Fotografías tomadas a las 12 de la noche, bajo una ténue luz solar reflejada. Llegar a la explanada de Namaskard en plena noche, sin nadie alrededor, sobrepone, se oye respirar la Tierra. Ritmicamente los diversos pozuelos humeantes lanzan ruidos gorgogeantes, como de respiración pesada y lenta mientras se forman bulbos de agua que se hinchan y explotan para soltar los gases que salen de las entrañas. Cada expiración fotografiada ofrece formas distintas como en una danza ininterrumpida. Es la respiración de la tierra.

In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls is important because running water erodes the mortar between the stone blocks.[1] Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastic animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.
The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet";[2] cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, gargula ("gullet" or "throat") and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, "throat"; Spanish gárgola, "gargoyle"). It is also connected to the French verb gargariser, which means "to gargle."[3] The Italian word for gargoyle is doccione o gronda sporgente, an architecturally precise phrase which means "protruding gutter." The German word for gargoyle is Wasserspeier, which means "water spitter." The Dutch word for gargoyle is waterspuwer, which means "water spitter" or "water vomiter." A building that has gargoyles on it is "gargoyled."
A grotesque figure is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. These are also usually called gargoyles in layman's terminology,[2] although the field of architecture usually preserves the distinction between gargoyles (functional waterspouts) and non-waterspout grotesques.
Gargoyles are said to scare off and protect from any evil or harmful spirits.

Grootwaterhoender
(Gallinula angulata)
The common moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) (also known as the waterhen and as the swamp chicken) is a bird species in the family Rallidae. It is distributed across many parts of the Old World.
The common moorhen lives around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. The species is not found in the polar regions or many tropical rainforests. Elsewhere it is likely the most common rail species, except for the Eurasian coot in some regions.
The closely related common gallinule of the New World has been recognized as a separate species by most authorities, starting with the American Ornithologists' Union and the International Ornithological Committee in 2011.
The name mor-hen has been recorded in English since the 13th century.[5] The word moor here is an old sense meaning marsh;[5] the species is not usually found in moorland. An older name, common waterhen, is more descriptive of the bird's habitat.
A "watercock" is not a male "waterhen" but the rail species Gallicrex cinerea, not closely related to the common moorhen. "Water rail" usually refers to Rallus aquaticus, again not closely related.
The scientific name Gallinula chloropus comes from the Latin Gallinula (a small hen or chicken) and the Greek chloropus (khloros χλωρός green or yellow, pous πούς foot).
The moorhen is a distinctive species, with dark plumage apart from the white undertail, yellow legs and a red frontal shield. The young are browner and lack the red shield. The frontal shield of the adult has a rounded top and fairly parallel sides; the tailward margin of the red unfeathered area is a smooth waving line. In the related common gallinule of the Americas, the frontal shield has a fairly straight top and is less wide towards the bill, giving a marked indentation to the back margin of the red area.
The common moorhen gives a wide range of gargling calls and will emit loud hisses when threatened. A midsized to large rail, it can range from 30 to 38 cm (12 to 15 in) in length and span 50 to 62 cm (20 to 24 in) across the wings. The body mass of this species can range from 192 to 500 g (6.8 to 17.6 oz).

