Pic à front jaune / Yellow-fronted Woodpecker / Melanerpes flavifrons
Pic de taille moyenne multicolore et grégaire. Remarquez les ailes, la queue et le masque noirs, le front et les yeux jaunes, le croupion blanc et le ventre rouge bordé de barres sombres. Les mâles ont une couronne et un cou rouges, qui sont noirs chez les femelles. Trouvé dans les forêts humides, la seconde pousse et parfois les plantations. L'appel est un «kiki-kiki-kirikiki» bruyant.

Males have a red crown and neck, which is black in females. Found in moist forests, second growth and sometimes plantations. The call is a loud “kiki-kiki-kirikiki”.

A huge part of styling is picking the right combination of cosmetics and accessory pieces for the perfect look. Fashion is a very popular art form, vehicle for self-expression, and creativity - especially when it comes to choosing your aesthetics.
The choices you therefore make in your jewelry selections play a vital role in expressing who you are and what pieces are most important to your fashion interests and statements.
This Heartsdale Jewelry’s [HJ] Mists of Avalon Necklace & Earrings Set is one splendid example. This elegant, gold-veined and black pendant set is a mystical and magical pairing which seamlessly complements the stunning biophilic beauty of this Le'La Hiral Outfit.
Adding to the glamorous vibe of this ensemble, I chose M&T Garage Giada Eyeshadow. It features eyeliner which is certainly beauty's shape shifter. Dark and smoldering with its winged look, this stunning makeup channels your mood into the exotics.
For my moist sexy looking lips, I selected YoUnique Cosmetics Monaco Glamour lipstick. I then chose Maktub Store’s Gina Eyes. These eyes give my look a beautifully ferocious extra edge.
All of these items noted above are sold exclusively at Swank Events for September. Explore your beauty potential and come celebrate Swank Events 7 Year Anniversary with us!

It really was though.

the eye doctor told me I have this thing called the "dry-eye-syndrome"
or whatever fancy name he called it.
These are Durango marigold seedlings that will soon go in a planter at the farm. I'll put them in a sunny spot, because they can tolerate hot and dry conditions. Above, they're perched on my deck railing for a 30-frame focus stack. They're wet from today's rain showers.
Deep in the moist woods - some fungus starts multiplying on a rotted tree. Part of the natural recycle process.

Shot this with no tripod.. I was lying face down.. camera rested on the concrete. I was hesitant to do it but my passion to get the right shot is greater and it won the dilemma.
It was the moisture from the wave splash that made these dreamy hexagonal bokehs.

On a very wet Friday morning myself and a few 1Z10 chums descended on Acton Bridge for a few hours photography. It was a busy period with several freights passing through but the stars of the show were the Pendos and the new Eviros passing through at high speed causing the collecting water on the catenary to fly off in a cloud of spray as the pantograph made contact with the wires.
This is 807003 racing towards the station with the 1F14 0843 Euston to Liverpool Lime Street.
It was a very dark and wet day which eventually took its toll on my camera which still hasn't fully dried out.
The dutch wetlands , the grienden II
In the Netherlands we have our own wetlands, looe a bit like a tropical swamp in the summer heat, while in spring time, one can enjoy the special shapes of the willow trees.
The grienden close to our home and in this serie are the Carnisse grienden.
The explanation below comes from: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griend_(beplanting)
A griend or ham is a moist field on which willow wood is grown. Friends were exploited on a large scale until around 1960, after which the demand for griendhout fell sharply so that many friends were no longer maintained. Sometimes they got the status of nature reserve. The reintroduction of the beaver in the Netherlands was an attempt to achieve a natural management of the friends.
Because of the possibility to grow biofuels, they have been in the spotlight again since 2010.
Location
Friends often lay along the sea inlets on the dikes outside the dykes and in the rivers of South Holland and Noord-Brabant, especially the Biesbosch. Due to land reclamation, most of them have now often been located within the dykes, with the exception of, for example, the Rhoonse Grienden. The plantations outside the dykes are subject to tidal movement of the water level. That is why these friends were often provided with a friendly hill; a small mound with a griendkeet on it. This was a simple place where the griend workers could spend the night; they often stayed with the griend all week. Simple houseboats were also used for the same purpose.
Cultivation
The trees were planted and regularly dropped about 25 cm above the ground. New branches grew from the stumps. An annually disposed griend was called cut friend, doubtful or doubtful. The thin twigs were especially suitable for making baskets. Friends who were harvested every five years were called 'heel friends'. The heavier branches were suitable for many purposes, from stems for tools to the braiding of zinc pieces.

This is the flat and relatively wide area of the pass, which, under the snow, hides the Pramollo lake/Stausee, which is a shallow artificial basin where the water, coming out of the soaked peat bog that characterizes the surrounding land, converges.
Peat is a deep and water-rich soil, with these characteristics it has helped the Spruce (Picea abies or Picea excelsea) to stay quite healthy despite the many dry and extremely hot summers (even at high altitudes).
Elsewhere this tree, a prevalent component of the Siberian taiga and widespread in the inner Alpine valleys, is suffering from parasites and lichens that attack this tree weakened by a soil that has become progressively poorer and too hot in summer.
A high percentage of this species has already died, especially in the sloping areas where water is scarcer, the land more exposed to the sun and generally to the wind that on October 29, 2018 (Vaia/Scirocco Storm) caused a domino effect of these weakened trees, especially between Carnia, Comelico and Cadore.

It is precisely on the slopes that the Spruce/red Fir/Norway Spruce would be most useful, as an anti-landslide, thanks to its ability to root widely and deeply, but the moist and fresh soil it needs is now only found in the valleys with marked thermal inversion or in these high mountain areas where the snow is still abundant and resilient, while peat, as mentioned, is very useful in this case.

To facilitate the arrival of Italian skiers, the Austrian resort helps clear the snow from the small, winding road, that leads to Nassfeld from Pontebba and with its snowcats spreads fresh snow on a cross-country ski run, which is also a pedestrian path, (despite the disagreements...), which makes an 8 in this area, all in Italian territory, and thanks to them, it must be said, this pass is almost always reachable, even in the middle of winter, effectively cleared after a snowstorm and easily walkable and skiable thanks to the compressed snow.
Moist certainly describes the weather conditions during this day's visit to the Batten Kill. It wasn't heavy per se, but it was enough to make things interesting.
