snail is, in loose terms, a shelled gastropod. The name is most often applied to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. However, the common name snail is also used for most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word "snail" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also numerous species of sea snails and freshwater snails. Gastropods that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are often called semi-slugs.Snails have considerable human relevance, including as food items, as pests, and as vectors of disease, and their shells are used as decorative objects and are incorporated into jewelry.The snail has also had some cultural significance, tending to be associated with lethargy. The snail has also been used as a figure of speech: someone who is not moving fast enough is "slow as a snail." The snail is the same or similar shape as the Cochlea.
Climbing all over the thistle. I don't think I know
another flower which absorbs the bees attention as much as the common thistle - almost to the point of intoxication and seeming lethargy. Nothing appears to disturb them no matterhow close you get.
Here you can see him smothered in pollen whilst buried in the flower. I came across him on my walk, was listening to the sound of the larks when I noticed the buzzing of a bee and tracked him with my ears to this thistle. One of the advantages of having very few cars travel the road I walk.
Taken locally, the bee was alive but very lethargic. It was very cold so hopefully it warmed up in the sun.
A Fruit Coma is a state of prolonged unconsciousness that can be caused by a variety of fruits....also a state of sleep or extreme lethargy induced by the consumption of a large amount of fruits.
Enjoy your Weekend and Stay Safe!!!

Oxímoron: dos palabras como luz y oscuridad , que se encuentran en una misma oración pero que se oponen en cuanto a su concepto, formando un significado nuevo. También la luz y la oscuridad forman una imagen nueva en esta fotografía y hay más ejemplos en nuestra vida, a veces confunden y a veces adquieren significado aunque no todo el mundo lo entienda.
Soledad sonora.
Silencio de cristal.
Se rompe la luz en las esquinas.
Se agrieta el aire para respirar.
Vuelven los recuerdos como filos
Vuelven las palabras ya vacias
La luz alumbra pero no ilumina.
El tiempo pasa pero no fluye.
Costuras deshilachadas entorno al futuro .
No está lo que nunca se fue.
No nacerá lo que no imaginamos.
Tu letargo, tu angustia, tus pensamientos de tiempo en colores.
Contradicción, confusión entorno a tus pasos.
No entiendo, nadie llegó hasta aquí persiguiendo una verdad escasa.

..............................
Oxymoron: two words such as light and darkness, which are found in the same sentence but which oppose their concept, forming a new meaning. Light and darkness also form a new image in this photograph and there are more examples in our lives, sometimes they confuse and sometimes they acquire meaning even if not everyone understands it.
Sound loneliness.
Crystal silence
The light breaks in the corners.
The air cracks to breathe.
Memories return as sharp edges
The empty words are back
The light shines but does not illuminate.
Time passes but does not flow.
Frayed seams around the future.
There is what never left.
What we do not imagine will not be born.
Your lethargy, your anguish, your thoughts of time in colors.
Contradiction, confusion around your steps.
I do not understand, nobody came here understanding a little truth
Seen by day, these chunky herons seem dull and lethargic, with groups sitting hunched and motionless in trees near water. They become more active at dusk, flying out to foraging sites, calling "wok" as they pass high overhead in the darkness. Some studies suggest that they feed at night because they are dominated by other herons and egrets by day. A cosmopolitan species, nesting on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
Habitat:
Marshes, shores; roosts in trees. Found in a wide variety of aquatic habitats, around both fresh and salt water, including marshes, rivers, ponds, mangrove swamps, tidal flats, canals, ricefields. Nests in groves of trees, in thickets, or on ground, usually on islands or above water, perhaps to avoid predators.

