the name Cumelo is actually a combination of the words cucumber and melon, which describes exactly what it is. This fresh, slightly sweet tasting fruit has been grown for centuries in the Italian region of Puglia and has a water content of 90%. The genius thing about it is that it can be used as both a fruit and a vegetable, as its taste really combines both worlds. It is a summer fruit

I don’t know your name. You don’t have a name as such. But your friends and family know you and recognize you some other way that is outside of my perception. To me, you are the seagull that flew past me on a purple Friday afternoon at 4:40 p.m. You flew so gracefully with your wings almost touching the water.
To me, all seagulls are one Seagull, and I love you! Your calls are as salty and free as the ocean. During this morning’s rainstorm, I looked out my window and saw you soaring high up in the clouds … and I thought how strong you are! No wind or rain can stop you. And how smart and resourceful you are! You live all around the world and you can live in the most remote Arctic ice desert or within a bustling city in Morocco. You are amazing!
And you are beautiful! When I walk with Blanca on the beach and you fly over our heads, I smile a friendly hello to you. You are the voice and the face of the ocean.
Once I came upon you sitting in the sand and dying. I did not intrude upon your death but stood by as a witness. I saw how you used your folded wings to keep you upright when you were getting wobbly. I saw your head lean to one side. And you took a long last look around you. You looked at the beach, at the sea and at the sky. And then you died. I shed a tear for you and knelt down to gently stroke your white head. And I discovered with surprise how very soft and warm you are.
But that wasn’t you who flew past me on a purple Friday at 4:40 p.m. As long as there are oceans, there will be seagulls. And as long as there are seagulls, I know life goes on.
Be free and strong!

The name anemone comes from the Greek word for "windflower." According to Greek mythology, the anemone sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of Adonis.
Thought to bring luck and protect against evil, legend has it that when the anemone closes its petals, it's a signal that rain is approaching.
Still other mythology connects the anemone to magical fairies, who were believed to sleep under the petals after they closed at sunset. Perhaps it's because of this magical and prophetic tales that today in the language of flowers, anemones represent anticipation
-Teleflora
Hints:
-It's the national bird of both Pakistan and Iraq.
-It was originally brought to America, as a game bird, in 1893.
-This bird was seen, along with a couple siblings, sneaking through the brush in a rocky section of Horse Heaven Hills, Washington.
I would have had no idea what this was, except it was following its mother around.

Southsea began as a fashionable 19th-century Victorian seaside resort named Croxton Town, after a Mr Croxton who owned the land.
As the resort grew, it took the name of nearby Southsea Castle, a seafront fort constructed in 1544 for Henry VIII as part of the coastal defence.
We met up with Flickr Friends, Tim and Jane, to enjoy brunch and a walk past the fountains at the castle along to the prom (not forgetting tea and cake) in Southsea.
Thank you for all visits, faves and comments.
Happy weekend to come!

My name is unimportant, I am a scavenger and just flew to this berg they call Outlander Colony to refuel. Energy sources are scarce and I have to wait to be recharged. I hope it wont take long, My rations are running low. Been here one day and I will tell you what I know.
The IGG(Inter Galactic Government) has given up on this last colony before deep space.There are no more shipments of food or ammunition. Plenty of Prostitutes, gambling, drugs and alcohol. A few killers have been sent to this place as a form of rehabilitation.
The place is thick with the foul stench of garbage and sweaty bodies. The Air Purification system must be about shot too. The water here ran out a few weeks ago .
There has been low hums of conversations about hearing a voice crackling over the outdated speaker system. I heard it once and the voice was garbled but a word could be caught every now and again .
My hair prickled on the back of my neck as I realized what was happening here.
I have to go ... PPl are running into the shadows!
More later as I can!

