In 2012, this aircraft became the first F-15 of any type to log over 10,000 hours.

L’entends déjà le pas de la fleur
Qui annonce le printemps.

Se oye el paso de la flor que viene
Y anuncia ya la primavera.

Photo : Coccinelle dans le bois de Sillé-le-Guillaume. La coccinelle est un animal bien aimé, qui, dit-on, quand il vient nous porte chance. C’est un animal protagoniste de tant et tant légendes dans beaucoup de traditions séculaires. Au XXe siècle, un homme, accusé d’avoir assassiné son patron est condamné à la décapitation. Il proteste (en vain) avec véhémence. Au moment où le bourreau va abattre sa hache, il remarque une coccinelle posée sur le coup du pauvre homme. De sa grosse main, il la retire délicatement, reprend sa hache et s’apprête de nouveau à infliger la sentence lorsqu’il aperçoit la coccinelle située sur le coup du condamné. Le roi, présent comme à chaque exécution, y voit un signe divin et décide de gracier l’homme. Quelques jours plus tard, le vrai meurtrier est découvert. Une autre version, datant de la même époque, explique que les pucerons ravageaient les récoltes, ce qui allait engendrer une grande période de famine. Désespérés, les fermiers se mirent à prier la Sainte-Vierge. Par la suite, des nuées de coccinelles atterrirent et dévorèrent les pucerons, ce qui sauva les récoltes. Les fermiers virent en cet événement une intervention divine.

Foto: Mariquita en el bosque de Silé-le-Guillaume. La mariquita es un animal querido, que, se dice, cuando llega nos trae suerte. Es un animal que protagoniza numerosas leyendas en muchas seculares tradiciones. En el siglo XX, un hombre acusado de haber asesinado a su jefe es condenado a decapitación. Él protesta (en vano) con vehemencia. Justo cuando el verdugo está ya a punto de bajar su hacha, ve una mariquita posada sobre el cuello del pobre. Con su gran mano la retira con delicadeza, toma su hacha y se dispone nuevamente a imponer la sentencia cuando ve la mariquita situada en el cuello del condenado. El rey, presente como en cada ejecución, lo vio como un signo divino y decidió perdonar al hombre. Unos días después, se descubre al verdadero asesino. Otra versión, que data de la misma época, explica que los pulgones asolaban los cultivos, lo que provocaría una gran época de hambruna. Desesperados, los agricultores comenzaron a rezar a la Santísima Virgen. Posteriormente, enjambres de mariquitas aterrizaron y devoraron los pulgones, salvando las cosechas. Los agricultores vieron este evento como una intervención divina.

If you ever get the chance to visit Liverpool (and I hope you do) you will soon notice the all consuming obsession with the Beatles wherever you go in the city. If anything time has only added to the legend that surrounds this extraordinary band of four musicians that literally changed the face of music in the early 60s and continued to innovate until their breakup 10 years later. Cheeky, funny, and ultra talented the Beatles reigned supreme in the pop music world for all of that time.
These larger than life bronze statues celebrating the fab four are by sculptor Andy Edwards and sit in the area on the River Mersey referred to as Pier Head, very close to the fabulous Royal Liver building. It's such a popular attraction that it's actually quite difficult to get a shot like this because there are hordes of tourists surrounding the artwork from dawn till dusk, all of them waiting their turn to nestle in amongst the statues for their own 'Beatles moment'. And who can blame them!
The Highway of Legends in Colorado is a scenic and historic byway that spans 82 miles through the San Isabel National Forest. It is a National Scenic Byway, National Forest Scenic Byway, and Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway. The byway showcases the unique geological features of south-central Colorado, including the Spanish Peaks, remnants of a 20-million-year-old volcano. It also features the famous Devils’ Stairsteps and Profile Rock.
In this scene the Aspens are in full color as we descend from 11,000 ft down the back side of the Spanish Peaks towards Cuchara ski area.
Saddened by the news of Steve Jobs. I've used his products practically every day since 1990. They've changed my life and shaped the industry I work in.
I live by this quote of his...
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
(Steve Jobs - June 2005)

View of the Old Town of Dubrovnik and Lokrum island from our holiday apartment's balcony, early in the morning on another hot and humid day. According to legend, Richard the Lionheart was shipwrecked in 1192 after returning home from the crusades and was cast safely ashore on Lokrum.
I've seen this person zoom by me from behind on a dozen occasions, but today I finally caught them coming towards me.

There is a legend related to Háifoss waterfall. It goes like this: "An ogress lived in Háifoss (which used to be called Fossárfoss before it got its name in 1912). She lived on trout, which she caught in the waterfall. Once a teenage boy travelling with other travellers threw a rock into the river. That night the ogress went to the tent, where the travellers were sleeping, and tried to pull the teenage boy by his legs out of the tent. But his mates pulled him in the other direction by the upper part of his body. After a lot of tussle the ogress let the boy go and went away, but the boy was bedridden for a whole month from this maltreatment". (Translated from the Folklore of Jón Árnason).
Haifoss waterfall, situated near the volcano Hekla in the south of Iceland. The river Fossá, a tributary of Þjórsá, drops here from a height of 122 m. This is the second highest waterfall of the island.
I know that technically this probably isn't up to scratch, but it does somehow capture what this place feels like. The loneliness of hills, forested bogland.
Legend - Moeraki. 🇳🇿
Whether you subscribe to the Māori legend that sees these as ancient ‘eel baskets’, washed ashore after the sinking of the Arai-te-uru canoe, or the more recent scientific explanations of rock formation – I’m yet to find a single person who doesn’t find the Moeraki Boulders simply fascinating when they’re revealed by the ocean.
Embedded within the beach and surrounding cliffs on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, these 6-8ft wide natural sculptures are still forming, moving and eroding – presenting a landscape that shifts with time as well as the ebb and flow of the Pacific waves.
Catch the tide at the wrong time, and you’ll struggle to see any of them. Catch an approaching wave on this incredibly shallow beach, and you’ll find both you and your camera soaked to the core. Click the button at the right time, however, and you’re rewarded with one of the most serene views in the natural world.

So I needed to empty out my box of Marvel Legends tonight. I needed to get pictures of Iron Fist, Sasquatch and Maestro. Most of these were at the bottom.
I don't just tip the box out willy nilly and let them get bashed around, I carefully unpack it and stand the marvels up one by one.. these have been re-arranged slightly, but not to the stage where they are in a dramatic scene or shot. I was quite taken back at how many I have, this doesn't include the figures I have from the HML series or the Fantastic Four Box Set. See the Tags list for the figures or characters in this picture.
