Ophrys bertolonii (Orchidaceae) 120 23
This often abundant Ophrys although primarily an Italian orchid, may also be found around the Adriatic coasts of the former Yugoslavia, southern France (rarely) and on the island of Corfu
It is a robust plant, no more than 30 cm high, with oblong-lanceolate basal leaves, arranged in a rosette, while the cauline leaves are smaller and wrap around the stem.
The inflorescence is lax, with 2-8 rather large flowers. The latter consist of 3 conspicuous ovate-lanceolate sepals, usually pinkish (rarely whitish or greenish), and 2 large petals, two-thirds as long as the sepals, linear to oblong, with straight edges, and a more intense pinkish-purple colour.
The labellum is entire (sometimes trilobed), blackish, covered with dense hairiness on the small revolute margins and with a greenish-yellow apical appendage. The macula is well marked (shiny) and blue to dark red in color.
This little flat-faced longhorn beetle is a cool-looking character. They are nocturnal by nature so it was neat to find one out during the day. This species is not host-specific and it lays eggs on several different kinds of trees, including basswood and ironwood, and larvae feed on wood tissue inside the trees. Unfortunately, Astylopsis macula has been found to carry around spores from the butternut canker fungus, leading to the demise of one of our favorite woodland trees here in the Driftless Region.
Bright direct sunlight can be bad for your eyes.
Light is essential for our visual perception, as it allows our eyes to bring the world into focus. It enters our eyes and undergoes refraction and focusing, ultimately reaching the macula on the retina. The light is then converted into electrical signals that travel through the optic nerves to the brain. However, prolonged exposure to UVA and UVB light can cause significant damage to our eyes. Unfortunately, the primary source of these harmful rays, the sun, is both ubiquitous and challenging to avoid.
Another very early morning shot. It was on the rocks of the dam at Peace Valley Park, New Britain Pa.
Pie muy particular, largo, radicante, fusiforme y aplastado pero fibroso y elástico. Aguanta la torsión sin romperse, Sombrero marrón rojizo con zonas más claras o máculas oscuras. Láminas al principio blanquecinas y después color carne, como el pie, aunque éste oscurece en la parte inferior y la punta ennegrece. Láminas escotadas Very particular, long foot, radicante, fusiforme and squashed but fibrous and elastic. It bears the twist without breaking, brown reddish Hat with clearer zones or dark stains. Sheets initially whitish and later color meat, as the foot, though this one gets dark in the low part and the top blackens. With plunging neckline sheets

The drought has wreaked havoc on usually wet The Netherlands. The rivers are at a low never experienced before. Here's the IJssel River so dry that plans are being made to reduce shipping traffic to one-way. In fact, I wanted to take the foot ferry across from Gorssel to hike down to Deventer on the left bank. But the ferry has been discontinued until rain upriver. So I stuck to these banks. Near Epse I saw lots of Redshank, Persicaria maculosa, in places covered by water in wetter times; the parched ground apparently still moist enough for this damp-loving plant. And the tiny pink flowers attracted pretty European Paper Wasps, Polistes dominula.
En un principio lo daba por lusus pero el dibujo de la macula me confunde... Si alguien quiere aportar algo bienvenido será...
At first I thought it was lusus but the drawing of the macula confuses me... If someone wants to contribute something, they are welcome...
Each day while in the Codroy we would visit the beach in the hopes of seeing young Piping Plovers. This Sandpiper could be heard more often than seen A large crop
The spotted sandpiper is a small shorebird, 18–20 cm long. The genus name Actitis is from Ancient Greek aktites, "coast-dweller", derived from akte, "coast", and macularius is Latin from macula, "spot". Wikipedia
Wild Geranium flowers fill my flower garden each year. I've never intentionally planted them. However, the geranium ensures that it can spread the wealth. After blooming, fruit capsules are produced 3-5 weeks later. Each consists of a long, central beak-like column (resembling a crane’s head) and five basal cells, each containing one seed. The carpels of the fruit curl upward and backward to spring open when ripe, expelling the seeds 10-30 feet from the mother plant.

The spotted sandpiper is a small shorebird, 18–20 cm long. The genus name Actitis is from Ancient Greek aktites, "coast-dweller", derived from akte, "coast", and macularius is Latin from macula, "spot". Together with its sister species the common sandpiper, it makes up the genus Actitis. Wikipedia

Gardenista - Commonly called dead nettles because their leaves resemble stinging nettles with no ability to sting, this near-evergreen plant (in mild climates) is a low creeper; some cultivars become randomly mounded. As members of the mint family, these plants have square stems, toothy-edged leaves, and a spreading habit. They spread quickly.

