Hello my amazing friends !
Looks like Major Tom has some major problems. His red space ship crushed on some sandy and hostile planet… with tiny people. Will he be able to survive ? What are the odds of Major Tom being assimilated ? Will he be happy living in a strange world with tiny humanoid creatures ? So many questions, so little time…Don’t give up, Major Tom, it is Friday after all and at least the temperature is hot where you are… not like us in Montreal with - 29 Celsius (and very windy) today !
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!!

My attempt at the "Flickr Friday" theme "Second".
A 'second' is a musical interval, and for me personally a pretty important one.

An eye-catching black, white and red garden visitor… Both a male and female Great Spotted Woodpecker flew into the garden today to feed on suet. Fortunately, they arrived at different times otherwise there would have been a scrap!
This is the female which has an all-black nape.
The headland closes on the north the gulf of Naples. The harbour and the lake was the major base of the Roman imperial fleet.
" TIME TO GET OUT AND ABOUT MY FRIENDS !"
========================
SEE at Stodmarsh, Kent, in the Elder Wood, this Female was acting very brave, it was a pure joy to see on my first trip to a nature reserve with a camera.. Did not see a lot, but the bird song was amazing, and being back with nature, was heavenly , I will never take nature for granted, and this has taught me to appreciate it far more, and to thank God for every new day on this planet.
========================
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, it means so much, in these difficult times. Please stay safe and well, enjoy the new week, Gods blessings go with you..................................Tomx.

Als ich mir diese Aufnahme anschaute, kam mir sofort dieser Song in den Sinn. Völlig schwerelos schwebt hier das Wiesel über das von Raureif bedeckte Gras und dies während des Sonnenaufganges !!
Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, occasionally corrupted as bobbed wire or bob wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).
Michael Kelly Invented the First Barbed Wire Fencing
The first wire fences (before the invention of the barb) consisted of only one strand of wire, which was constantly broken by the weight of cattle pressing against it.
Michael Kelly made a significant improvement to wire fencing, he twisted two wires together to form a cable for barbs - the first of its kind. Known as the "thorny fence," Michael Kelly's double-strand design made fences stronger, and the painful barbs made cattle keep their distance.
Joseph Glidden Was Considered the King of the Barb.
Joseph Glidden's design made barbed wire more effective, he invented a method for locking the barbs in place, and invented the machinery to mass-produce the wire.
Living patterns of the nomadic Native Americans were radically altered. Further squeezed from lands they had always used, they began calling barbed wire "the Devil's rope."
After its invention, barbed wire was widely used during wars, to protect people and property from unwanted intrusion. Military usage of barbed wire formally dates to 1888, when British military manuals first encouraged its use.
During the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders chose to defend their camps with the help of barbed fencing. In turn-of-the-century South Africa, five-strand fences were linked to blockhouses sheltering British troops from the encroachment of Boer commandos. During World War I, barbed wire was used as a military weapon.
Even now, barbed wire is widely used to protect and safeguard military installation, to establish territorial boundaries, and for prisoner confinement.
I found this barbed wire along with the male Blue Dasher Dragonfly perched on it, at a Polk County park along Lake Kissimmee. Polk County, Florida.

The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) is one of the commonest European woodpeckers, especially in Central Europe. It lives in deciduous and coniferous woods as well as parks and gardens with old trees, where it excavates nest holes. Its black, white and red plumage and rapid drumming on trunks for territory and mate attraction are very characteristic. In Central Europe it is a year round resident that feeds mainly on wood living insects and their larvae, but in winter also on seeds, nuts, berries and food from garden feeders, and a pair usually raises four to seven chicks in a tree cavity that fledge after about three weeks.

Le grand bombyle (Bombylius major) est une espèce d'insectes diptères,de la famille des Bombyliidae, ressemblant à une abeille ou à un petit bourdon. L'adulte de longueur variable (8 à 12 mm), est trapu et très velu (semble couvert d'une fourrure), chez les individus les plus grands, l'envergure des ailes lors du vol peut atteindre 25 mm1. Il a des taches sombres sur la partie antérieure de la moitié des ailes et de longues pattes velues qui pendillent en vol.
Ces mouches volent remarquablement bien et cette aptitude avait conduit à les classer à tort dans la famille des Syrphidae.
Le bombyle, totalement inoffensif, utilise sa très longue trompe proéminente pour se nourrir du nectar de nombreuses espèces de fleurs printanières, en particulier des primevères sauvages et des jardins. En butinant, il continue de battre des ailes.
Comme beaucoup de syrphes, il effectue souvent des vols stationnaires à la manière des colibris en émettant un léger vrombissement.
La femelle du grand bombyle pond ses œufs en volant à proximité des entrées des galeries souterraines des nids de certaines abeilles sauvages et guêpes. Après éclosion, les larves se dirigent dans le nid de leurs hôtes pour se nourrir de leurs larves.
