I am stressing over midterms quite bad
and baking or cooking caLms me down.
It's hard to make smaLL batches for one;
however...
here's my spin on a couple of my favourites.
iVe aLways wanted bite-size desserts
that are grouped like this
to accent the different fLavors & coLours.
iM missing the fresh coconut or
crisped coconut shavings as toppings.
before you'all say anything....
yes, i know...
just didn't have time to make
leche fLan, turon, maja bLanca, tupig, etc...
iM onLy one cooking momma, ok?

Una bandada de Tucancillos trabaja arduamente para construir un nido todos trabajan en equipo.
esta es una especie que poco a poco se va adaptando al ser humano y debido a esa situacion va ganando terreno, se le puede ver en bosques y en zonas urbanas, come semillas de palmeras pero tambien se la ha visto asaltando nidos de otras aves para robar sus huevos, ademas se han observados ejemplares llevando crias de pequeños mamiferos.

Ok now I finally took the time to process one of my favourite shots from the trip to cornwall. I usually tend to get a bit anxious when it comes to processing the shots which during vacation just looked so gorgeous and about which I was the most excited. I often fear that I don't do the scene justice with the shot and the processing. As you can guess this is not out of camera, that wouldn't have been enough for me to convey the emotions connected to this scene. It's a focusstacked DRI image. And I did a little more than usual to enhance the color contrasts between warm and cool and green and magenta.
It's such a bliss when after a clouded day the sun comes into view for sunset. I was desperately waiting for this moment since I knew it would come to bath the foreground into a warm light and give the sky a kind of ethereal look... Well might also be that this is only how the scene looked or felt for me, but I hope you guys also like it!!
cheers

aao manaye jashne mohabbat jam uthaye jam ke baad
shaam sey pehle kaun ye soche kya hona hai sham ke baad
aao manaye ...
hamari tamanna tumhe pyar karna
hame aur karna kya - 2
mohabbat me ruswa huye bhee toh kya hai .. duniya sey darna kya
aage koi ilzaam nahee hai chahat ke ilzaam ke baad
aao manaye jashne mohabbat jam uthaye jam ke bad
aao manaye ..
yeh aalam hai jaise udda ja raha ho
tumhe leke bahon me - 2
tumhare labon sey hamare labo tak nahee koyee rahon me
kaise koyee ab dil ko sambhale itane hansi paigham ke baad
aao manaye jashne mohabbat jam uthaye jam ke baad
shaam sey pehale kaun ye soche kya hona hai shaam ke baad
aao manaye ..

