(The Conclusion of the Experiment 4 CHATGPT)
hybrid creature.
This is the finale of my experiment.
Just a silly joke - please excuse me Martin. I hope you have more humor than my full grown potatoes.
Greetings Rolf
The "Mercat de la Boqueria" (Barcelona), has its origins in the 13th century and has grown into one of the largest covered markets in Spain.
Barn owl profile.
This is one of the two barn owls that were hand raised last summer of the falconers of the wildlife park Eekholt.

This photo is part of a series of four photos. I photographed these mushrooms in a few days. They grow very quickly and 'live' very short. The other photos can be found in the comments with an addition when they were taken in relation to this photo.
Thanks for your visit and comments! Would you like to use my photo on the web or print? Just ask :-)

This was near the end of the clouds cycle, as it grew a little more then died, as quickly as it began. Amazing to see, was a matter of minutes. The moon brought out some cool colors and allowed me too watch the process!
It’s a town I’ve grown to love – Te Anau.
Over time, and through previous visits, this little “stopping point” has quickly become a “must-see” place for me, along with those I bring along – for its amazing character, warmth and (of course) fantastic food.
Situated within the Fiordland scenic area of New Zealand’s South Island, many stop here simply for a rest – few manage to stay long enough to appreciate the beauty of this natural glacier-formed lake and stunning cloud formations over the mountain ranges to the west.
It seemed for about a week, that I couldn't spot a mantis, and I was confused as to whether they relocated, died...or possibly ate each other ;-) The past couple of days, I've realized why they were hard to spot...and I'm sure you can guess from the image. After their last...and possibly final molt, most have changed color. Out of the 4 I found in one area, 2 were all pale brown, one was a combination of brown/green...like this male here...and one was all green, but with brown accents. When I looked around, and noticed how much of the brush is already changing, I could see how a more brown appearance helps them blend. Whereas in spring and early summer, when everything was lush and green, their bright green color was better camouflage.
The next difference....wings! Yes...we now have flying stick figures floating around our yard lol. But I found the wings covering the abdomen was making it difficult to determine gender. So with research and more watching, I found both genders have wings. But the females, being larger, with the thicker, heavier abdomens, do not fly, and therefore have wings that are just about the length of their body. Whereas the lighter, narrower males sport longer wings that are a little longer then their abdomen, and are the ones that are seen flying, usually to find a mate...of course ;-)
And they've grown much bigger! No more are they the little bitty green aliens I was used to holding. But I've found these larger, more intimidating mantises are just as friendly, and even try and climb on my camera when I get it close lol. So my mantis study continues ;-) Please view large.
The kids are going back to school in a couple of days, so being loaded with back to school arrangements and activities, this will probably be my last post for the week, but I'll be stopping by to check in with everyone. Have a wonderful week, my friends :-)

I got a good look at the family of Egyptian geese today whose photo I posted earlier (see the link in the comments). They were tiny fluff balls one month ago, and now they seem almost grown up :-))
Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
It is official: it is Spring! Yet, the old and the old year are lingering on. Seeds grown last summer are still waiting to be dispersed. The reality is that the old and with it, the past, will be around in the present and, in some ways, in the future too. The truth is that in the depth of every cell, mine and yours included, the continuous chain of unbroken life is present, from the beginning almost four billion years ago to the date of today. Life's cycle is not simply an annual or an individual one, it is also a planetary wheel that has been turning relentlessly. On this planet, it will stop one day.
Homegrown fenugreek sprouts.HMM!
Actually Silke wanted to use the sprouts for her photo, but instead she chose "Eye of the Cyclon" for today's theme, a very good decision!
HMM Sprossen vom Bockshornklee !!!
Eigentlich wollte Silke die Sprossen für ihr Foto einsetzen, sie hat sich statt dessen zum heutigen Thema für "Eye of the Cyclon" entschieden, eine sehr gute Entscheidung!
En fait, Silke voulait utiliser les germes pour sa photo, mais elle a plutôt choisi "Eye of the Cyclon" pour le thème d'aujourd'hui, une très bonne décision!
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone! Have a great week ahead!
En realidad Silke quería usar los brotes para su foto, pero en vez de eso eligió "Ojo del Ciclón" para el tema de hoy, ¡una muy buena decisión!
Na verdade, Silke queria usar os botões para sua foto, mas, em vez disso, escolheu "Eye of the Cyclone" para o tema de hoje, uma decisão muito boa!

Einen wundervollen Montag und eine gute Woche, liebe Flickr Freunde und Freundinnen!
Danke für Eure Kommentare und Faves über die ich sehr freue!!
This is one of the few that are still actively in explore.
I am surprised it never got to 100 faves.
It is still #5.
A drive up the windy mountain roads west of Brisbane took us to Mount Glorious (619mtr) in the D'Aguilar Range, part of the Great divide. A stop to have our sandwiches before a hike through the rain forest. While it was a humid 34c when we left Brisbane, under the canopy of the forest in the mountains it was a comfortable 22c. Many birds, butterflies and spiders and a little Pademelon were spied along the way. We were even fed on by leeches.
It is certainly a good way to get away from it all and get back to nature. The giant trees were amazing. These are the roots of a giant Small leaved fig tree. (Ficus Obliqua). These trees can grow to over 60mtr tall (200ft). But they can also be grown as Bonzai.

It's Macro Monday, theme is vegetable. Tried some zuccini pictures, they show what I think of Zuccini 😁...and salad, but the cats ate it before I could make a picture...so I ended up with a Litchee. Tried hard to make it a vegetable...no way...
Someone has written that this snowdrop is a bit of a scraggly affair compared to the common, single kind. Nonetheless, I rather like it. Apparently it was already being grown in England in the Duchess of Beaufort's garden around 1700. Whether that was its first bedding I don't know but soon it could be found all over western Europe. And today it's a spring garden's favorite.

That's a shot of one of our four cats named Trixie (since she is tricolored). Apart from the light, the bokeh and the flare, I really like her pose since this turned out to be almost exactly the same pose as in the image I took a year before. She is such a cutie, although she is the most diva-like cat in the bunch and only occasionally wants to be petted :) Hope you like it!
In India chilli is grown in almost all states, in an area of 774.9 thousand hectare with a production of about 1492.10 thousand tonnes .
The origin of chillies is believed to be as old as 7000 B.C. used in Mexico.
Chillies were grown and cultivated from 3500 B.C. Christopher Columbus who discovered America in 1493 brought chilli to the rest of the world.
