From last summer's archives:
At first I thought this was a Black and Red Blister Beetle, but I'm not so sure because of its hairy head. Perhaps one of you with more bug experience will be able to help ID. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and weekend!

Mein Name ist Aarany.....
My name is Aarany.....
I'm sad
you want to know my name ?
I wonder why
you will go home and maybe
remember me
but not for my name
but for the look in my eye
if you look you will see
a sadness that
overcomes me
each day is the same
come rain or shine
you all come and stare
point fingers at me
some shout
I hear you
but do you hear me ?
my name is Aarany.....
what does it mean . . .
what does it matter
as you walk away
you mutter Arary . . .

Sundown over the Sound of Pladda.
Dowhill, Dipple, Chapeldonan…On the road from Turnberry, heading south. No streets. Just names.

“I want to run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name…”

Scientific name: Onychoprion anaethetus
Trinomial name: Onychoprion anaethetus melanopterus
Ssp name: O. a. melanopterus
Common name: Bridled tern
Nombre: Charrán monja, Charrán embriado
Lugar de la captura: República Dominicana
As per Wikipedia:
The bridled tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) is a seabird of the family Laridae. It is a bird of the tropical oceans. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. The genus comes from onux meaning "claw" or "nail", and prion, meaning "saw". The specific anaethetus means "senseless, stupid".
This species breeds in colonies on rocky islands. It nests in a ground scrape or hole and lays one egg. It feeds by plunge-diving for fish in marine environments, but will also pick from the surface like the black tern and the gull-billed tern. It usually dives directly, and not from the "stepped-hover" favoured by the Arctic tern.
The well-named Yellow-throated Warbler shows off its bright yellow throat in the canopy of forests in the southeastern United States. It hops up branches, working its way high into the canopy probing for insects in crevices and clumps of pine needles, much like a Brown Creeper or Black-and-white Warbler. Unlike those birds, the Yellow-throated Warbler is gray above with a black triangle below its eye and a white eyebrow. It is also one of the few warblers that can be found during the winter in the U.S.
Many warblers migrate from South America to Canada each year, but Yellow-throated Warblers are almost homebodies by comparison. They nest farther south than most warblers, winter farther north, and are even year-round residents in parts of the southern U.S.
I found this one in my backyard. Polk County, Florida.
The name is kind of long, but it was worth researching. I love this plant. The actual flower is tiny, part of a cluster.

I just thought it about time to name and shame Ashala the destroyer of shoes. This is for the record and hopefully one day this will be a thing of the past...

It is a perennial shrub or tree, very popular in tropical landscaping, which has a woody, erect, branched and thorny stem.
The inflorescences are composed of red, orange-red, pinkish-red or yellow flowers, depending on the variety, all characterized by long stamens. Flowering occurs in spring and summer.
The fruits are of the vegetable type and appear in Autumn.
It should be grown in full sun or partial shade, but is tolerant of light cold, in subtropical or Mediterranean climates, becoming deciduous (loses its leaves in Winter). It is multiplied by seeds.
Some peoples use the plant as a medicinal plant, with anti-inflammatory properties, but care must be taken as it is a toxic plant, including abortifacient.
Scientific name: Alauda arvensis.
The skylark is a small brown bird, somewhat larger than a sparrow but smaller than a starling. It is streaky brown with a small crest, which can be raised when the bird is excited or alarmed, and a white-sided tail. The wings also have a white rear edge, visible in flight. It is renowned for its display flight, vertically up in the air. Its recent and dramatic population declines make it a Red List species. Info: RSPB.

Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles can also occur all over the plant – on the stem and on the flat parts of the leaves. These prickles are an adaptation that protects the plant from being eaten by herbivores. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape similar to a cup or urn subtends each of a thistle's flowerheads. The comparative amount of spininess varies dramatically by species. For example, Cirsium heterophyllum has minimal spininess while Cirsium spinosissimum is the opposite. Typically, species adapted to dry environments have greater spininess. The term thistle is sometimes taken to mean precisely those plants in the tribe Cardueae (synonym: Cynareae), especially the genera Carduus, Cirsium, and Onopordum. However, plants outside this tribe are sometimes called thistles, and when this is done, "thistles" would form a polyphyletic group. A thistle is the floral emblem of Scotland and Lorraine, as well as the emblem of the Encyclopædia Britannica. Biennial thistles are particularly noteworthy for their high wildlife value, producing such things as copious floral resources for pollinators, nourishing seeds for birds like the goldfinch, foliage for butterfly larvae, and down for the lining of birds' nests. 12710

Scientific name: Buteo buteo.
Feeding: Buzzards are big birds, more than capable of taking sizeable birds and animals but, more often than not, they will target smaller prey. Rabbits are an important food source, and the birds suffered during the height of myxomatosis, but they will also take smaller mammals. Compared to all other raptors, Buzzard’s digestive systems are able to deal with a poor-quality diet and, in winter when other prey is hard to find, they are able to feed mostly on earthworms, beetles and other small invertebrates. These will be hunted on foot, and you can find Buzzards regularly sitting on the ground. In favoured fields, large numbers can gather and, although somewhat tolerant of each other, disagreements will break out if individuals get too close to others. In certain areas, usually in the uplands, Buzzards may hover when searching for food. Info: Hawk and Owl Trust.

The appropriately named Steep Bank Creek originates in Oyster Creek more than 3 miles north as the Great Blue Heron flies, wends it way west, then east, passing by my subdivision 1 mile to the north where it drains Double Lake during heavy rains. It then flows on to Riverstone Wetlands where this photo was taken, then south for 4 more miles as that Heron flies where it joins the Brazos River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. That’s the optimistic scenario, of course. Speaking of that Great Blue Heron, here it is in Steep Bank Creek, Sugar Land, Texas.
I name this scene with the same name as Rodin's great artwork, not only because its shape but also the whole atmosphere, when everything is frozen, the waterfall drains the whole world inside, as the gates of hell.

Have we played this game before? I went back to my favorite abandoned car lot the other day and lo and behold something new has been moved in. It looks a bit like a Saab to me, but I am not that knowledgeable about cars. This car was a hideous lime green at one time, but was repainted white. It must have been done at an Earl Scheib Paint Shop, because it didn’t take.
Anyway, who will be the first to name the make? Extra bonus points are awarded for the year.
Inscribed on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague are the names of the ca.78,000 Czech Jews murdered by the Nazis.

John Hiatt - The River Knows Your Name
www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1rwwFTl2vM
Oh the river knows your name
And your tears falling like the rain
All around you suffering and pain
Oh the river knows your name
And the river hears you cry
As the lightning cracks the open sky
As your Momma sings a lullaby
Oh the river she knows why
Let the river wash you down
Beneath the surface with a rushing sound
Like a freight train passing through a town
Let the river wash you down
Let the river take away
All the words you and I could never say
In the silence Darling let us pray
Let the river take it all away
Oh the river she knows your name
From the Brazos to the Wabash to the Seine
No two journeys are ever quite the same
But the river knows your name
Oh the river knows your name
Dedicated to all those who feel forsaken and forgotten
