This image (to the best of my knowledge) was my first experience of Flickr 'Explore'. originally had just short of 200 'Faves', then I made it private for legal reasons and lost the lot!!! Since then it has now been acquired by Apple for the 'Shot on iPhone' campaign 2016.
Had fun with this one!, glass casserole lid, about 3mm water with olive oil dripped in....an LED torch (and an orange piece of A4 tissue paper between the underneath of glass lid and torch).....one of the individual LED bulbs is the resulting Sun, the whole depth of field (from lens to torch) was less than 20mm, olloclip macro @ 21x, handheld, remote, Snapseed on iPad.
September of 2018 the British Car Fest. Over the past four or five years I have attended these events; taking pictures, talking to the various exhibitors and hopefully gaining a little more knowledge of British made cars …….or whatever British made vehicles might show up at these events.
As I was making my way out of the exhibit area back to my car in the parking lot, I spotted a very unusual looking car sitting up on a small hill. Arousing my interest, I went for a look-see. Definitely unusual car and equally confusing identification sign in its window (as seen in the picture I posted.) Identified as a 1948 Morgatti (Morgan Aerline Coupe)……..whatever the hell that is!
Talked to the owner of this car for a while. He never said a thing about this being a home made custom. Guess he was trying to take advantage of my ignorance of British cars. Like some fool I did a lot of research, both on-line and off-line to see if I found anything matching this description. Of course I didn’t because no such thing exists except what he built in his back yard or garage. The body is obviously some fiberglass configuration that he found somewhere …..or had custom made. As you can see he stuck an old Ford flathead V-8 under the hood. The only real thing I learned from speaking to this guy was never believe anything especially when the hood ornament is basically indicating, “when pigs fly”. I have taken to calling this a 1948 Bulldung (for obvious reasons) but all-in-all, (if) he built this thing he did a pretty good job of doing it.

A blue eyed Dragon Fly resting on a floating plant in the pond. You can tell from the shadow we were approaching 11:00 AM as the sun was not quite yet straight overhead. Yet another camera shy insect not willing to turn towards me!
To the best of my knowledge obtained by Google searches (on www.insectidentification.org), this dragonfly is a male Eastern Pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis).

For all UK and most European orchidists, there is one species that stands head and shoulders above all others, and that is the Ghost.
Since 2008, just two plants have are known to have been seen in the UK, one in 2008, just after the plant was declared extinct, and the second and most recent in 2024 by a friend, Richard. Who just happens to be a tour co-leader on this tour.
In mainland Europe, populations of Ghosts are more stable, and so with some knowledge and luck you can see some. But this is 2026, the year of the drought, record temperatures through Spring and into summer. Wildfires are sweeping the continent from the highlands of Scotland, through Suffolk, Kent and onto mainland Europe through France, Spain and Italy.
Europe is burning.
And for Ghosts which like damp, moist ground to grow from, this is a problem, meaning that the still hyper-rare plant will be more elusive for us.
We began the day in a hotel at Lyon Airport. We had slept well thanks to the best air conditioning I have known, so were well rested.
We met with the rest at breakfast, then loaded the car, and they loaded the two vans.
Their first call was to see the epipacticis fibri, and as I had my shots, it was suggested we met at a town in The Alps, we could take our time, have lunch and/or a coffee. So, we programmed the village in, and set off, some two hours drive away.
All on motorways, and in glorious hot sunshine. It was already twenty five at nine in the morning, and even as the roads began to climb, it got warmer and warmer.
As we headed further east, the ground rose, and hills melted into the distance, each layer getting higher and higher.
We turned off the motorway, but continued along a valley, until we reach a large industrial town of Les Chavonnes, from there the road climbed in a proper Le Tour Col de something, into the foothills and crashing through the three thousand feet mark.
We stopped in Bozel, to stretch our legs and to get a drink. It was thirty degrees, the sun beat down in a way that made just standing still sweaty.
We had a cold drink in a cafe, watched the world go by.
A struggle up the hill to the parish church revealed a heavily painted interior, all saints and cherubs. It was most surprising in what seemed like a modest church. We rested in the cool interior until midday when the lights came on and mass was to begin.
We got news of our meeting point, we headed back down the valley, the way we came for ten miles, then turned south up a narrow twisty lane which took us over four thousand feet. It was wooded, heavily shaded.
At a lay by on a long straight road, some thirty miles from Bozel, we found the two buses, and we walked with our friends up into the woods.
In a shaded spot, hundreds of yards from the road was a banks, trees grew at the top, and the bank was covered in moss. Saplings covered much in shade, and in the deepest shade was a single Ghost.
We took turns to snap the small plant, and its three flowers. It was in good condition.
And so the quest ended in a wood, miles away from the modern world.
Afterwards we hugged and shook hands with each other, for most this was the first, and probably only time we would see one.
We walked back to the vehicles, then drove an hour to our hotel for the next two nights, me finding the last parking space in the small car park.
It was a chalet style building. Old and full of character, but the demands of the modern world and en-suite rooms meant that each room was small, but ours had a balcony overlooking the town, with the backdrop of the High Alps in the background.
For a leg-stretcher, we went up a high pass to an Alpine meadow which was full of butterflies and plants, so we wandered for a couple of hours, up the waterfall that tumbled down from the high cliffs hundred of metres above.
A small building did drinks, so we stopped for liquid refreshments. I had a 50cl beer, and in the hot late afternoon sunshine, it was delicious.
Back to the hotel for a debrief at seven, and then dinner at half past, which took the best part of three hours to complete, but was washed down with more cold beer and a half bottle of Beaujolais.

