it's easy to see why.
