Many years ago I thought nothing of purchasing anything made of plastic. Looking at this image of plastic straws, I am reminded that it is up to each and every one of us to make significant changes to our lives if we care about our Earth and those who will live long after we have left this planet.

 

In my mind, this image has gone from one of captured beauty to one as a reminder that I need to be aware of my part in protecting Mother Earth.

Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.

"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."

La strada che porta alla conoscenza è una strada che passa per dei buoni incontri.

 

The road that leads to knowledge is a road that passes through good meetings.

Golden Eagle - pre jump.

 

I couldn't believe my luck when I came across this beauty. He was hunting from this fence post while his partner was watching him from their favorite tree upslope and in full view.

 

I proceeded out of my vehicle very slowly and got into position and remained very quite and calm. After a minute he targeted a ground squirrel and went to ground.

 

Each individual bird has it's own unique disposition, and even more so do species have their own tendencies to behave in particular ways.

 

You never know what impact your presence has, especially if a predator is hunting. I always try to error on the side of cautious and give them room to do their thing.

 

There is no such thing as a wildlife photographer who never flushes a bird, no matter how skilled or knowledgable they are. I was pleased to leave this beautiful Eagle in peace after getting a memorable sequence.

 

That should be the goal of every wildlife photographer.

 

As I drove away it remained on the ground next to a ground squirrel hole, patiently waiting for a meal.

 

More photos from this sequence to come.

Japan and the Netherlands commemorated in the year 2000 that both countries "met" for the first time 400 years ago. With the stranding on the Japanese coast of the Dutch ship "De Liefde" (April 19, 1600) a wonderful, sometimes difficult exchange started between two cultures, East and West. In the botanical field, there was a lot of exchange of plants and plant knowledge.

 

There was regular exchange of people, objects and knowledge through the Deshima trading post near Nagasaki. The Hortus botanicus also had its role as a conduit for many, at that time unknown and now loved plant species. They found their way from Japan via the Leiden Hortus to Dutch ornamental plant cultivation.

 

The standard-bearer of this plant exchange was Philipp Franz von Siebold. In his honor, a Japanese garden has been laid out in the Hortus botanicus: the Von Siebold Memorial Garden. In this Japanese garden is the statue of Von Siebold, which is of particular interest to Japanese visitors. A bow to the image, and thus to the life and work of Von Siebold, is an important goal for them when visiting Leiden and the Leiden Hortus.

 

Knowledge should mean a full grasp of knowledge:

Knowledge means to know yourself, heart and soul.

If you have failed to understand yourself,

Then all of your reading has missed its call.

 

What is the purpose of reading those books?

So that Man can know the All-Powerful.

If you have read, but failed to understand,

Then your efforts are just a barren toil.

 

Don’t boast of reading, mastering science

Or of all your prayers and obeisance.

If you don’t identify Man as God,

All your learning is of no use at all.

 

The true meaning of the four holy books

Is found in the alphabet’s first letter.

You talk about that first letter, preacher;

What is the meaning of that-could you tell?

 

Yunus Emre says to you, pharisee,

Make the holy pilgrimage if need be

A hundred times-but if you ask me,

The visit to a heart is best of all.

 

Yûnus Emre (1238–1320)

"I'm only lonely

When the night is home

Controlling for me

'Til my right is wrong

Nothing's the way it seems

When things go wrong

I know me, know me

I cannot move on

I cannot move on

 

Everytime I...

Close my eyes I...

Dream about your face

Nothing can replace

Everytime I...

Close my eyes, your

Voice I can't retrace

Nothing can replace

Nothing can replace

 

I know you told me that you won't be long

Time lapse and I'm trapped in another's arms...

I am too cold, I long for your warmth

I'm not me, got me

I cannot move on

I cannot move on

Far away

I'm all alone

I'm on my own..." - Ravyn Lenae ♫

A geological hammer, in memory of Mary Anning (1799-1847) from Lyme Regis/Dorset, fossil collector and lay palaeontologist and one of the key figures in the discovery of dinosaurs. She was not an "Anglican gentleman", not part of the establishment, but a dissenter and a woman and as such not allowed to join the Geological Society of London. "The world has used me so unkindly", she wrote. Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F 0.95; reflector used; edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.

When processing this photo, I was brought to tears. If anyone has the time and will look at this photo, I would like to know how it affects you. Does it anger you? Make you sad? Does it not affect you at all? The reason I am asking is purely for knowledge, I will not judge anyones answers, if anyone does answer, I just need to know if others feel the same way I do.

How does it affect me? I see a beautiful creature, bound by the weight of a trap, with snow packed around it, walking alone in the frozen tundra. I feel the fox's pain, dispair, it makes me feel like if I were the fox, I would think my days were numbered.

Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to comment.