An amazing butterfly of mountainous regions. You would not forget the first time you saw one, and it rightly has iconic status in the Alpes. Its hairiness, body size, wing shape and markings make it appear to be a throwback to prehistoric insects, unrelated to today’s delicate little creatures. However, it glides effortlessly over mountain slopes in a way that transfixes the watcher. Although it is threatened in France and protected in many European countries, I have found it not uncommon in areas such as the Vercors, the Pyrénées and the Alpes-Maritimes.
The markings are very variable, with many different local forms, especially the red spots, and sometimes the underside veins can be clearly yellow (e.g. 25728).
The wings tend to have a waxy appearance when worn, through loss of scales, although the forewing margins are usually devoid of scales even in fresh specimens, but it does not seems to affect its flight. The only other non-Parnassius species that has the same waxy appearance is the Black-veined White (Aporia crataegi).
'In addition to being good, the food must also do the children good. Children and young people need healthy, good and varied food to grow and develop, both physically and mentally.
We develop good recipes and teaching plans based on the recommendations from the Norwegian Directorate of Health.
Healthy food can be so much - we have chosen to teach the children to make the one that tastes fantastic! And when the children have made the food themselves, they know exactly what it consists of, it is also good to know.
We work to stimulate curiosity, cultivate knowledge and increase the enjoyment of food for the children who come to us. And we know that children can cook, they dare to taste and that they must be taken seriously. When children learn to make good food choices, we give them knowledge they can benefit from throughout life.'