A lot of the old commercial buildings of the early 1900’s carried a name either of the proprietor or the company that had it built. If your dentist had a suite in this building you would tell people that he was in the Watercott building and they would know where you meant without an address. Years ago a big shot lawyer came from Chicago to inquire about renting a suite in our local Lehman Building. The building manager showed him the place and he seemed well pleased. On the way in though he noticed that a couple of old shabby looking men were running a news stand on the sidewalk in front of the place. He told the building manager that those two would have to go however if he were to rent there. The building manager replied: “Sir, those two men own this place.” It was the Lehman brothers. They were a couple of eccentric millionaires whose family name was on the building. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

The name Cape Disappointment comes from British explorer John Meares, who named it in 1788 after he mistakenly thought the mouth of the Columbia River was a bay. The bar has sunk over 2,000 large ships and is often called the graveyard of the Pacific. The 53 foot tall lighthouse was constructed in 1856. It was electrified in 1927 and automated in 1937. Another house was built to enable the Coast Guard to monitor ship traffic. Life saving efforts begun in the 1870's by the light keepers led to the establishment of a Coast Guard base.
This tiny plant and its even smaller flowers are a real talisman of ancient woodland. Only a few millimetres across its individual flowers look like a town hall clock as its colloquial name suggests.
The name Ian means God Is Gracious and is of Scottish origin. Ian is a name that's been used primarily by parents who are considering baby names for boys. Celtic version of John. Pronounced "EE-an."

Commonly named the Red-veined Darter
Body length: 38m to 40mm (1.5 to 1.6 inches)
Order: Odonata,
Flight period mainly: Late April to Early November.
Sympetrum fonscolombii is a common, widespread species. A resident (and more common) in the Mediterranean regions of Europe. Can also be found in the more northern regions of Europe, as far north as Britain and Sweden and over towards Poland in the East. But in these countries here it becomes much scarcer and will be rarely seen. It is most common in North Africa, the Middle East, and into south-western Asia including the Indian Subcontinent.
Habitat: The Red-veined Darter can be found in a large range of habitats, although preferring warm still waters, these often being open and shallow. It can also be found in ponds, lakes, marshes, coastal lagoons and slow flowing rivers.
Males are notably territorial and will often be seen observing on a exposed perch.
After copulation a pair can often be seen flying in tandem, with the female dipping her abdomen into the water depositing her eggs. The eggs and larvae develop within a few months and S. fonscolombii unlike most other European dragonflies has more than one generation a year. Some larvae will overwinter.
This species is similar to other Sympetrum species, especially Crocothemis Erythraea; as both males being bright red in overall appearance, closer inspection will give a positive identification especially as that species has no black on its face and legs.
Females have an ochre yellow abdomen. Immature males can be mistaken for females but often have more red and a single line on each side of the abdomen.
The name Mìwàte means “dazzled by a light or fire” in Anishinaabe, the language of the Algonquin people. Light will be used to amplify the energy that comes from the water.
This is at Chaudière Falls in Ottawa. We went here on the the 20th of October and I have to say if you live in Ottawa you have to go see it.

But the name has some sinister history:-
The firework is named after Saint Catherine of Alexandria who, according to Christian tradition, was condemned to death by “breaking on the wheel”.
The breaking wheel or execution wheel, also known as the Catherine wheel or simply the Wheel, was a torture method used for public execution primarily in Europe from antiquity through the Middle Ages into the early modern period by breaking the bones of a criminal.
The primary goal of the first act was the agonizing mutilation of the body, not death.
The rest is pretty grizzly - but if you are interested - - -
Despite their name these orchids are not really flowering early this year. On a whole meadow full of them I found only this one plant that has already opened a few of its blossoms. It’s probably due to the cold and wet spring we’ve had.
By the way, according to the English Wikipedia the roots of these orchids were used by witches in love potions, and among its folk names are rather differing terms like “fool’s ballocks” and “Gethsemane” (apparently because “O. mascula grew below the cross of Christ, and the markings on the leaves are drops of Christ's blood”). I’m not entirely sure about the sources of all this, but I always enjoy reading about plants on Wikipedia 😂

Scientific name: "Panurus Biarmicus"
Meaning behind the name:
Panurus = exceedingly tailed (no doubt referring to their long tail)
Biarmicus = bearded, which refers to its moustached appearance / with two beard stripes. The same Latin name "Biarmicus" is also given to the Lanner Falcon due to its masked bearded appearanceon it's face.
The original English name was "Bearded titmouse" in 1776, and renamed "Bearded tit" in 1843.
A more appropriate name "Reedling" was used from the Middle English period, (of which my references doesn't give a year). The name "Reedling" speaks for itself as the species is so attached to living in Reed-beds.