capturing a butterfly
with a camera
makes a great metaphor
for freezing fleeting bursts
of magical moments
each flitter is a unique gesture
which passes in an instant
each flutter is a singular motion
which never comes back
Looking through my viewfinder while trying to capture this butterfly reminded me how important it is to live in the moment. It doesn’t matter how simple or insignificant that moment might seem to be. I know that within it lie incredible wonders, but which only my heart can see.
Ensaio Geral
O balet conta uma história onde a fantasia e magia, típicas de um romantismo, contam as aventuras de um quebra-nozes de aparência humana, vestido como um soldado, mas que tem as pernas e a cabeça de tamanho desmensurado. A heroína, Clara, gostava tanto da sua aparência que o pediu como presente de natal ao seu padrinho. Assim o padrinho Herr Dosslmeyer fabricante de relógios disse "Era precisamente para ti", logo em seguida Clara experimenta-o e vê que ele quebra as nozes sempre sem perder o seu sorriso e também com grande eficácia. Seu irmão Fritz, que tinha visto como o quebra-nozes funcionava, também quis usá-lo, mas escolhe as nozes maiores que havia no cesto. Então o quebra-nozes, sendo usado grosseiramente pelo irmão dela, acaba quebrando um de seus braços. Diante das reclamações da pobre Clara, seu pai o juiz Stahlbaun, entrega à filha o seu quebra-nozes como propriedade exclusiva, tendo Fritz que sair para brincar com os seus brinquedos. Logo em seguida Clara pega no chão o braço de quebra-nozes e o consola abraçando-o em seus braços até ele dormir e Clara, também acaba dormindo. Com o adormecimento, Clara sonha... Clara volta ao esconderijo onde havia colocado o seu quebra-nozes, mas encontra o salão cheio de ratazanas enormes que o seu padrinho Dosselmeyer criou. A casa desapareceu e no lugar onde ficavam os móveis estavam árvores gigantescas. Não foi só isso que mudou; o Quebra-Nozes de Clara agora é um soldado de carne e osso e que tem às suas ordens um pelotão de soldados como ele. Começa uma batalha entre as ratazanas e o pelotão do Quebra-Nozes. Jogando enormes sapatos até às ratazanas, os soldados vencem a batalha, e com isso o rei das ratazanas e também as suas ratazanas fogem rapidamente. O bosque se transforma numa linda estufa de inverno. E o Quebra-Nozes transforma-se num lindo príncipe que leva Clara até o Reino das Neves, onde apresenta ao rei a rainha a menina e dançam juntos. Fim do 1º Acto.
Acto II
- 2º Ato
No início do 2º acto Clara e o príncipe Quebra-Nozes despedem-se e seguem para o Reino dos Doces pelo Caminho da Limonada, onde pastéis de todos os reinos do mundo dançam com os dois. Depois deste sonho tão mágico e fantástico Clara acorda e percebe que havia sonhado,ficando triste por isso. Deste modo, vai se despedir do padrinho mago, que tinha ido para casa na companhia do sobrinho. Então, para surpresa de Clara, o tal sobrinho é na verdade o príncipe Quebra-Nozes. Assim acaba o 2º Acto.
A Companhia de Dança Ana Unger apresentará o espetáculo 'Quebra Nozes', no Teatro da Paz, de 2 a 6 de dezembro, às 16h30 e 20h, e dias 16 e 17 de dezembro, no mesmo horário, com participação da Orquestra Sinfônica do Theatro da Paz.

66/365 - Bad Day - Daniel Powter
Tuesday was sunny but not my day...
It was a beautiful spring journey, warm and colorful, so I went downtown with Loic after classes to take pictures but I wasn't able to find something decent.
On the way back home, I unlocked my door but it was still not opening : the second bolt, the one on the door handle I never use has been unfortunately locked before I closed the door and left my place.
The only problem was that I only had the second keys set, the main keys set with this key was inside.
That was the cherry on the cake of bad day with no inspiration at all.
So I had to broke the glass of my window to get in my flat.
After cleaning all the broken glass I closed the hole with my Nike 6.0 box and some tape...
So this is the story of today's crappy shot, and I found it mix perfectly with Daniel Powter's lyrics.
Hope you'll forgive me for posting a so bad picture.

I recently visited Morro Bay , specifically Morro strait a section of beach that words can barely descibe. Kids, dogs, and coulples just walking along this beach cannot help but be awestruck by the immense size of the rock and the atmosphere it seems to generate. The waves lap along the shore and the sun seems to just hover and play with the outline of the rock. Here is the series of shot I took this day as the sun slowly went down.
a must see for anyone visiting pismo beach or highway 1 on the California coastline. PS the riders of these horses asked me to post this as they said "they have no shots of them riding on this beach" I hope this finds you well.
First Thursday event at Sheffield's HUBS (formerly the National Centre for Popular Music):
"February’s First Thursday, in association with Sheffield Chamber’s BME Forum, is an exciting, extended celebration showcasing some of South Yorkshire’s best creative and cultural businesses and talent from the black and minority ethnic (BME) community and beneficiaries from The Equal Last Mile Development Partnership: South Yorkshire.
The aim of the evening is to promote diversity and networking between the BME business community and the South Yorkshire-wide Creative and Digital Industries sector. Multiple studies have proven that regions which positively embrace cultural diversity and the market opportunities it creates perform better than areas which ignore its potential.
The event will include presentations, musical entertainment and networking, a multi-cultural buffet, stalls from funders and business advisers and a black hair and beauty fashion show in the heart of Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter."
So lately, I quite like taking pictures on my driveway :) haha.
But today has been insanely rough,again.
I could really use some cheering up.
It's finally feeling like springtime :)
And I had to delete a couple of older photos off of my stream to save room :(

