Cheryl observed that books on leadership and personal transformation are extremely popular here in Addis Ababa, as is evident from this street vendor's wares.
The American Kestrel couple has become one of our favorites to observe, for they display an almost human like relationship—very caring toward one another. In this particular instance, the female called out from the special birdhouse, and the male, which was initially perched on a branch above, had instantly taken flight and returned with a small snake within no more than a minute. We saw a similar display on one of our previous visits. After the male had provided the female with the meal, it circled the tree a number of times as it surveyed the immediate area. In one of the shots you can see it looking toward the camera. We make certain not to approach the tree too closely.
The late, Doris Duke, had left a wonderful legacy in converting her magnificent estate into a Natural Wildlife Preserve for the public’s education and enjoyment. The paths throughout the estate offer such splendid scenery. One is forever exploring, always seeing something subtly beautiful. There are always pleasant surprises, from the general scenery to the world of the wildlife, even tiny insects and flowers are enjoyable to observe. The bucolic nature of the preserve is so relaxing—akin to meditating while experiencing the landscape. The beauty of visiting Duke Farms is that so many incredible views are there simply by observing all of the surroundings.
I observed the aloe plant in its different forms and what makes the plant grow. I think my style was effective because the backgrounds are simple and let the subject shine. I had to make a simple background in my house and I used tri-fold boards and natural lighting from an upstairs window. I worked on balancing the lighting with the shallow depth of field. I ran into challenges with following the timeline and staying motivated. I just put my own time into editing before school in order to focus and get it done.

John Still in 1907 had observed that; "The whole face of the hill appears to have been a gigantic picture gallery... the largest picture in the world perhaps".
The paintings would have covered most of the western face of the rock, covering an area 140 meters long and 40 meters high. There are references in the graffiti to 500 ladies in these paintings. However, many more are lost forever, having been wiped out when the Palace once more became a Monastery so that they would not disturb meditation.
Classified as in the Anuradhapura period but the painting style technique used to paint is considered unique. The line and application style of the paintings differ from the Anuradhapura paintings. The lines are painted in a form which enhances the sense of volumeness of figures. The paint has been applied in sweeping action strokes using more pressure on one side giving the effect of a deeper colour tone towards the edge. Other paintings of the Anuradhapura period contains similar approaches to painting but they do not have the sketchy nature of the sigiriya lines as the painting of the Anuradhapura period has a distinct line which was the artists boundary which does not resemble that of the Sigiriya style.

5 Feb 2014. I, among others, was heartily sick of the snow by this point in the winter.
I walked around constantly muttering, "Observe the snow. It fornicates." www.straightdope.com/columns/read/263/what-are-the-nine-e...

Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world.
Skinny Geyser is a cone-type geyser in the Lower Group of Yellowstone's West Thumb Geyser Basin. It is located about 13 meters ~west of the southermost end of nearby Black Pool. The small, ~half meter-sized cone is covered with irregularly nodulose geyserite.
Geyser activity was first observed during the 1990s. Eruptions are uncommon but in recent years appear to occur every one to several days (?). Eruption heights reportedly reach up to about 5 meters. Eruption durations have been reported to be 15-20 minutes long and 3-4 minutes long. No eruption runoff channel is present. Water from overflow events and eruption events drains into the surrounding weathered geyserite gravel and percolates downward.
Shown above is Skinny Geyser on 10 June 2017. No eruptions occurred, but observed behaviors included: 1) very intermittent, very low spouts & blips & small splashes; 2) moderately frequent, low to very low spouts & blipping & small splashing; 3) light overflow events that filled the small proximal splash basin near vent; 4) relatively heavy overflow events involving water leaving the cone entirely and percolating into the proximal geyserite gravel. Overflow events this day had periods ("intervals") of 13 to 26 minutes.
