The San Esteban Chuckwalla is endemic to San Esteban Island in the Gulf of California. While it is abundant on this small island, it occurs naturally nowhere else and is protected under the Endangered Species Act. At one time, the Seri translocated populations of this lizard to other islands in the Sea of Cortés as a food item, but none of these populations has survived beyond the original population found on San Esteban.
The San Esteban Island chuckwalla is the largest of its kind. Length: up to 64 cm. Weight: approx 2 kg.
These omnivores prefer creosote and prickly pear blossoms as well as kittlebush leaves but will consume many types of leaves, fruits, buds and seeds. Occasionally, they will take small invertebrates.
Chuckwallas need to maintain a high level of body heat in order to remain active. After the coolness of the desert night, they will seek basking rocks or warm sand by which to raise their body temperature. During this time these chuckwallas cannot move with agility and are vulnerable. Their eyes, placed back on the head and facing outwards gives them good peripheral vision, a defense against attack.
A number of different factors lie behind the endangerment of the San Esteban chuckwalla. Many were captured for the ever escalating U.S. pet trade. In addition many are being killed by uninformed people who confuse them with the poisonous Gila monster. However, the most devastating threat lies with the introduction of invasive species and the resulting degradation of desert habitat. Originally, herbivorous and predatory mammals were absent from San Esteban. Both by accident and willfully, feral cats now roam this island, along with livestock, pigs, rats, and rabbits. The result is the hunting of chuckwallas directly by the felines and rodents, and indirectly by the destruction of their habitat through the uprooting, grazing, trampling and consumption of food sources by the invasive animals. Introduced plants, as well, are out competing native creosote, prickly pear and kittlebush shrubs, staples of this lizards diet. Considering that chuckwallas are recent arrivals on San Esteban, they have had insufficient time to adapt. To add to the dilemma, chuckwallas reproduce slowly and have not developed immunity to diseases introduced by invasive species. In addition, they are sought after by birds of prey, coyotes, and rattlesnakes.
CATALÀ:
L'hortènsia de fulla grossa.
És un arbust de la família de les hidrangeàcies originari del Japó.
L'arbust pot créixer entre 1 i 3 m. Té les fulles ovalades i fan entre 7 i 20 cm de llarg. Les flors poden ser de color rosa, blava o blanca segons el pH del sòl. En terres àcides les flors són blaves; en terres alcalines, roses; i en terres neutres, blanques. La planta s'usa en jardineria per a finalitats ornamentals.
ENGLISH:
Bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia.
It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates. It is not to be confused with H. aspera 'Macrophylla'.
The term macrophylla means large- or long-leaved.[2] The opposite leaves can grow to 15 cm (6 in) in length. They are simple, membranous, orbicular to elliptic and acuminate. They are generally serrated. The inflorescence of Hydrangea macrophylla is a corymb, with all flowers placed in a plane or hemisphere, or even a whole sphere in cultivated forms. Two distinct types of flowers can be identified: central, non-ornamental, pentamerous ones, and peripheral, ornamental, tetramerous ones. The latter have sterile pistils with fertile stamen. The four sepals of decorative flowers have colors ranging from pale pink to red fuchsia purple to blue. The non-decorative flowers have five small greenish sepals and five small petals. Flowering lasts from early summer to early winter. The fruit is a subglobose capsule.
CASTELLANO:
Hortensia.
Es una especie del género Hydrangea originaria de Japón y ampliamente cultivada en Europa.Se trata de un arbusto caducifolio que crecer hasta una altura de entre 1 y 3 m-. Las hojas son opuestas, ovales, dentadas y acuminadas, de entre 7 y 20 cm de longitud, con bordes rudamente dentados. Las inflorescencias se agrupan en corimbos terminales, grandes cabezas globulares, de color blanco, azul, rojo o rosa.
El color de las flores depende de la cantidad de sulfato de aluminio que contenga el suelo, si este es neutro a alcalino contiene menos aluminio, por lo que se producen flores rosas, con suelos ácidos con un pH de 5,5 o menor, la mayor cantidad de mineral al alcance de las raíces da flores azules. Las blancas no se ven afectadas por los valores de pH.2
La floración se produce desde mediados de la primavera hasta finales del verano.