Tutta la pianta dell'oleandro (Nerium oleander) è mortale, perchè contiene cianuro, non solo i semi.
Se ne mangi solo uno, al massimo stai solo un pò male... ma più di uno ti rischi di avvelenarti, provocando il soffocamente a livello cellulare.
Pensa che usando il legno dell'oleandro, per fare la carne allo spiedo, rischi un'intossicazione mortale.
Vuoi la prova della tossicità della pianta? Prendi un fiore, o una foglia... stropicciala con le dita, e sentirai odore di mandola. Quell'odore è dato dai composti contenenti cianuro.

- A prism of words, for the lucky who reads Neruda in spanish …
Poema El pozo
de Pablo Neruda
A veces te hundes, caes
en tu agujero de silencio,
en tu abismo de cólera orgullosa,
y apenas puedes
volver, aún con jirones
de lo que hallaste
en la profundidad de tu existencia.
Amor mío, qué encuentras
en tu pozo cerrado?
Algas, ciénagas, rocas?
Qué ves con ojos ciegos,
rencorosa y herida?
Mi vida, no hallarás
en el pozo en que caes
lo que yo guardo para ti en la altura:
un ramo de jazmines con rocío,
un beso más profundo que tu abismo.
No me temas, no caigas
en tu rencor de nuevo.
Sacude la palabra mía que vino a herirte
y déjala que vuele por la ventana abierta.
Ella volverá a herirme
sin que tú la dirijas
puesto que fue cargada con un instante duro
y ese instante será desarmado en mi pecho.
Sonríeme radiosa
si mi boca te hiere.
No soy un pastor dulce
como en los cuentos de hadas,
sino un buen leñador que comparte contigo
tierra, viento y espinas de los montes.
Ámame tú, sonríeme,
ayúdame a ser bueno.
No te hieras en mí, que será inútil,
no me hieras a mi porque te hieres.