A new boiler, MOT, insurance and tax plus a few named storms, a damaged chimney, a leaking garage roof and a general lethargy meant February has been a bit of a write off for photography. Well at least getting away anywhere....
Though they seem like rather pathetic complaints currently.
Will try to have a catch up over the weekend.
The sublime Collonges la Rouge - Corrèze - New Aquitaine - France - Europe
Depuis l’époque Gallo-Romaine
A l’Époque Gallo-Romaine, le site est habité, dès 844 il fait partie de la Vicomté de Turenne (qui a un statut d’autonomie, surtout fiscale, unique en France). Véritable état féodal devenu un des plus grands fiefs de France. La vicomté de Turenne jouit du Moyen Âge au XVIIIe siècle d’une autonomie complète.
1738, le dernier héritier vend la Vicomté de Turenne à Louis XV afin d’éponger ses dettes de jeux. Cette vente sonne la fin des privilèges.
A partir du XIe siècle, le village se développe autour du Prieuré, le tympan et le clocher de l’église en sont les vestiges romans.
A la fin du XVe et début XVIe siècle, Collonges devient le lieu de résidence des officiers de justice, d’administration et autres hauts fonctionnaires de la Vicomté de Turenne. De là proviennent de nombreux castels, manoirs et leurs tours en poivrière, qui ornent le village et contribuent à la richesse architecturale de Collonges.
En 1880, le phylloxéra détruit la vigne, qui eût une période de gloire à Collonges du XIIe au XIXe siècle.
Son vin blanc était réputé avec un raisin de qualité : muscat, bacot, gamay, herbemont. Disparait avec la vigne, le métier de vigneron…
Au XIXe siècle, la cité tombe en léthargie et des maisons commencent à tomber en ruine. Au XXe siècle, l’exode rural entraîne la perte d’une grande partie de la population.
La « renaissance » de la cité débute en 1905 avec le classement de l’église aux Monuments Historiques. Les premiers travaux de restauration commencent dans les années 30, grâce notamment au maire Charles Ceyrac et à la Société des Amis de Collonges.
La particularité de Collonges vous l’aurez compris est son grès rouge…
Une situation originale qui fait le charme de ce village construit en totalité grès rouge sur un sol calcaire.
Collonges-la-Rouge situé sur la Faille Géologique de Meyssac, longue d’une dizaine de kilomètres, qui sépare le grès du calcaire.
Seuls quelques villages sont construits avec cette pierre : Meyssac, Lagleygeolle et Noailhac.
Profitez de votre escapade à Collonges pour arpenter les ruelles des autres petits villages aux nuances de grès rouge.
Un parcours d’une vingtaine de kilomètres (en voiture) vous dévoilera les mystères de cette faille avec 5 stations explicatives…
Ce circuit est disponible à l’Office de Tourisme de Collonges-la-Rouge.
Mais qu’y a-t-il dans ce grès qui donne cette couleur rouge ?
Vous pensez peut être que les Collongeois repeignent chaque année les pierres ? Non, non, sa couleur est due à la présence d’oxyde de fer.
Un peu plus de 2% d’oxyde de fer dans le grès donne cette couleur si atypique et originale, vous le verrez partout sous les toits de lauze ou d’ardoise des maisons nobles.

COLLONGES-LA-ROUGE
-------------------------------------
Since Gallo-Roman times
During the Gallo-Roman period, the site was inhabited, from 844 it was part of the Vicomté de Turenne (which has a statute of autonomy, especially fiscal, unique in France). True feudal state which has become one of the largest strongholds in France. From the Middle Ages to the 18th century, the Viscount of Turenne enjoyed complete autonomy.
1738, the last heir sells the Vicomté de Turenne to Louis XV in order to pay off his gambling debts. This sale marks the end of privileges.
From the 11th century, the village developed around the Priory, the tympanum and the bell tower of the church are the Roman remains.
At the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, Collonges became the place of residence of the officers of justice, administration and other senior officials of the Vicomté de Turenne. From there come many castels, manors and their pepper-pot towers, which adorn the village and contribute to the architectural richness of Collonges.
In 1880, phylloxera destroyed the vine, which had a period of glory in Collonges from the 12th to the 19th century.
Its white wine was renowned with quality grapes: muscat, bacot, gamay, herbemont. With the vine, the profession of winegrower disappears ...
In the 19th century, the city fell into lethargy and houses began to fall into disrepair. In the 20th century, the rural exodus led to the loss of a large part of the population.
The "rebirth" of the city began in 1905 with the classification of the church as a Historic Monument. The first restoration work began in the 1930s, thanks in particular to the mayor Charles Ceyrac and the Société des Amis de Collonges.
The peculiarity of Collonges you will understand is its red sandstone ...
An original location which makes the charm of this village built entirely in red sandstone on limestone soil.
Collonges-la-Rouge located on the Geological Fault of Meyssac, about ten kilometers long, which separates the sandstone from the limestone.
Only a few villages are built with this stone: Meyssac, Lagleygeolle and Noailhac.
Take advantage of your getaway to Collonges to walk the alleys of other small villages with shades of red sandstone.
A course of around twenty kilometers (by car) will reveal the mysteries of this fault with 5 explanatory stations ...
This tour is available at the Collonges-la-Rouge Tourist Office.
But what is it in this sandstone that gives this red color?
You may think that the people of Collonge repaint the stones every year? No, no, its color is due to the presence of iron oxide.
A little more than 2% iron oxide in the sandstone gives this atypical and original color, you will see it everywhere under the lauze or slate roofs of noble houses.