--------------------------------
The tradition-rich history of Gerbeaud began in 1858 with Henrik Kugler, the third descendent of a confectionery dynasty. During his years of travel and as an apprentice, Kugler perfected his specialized knowledge of his art in eleven European metropolises, including Paris. The influence of this experience is recognizable to this day.
Kugler opened his first café on what is now József nádor Square. Because of the tastefully furnished salon, the assortment of Chinese and Russian tea specialities, and „the best ice-creams in Pest,” it soon became a wellknown meeting place. In 1870, Henrik Kugler moved his business to Vörösmarty Square, where he could offer his delicacies from the centre of the city.
Kugler’s frothy coffee with chocolate, his special liqueurs and his bon-bons drew in crowds. The Kugler tortes and mignons were not only well-loved, but could be wrapped on a paper tray to take-away, an innovation of Kugler’s.
Famous personalities such as Ferenc Deák and Ferenc Liszt were among the patrons of the café. In 1881, Kugler’s was called „the meeting point of six elegant worlds.”
Henrik Kugler met Emil Gerbeaud for the first time in 1882, in Paris. He invited him a year later to Budapest in order to make him his business partner. Born in Geneva, and like Kugler, coming from a family of confectioners, he travelled as a young man to England, France and Germany, acquiring international experience. He settled in St. Étienne and married Ester Ramseyer the daughter of yet another confectioner and chocolate producer of Saint-Imiér.
In 1884, he entered Kugler’s business, which he gradually overtook. Gerbeaud’s extraordinary talent and his enterprising spirit gave the business added impetus, and accounted for the unique success story of Gerbeaud‘s. Emil Gerbeaud took on a great number of new employees in both sales and service. He introduced numerous innovations: he included among the café’s offerings exceptional, new products, he created hundreds of biscuits, sweets, bon-bons and cherry liqueur bon-bons.
He equipped his bakery with modern machines. By the end of the century, he had approximately 150 employees, many of whom had come to Budapest specifically to work for him. The name Gerbeaud soon become wellknown and espected. With good businness sense, Emil Gerbeaud continued for decades to use the name of his predecessor, Henrik Kugler. His quality was of the highest order. His baked goods were beautifully decorated, his sweets and bon-bons were packaged in artistic paper boxes of his own design. He strove to make a visit to Gerbeaud an experience for his guests.
Gerbeaud was granted valuable awards at numerous exhibitions. World Fair in Brussels and the 1900 Paris Exposition, he was invited to be a member of the jury, and was awarded the French Legion of Honour. Gerbeaud’s lucky star continued to shine ever wider and brighter. After the death of Henrik Kugler in 1908, Gerbeaud established a public limited company under the name „Kugler’s Successor Gerbeaud.” He also kept an eye on the changes in his steadily modernising world: from 1909, there were spaces for both horse-drawn carriages and automobiles in the parking area of the café.
The plans for the interior decoration of the café were completed by the artisan Henrik Darilek in the years after 1910. Fine woods, marble and bronze were used. The ceilings were decorated with rococo plaster work in Louis XV style; the chandeliers and wall lamps were created in Maria
Theresa Style. Gerbeaud had secessionist style tables sent from the Paris World Fair so that the elegant ambiance would be perfect. During this time, however, the effects of the First World War were felt ever more strongly, even in the Gerbeaud House.
Although Emil Gerbeaud survived the difficult war years, he died on November 8, 1919.
His wife Esther took an active part in the management of the business until 1940, always careful to maintain its high standards. At her death, her contemporaries said of her: "She will no longer sit there with her creamy-white hair, in her silk dresses, to control whether or not the coffee with whipped cream in the fine China cups is served promptly and tastefully, and whether the silver tray under the chocolate is shiny enough."
Emil Gerbeaud was an enigmatic personality. His secret lay in his constant attention to the quality and perfection of his products. He was an artist in his profession, whose new ideas
continually developed. To his splendid café he brought a French spirit and a Parisian atmosphere, which was happily embraced by the Pest public.
Over the past century and a half, Gerbeaud Café has numbered among its guests the cream of society and practically every famous person who has visited Budapest. A few impressive names from our guest register: Empress Elizabeth of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; Ferenc Deák; Franz Liszt: King George of Great Britain; Edward, Prince of Wales; Josephine Baker. More recently, Princess Diana, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Elizabeth II, former Austrian chancellor Franz Vranitzky, former Czech president Vacláv Hável. And from the world of stars: Madonna, Ralph Fiennes, Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas, Brad Pitt...

Me gustaba tanto el cielo de ayer, un cielo estrecho, negro de lluvia, que se apretaba contra los vidrios como un rostro ridículo y conmovedor. Este sol no es ridículo, al contrario. Sobre todas las cosas que me gustan, sobre la herrumbre del depósito, sobre las tablas podridas de la empalizada, cae una luz ávara y razonable, semejante a la mirada que, después de una noche insomne, echamos a las decisiones tomadas con entusiasmo la víspera, a las páginas escritas sin tachaduras, de un tirón.
Día perfecto para volver sobre uno mismo: las frías claridades que el sol proyecta, como un juicio sin indulgencia, sobre las criaturas, entran en mí por los ojos; me ilumina por dentro una luz empobrecedora. Me bastarían quince minutos para llegar al sumpremo hastío de mí misma.
Those bozos at the Pennsylvania Railroad couldn't figure out bidirectional signaling to the equally knowledge ignorant Norfolk Southern had to put up a pair of traffic lights to fix this. NS's Port Road Branch once boasted Position Light signals that burned on for decades after their original owner (PRR) was obliterated. During the installation of PTC on the line, the once rule 251 equipped line was upgraded to safetran signaling with advantage of having rule 261 bidirectional signaling. The poles for the PLs are still attached to the catenary poles, but no signals remain. We see some of the new signals presently at MP 352 at Washington Boro, PA as NS 591 gets ready to clear them.
As we try to learn more and more, we do what with that knowledge?
Sometimes, do you look and immediately know: "I need to exit and see no more"?
"Curiosity killed more than some cat", all must know, rigtht?