♫♪Sta Limania♫♪, de Natasa Theodoridou, de la BSO de la película "Un toque de canela".
Rescato estas fotos porque ya no sé cuando volveré a tener tiempo para probar a hacerlas de nuevo y como lo que reflejan me gusta tanto, prefiero pasar por encima de calidades técnicas y perfeccionismos varios.
El lugar resulta curioso: es el casino del pueblo en el que vivo desde que nací. No es un casino de los de mesas de tapete verde y señores adinerados, no. Es una asociación cultural, por llamarlo de alguna forma. No sé los años que tendrá, pero seguro que pasa de un siglo, por la zona en la que se encuentra y por la construcción en sí. Es un amplio local -puede que, de lejos, el bar más grande de la población- en el que sólo se reúnen hombres a jugar la partida de cartas o la de dominó. Las únicas mujeres que se ven son las dos trabajadoras que gestionan la cafetería, integrada en el enorme salón en el que hay una mesa de billar, un rincón dedicado a la lectura de la prensa y el resto, a mesas para juegos varios.
El acceso a los que no están asociados es libre, pero, por ejemplo, los periódicos están reservados y los partidos de fútbol retransmitidos por la televisión, también.
Da a dos calles y tiene enormes ventanales. La única planta de la construcción se levanta un poco del nivel de la calle por lo que los habituales del casino están en un escaparate permanente. De ahí que a mí la situación del rincón de lectura me resulte tan atrayente: la misma gente, día tras día, leyendo el periódico a diferentes horas. Casi todos mayores; los más, bastante mayores. Una rutina que forma parte de mi vida, sobre todo, desde que tengo a Zas y he de salir a diario a pasearlo.
El local es la sede del Círculo Instructivo Musical, esto es, la Banda de Música municipal y desde el salón principal se puede acceder a un frontón de pilota valenciana, en el que se celebra, de cuando en cuando, alguna competición. Hace muchos años -y ahora también, pero mucho menos- era un lugar reservado sólo para hombres, en los que se apostaba de manera habitual. La imagen más representativa de esta "forma de ser" que se extinguirá por el paso del tiempo, cuando desaparezca esta generación de mayores, es la del señor repeinado, con bigote y puro en la mano, endomingado, con presencia de hombre satisfecho.
La dificultad que entrañaban las fotos era hacerlas sin que ellos me vieran, por lo que tuve que utilizar el zoom desde la acera de enfrente y aprovechar, en dos de ellas, la caida de la noche, porque salvo la primera que pude hacerla desde enfrente de la fachada, a unos diez metros de distancia y con la luz a favor, los reflejos de los cristales, en las otras tomas, se comían la escena. De ahí que tengan ruido y no estén bien enfocadas... esconderse detrás de un coche no es una buena manera de atinar a la hora de hacer una fotografía.
Peratallada que ha sido declarada conjunto histórico artístico, es uno de los núcleos más importantes del Ampurdán en cuanto a arquitectura medieval se refiere. De un extraordinario atractivo y belleza, conserva su antiguo aspecto feudal, donde hay que destacarn el castillo fortificado con su torre del homenaje y el palacio (s. XI-XIV), las murallas (s. XII-XIII) y la iglesia de San Esteban (románica, de principios del s. XII ). Llama la atención el gran foso que rodea a esta localidad, excavado en la roca viva. De aquí procede el nombre de la Villa: Piedra Tallada.
La villa conserva la misma distribución urbana medieval: desde la Plaza Mayor, con sus singulares porches, hasta la trama de estrechas callejuelas, donde descubriremos un interesante conjunto de arquitectura popular.
Peratallada that has been declared historical artistic, is one of the most important nuclei Ampurdán about medieval architecture is concerned. In a special attraction and beauty, retains its old feudal aspect, where destacarn that the castle with its tower and the palace of the tribute (s. XI-XIV), walls (s. XII-XIII) and the church of San Esteban (Romance of the early twelfth century). Draws attention to the great moat that surrounds the town, dug into the rock. Hence the name of the Town: Stone carving.