We rescued it from the deep shadow of a south garden wall. It was cold and lethargic from a lack of sugar. A little sugar water from a spoon in the kitchen revived it. It is way too early and probably won’t survive the month.
The volcano Licancabur has guarded the lagoon since ancient times. It is not tourists who wander around here who will wake up from this lethargy, but attention this giant is just asleep!
We stopped the jeep at the top, and suddenly we all gasped. It's huge! We went out, straightening the coats. This is the third day of the tour!
When we arrived at Laguna Verde we knew that the journey through the salt deserts and lagoons of the Bolivian altiplano was ending. We knew that within a few kilometers we would be crossing the border into Chile. On the other side we would expect one of the driest deserts on the planet and its landscapes that look the most from any distant planet.

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. City where we are.
Cerro Toco is where we were when we took the picture.
Licancabur Volcano is on the left.
Juriques Volcano is on the right.
Juriques is a stratovolcano on the border between Bolivia and Chile. It is located immediately southeast of Licancabur volcano. Its summit is at 5,704 m (18,714 ft) with a crater 1.5 km (0.93 mi) in its longest diameter. Laguna Verde lies at the foot of this volcano.
Licancabur is a stratovolcano on the border between Bolivia and Chile, south of the Sairecabur volcano and west of Juriques. Part of the Andean Central Volcanic Zone, it has a prominent, 5,916-meter (19,409 ft) -high cone. A 400-meter (1,300 ft) summit crater containing Licancabur Lake, a crater lake which is among the highest lakes in the world, caps the volcano.
San Pedro de Atacama is a Chilean town and commune in El Loa Province, Antofagasta Region. It is located east of Antofagasta, some 106 km (60 mi) southeast of Calama and the Chuquicamata copper mine, overlooking the Licancabur volcano.
The town lies at an average of 7,000 feet (2,100 m), and visitors often experience mild altitude sickness such as dizziness, lethargy and headaches.
Sleeping in a shell hidden away
Catching a sun ray climpse of a day
Return of the blackest nightmare
Falling down to a lethargy
Falling in reverse fading away
Just rose from abyss now losing day
Return of the blackest nightmare
Falling down to a lethargy
Crawling back to the dark awaits
Back in a hide wasting away

Despite it being a warm morning and despite the diamondback watersnake's reputation for aggression, this individual appeared quite lethargic, not even testing the air with its tongue, until it tired of the paparazzo and made a mad dash across the mudflat into the water of Horsepen Bayou.
There are still a few stray butterflies. I don't know whether a slight rise in temperature has awakened it from its lethargy or whether it took a while to emerge.
Aún queda alguna mariposa despistada. No sé si con una pequeña elevación de la temperatura se ha despertado del letargo o tardó en emerger.

Otter Rock State Beach

Oregon
This beautiful beach was deserted by both animals and people in late August. But by the end of October, California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) appear on Oregon beaches in varying states of health and disease. Many have been affected by Leptospirosis, a contagious bacterial infection of the kidneys. This disease causes animals to appear very lethargic and unable or unwilling to move their hind limbs, and is often accompanied by weight loss and pneumonia. Infected animals may recover from this disease if given plenty of opportunity to rest,
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Found it at its roosting spot. The bird was still lethargic, so it spent quite a bit of time on a tall pole preening, yawning and stretching. Finally it flew away to a far off tree away from the prying photographer!
Many thanks in advance for the views, faves and feedback.