Dulce et Decorum Est
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!–An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Antirrhinum majus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Snapdragon (disambiguation).
Antirrhinum majus, the common snapdragon (often - especially in horticulture - simply "snapdragon"), is a species of flowering plant belonging to the genus Antirrhinum. The plant was placed in the family Plantaginaceae following a revision of its prior classical family, Scrophulariaceae.[1][2][3]
The common name "snapdragon", originates from the flowers' reaction to having their throats squeezed, which causes the "mouth" of the flower to snap open like a dragon's mouth. It is widely used as an ornamental plant in borders and as a cut flower. It is perennial but usually cultivated as an annual plant. The species has been in culture since the 15th century.[4]
Description
It is an herbaceous perennial plant, growing to 0.5–1 m tall, rarely up to 2 m. The leaves are spirally arranged, broadly lanceolate, 1–7 cm long and 2-2.5 cm broad. The upper glandular stalk is stalk-round, sometimes woody to the middle. The opposite leaves are simple, elliptic or ovate to broad-lanceolate, sometimes linear and usually bleak. Leaflets are missing.[6]
The flowers are produced on a tall spike, each flower is 3.5-4.5 cm long, zygomorphic, with two 'lips' closing the corolla tube lobed divided into three parts and is purple red, almost 5 cm long. Wild plants have pink to purple flowers, often with yellow lips. Most 8 to 30 short stalked flowers are in an inflorescence together; the inflorescence axis is glandular hairy. The crown is 25 to 45 (rarely to 70) millimeters long and in different colors (red, pink, orange, yellow, white). The "maw" of the crown is closed by protuberance of the lower lip, one speaks here of "masked", and everted baggy at the bottom. There is a circle with four stamens. The plants are pollinated by bumblebees, who are strong enough to gently and briefly open male flowers to enter and exit them without difficulty, collecting pollen in the process. A snapdragon's calyx is up to 8 mm long, with sepals of equal length, oblong to broad.
The ovary is supreme. The fruit is an ovoid capsule 10–14 mm diameter shaped like a skull,[7] containing numerous small seeds. [8]
Taxonomy
Four former subspecies are now considered as separate species:[9]
Antirrhinum majus subsp. cirrhigerum (Ficalho) Franco: now classified as Antirrhinum cirrhigerum (Welw. ex Ficalho)
Antirrhinum majus subsp. linkianum (Boiss. & Reut.) Rothm: now classified as Antirrhinum linkianum Boiss. & Reut.
Antirrhinum majus subsp. litigiosum (Pau) Rothm.: now synonymised with Antirrhinum barrelieri Boreau
Antirrhinum majus subsp. tortuosum (Bosc) Rouy: now classified as Antirrhinum tortuosum Bosc ex Lam.
Range
It is native to from southern-central France, and the eastern Pyrenees to north-eastern Spain and the Balearic Islands. They often grow in crevices and walls.[10]
Cultivation
Antirrhinum majus can survive a certain amount of frost, as well as higher temperatures, but does best at 17–25 °C (63–77 °F). Nighttime temperatures around 15–17 °C (59–63 °F) encourage growth in both the apical meristem and stem.[1] The species is able to grow well from seeds, flowering quickly in 3 to 4 months. It can also be grown from cuttings.[11]
Though perennial, the species is often cultivated as a biennial or annual plant, particularly in colder areas where it may not survive the winter. Numerous cultivars are available, including plants with lavender, orange, pink, yellow, or white flowers, and also plants with peloric flowers, where the normal flowering spike is topped with a single large, symmetrical flower.[8][12] The cultivars ’Floral Showers Deep Bronze’[13] and ‘Montego Pink’[14] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
The trailing (creeping) variety is often referred to as A. majus pendula (syn. A. pendula, A. repens).
It often escapes from cultivation, and naturalised populations occur widely in Europe north of the native range,[8] and elsewhere in temperate regions of the world.[2]
Past common names for Antirrhinum majus include: great snapdragon, lion's-mouth, rabbit's mouth, bonny rabbits, calf-snout, toad's mouth, bulldogs, and lion's-snap.[15]
Model research organism
In the laboratory it is a model organism,[16] for example containing the gene DEFICIENS which provides the letter "D" in the acronym MADS-box for a family of genes which are important in plant development. Antirrhinum majus has been used as a model organism in biochemical and developmental genetics for nearly a century. Many of the characteristics of A. majus made it desirable as a model organism; these include its diploid inheritance, ease of cultivation (having a relatively short generation time of around 4 months), its ease of both self-pollination and cross-pollination, and A. majus's variation in morphology and flowering color. It also benefits from its divergence from Arabidopsis thaliana, with A. thaliana's use as a common eudicot model, it has been used to compare against A. majus in developmental studies.[1]