The village retains the same distribution medieval city: from Piazza Maggiore, with its unique porch, until the fabric of narrow streets, where they discover a set of interesting architecture.

Basilica del Pilar - Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar
El templo catedralicio y basilical de Nuestra Señora del Pilar es, artísticamente, uno de los monumentos arquitectónicos más importantes de la Cristiandad.
La antigua tradición nos habla de una capilla de adobes, construida por los convertidos a orillas del Ebro, en el lugar de la aparición. El edificio del Pilar se documenta por escrito desde el siglo IX como Iglesia de Santa María.
Tras la conquista de Zaragoza por Alfonso I (1118), fue sustituido por una templo románico a finales del siglo XII, sufriendo grandes modificaciones un siglo más tarde.
El templo románico fue edificado durante el pontificado del obispo Don Pedro de Librana, del que se conserva sólo un tímpano (hoy colocado en el muro sur junto a la puerta baja del templo); es un tímpano centrado por gran crismón rodado que se decora con cierta ingenuidad y monotonía, con rosetas inscritas en círculos unas, más naturalistas otras y recortadas las de la parte baja por las mordeduras del tiempo en el borde inferior de la piedra; el medio punto se decora, en modo continuo y envolvente, con una cinta formando lazos. Es la llamada lápida del «Lábaro de Constantino», de la que deriva el uso en los templos españoles de escribir el nombre de Cristo con X y con P griega. El templo gótico sufrió un incendio en 1434, por lo que exigió nuevas construcciones, acabadas en 1515.
La creciente devoción pilarista impuso el alzado de un nuevo templo, mayor que el gótico, de una sola nave y claustro anejo (rectangular y sencillo, doble largo que ancho, y de unos 85 metros2), que comenzó a calificarse en el siglo XVII, y en el que queda incorporada la Santa Capilla.
La traza general del templo se encargó a Francisco de Herrera el Mozo, cuyas obras comenzaron en 1681; lo principal del edificio barroco, incluidas sus cúpulas, estaba terminado en 1754. Mientras, el Cabildo ya había decidido en 1725 transformar el aspecto de la Santa Capilla, lo que se encomendó a Ventura Rodríguez, quedando concluida en 1765.
El templo del Pilar, joya del barroco aragonés, queda constituido como un inmenso salón (planta rectangular de 130 x 96 m., con una altura máxima de 80 m.) de tres largas naves, más ancha la central que las laterales, divididas en siete tramos, donde alternan a tresbolillo bóvedas y cúpulas, sosteniéndose sobre grandes arcos apoyados en robustos pilares de sección cuadrada -salvo los de la cúpula central, poligonales- todos ellos decorados con pilastras corintias adosadas entre las cuales se inscriben esbeltas hornacinas con dorados flamencos. En medio de la nave central se encuentra el Altar Mayor que contiene el Retablo, una de las obras de arte más importantes de este templo. Rodea el conjunto una serie de capillas, las dos sacristías, el pequeño Coro frente a la Santa Capilla y otras dependencias.
Desde 1676 ostenta la dignidad catedralicia. El 24 de junio de 1948 el Papa Pío XII concedía a la Catedral de Nuestra Señora del Pilar el título y dignidad de Basílica Menor, con el Breve "Decus ornarnentumque". Y desde el 22 de junio de 1904 es Monumento Histórico-Artístico Nacional
Fatty marrow on char grilled toast (more delicious St. John bread) that bring out the smoky flavours from of the char. The marrow was served unsalted and tasted only oily, rich, but ironically very clean. I enjoyed the lightly dressed parsley salad, which was a lovely blend of crisp greens, kicked up with lightly salted fresh capers and peppery red onions. The salad was the cleansing component on this otherwise artery clogging plate, balancing out the strong flavours of the grilled toasts and cutting the richness of the fatty marrow.