#MacroMonday
#Safety
I wonder if James would approve of this? This is a look inside of a small TSA 007 safety lock which I use on my – at the moment unemployed – camera backpack. I think James should approve if the number is 007, although I read somewhere that these locks are easy to pick. Well, I don't care, the only thing this lock is supposed to do is to prevent pickpockets from emptying the camera compartment of my backpack while I'm in a crowd :)
My MM experience at the moment is like picking the petals off a daisy, saying "Will I take part", "Will I skip", "Will I take part", "Will I skip"... and so on ;) I seem to be in a lockdown lethargy, but my inspiration is slowly coming back. Or is it? Well, I certainly hope so :)
The keyhole of this safety lock is 4 mm / 0,157 inches high. I used the 10mm Kenko extension tube and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens attached to my macro lens to get nicely close, but not too close. The image is a manual focus stack made of only two images, because it was impossible to get those two metal components (there are more inside) equally sharp in a single shot. Processed in DXO PhotoLab, Analog Efex (the vignette), Color Efex (Graduated Neutral Density Filter) and Luminar AI (details on the metal parts inside of the lock).
Happy Macro Monday, stay safe and happy, everyone :)
Formerly a UK breeding bird but more regularly seen in Europe they tend to turn up in this country on migration if we get an easterly wind at the right moment.
We got those conditions in early September this year resulting in only the third I’ve seen in Northumberland while I was on Holy Island (Lindisfarne).
This stunningly tame individual was hopping around on the path looking for insects. It looked a bit lethargic for a while but after about an hour had perked up enough to fly off.
A member of the Woodpecker family, not much bigger than a Sparrow, but behaves totally differently to other Woodpeckers, not climbing up and down on trees searching for food.
Monday morning got off to a bad start at work when we got a call in the office about a bald eagle sitting in the road ditch next to Chipera Prairie. Luckily, I got the easy job of photographing the capture while one of my brave co-workers had the tough task of tackling those sharp talons and beak. It is now in the hands of some talented raptor rehabilitators here in Iowa. This bird did not appear to have any physical injuries such as a broken wing or leg, but instead acted lethargic. That is typical behavior for eagles that have lead poisoning. Unfortunately, this is just one of several bald eagles that we have rescued here in Winneshiek County this year that were suffering from lead poisoning. It is very difficult for these birds to survive when that lead toxin gets into their system. Hundreds of eagles and hawks die from lead poisoning here in Midwest every year because the sporting goods industry is too stubborn to switch to non-toxic ammunition for hunters and non-toxic fishing tackle for anglers. Call your representatives in Congress and tell them it is time for a change.
I don't know what Linus did last night but he is unusually lethargic today. Not like a cat who is sick, rather like a cat with a hangover. The return of the summery hot weather probably plays a role too. Even THE BIRDS are quite safe at the moment. He sees them, he follows them with the eyes but he doesn't move much. I think he hopes that sooner or later one will drop dead with a heatstroke and land right in front of his paws.
It's dark and rainy, mum says she is too tired to play, Fynn and Cleo are generally lethargic and the bird activity is close to zero. What a boring day ! The next super exciting event is going to be dinner !
Back in the Lake District, where the weather is hot and dry, like it has been in this country and much of Europe for many weeks.
Although the south western fells got a drenching from the clouds on the horizon, they missed the eastern half of the region.
The cows seem to be coping ok so far but were a bit lethargic luckily as I had to pass right by them to get through the gate.
How now brown cow is a phrase used in elocution teaching to demonstrate rounded vowel sounds.

Happy new year. I’m up and recovering from what turned out to be a nasty bout of flu just after Christmas. I was out flat for a good three days, and this is after having protection of the Flu jab in October, so it could have been worse. I only started getting up on new years day in time to say goodbye to my daughter et al. It was nice listening to Jesse play as lay on my sick bed, but not the same. Did the dogs miss me, nah, they enjoyed their cushy walks, but this morning was back to a longer a walk, but very slow, I probably suffered more than the dogs. Ok Oscar and Toby and getting on but played the same trick for the last two years, as soon as I put top coats on them it seems to stiffen their bodies and the their stride reduces from a skip to a rolling sway. I’m nowhere near feeling I’m ready to go out with the camera but I’m damed if I let this lethargy go on to long as that’s a dangerous think to do at my age.
A small mountain village lives its winter lethargy; few signs of life a smoking chimney and a few open windows....
Who knows what it's like to live a whole winter in this natural isolation.
Un petit village de montagne vit sa léthargie hivernale ; quelques signes de vie.... une cheminée fumante et quelques fenêtres ouvertes. Qui sait ce que c'est que de vivre tout un hiver dans cet isolement naturel.
Ponte Organasco, un piccolo borgo di montagna appenninica, posto sul confine tra Emilia e Lombardia segnato dal fiume Trebbia, vive il suo letargo invernale.
Pochi segni di vita, un comignolo fumante e qualche finestra aperta. Mi affascina e incuriosisce il sapore di questa solitudine circondata dalla natura.