Peripheral vision loss (tunnel vision):
Peripheral vision problems mean that you don't have a normal, wide-angle field of vision, even though your central vision may be fine.
Moderate and severe cases of peripheral vision loss create the sensation of seeing through a narrow tube, a condition commonly referred to as "tunnel vision."
Symptoms of peripheral vision loss also can include difficulty seeing in dim light and decreased ability to navigate while you are walking.
If you have a sudden decrease in peripheral vision, see your optican or doctor immediately. Sudden loss of peripheral vision may indicate a detached retina, which is a medical emergency that must be treated as soon as possible to avoid permanent vision loss.
The Royal National Institute for Blind People (RNIB) website tells me that 93% of people who are registered blind or partially sighted in the UK retain some useful vision. So why isn’t there better understanding of visual impairment? Is it because it is easier for sight-loss charities to raise money if they present a more simplistic, pitiable image of blindness? Or is it because it is thought too complex an issue to explain?
Blindness is not binary. It is a full and varied spectrum. Visually impaired people come in many different variations. Some have central vision but no periphery. Some have periphery but no central. Some see the world through a window stained with blobs. For others, it is all a blur. Just give us a fair chance and a little space, we will probably just quietly get in your way on staircases.
CIBEUREUM TRIPLE WATERFALLS are composed of the Cikundul
falls, Cidenden falls, and the Cibeureum falls.
The tremendous volume of these falls is enough evidence to understand the vital role the Park
plays as a watershed of the peripheral areas. “Cibeureum” in Sundanese means “red water”, and this derives from the red moss (Sphagnum gedeanum), a naturally occurring species around the falls.

The Australian one-hundred-dollar note was first issued in 1984 as a paper note. There have been two different issues of this denomination: initially a very light turquoise-blue paper note, and from May 1996, a green polymer note. Since the start of issue there have been six signature combinations. Wikipedia

The main peripheral boulevard of the Thuringian capial, Erfurt, is the Yuri Gagarin Ring, and a large mural of the geat man himself adorns the wall of an adjacent apartment block. Here he looks down on a passsing Mercedes-Benz Citaro of SWE EVAG, the local authority owned transport undertaking.
Peripheral vision is extremely important to Bighorns, which is why their pupils are oval-shaped and why they grind the tips of their horns in a process called "brooming."
This female LEO was so good, they made her shoot left-handed and blindfolded. Actually, the red blinders prevent her peripheral vision from picking up competitors on either side of her.

I never expected this photo to make Explore. Just something going on in Oklahoma to place in the "Oklahoma Through My Eyes" group. Since so many are viewing this photo, I'd like them to know a little about the man this pistol match is named for.
Sergeant Dale DeBerry
Norman Police Department
End of Watch: Tuesday December 1, 1998
I knew Dale and never saw the man without a big smile on his face. I always thought he was almost 'too nice' to be a police officer. But, that big smile never kept Dale from doing his job.
Dale suffered a massive heart attack while running an obstacle course at the Norman Police Range. Fellow officers did CPR on him, but he never made it to the hospital. I was acquainted with two Norman officers who died in the line of duty several years ago. It's fitting that they are remembered to this day because of how they died. But to those who knew these men, they are remembered for how they lived.

• She sits on the edge of maybe,
where dreams drift off and just begin.
No map, no compass in her hand,
but still the courage to stand still.
She softly says, “I do not know,”
and that is all she has to show.
But in that quiet, open name,
there lies a truth without a claim.
She is no riddle to be solved,
no path that must be clearly drawn —
but a story growing gently still,
in doubt, in hope, in morning’s dawn.
As always, a huge thanks to those who stop by to view, fave and or comment! It is truly appreciated... 🙏 ❤️
Peripheral light falloff is controlled to retain brightness across the frame, and subjects located at the edge of the frame are sharp and well resolved, even when shooting at maximum aperture with focus set to infinity.

There’s something super special about a New Zealand hoar frost to me, these are unequivocally my favourite scenes to photograph anywhere on earth, ever !
I thought to myself, what is it you like so much about these scenes, and I think the answer is four things combined - the subtle colour palette, the contrast, the soft atmospheric feel, & the fact that these images are made to be fine art prints & hung on the wall.

Sandhamn (Swedish for "Sand Harbour") is a small settlement in the central-peripheral part of the Stockholm Archipelago in central-eastern Sweden, approximately 50 km (30 mi) east of Stockholm. Sandhamn is located on the island Sandön ("Sand Island"), which is, however, colloquially referred to as Sandhamn.
One of the most important natural ports in the archipelago with easy access to the Swedish capital, Sandhamn has been popular for pleasure boating since the late 19th century. It is known for its tavern, its clubhouse, and its harbour.
The island is approximately 9 km (5.6 mi) long and 6 km (3.7 mi) and consists mostly of sand and is dominated by beaches, dunes and especially pine forests.
Sandhamn receives an additional 100,000 visitors annually.
"Viveca Stens" popular novels come to life in "The Sandhamn Murders", a perfect mix of Nordic crime & the beautiful surroundings of the outer Stockholm archipelago.
Sandhamn (le nom veut dire port de sable) est une petite île de Suède située sur la mer Baltique. La population de ce petit port de pêcheurs n'excède pas les 110 habitants. Le tourisme y est développé grâce à des liaisons maritimes Stockholm-Sandhamn régulières en été.
Cette île est le lieu où se déroule l'action du roman La Reine de la Baltique de l'auteur Viveca Sten. Une adaptation de ce roman pour la télévision est diffusée en France sous le titre de "Meurtres à Sandhamn".