Studies in A. majus have also been used to suggest that, at high temperatures, DNA methylation is not vital in suppressing the Tam3 transposon. Previously, it was suggested that DNA methylation was important in this process, this theory coming from comparisons of the degrees of methylation when transposition is active and inactive. However, A. majus's Tam3 transposon process did not completely support this. Its permission of transposition at 15 °C and strong suppression of transposition at temperatures around 25 °C showed that suppression of the transposition state was unlikely to be caused by the methylation state.[17] It was shown that low temperature-dependent transposition was the cause of the methylation/demethylation of Tam3, not the other way around as previously believed. It was shown in a study that decreases in the methylation of Tam3 were found in tissue that was still developing at cooler temperatures, but not in tissue that was developed or grown in hotter temperatures.[18]
Antirrhinum majus has also been used to examine the relationship between pollinators and plants. With debate as to the evolutionary advantages the conical-papillate shape of flower petals, with arguments suggesting the shape either enhanced and intensified the color of the flower or aided in orienting pollinators through sight or touch. The benefit that A. majus brought was through an identification of a mutation at the MIXTA locus that prevented this conical petal shape from forming. This allowed testing of the pollination plants with and without conical petals as well as comparisons of the absorption of light between these two groups. With the MIXTA gene being necessary in the formation of conical cells, the use of the gene in breeding of Antirrhinum was crucial, and allowed for the tests which showed why many plants produced conical-papillate epidermal cells.[19]
Another role A. majus played in examining the relationship between pollinator and plant were in the studies of floral scents. Two of A. majus's enzymes, phenylpropanoids and isoprenoids, were used in the study of its floral scent production and the scent's effect on attracting pollinators.[1]
Chemistry
Antirrhinin is an anthocyanin found in A. majus.[20] It is the 3-rutinoside of cyanidin. Its active ingredients include mucilages, gallic acid, resins, pectin and bitters. It is a topical emollient, antiphlogistic, astringent, antiscorbutic, hepatic and diuretic. It is effective against inflammations, it is used for haemorrhoids. It has been used in gargles against ulcerations of the oral cavity. Internally, it can be used for colitis and heartburn. Externally, as poultices, on erythemas.
Pests and diseases
Antirrhinum majus may suffer from some pests and diseases.
Pests
Insects are the primary pests that affect A. majus.
Aphids: They target and consume the terminal growth and underside of leaves. Aphids consume the liquids in the plant and may cause a darkened or spotted appearance on the leaves.[21]
Frankliniella occidentalis: These insects affect even strong growing and healthy Antirrhinum; they are commonly seen in newly opened flowers. They will cause small lesions in the shoots and flower buds of A. majus as well as remove pollen from the anther. This case is difficult to treat, but may be kept manageable with the predatory mite Neoseiulus.[1]
Diseases
Antirrhinum majus suffers mostly from fungal infections.
Anthracnose: A disease caused by fungi of the genus Colletotrichum. This disease targets the leaves and stem causing them a yellow with a brownish border to the infected spot. It is recommended to destroy infected plants and space existing ones farther apart.[21]
Botrytis: Also known as Grey Mould, this infection occurs under the flower of A. majus. Botrytis causes wilting of the flower's spikes and causes a light browning of the stem below the cluster of flowers.[21] Botrytis causes quick and localized drying and browning in the flower, leaves, and shoots of A. majus. In warmer weather, Botrytis becomes more severe. Treatment of Botrytis involves cutting off the infected stock and clearing the surrounding area of A. majus from any of this debris.
Pythium: Wilting in the plant may be caused by a Pythium species fungal infection if the plant is receiving adequate water.[1]
Rust: Another fungal disease that A. majus is susceptible to is rust. It can first be seen on the plant as light-green circles, on the stem or underside of its leaves, that eventually turn brown and form pustules.[1] Rust may cause A. majus to bloom prematurely, sprout smaller flowers, and begin decomposition earlier.[21]
Stem rot: A fungal infection, it can be seen as a cottony growth on the stem, low, near the soil. If infected, it is suggested the plant be destroyed.[21]

