Knowing they have been seen around here, but very infrequently, I snuck up on the creek this morning and surprised a pair of wood ducks. The male went one way and the female with the other. But I managed to get a few shots of the male before he hid further down the creek. What a lucky morning!
Knowing where to look and knowing what you are looking for will not get you a glimpse of the Ghost of Cassiopeia (IC 63 for the astronomers). A "go to mount" or more precisely, a stable tripod and a motorized mount with a library of the directions to deep sky objects will get your camera or telescope trained on this eerie cluster of nebulae, 550 light years away.
That giant W hanging in the sky is the Constellation Cassiopeia, consisting of 5 bright stars. The star in the middle is named Gamma Cassiopeiae, and it is a monster--19 times more massive than our sun, 65,000 times brighter, rotating 200 times faster. Its light falls on the Ghost Nebula, several light years distant. Its UV radiation is absorbed by hydrogen gas, which gains energy and then loses it, releasing light from the red portion of the spectrum. Gamma Cassiopeia also releases blue light, which is then reflected by dust in the Ghost. So the Ghost is both an emission and a reflection nebula.

Not knowing what you're looking at in a picture can sometimes be annoying. But if you look long enough you might see two circular ramps of a parking-garage around midnight. All artificial lit. The pink area's are illuminated by cars coming down the ramp. The blue parts are "normal" lit.
So, just shapes 'n' colours....
Enjoy!

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

We had a surprise encounter with wildflowers at Trona Pinnacles, and after parking our van, I took a little hike around the pinnacles, searching for wildflower patches. There were mainly two major flowers blooming: the yellow ones and the purple ones. The purple flowers were much easier to photograph because they clustered together. The yellow flowers were more spread out, and at sunset, with strong warm light, they were a bit harder to see. But once the sun set and the light softened, they became much more visible, and I was able to capture a few images of the stunning scene.

... knowing that we know how fossils are created, and how that process is a once in million ... and how fleeting life is, we should be putting items from our time period in sediments so that future intelligence will be able to find millions of years from now evidence of our existence after we are long gone.
Need to go bury things in the right sediments now :)
I go into the woods with my eyes open for opportunities and sometimes they work. A little twist of ICM and a reflection in PS. I wonder if it is worth pursuing this path though.
Have a good weekend.
Edit: Great thought from Carlton
The Road Not Taken (poet Robert Frost)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Some background from Wikipedia: Frost spent the years 1912 to 1915 in England, where among his acquaintances was the writer Edward Thomas. Thomas and Frost became close friends and took many walks together. One day as they were walking together they came across two roads. Thomas was indecisive about which road to take and in retrospect often lamented that they should have taken the other one. After Frost returned to New Hampshire in 1915, he sent Thomas an advance copy of "The Road Not Taken". Thomas took the poem seriously and personally, and it may have been significant in Thomas' decision to enlist in World War I. Thomas was killed two years later in the Battle of Arras.
knowing what these buggers can do to a monarch caterpillar.... I get sick whenever I spot one... and this is the main reason when I spot a Monarch egg, I bring it safely inside!!
About the Tachinid fly:
The Tachinid fly (also know as Tachinidae and/or tachina flies or simply tachinids) is a large family of parasitoid flies that lay their eggs in host insects (usually caterpillars). The fly eggs hatch and feed on the host insects, eventually killing the host and emerging as a larva (maggot) that then turns into a fly. One type of Tachinid fly targets the Monarch caterpillar (see images above and below). This Tachinid fly injects its egg or eggs into the Monarch caterpillar, where the eggs hatch and grow as parasoids, eventually killing the caterpillar (or chrysalis). I've actually seen a Tachinid fly land on and inject its egg into a Monarch caterpillar. From what I've witnessed, the fly doesn't really land on and sit on the caterpillar. Instead it's more of a hit-and-run. The fly just touches the caterpillar and leaves, and the caterpillar spasms and drops to the ground, where it writhes and thrashes about, appearing to attempt to rub its back on the ground to dislodge whatever has just hurt it. I've only seen a Tachinid fly hit a caterpillar twice, and it's a blink-of-the-eye thing... usually I just see flies in the area, and then I will notice a caterpillar drop to the ground and wiggle and flop. All of the sources I've read have said the Tachinid fly targets the Monarch caterpillar, but one source said the fly can also inject its egg into a Monarch egg. I am trying to determine if this is true. As you'll also read below, I tried raising two "wild" Monarch caterpillars that were only about a 1/4" long, and they both eventually died from Tachinid maggots. I used to think Tachinid flies only targeted big caterpillars, but from my experience with the 1/4" long caterpillars eventually dying, it is clear to me that Tachinid flies can also target (inject) small Monarch caterpillars. What is unclear is if the Tachinid fly also targets the Monarch egg, as well as what can be done about the dreaded Tachinid fly.

This is the first image of the Capsized series. All of the photographs in the series were taken on a rainy and very windy day. I like not knowing if the capsizing of the flowers was the result of the wind or playful child.
Los Llanos, Venezuela, 2006.
“But the true voyagers are only those who leave
Just to be leaving; hearts light, like balloons,
They never turn aside from their fatality
And without knowing why they always say: "Let's go!”

Maybe the title is a bit overdramatic, but seriously, knowing what we should focus on at what point in our lives is the tricky bit. Hope you have a great day. HSS!