This was just a test shot ahead of my planned evening shoot, but to be honest I prefer this daytime version on account that the colours show up better, especially the middle mustard section and roof cylinder. And the new pool does lend itself for some great reflections.

Squonk - Genesis / A Trick of the Tail, 1976

 

Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now. I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you, making noises my little furry friend would make. I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack. You better watch out, you better watch out. I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away. Walking home that night, the sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder, when suddenly it stopped. I opened up the sack, all that I had a pool of bubbles and tears, just a pool of tears. Just a pool of tears. All in all you are a very dying race, placing trust upon a cruel world. You never had the things you thought you should have had and you'll not get them now. And all the while in perfect time... your tears are falling on the ground.

 

.....

When I heard the Genesis album "A Trick of the Tail," I didn't understand the song "Squonk." I didn't understand what it was explaining exactly, or who the song was referring to. The neuron that fires in my brain to do something I enjoy, which is something like musical archaeology, disconnected for some reason. It stopped making synapses in my neural system, and I did nothing to find out what this song explained. A few years later, I became interested in a strange website called the Internet Archive, also known as archive.org for its internet address. This kind of digital internet library or website is established as a non-profit organization and is operated thanks to the efforts of people who volunteer their free time to make this website work. Explaining what the Internet Archive is isn't easy. It's an organization and a website that advocates for a free and open Internet, for the free flow of information, offering free access to collections of digitized materials, software applications, music, audiovisual materials, books, printed materials, and much more. It's especially important to websites that are closing and contain old digital material that would otherwise be lost. They try to preserve Internet content in this way, functioning as a "backup" of the Internet, making it possible to recover and view web pages that have disappeared or been deleted, thus eliminating the information they contained. It's a free, open library accessible to everyone. Its objective is to preserve human culture and knowledge. It's easy to get lost in it given the vast amount of information and materials available. You often search and get lost among so much material and find things you don't even know what they're for, or you find things that surprise you. You can even find software for your first Amstrad or Atari computer, which you bought in the 1990s. I highly recommend it. Here are the updated figures from Wikipedia about what you can find on the Internet Archive: 46 million printed materials, 15 million videos, 1.3 million software programs, 14 million audio files, 5.3 million images, 279,660 concerts, and more than 946 billion web pages in its Wayback Machine (a database containing copies of a huge number of Internet pages or sites). Does that seem like too little to you? Or do you think it's a place worth diving into to search and find the strangest things you can think of or look for? It's a kind of "grandmother's trunk" that holds everything. And it's the books section that I think is the best organized, where you can find books that no longer exist, that aren't published, or that you wouldn't even find in your local municipal library. There are millions of digitized books, where I've even found books that are impossible to find elsewhere. One day, while searching the book section, I accidentally found a book by Cox titled "Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods, With a Few Desert and Mountain Beasts." The book is like a fantasy field guide written in 1910 by William Thomas Cox. It's a book about legendary and strange creatures that are part of the legends of the forests of the United States and Canada, and especially of Pennsylvania. As field guides do with their scientific names, Cox's book includes the Latin nomenclature of the strange being (I imagine invented by Cox), its habitat, morphology, customs, and behaviors. If you decide to read it, keep one important thing in mind. You won't find a literary gem, for the simple reason that Cox only wrote two or three books in his life. Cox wasn't a writer; he was a forester, a person who dedicated himself to the cultivation and care of forests. But that is precisely his great merit, as, not a writer, but a forester, he wrote a book of legends about strange beings that is so interesting to read. You can find the book for free on the Internet Archive. It was while reading this book that I came across a chapter where it talks about a strange being, a legend... the legend of the Squonk, and I remembered the Genesis song, the meaning of which I hadn't understood. Reading this chapter, I managed to understand the song. Rather than describing what a Squonk is, I'll give you an excerpt from Cox's book, so you can perhaps better understand the lyrics of Genesis's Squonk song.

 

Squonk (Lacrimacorpus dissolvens.)

[...] The squonk is very shy in nature and generally travels near dusk or dawn. Because of its maladjusted skin, which is covered with warts and moles, it is always sad; in fact, it is said, by those better qualified to judge, to be the most morbid of beasts. Hunters who are good at tracking are able to follow a squonk by its tear-stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly. When cornered and escape seems impossible, or when surprised and frightened, it may even dissolve itself in tears. Squonk hunters are most successful on very cold, moonlit nights, when tears fall slowly and the animal does not like to come out; it can be heard crying beneath the branches of the dark hemlock trees. Mr. J. P. Wentling, formerly of Pennsylvania, who moved to Minnesota, had a failed experience with a squonk near Monte Alto. He planned a clever capture by tricking a squonk into jumping into a satchel he was carrying home, when suddenly the load lightened and the tears stopped. Wentling opened the satchel and looked inside. There was nothing there except a pool of tears.

