Important to know: Iguanas are capable of severely injuring people, other animals and themselves when their body language signals are not recognized. Most iguanas clearly sign that trouble is ahead. They nod their head and wave their dewlap side to side. The dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, such as a cow.

Iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. First, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting, away to say hello to another creature during mating but most generally as a territorial sign. Second, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Third, an extended dewlap may be a sign the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching more sun to warm up or a breeze to cool off. So it's important to see "the big picture" when reading Iguana body language.

Mr. Know It All

Well ya think you know it all

But ya don't know a thing at all

Ain't it, ain't it something y'all

When somebody tells you something 'bout you

Think that they know you more than you do

So you take it down another pill to swallow

Oh you think that you know me, know me

That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely

'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me

You don't know a thing about me

You ain't got the right to tell me

When and where to go, no right to tell me

Acting like you own me lately

Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me

You don't know a thing about me...

Anyone that knows me, knows my huge passion and love for boats, ships and tugs.

The Ku'ulakai is by far my most favorite tug.

This beautiful old girl is being lovingly refit and moored in the historic, fishing village of Steveston.

Located in Richmond, BC

Canada

KU'ULAKAI Tugboat c. 1944

(Ku'ulakai meaning: Hawaiian Fishing God)

Her history: as per online sources: (Unverified)

Gross Tonnage: 301

Used as a Tugboat all along the West Coast of BC

Ku'ulakai is said to be the only intact Mikki tug in Canadian waters.

All my friends are heathens, take it slow (in the city, boy, in the city)

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

All my friends are heathens, take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

Welcome to the room of people

Who have rooms of people that they loved one day

Stocked away

Just because we check the guns at the door

Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades

You're lovin' on the psychopath sitting next to you

You're lovin' on the murderer sitting next to you

You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"

But after all I've said, please don't forget

All my friends are heathens, take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

We don't deal with outsiders very well

They say newcomers have a certain smell

You have trust issues, not to mention

They say they can smell your intentions

You're lovin' on the freakshow sitting next to you

You'll have some weird people sitting next to you

You'll think "How did I get here, sitting next to you?"

But after all I've said, please don't forget

(Watch it, watch it)

All my friends are heathens, take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse

All my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)

Wait for them to ask you who you know (watch it)

Please all my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Why'd you come? You knew you should have stayed (it's blasphemy)

I tried to warn you just to stay away (wouldn't listen to me)

And now they're outside ready to bust (to bust) (and guess what)

It looks like you might be one of us

I know you want me

Every day, not only when you're lonely, yeah

You see, you think you know me

But you don't even know nothing about me, yeah

You see my thick thighs

Lost when you look into my brown eyes

See, my little waist can make you switch sides

You never know the devil in the disguise

So why don't you stand up, baby, and

Tell me, tell me, tell me do you want me on top?

So let me show you, show you, show you, I don't need to back it up

Don't wanna hold ya, mold ya, scold ya

Split you in half with my heart

I just wanna love on you, trust in you, honour you

Please do the same on your part

“‘Why, yes,’ he said, ‘I know of a cure for everything: salt water.’

“‘Salt water?’ I asked him.

“‘Yes,’ he said, ‘in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.’

“I said: ‘I have tried sweat and tears. The salt sea I meant to try, but a woman in black lace prevented me.’

From “Seven Gothic Tales”

In 1934 Dinesen published the short story collection “Seven Gothic Tales” which included “The Deluge at Norderney”. One of the characters named Jonathan Maersk, became unhappy when he learned that his father, ship captain Clement Maersk, was not his genetic father. He visited the ocean and contemplated ending his life, but a woman in black lace unnerved him when she appeared and asked to die with him. Jonathan later spoke to his father Clement and asked whether he knew of a cure for his melancholy.

Isak Dinesen and Tania Blixen were pen names of Karen Blixen who wrote the books “Out of Africa” and “Babette’s Feast” which were made into award-winning movies. This article will use the name Isak Dinesen.

If you know a kid that you want to get interested in the ocean, science or the outdoors, this fish may pique their interest. It's a Striated Frogfish, also known as a Hairy Frogfish. Some have a lot more of a hairy look than this one. When I was with Scott, Judy, and Marie, they were finding a lot of Frogfish but this one was on relatively clean sand and booking it on his way to somewhere. (Personally, I think he had a date.) They "walk" on their front fins but usually stay still, fishing with the little artificial lure in front of their mouth. When a small fish gets to close, attracted to the lure, they open their mouth rapidly, creating an intake of water, prey and all. I read that they have the fastest bite in nature, but that may be a claim like "The best BBQ west of the Mississippi", but I believe it. Another critter from the Blue Heron Bridge dive. (Antennarius striatus)

The Lower Rhein or Niederrhein I just recently discovered is not lower than sea level it is just saturated with a high water table and much flooding, but with flooding comes rich silt that acts as an organic fertilizer for those that farm the flood plains.