I wonder if the fly that is almost in his mouth was trying to benefit from the stag’s warm breath on this cold late October day when the deer were rutting.
The saying “No Flies On Him” is very old and is meant as a compliment, meaning, wise, quick witted, clever and not easily fooled.
It is said to originate from Australia in the early 19th century. The expression derives from the often - observed phenomenon of flies being attracted to lethargic, stationary and sickly animals - but not to alert, active and healthy ones.
I thought the title to be quite apt for this photograph, which shows a stag in his prime “roaring” at a rival that was only a few metres away.
I took this photo with a long lens and it has also been cropped to give a close affect. I was stationed at a safe distance and not affecting the deer’s behaviour in any way. The stag was directing his aggression to his rival nearby. Never approach the deer - especially at rutting time, as they can be dangerous.
Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.
My friends I'm a little lethargic about Flickr as present so here is an archive shot from magical Firenze, where on the beautiful River Arno, the Florentines have some of the best reflections in the world. This didn't turn out too badly for a hand-held evening shot!

In the month of July, the reeds (Echinospartum horridum) are in full bloom, turning the Pyrenees and the Pre-Pyrenees yellow.
The storms of these days have paralysed the activity of the butterflies, so if you get up early and with a bit of luck you can take pictures of these insects which are somewhat lethargic.

View of a barn through the remains of a burnt-out barn window in eastern Washington, along highway 260 in Franklin County, if I remember correctly.
When I stepped out of the car to shoot these barns, I jumped-back as an angry rattlesnake shook its rattle at me from about 3 feet away as he slid into a bush. After shooting the scene, I climbed in the other side of the car and drove about 20 miles down the road and found another scene. When I got out, I looked back and could not believe my eyes to see another rattlesnake, right where I had stepped out. I had stepped right over this one, who was smaller and for some reason very lethargic.
I’ve only come across three rattlesnakes in my 58 years, and two were very close encounters on the same day!
This place had a lot of character. There a small graveyard about 50 feet to my left.
For several days, temperatures have been hovering around zero deg Fahrenheit. Suet is hard as wood and birds are lethargic. Nevertheless, this downy woodpecker seems to be so far in good shape.
Even though it looks fearsome, this praying mantis was very lethargic and eventually unresponsive to touch. I think it died attached to the fence. The somber lighting seemed appropriate.
Poplar plantation at Raby, Wirral.
A week of grey skies coupled with general lethargy had me after something different. Heavily cropped but in my defence the full image is of a sorry looking recently ploughed field with a couple of equally sorry looking horses stood in it!
Just poking around in the yard yesterday and saw this bee... seriously I think it was drugged by the nectar as it was very lethargic acting. Or maybe it was just too hot!
Found it at its roosting spot. The bird was still lethargic, so it spent quite a bit of time on a tall pole preening, yawning and stretching. Finally it flew away to a far off tree away from the prying photographer!
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
Britney doesn't want to move.
With this high temperature and 84% humidity level all of us are absolutely lethargic.
Happy Fresh Caturday

says Fynn ! Not really, says the human, but the sudden temperatures above 20C are too much for the cats who are still wearing their winter coat. Fynn spent the afternoon behind the house in the shade, in a spot from where he can see the neighbour's rabbits who have been quite lethargic today too.
I was thrilled to find an unfamiliar flowering plant in Banff during a 2016 camping trip there. The morning dew was still on its petals, and there was not the slightest breeze to create unwanted blur. Later, I identified it as a Mistassini Primrose. The most widely distributed wild primrose in North America, according to Wikipedia it "is considered rare or imperiled in many parts of its range. Its rarity is often related to its restrictive habit requirements, particularly toward the southern extent of its range. Habitats for this plant include damp cliffs, marshes, bogs, and the shores of lakes and rivers."
I found it in a wetland near the shore of Upper Waterfowl Lake. A fun and productive morning with my photo buddy Chris. We used to shoot together often when I lived on the west coast, so it was great to meet in the Rockies and find ways to dodge the tourist hordes. Getting up before dawn always works, as tourists are generally lethargic until 9 a.m.
I came away from that morning with the big three: landscape, wildlife, and macro shots. I posted the landscape yesterday. Tomorrow, the wildlife shot...