As you may have noticed, I rarely have a problem sharing things that are on my mind with you. But today I'm going a lot further.
Today I give you an insight of a completely different kind. For once, this is not a photo that I took myself. That would have been extremely difficult, even with my technique.
My ophthalmologist took this photo of my eye as part of a check-up earlier this week (I think this is the left one).
For those who are interested, here is a brief introduction to the structure of my eye.
The veins and arteries are easy to identify, I think. The bright spot in the middle is my optic nerve, the connection from my eye to my brain. My macula, i.e. the point with which I see the sharpest (for all photographers - the sweet spot) is the slightly darker area to the right of it.
Except that the optic nerve is a bit enlarged (I probably look too much because I'm so curious) everything is as it should be.
Wie Ihr vielleicht schon bemerkt habt, habe ich selten ein Problem damit, Dinge mit Euch zu teilen, die in mir vorgehen. Doch heute gehe ich noch ein ganzes Stück weiter.
Heute gewähre ich Euch einen Einblick der ganz anderen Art. Dies ist ausnahmsweise einmal kein Foto, welches ich selbst gemacht habe. Das wäre auch mit meiner Technik auch extrem schwierig gewesen.
Dieses Foto hat mein Augenarzt im Rahmen einer Vorsorgeuntersuchung am Anfang der Woche von meinem Auge gemacht (ich glaube dies hier ist das linke).
Für alle die es interessiert, hier eine kleine Einführung in den Aufbau meines Auges.
Die Venen und Arterien sind, denke ich, leicht zu identifizieren. Der helle Fleck in der Mitte, ist mein Sehnerv, also die Verbindung von meinem Auge zu meinem Gehirn. Meine Makula, also der Punkt mit dem ich am schärfsten sehe (für alle Fotografen - der sweet spot) ist der etwas dunklere Bereich rechts davon.
Außer, dass der Sehnerv etwas vergrößert ist (ich kuck wahrscheinlich zu viel, weil ich so neugierig bin) ist übrigens alles so, wie es sein muss.

Early Purple Orchid / orchis mascula. Cloud Wood, Leicestershire. 25/04/20.
'SHOCKING ... PINK.'
The tallest Early Purple Orchid I managed to find and photograph on a visit to Cloud Wood. It stood over 30cms high and had the cone-shaped flower cluster so typical of the species ... and what a shocking pink colour the flowers were! As it had passed it’s prime, I made my image showing just the topmost section where the flowers were at their best. (Further down the stem, flowers were either completely shrivelled and dry looking or bearing brown edges and blotches.)
Voici l'autre petit-duc maculé de forme grise.
Here is the other gray-faced owl.

Polyommatus es un género de mariposas diurnas de la familia Lycaenidae.
Son de tamaño pequeño unos 17 mm de envergadura.
Diferenciar las diferentes especies me resulta bastante dificil. Hay que fijarse por ejemplo en si las fimbrias son ajedreadas o no, tambien en la disposición de las máculas...
En este caso creo que es bellargus, pero si alguien mas fiable me corrige bienvenida la informacion.
Polyommatus is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
They are small in size about 17 mm wingspan.
Differentiating the different species is quite difficult for me. You have to pay attention, for example, to whether the fimbriae are cheesy or not, also to the arrangement of the macules...
In this case I think it is bellargus, but if someone more reliable corrects me, I welcome the information.
Do you love wondrous stories?
the unimaginable
and the unthinkable
coming together in unlikely fashion
for the dream becomes actual
feeling the earth move
from planes landing in gardens
rains that know zero-gravity
yet fall with paralysing force
a soluble world swallowing our entity
clipping light-hungry Sumacs
outgrown the strangling Summer
and the Sun-starved desert-hued grass
what fell from the sky that day?
a mission striking an electoral impasse
lights in windows from memory's switch
on with the dream
and off with the heads
of those that dwell too long
for nothing is spared where unreality treads
claustrophobic torrents from cumulus scarves
raindrops two to a ton
fall like pearls, chained to my feet
macula traces the way now blocked
from this dream I beg for retreat
to my East the populated vibrancy
the West is the hope of familiar ground
darkness is afforded by the northern 'lights'
and the South I cannot reach
for reality bows to what the subconscience cites.

No fue ilusoria, no, nuestra esperanza
cuando creímos, Rodríguez, que algún día,
de tu mano a la patria le vendría
la gloria, el honor y la alabanza.
De la paz augusta el símbolo sagrado,
la oliva y el laurel de la victoria,
tu prudencia y esfuerzo se han ganado.
Tu nombre en los anales de la historia
celebrado será; y en nuestros pechos
graba la gratitud tus nobles hechos.
.........A don Martín Rodríguez(fragmentos)/ Juan Cruz Varela
*Precioso edificio en la entrada de la ciudad, vestido de comunión, de blanco nítido, ambicioso de luz, que recién peinado saliera a pasar revista bajo un azul uniforme.
Anticipé lo que pudiera sobrevenir, no le faltan ojos a la casa, podía contar que mi mirada sería vista igualmente desde cualquiera de sus múltiples ocelos.
Me tomé el tiempo suficiente, no quería perderla, la repetí por seguridad, me volví para comprobar su toma sin reflejos y, cuando daba la empresa por concluida, saliendo de no sé dónde, escucho a mi espalda un suave ¡Buenos Días!
Al girarme, un sargento de la GC uniformado, de guardia…buenos días respondo.
Le hemos visto hacer las fotos y quería preguntarle si me permite verlas, ¿están de turismo?
Asentí, aunque nuestro porte dejaba pocas dudas a la imaginación, entendí su interés. Le comento que encuentro el edificio precioso, de ese blanco vestido, como la puerta de Granada de la ciudad que he fotografiado antes que esta, mire…ah, contesta, si, ya veo, y le han salido muy bien, pues disculpen las preguntas, que tengan un buen día en Santa Fe y muchas gracias.
“Las que Ud. tiene, majo” estuve a punto de contestar…para inmediatamente decidirme por un formal “Gracias a usted”, que tenga también buen turno. Con un gesto de mutua complacencia, nos despedimos.
Se marchó atravesando la calle como llegó, parecía que no pisaba el suelo, encarnando la presencia de una esencia ideal, como de ángel custodio desde su nube.
Impecable encuentro, sentí que el día pleno de luz, tomaba cuerpo, al menos en el propio.