Nurburgring - Nordschleife. The flames due to excess fuel being burned under braking, accompanied by a nice gargly popping noise. The writing on the track - which litters most of the entire 13 or so miles of its route - I think must be a pretty faithful representation of each actual item of graffiti.
So, it would be no doubt strange for Mr Takashi - whoever he is - to see his handy-work rendered back to him through a web browser, via a USB key, PS2, various 3d modelling stages and some chap having taken a photo of the original.
I love the way changing focal length, aperture and shutter speed completely changes the look of each set-up. The kerbing in the foreground rocks.

The De Chambeau Ranch was one of the largest ranches in the Mono Basin. It raised cattle, sheep, chickens, alfalfa, and vegetables to be sold in Bodie, Aurora, Lundy, and Lee Vining.
The 320-acre ranch contains the original buildings, some of the original barbed wire, ditches, roadways, fence lines, and wells.
Drawn to California by gold, Louis W. De Chambeau's father moved to Bodie from Ontario, Canada in 1878. Louis W. followed two years later when he was 18. In 1906 he purchased the ranch from Italian immigrant Nicholas Dondero, who sold it to fund exploration in Alaska.
The De Chambeau family was self-sufficient except for a few staples, such as sugar and salt. Their beds were stuffed with feathers frm Mono Lake ducks and if they had sore throats, they gargled with Mono Lake water.
Ranchers could handle many tasks: stack hay, shape horseshoes and nails from iron, grow vegetables in the sandy soil, butcher hogs and sheep. They also traded skills for goods. Louis W. De Chambeau crafted skis, for example, which he sold in Body, Lundy, and throughout the Mono Basin.
Norm De Chambeau:
“So my grandfather decided that when he moved here to the ranch that he would, uh, make skis from then on, (And, uh, he sold them, the men’s skis for $8 a pair plus 50 cents or a dollar for the pole. And that was huge money in them days. And he ended up estimating between 500 to 1000 skis that he’d built in Mono Basin, (and) sold to the different people in here.”
A pair of De Chambeau’s hand-carved skis is on display at the Mammoth Ski Museum and at Bodie State Historic Park.
This photo is taken at Finnart on the south side of the Loch, which was leased from Col Wentworth's Dall estate as a junior school and shows the staff who looked after the 11 junior boys at Finnart Lodge.
Selby Martin (a pupil during the Rannoch Years) has written a memoir of these days.
He recalls that "General welfare was monitored with equal care and concern. We were, on the whole, a healthy lot. At Rannoch the severe Miss Vickers, who always wore her blue nurse's overall with starched cuffs which rattled frighteningly when she shook down the thermometer, kept a close check on us." Miss Vickers was a sister of Matron.
Coughs and colds were dealt with efficiently with Dettol gargling, throat swabs and doses of malt extract. More serious complaints and infections might lead to prolonged stays in the sickroom. There were no antibiotics and poultices would be applied under the supervision of Dr McLean who lived at the other end of the Loch, in the first house on the right just before the blacksmith's house where Donald kept the school bus.
Elizabeth Dunkley travelled to Loch Rannoch during the war with the school and afterwards became a junior mistress at North Foreland until it merged with Wellesley House in 1969. Thereafter she worked at Selywn House School until it closed in 1976.
Miss Ewen (who had joined in 1940) also gave drawing and painting lessons at Rannoch as well as being the school's secretary. There was no school magazine - paper was in short supply and the facilities for reproduction were confined to a laborious process operated by Miss Ewen involving purple ink on a tray of jelly over which each sheet had to be individually rolled.
Mr Lampen managed Finnart assisted by Miss Henderson and Miss Lyle (both of whom joined in 1940).
There was little music apart from piano lessons given to a few boys by Mr Escombe, the end of term concert and the singing at school assembly. The choir practised regularly and provided the soloists for concerts and Sunday services alike.

Okay, now that fisheyed gargler Tor decided to make me take minimalistic photos with a bloody fisheye lens! Heck, I thought, now i have to remove Taj Mahal from my shots in post-processing again (the fisheye being so wide, it always captures Taj Mahal, regardless of your position on the globe). I tried to shoot some gateways and white walls, but it was impossible to not get some extremely irritating edges on the shots. I ended up with 2 photos which turned out very well, in fact. They are of the insides of some hugargantic cable reels (behind which i later peed). The first one actually had some details in the white spaces, but I decided to photoshop that away, as I'm sure you can see on the final result if you look closely on the edges. Not sure if the last photo really can pompously call itself minimalistic, but considering it's taken with a fisheye lens it can at least call itself fisheye-minimalistic. On both shots i put my lens inside the hole directly opposite on the reel from the small center-holes in the shots. The walls inside those holes is what's creating that nice vignetting effect.

I love my gargling catbirds. They typically eat bugs, berries and cherries. This menu has apparently expanded to include citrus. She and I exchanged glances long enough for her true attitude to come through.
Dulce Et Decorum Est
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.
GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Bored on Sunday 6th November I dragged Chris out on a Gargoyle photo safari around Jersey....
In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls is important because running water erodes the mortar between the stone blocks.[1] Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastic animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.
The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet";[2] cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, gargula ("gullet" or "throat") and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, "throat"; Spanish gárgola, "gargoyle"). It is also connected to the French verb gargariser, which means "to gargle."[3] The Italian word for gargoyle is doccione o gronda sporgente, an architecturally precise phrase which means "protruding gutter." The German word for gargoyle is Wasserspeier, which means "water spitter." The Dutch word for gargoyle is waterspuwer, which means "water spitter" or "water vomiter." A building that has gargoyles on it is "gargoyled."
A grotesque figure is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. These are also usually called gargoyles in layman's terminology,[2] although the field of architecture usually preserves the distinction between gargoyles (functional waterspouts) and non-waterspout grotesques.
Gargoyles are said to scare off and protect from any evil or harmful spirits.

