„There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones.
(Dire Straits/Brothers in arms)
Europe, the Netherlands, Noord Brabant, Eindhoven, Office building, Glass, Multiple reflections (slightly cut from all sides).
Inside an office building near Eindhoven station of which I alas didn't record the name. The friendly security staff allowed us to enter and take some shots.
This is number 283 of the Zwart/Wit album and 1041 of Minimalism / explicit graphism .
I watched for almost an hour as this Green Heron repeatedly sent clouds of gulf menhaden into the air on Horsepen Bayou, each time diverting one down the gullet. This was one of the smaller explosions, but visually pleasing to my eye. I have no idea where he stuffed them all. Number two in the "Birds Eating Menhaden" series.
This image is in total contrast to our weather at the moment, as you can see on that day it was a howling gale but at the moment with high pressure in charge all is still and peaceful and 9c. There are so many different waves here all leaving there lovely trade make white lines behind as they retreat back into the maelstrom of the English Channel. This is at Ferring in West Sussex. Back from our night in Arundle where I shot a large number of images including a nice sunrise this morning.

Ils seront bientôt de retour normalement en novembre. Une autre des multiples photos de ce beau Plectrophane des neiges qui m'a tant gâté au printemps 2020 lors de sa migration vers le nord. Photo inhabituelle perché dans une épinette sur le bord du lac Gagnon chez moi. Il n'était pas blessé et avait quitté le lendemain.

They will be back soon normally by the end of November. Another of the many picture of this beautiful Snow Bunting which as spoiled me so much in spring of 2020 during its migration back north. Unusual picture of a Snow Bunting perched in a spruce tree on the shore of Lac Gagnon at my place. He was not injured and was gone the next day
... all of them leading to the weekend - TGIF!

Chicago & North Western AC4400CW No. 8809 leads a 96-car MDVRO 01 manifest freight through the "wiggle", a set of reverse curves between Kyune and Colton, Utah the afternoon of Oct. 2, 1999. A three-unit helper with Rio Grande tunnel motors is visible near the third curve.
While visiting The Tower of London this past October, we were blessed with a weather forecast that predicted a day of rain, yet it stayed dry. We were blessed that the crown jewels used in the funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth II had just been cleaned and placed back for display for our viewing the day before. We were blessed by the crowds that stayed away due to the off season and weather forecast. We were blessed with another day above ground and adventure. Everyone there that day received all of the above, maybe without notice.
I had an additional blessing of this fellow, a Magpie. My first, second and third encounter with this beautiful bird, especially in flight, came in the American west. I tried to get a good photo several times on those trips, to no avail. This fellow, scavenging the grounds of The Tower of London was use to the hoards of people who were required to stay on the pavement, providing it sanctuary in the grassy areas.
While others were posing with Beefeaters and photographing the amazing architecture and historic artifacts, I was stalking this guy. I have always known that God wired me differently, sometimes it shows.
These lovely roses were taken in our garden this summer 2024.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Rose thorns are actually prickles - outgrowths of the epidermis. While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.