 

.....

In the Xizang Autonomous Region of China, there are so-called "tulins" or earth forests.. These are geological formations that resemble forests due to their shapes created by erosion. The best known is the Zanda Forest in Ngari Prefecture, where the largest Tertiary layer of earth forests or geologic forests in the world is found. These are important geological information for understanding the evolution of our planet. They are partly similar to the Yadan, but have a structure and formation more similar to the Badlands due to their sedimentary stratification and deep gullies and ravines. In any case, all these types of geological landscapes have in common: aridity and the absence of life. There are no plants or animals, or they are practically nonexistent except for the occasional "clueless" scorpion. They are inhospitable lands, barren lands with little life. Perhaps that's why there was no way to find a Squonk in Zanda. He must have felt too sad and scared, faced with so much loneliness, aridity, and the absence of life, walking alone at twilight in a strange and gloomy place. Possibly the sadness generated by such an inhospitable place made him start to cry, and as the legend of the Squonk says... he disappeared due to that ability that Squonks have to dissolve into their own tears when they are cornered, scared, or sad. We'll have to go somewhere else to find a Squonk, perhaps in... Los Endos. Los Endos sounds like a word reminiscent of a Mexican border town. A small Mexican town that is a refuge for an evil band of outlaws who have the entire population terrified and scared. There is no life or people in the streets; everyone is kept indoors, fearful. A place with a name typical of a spaghetti western film plot shot in Almería in the Tabernas Desert and with a soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. Soon John Wayne will appear, who always fixes everything. The word and the song Los Endos by Génesis mean nothing; it has no translation. They simply tried to use the term "End" to title the last song on the album, "A Trick of the Tail." It could be something like Spanishifying the term "End." Surely Los Endos are somewhere where the world ends, where no one has gone, where our lost Squonk cries... at the end of the world. We'll have to go find our Squonk at... Los Endos.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------

 

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!

 

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

 

❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️

 

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)

 

16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)

 

1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

 

3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

 

9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)

 

7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

 

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

 

5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)

 

Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

 

So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

To my knowledge the Roseate Spoonbills in Florida are still scattered around and haven’t yet begun their rookery for this season’s nesting. One morning at Wakodahatchee Wetlands a couple hung around after sunrise and acted like they were looking for a nesting site. They do this every year in an effort to purposedly raise our hopes, only to dash them when they disappear to nest somewhere else. Well, I’m not falling for it this year!

"In the deepest sense the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a search for ourselves."

 

Carl Sagan

"Ipsa scientia potestas est". The phrase “Knowledge is power” is commonly attributed to Francis Bacon,1597

 

I am beginning to wonder --

recently it seems the "power is power" and knowledge seems to have no place in American politics.

 

On Tuesday, the director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned over the war in Iran, urging Trump to "reverse course".

 

In a letter, Kent argued that Iran posed no imminent threat to the US, despite the administration's repeated claims to the contrary.

 

Recently, Donald Trump made several blunt comments about Joe Kent after Kent resigned from his role as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in March 2026.

 

What Trump said:

 

Trump dismissed Kent as “weak on security”.

He said it was “a good thing that he’s out” of the administration.

He criticised Kent’s judgement, saying people who think Iran isn’t a threat are “not smart” or “not savvy.”

 

Kent resigned in protest over the U.S. war with Iran, arguing the conflict was unnecessary and based on misleading information.

Trump, by contrast, has defended the war as necessary for national security and based on credible threats.

  

And the weirdest bit of all - - - Trump nominated Kent in February 2025 to be director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

 

Водная феерия, которая продолжается тут более 300 лет, — заслуга Петра I. Известно, что император был хорош не только в государственных делах. Как гласит история, используя технические знания и немного смекалки, он построил самотёчный канал, который запитал фонтаны водой с Ропшинской возвышенности благодаря естественному перепаду высот рельефа. Сколько конструкций было придумано именно Петром I, сейчас сказать трудно, но какие-то работают здесь со времён первого русского императора.

В дальнейшем фонтанную систему Петергофа неоднократно расширяли и реконструировали, но природный водопровод продолжает работать по принципу сообщающихся сосудов, без насоса и какой-либо автоматики. Настоящее инженерное чудо!

............................................................................................................................................................The water extravaganza, which has been going on here for more than 300 years, is the merit of Peter I. It is known that the emperor was good not only in state affairs. As the story goes, using technical knowledge and a little ingenuity, he built a gravity channel that fed the fountains with water from the Ropshinsky upland due to the natural elevation difference of the relief. It is difficult to say how many designs were invented by Peter I, but some have been working here since the time of the first Russian emperor.

In the future, the fountain system of Peterhof was repeatedly expanded and reconstructed, but the natural water supply continues to work on the principle of communicating vessels, without a pump and any automation. A real engineering miracle!