I come to centennial park knowing there would be a lot of friendly birds and a nice sunset. I was not disapointed!
Peace is never long preserved by weight of metal or by an armament race. Peace can be made tranquil and secure only by understanding and agreement fortified by sanctions. We must embrace international cooperation or international disintegration. Science has taught us how to put the atom to work. But to make it work for good instead of for evil lies in the domain dealing with the principles of human dignity. We are now facing a problem more of ethics than of physics.
Bernard Baruch
From the prophets' dreams of the time when nations would beat their swords into plowshares to today's aspirations of a nuclear-weapons-free world, we have sought to avoid armed conflict and not yield to despair in the search for universal peace. The nuclear threats from Iran, North Korea, and terrorists can only be overcome through international cooperation. We call upon Congressional leaders and those worldwide to join together to ensure the fulfillment of these long-overdue initiatives and the achievement of a safer future without nuclear weapons.
David Saperstein
Simply put, international terrorism made international cooperation mandatory rather than elective. Collective security has become the only real security against the hydra-headed monster of international terror.
John Ashcroft
The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.
Hamid Karzai

I know that my nervous system is sometimes triggered by old manipulations. Just knowing this makes the situation much easier. I let the wave come and pass over or under me. The wave disappears, and the next time it comes, it has already lost its power. With each wave, I become more steadfast, and my resilience grows.
This work is dedicated to women and their uphill battles of juggling work and family life. I address the importance of accepting motherhood for our children, hoping that our society will change and allow women more time with their children after birth. Starting with breastfeeding, which is on a 3-hour basis, and creates a special lifetime bond between mother and child. Promoting a strong educational and loving environment for children to grow in. Mothers are the family base, very much in tune with their children, and are always working for the best for their children. This takes time, and the time should be available, especially if we want peace, diversity, and acceptance in our world.
Mothers are often the family base, tuned in, and working to achieve the best for their children. This endeavor demands time which is too often is in short supply due to the uphill battle of juggling work and family life.
My late husband’s deep love and respect for his mother grew into love, respect, belief in, and support, for myself and our four daughters. His belief in us empowered our lives as he valued our dreams and endeavors. I wish that all men and partners had this positive and supportive attitude, as it makes life easier for the whole family.
A mother’s role is important in their children's lives. In order to bring up healthy and well-balanced children, sufficient time is required to be given to the children, time should be made available at birth and through an extended time. Child development psychologists state that the first 3-5 years of a child's life are the most important. Sadly, many employers do not see things that way.
In order to provide mothers with time to nurture their family, with the understanding that it is in the best interest of young children, the government needs to change the concept of Stay-At-Home-Mothers, making it acceptable for mothers to look after their children full-time with the help of family benefits and tax credits.
Thoughtful employers can make a difference in the possibilities for mothers. Flexible work schedules, providing more time for maternity leave is an example seen throughout Europe. Employers could make a leave of absence possible, providing a young mother with time for her children. Women should without exception be paid equally and provided with the same benefits as men who are doing the same work. If women have been invaluable workers, why treat them with anything other than respect and understanding?
Something is very wrong here, and this needs to change. Often the $ £ is more important than human life today. If we all work together, helping one another, we can get closer to equality. I know that total equality does not work, but equality within reason, most certainly does. Providing a strong educational and loving environment for children to grow up in takes tremendous effort and time. If we value peace, diversity and acceptance, we should work together to provide this time.
I often choose to use bright and strong colours for my work to make my message stronger and to elaborate on my concern for what is happening in today’s world. I always try to give a positive message, believing that I have a better chance of a positive reaction.

This collaboration with Beth was done differently than the ones previous. Instead of going back and forth until we arrived at a single final image, Beth provided the initial starter and then we both expanded on it separately. We are posting at the same time without knowing what each has done with it.
Viewing Large for this is suggested.
HERE is Beth's version for anyone interested.
Knowing that snow/rain was coming for the next morning and we might not be able to photograph it at morning light. My husband and I decided to try sunset. Lucky we got a little color in the clouds. The wind was blowing and it was freezing but so beautiful!
Chapter VIII : Some worrying news
The style card and credits here
Richard hadn't been able to sleep well since the incident in Paris. Diego's report on Mikko's actions lingered in his mind, filling it with doubts. Did they really know Mikko? The speed and coldness with which he had shot the saboteur seemed unsettling. Lost in his thoughts, Richard tried to piece things together, but he always ended up with more questions than answers.
Almost at dawn, his phone rang, abruptly pulling him out of his reverie. It was one of the technicians from the monitoring room, his voice urgent. "Richard, there's a new disturbance in the timeline. You need to come to the Ministry immediately." Without wasting a second, Richard got ready, knowing that this could be the opportunity he needed to investigate Mikko more thoroughly. He wondered if there was a connection between Mikko and the recent events that seemed to emerge without explanation.
Upon arriving at the Ministry, Richard went straight to the monitoring room, where the screens displayed temporal anomalies at various points in history. While assessing the situation, he couldn't stop thinking about Mikko. Determined, he began to review Mikko's records and history, looking for any clue that could shed light on his true identity and intentions. Deep down, he feared that Mikko might be linked in some way to the temporal disturbances that had started to appear suddenly. The truth, he thought, had to come to light before it was too late