The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.
The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.

Sorry my knowledge is very limited on ID.
I love the Flickr automatic tags. they have tagged this as food. I may go back and have it on my toast. Wonder if I will have a bad belly afterwards?
That said, I may get a Flickr viewer saying it is edible. Egg on my face then. Sorry about the pun.

A swirling Eastern Pacific Ocean storm system headed for California was spotted by NOAA's GOES-West satellite on February 28. According to the National Weather Service, this storm system has the potential to bring heavy rainfall to the drought-stricken state.
The storm was captured using visible data from NOAA's GOES-West or GOES-15 satellite on Feb. 28 at 1915 UTC/11:15 a.m. PST was made into an image by NASA/NOAA's GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The storm's center appeared as a tight swirl, with bands of clouds and showers already sweeping over the state extending from northern California to Baja California, Mexico.
At 11:30 a.m. PST on February 28, Bill Patzert, climatologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. said, "Right now from northern to southern California we are being battered by very heavy rain, strong winds and our coastal communities are being battered by high surf. Through the weekend we are bracing for mud and rock slides in areas that recently burned [from wildfires]. Flooding is looming up and down the state."
The National Weather Service (NWS) serving Los Angeles posted a Flood Watch for the region on Friday, February 28. The Flood Watch notes the "potential for flash flooding and debris flows for some 2013 and 2014 burn areas in Los Angeles County from this morning through Saturday evening (March 1).”
The NWS Flood Watch also noted "a very strong and dynamic storm will bring a significant amount of rain to much of southwestern California through Saturday evening. A flash flood watch has been issued for several recent burn areas in Los Angeles County due to the abundant rainfall expected. Rain rates at times are expected to range from a half inch to one inch per hour which could cause significant mud and debris flows. There will be a chance of thunderstorms with locally higher rainfall rates."
"Californians haven't seen rain and wind this powerful in 3 years," Patzert said. "By early next week, as this system moves east, this powerful system will wreak havoc causing snow and ice storms through the Midwest into the Northeast."
GOES satellites provide the kind of continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. Geostationary describes an orbit in which a satellite is always in the same position with respect to the rotating Earth. This allows GOES to hover continuously over one position on Earth's surface, appearing stationary. As a result, GOES provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric "triggers" for severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms and hurricanes.
On a positive note, Patzert noted, "This is a nice down payment on drought recovery in the parched Western U.S."

are printed books days numbered?
I've been running out of places to store my books but since I bought a kobo hd glo I don't think I'll ever have that problem.
this kobo can store more than 3000 books at any one time, that's more space than I will ever need and I don't have to worry about eye strain that you get from other device. e ink is the way forward for me.
sb700 and a shoot through umbrella were used to light the subject.

We may throw the dice!
"We may throw the dice—but the Lord determines how they fall." Proverbs 16:33
If the fall of the dice is under the Lord's control—then whose is the arrangement of our whole life? If the simple casting of the dice is guided by Him—how much more the events of our entire life—especially when we are told by our blessed Savior, "The very hairs of your head are all numbered! Not a sparrow falls to the ground without your Father!" It would bring a holy calm over your mind, dear friend, if you were always to remember this. It would so relieve your mind from worry—that you would be the better able to walk in patience, calmness, and cheerfulness, as a Christian should.
When a man is anxious—he cannot pray with faith, or serve his Master. When you worry and fret about your lot and circumstances, you are meddling with Christ's business, and neglecting your own! You have been attempting "providing" work—and forgetting that it is yours to "obey". Be wise and attend to the obeying—and let Christ manage the providing.
Come and survey your Father's storehouse, and ask whether He will let you starve—while He has laid up so great an abundance in His garner! Look at His heart of mercy—and ask if that heart can ever prove unkind! Look at His inscrutable wisdom—and ask if that wisdom can ever be at fault. Above all, look to Jesus Christ your Intercessor, and ask yourself, while He pleads, can your Father deal ungraciously with you? If He remembers even sparrows, will He forget one of His poor children?
"Cast your burden upon the Lord—and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall." Psalm 55:22