My new favourite plant name: Squinancywort.
Seen high up on the downs above Dover.
--------------------------------------------
Part of the Bedstraw family, this delicate plant gained its unusual name as a medieval cure for quinsy
This low-growing, mat-forming perennial herb has a pleasant vanilla scent and rises from a woody rootstock.
Squinancywort grows to about 20-30cm high with clusters of tiny pale pink flowers. The flowers are funnel shaped and have four petals which curl outwards. The leaves are lance-shaped, whorled in fours, with hairless stems.
Predominantly found in the chalky grasslands of Southern England, but also dotted around parts of the north, the south coast of Wales and Western Ireland. It is not found in Scotland.
Its also known by the similar sounding names of Quinsywort or Squincywort
Squinancy is the old, obsolete name for quinsy or also simply sore throat, with wort meaning flower. A concoction was made from the plant to be used as a gargle.
A red dye can be obtained from the roots.

A Blackthorn shrub in the Hill Barton business park of Exeter, UK. There is also Common hawthorn, Holly, Spindle and Guelder-rose planted within these hedgerows. === Blackthorn, also known as 'sloe', is a small deciduous tree native to the UK and most of Europe. It is spiny and densely branched, mature trees can grow to a height of around 6-7m, and live for up to 100 years. The dark brown bark is smooth, and twigs form straight side shoots, which develop into thorns. The twigs are black and spiny with leaf buds along the spines. The leaves are slightly wrinkled, oval, toothed, pointed at the tip and tapered at the base. Blackthorn is a hermaphrodite, meaning both male and female reproductive parts are found in one flower. White flowers appear on short stalks before the leaves in March and April, either singularly or in pairs. Once pollinated by insects, the flowers develop into blue-black fruits measuring 1cm across. Blackthorn is native to Europe and western Asia. It can also be found in New Zealand and eastern North America. It grows best in moist, well drained soil and thrives in full sunlight. It grows naturally in scrub, copses and woodlands, but is commonly used as a hedging plant. Early flowering, blackthorn provides a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees in spring. Its foliage is a food plant for the caterpillars of many moths, including the lackey, magpie, common emerald, small eggar, swallow-tailed and yellow-tailed. It is also used by the black and brown hairstreak butterflies. Birds nest among the dense, thorny thickets, eat caterpillars and other insects from the leaves, and feast on the berries in autumn. === The expression "sloe-eyed" for a person with dark eyes comes from the fruit, and is first attested in A. J. Wilson's 1867 novel Vashti. Blackthorn was long associated with witchcraft, and it is said that witches' wands and staffs were made using blackthorn wood. The shrub, with its savage thorns, is traditionally used in Britain and other parts of Northern Europe to make a cattle-proof hedge. The timber is hardwearing and tough, light yellow with a brown heartwood. It was traditionally used for making walking sticks and tool parts. It burns well, and is often used as firewood. Blackthorn is used as a hedging shrub, particularly in wildlife gardens. The sloes are used for wine making and preserves, and, most commonly, flavouring gin. In the British Army, blackthorn sticks are carried by commissioned officers of the Royal Irish Regiment; the tradition also occurs in Irish regiments in some Commonwealth countries. Some people apply blackthorn flower directly to the skin for rashes, “skin impurities,” and “blood purification.” In foods, blackthorn flower is used in herbal teas as a colouring agent. A marmalade made from the berry is used for upset stomach. Blackthorn berry is used as a mouth rinse (gargle) for mild sore throat and mouth Wine made from fermented sloes is made in Britain, and in Germany and other central European countries. Sloes can also be made into jam and, used in fruit pies, and if preserved in vinegar are similar in taste to Japanese umeboshi. The juice of the fruits dyes linen a reddish colour that washes out to a durable pale blue. === Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Rosids Order: Rosales Family: Rosaceae Genus: Prunus Subgenus: Prunus Section: Prunus Species: P. spinosa Binomial name Prunus spinosa

This is how he usually sounds. I wonder if chickens can get laryngitis? How to teach him to gargle with salt water ...