Pictured here is the real star of mankind moving out of the Medieval times and into todays prosperous age, the horse, pictured here the Draught Horse breed to be heavily muscled and stout to pull the plow without slipping or injury .

Two further innovations the horse collar and the shoe in the 11th century allowed for better plowing which supported population increase in Europe of about 30% this in turn put people in closer proximity in the villages and cities which in turn increased disease opportunities which in the 14th centaur resulted in all the population gains being wiped out by Black Plague.

The farmers in this region worked under a manor system where a landowner would have several hundred acres of land and would found a manor house, church and pastor and then populate the holdings with farmers that would build a house and work several acres each to support themselves,

the lord of the manor and the church but not in this order.

I know it's really not the best shot, but the light was absolutely horrible. This is my first ever shot of this species, and also the first time I've ever seen one for longer than a second.

This species is honestly bigger than I had really imagined; kinda hard to believe, really, where the phrase "skinny as a rail" really originates from ;).

good birding,

Jonah

I don't know it I did it justice, but I loved this view of the river. The rocks covered in snow, the ice on the shoreline, and the misty clouds coming down from El Capitan were unbelievable. The only thing missing was better light to make everything pop a little better. Overall it was one of my best trips yet to the valley.

I know, I know, another Rainier shot. Told ya I was out! :-)

taken just after the alpenglow died off, liked this spot better but just missed that golden couple minutes. taken above Shadow Lake, Sunrise area.

I put a box where the climbers are, unfortunately on here you can only see the blazed trail, but in lightroom I can see them well enough to count them. :-)

I was able to put the cropped version in comments, kinda cool.

Tribute to HEIDI REWELL and her "did you know...?" serie.

Please don't ask who is this guy in the photo, I don't know. He was just passing by, and when he learnt I was preparing a tribute to Heidi Rewell, he strongly insisted to be part of it.

I know I keep posting E-Type images and saying how much I love the competition cars, but this one in particular is a real beauty. OWC 4 is a competition replica built from a crashed chassis sometime around 1987 by racing driver Bryan Wingfield.

I know I have most likely posted pictures of this bike before but ... well, it's so photogenic! LOL We actually had about 4 inches of snow on Tuesday, the first snow of the season! This bike sits in my yard in a small garden next to the swing. Two symbols of childhood (to me) that are timeless and bring many fond memories. Sadly, most of the snow has melted away already but I have hopes of a repeat before the winter is gone away completely.

You know this is one of those pics that I've been wanting to post since 2016, but somehow it always got moved to the back. I actually like this one a lot, so finally here it is!

I took your heart

I did things to you

Only lovers would do in the dark

Made you a God

Pre-spokes and pre-shows

Will tell me what I did wrong

But hey

You made a nigga flip

What do I say

To make me exist?

Ooh, stranger

Still don't know my name

You still don't know my name

And I would die or stay

For you right now

But you still don't know my name

Yeah

Wish you, wish you'd come over

Missed you, kissed you and make-believe

I'm dreamin' of all the possibilities

I'm kissing all over your body, my Nefertiti

And every time I think the plan is aligning

You still so close yet so far

Still don't know my name

You still don't know my name

And I would die or stay

For you right now

But you still don't know my name

Yeah

You know how you sometimes see a movie behind the scenes interview and run through of a movie, the actor's and crew going through a scene, and how everything seems so fake. Then always amazed to then see the finished scene. The night scene shot with lots of light, and then in post it's all turned into the movie we see.

Well this is my version of that. My brother is standing about where I was when I took the picture in the prior posting. If you look beyond him you can see a pipe that was edited out of my shot. This shot isn't SOOC either, I actually desaturated it and did a few other things to give it post edit look.

So here's my behind the scenes photoshoot with my brother. So much fun.

Oh, almost forgot, my camera settings are the same for both shots. The reality is probably somewhere between these two shots.

I know in some countries flowers are blooming already, but here is the same old and beautiful winter.

Waiting forward for spring, but in the meanwhile a photo of today's walking. Night temperature in this weekend will be -22°C, but days are sunny and beautiful.

Everyone knows that most agricultural products require the fields to change every season, meaning you need to let fields sit fallow sometimes, to rest. The same is true at the Wooden Show Tulip Farm. Every year the tulips are in a different field. They have one field that lines up particularly well with Mt. Hood, that's the field they used this year. The last time this field was used was when they shut down the whole event for Covid. It's been about 6 years since the public got to see flowers in this field.

I had the treat this year of having my son greet me there, he worked at the event this year, his first job. He is also know getting into photography, so we were shooting side by side, how neat is that?

Let me know what you think if this one, my wife liked it, which means it had tons of color (she only likes the colorful shots).