Ex #6 Again not the shot I set out to get, tide was too high when I got here, bla bla bla. I had been on the beach for an hour and a half without one successful shot before I took shelter behind the old harbour wall to get this. The exposure is a bit too long as I lost a lot of detail in the clouds, but it was the only shot I got, i live and learn.
Looking for the Dog ? FWT can you find it ?
I've been running, trying to be one who sees
I've been working, this salvation out on my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
We are redeemed
I'm believing, trusting in creative hands,
I am praying for our world to bow to your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable
To take up my cross and follow You Lord
When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
I'm forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness
Undelivered, but it doesn't seem right
Unless I keep my eyes focues on the Savior who gave His life
In the middle of a world that denies it believes
It is breaking apart at the very seams
There is one thing to be alive for
And it's to take up my cross and follow You Lord
When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go
When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans are still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
Fall to my knees

Introduction
This is a relatively-common butterfly that is unmistakable when seen at rest - the rings on the hindwings giving this butterfly its common name. The uppersides are a uniform chocolate brown that distinguish this butterfly from the closely-related Meadow Brown. Despite this uniformity, a newly-emerged adult is a surprisingly beautiful insect, the velvety wings providing a striking contrast with the delicate white fringes found on the wing edges. The dark colouring also allows this butterfly to quickly warm up - this butterfly being one of the few that flies on overcast days.
Variation in this butterfly is primarily focused on the rings on the hindwings, the lanceolata aberration being particularly striking, where the rings are elongated to form teardrops. Other aberrations occur where the rings are greatly reduced or completely absent. Huggins (1959) also describes a form in Kerry, Ireland, that is of normal size until 600 feet, when it starts to be replaced by a dwarf form that, at 1,000 feet, takes over completely.
This butterfly can be found throughout most of the British Isles, south of a line between the South Ebudes in the west and Banffshire in the east. It is also absent from the western parts of northern England, north-west of the Midlands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This butterfly forms discrete colonies where numbers vary from a few dozen to several thousand.
Aphantopus hyperantus
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758)
Conservation Status
This is one of the few species that is doing well, with evidence of increases in both distribution and population. It is not, therefore, a priority species for conservation efforts.
Habitat
A variety of habitats is used, although sites characterised as being sheltered and damp are preferred, such as woodland clearings, woodland edges and rides, meadows, hedgerows, road verges and country lanes, where the full heat from the summer sun can be avoided and where the foodplant is lush. The butterfly is not typically found in open areas, such as grassland or heathland.
Life Cycle
There is one generation each year, with adults emerging in the second half of June, peaking in mid-July, with a few individuals continuing into August. The flight period is relatively-short when compared with its close relatives.
Imago
Male and female are almost identical in appearance, although it is just possible to make out the feintest of sex brands on the forewings of the male, which contains special scent scales used in courtship. Males adopt an exclusive strategy of patrolling for mates and are often seen in ones and twos fluttering among the grasses that typify their habitat.
A mated female lays her eggs in a somewhat-chaotic fashion, typically perched on a grass stem and ejecting a single egg at random, often into the air, causing it to land in the vegetation. Both sexes take nectar from a variety of sources, Bramble and Thistle being particular favourites.
Adults feed primarily on Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) and Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.).
Ovum
Eggs are a pale yellow when first laid, but soon turn a pale brown. The stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.
Larva
The larva is nocturnal and hides by day at the base of a grass tussock, emerging at night to feed on the tenderest parts of the foodplant. The larva hibernates while in the 3rd instar, but will feed on particularly warm evenings during the winter. Regular feeding resumes in the spring when the larvae can be found by torchlight feeding on grass stems, although they will fall to the ground with the slightest disturbance. There are 4 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), Common Couch (Elytrigia repens), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Meadow-grasses (various) (Poa spp.) and Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa).
Pupa
The pupa is formed in a flimsy cocoon, comprising just a few strands of silk, at the base of a grass tussock. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.

To be serious, one of my top-ten super hero movies is definitely Big Hero 6. It has a great storyline despite that it's made for kids. Furthermore the animations are really well done and the emotions of the characters are captured perfectly. In addition all the scenes in the movie are filled with a lot of nice details.
The fact that they used a Fall out Boy song makes everything even better!
I especially liked how they designed Hiro's Workshop. It's full of stuff.
Now with a SuperHero competition on Imperium der Steine I had the chance to build it in Lego.

EXPLORE # 2!
I took this photo during my 5-day backpacking trip in High Sierra: from Onion Valley to Rae Lakes.
My team of 8 hiked about 40 miles, including going through tough Glen Pass 11798 ft (3596 m) and Kearsarge Pass 11760 ft (3550 m)
This was taken at evening before spending very first night near Matlock Lake. I walked around lake at evening - and took a number of macro shots with frogs and flowers. And I took this beautiful sunset photos of near-by Flower Lake.The whole trip was amazing, opening my eyes at beauty of high mountains filled with dozens and dozens of alpine lakes...It was not easy to carry a 40-pound backpack and climb high elevation passes while the air is so thin, but it was worh the effort and I surely will return here again

We zijn aangekomen in Buka. Dit is een eilandje ietsje ten noorden van Bougainville,
een buurprovincie van de Solomon eilanden in de stille zuidzee, en je merkt hier dan ook invloeden van dit land in de gebruiken en tradities. De mensen zijn donker van huidskleur.
Vrouwen zijn heel fier op hun halskettingen van geslepen schelpjes. Dit is een huwelijkscadeau. Lichaamsbeschilderingen worden zelden toegepast. Bij speciale gelegenheden dragen ze fel gekleurde borststukjes en rokjes van een soort raffia, gedroogde bladeren.
We worden ontvangen door een lokale stam. Er volgt een aangename begroeting, en onze voeten worden besprenkeld. Dit is hun welkomstgroet.

Buka Island is the second largest island in the Papua New Guinean province of Bougainville.
Buka is situated on Buka Island, Bougainville Province, Papua New Guinea. It has been the capital of the province during the Bougainville civil war. The former, or proper capital of Bougainville, Arawa was all but destroyed in 1990 as tensions reached a critical level in a civil uprising.
Buka today is a bustling, peaceful town, detached by water from the main island Bougainville, and the much publicized tension there.
A difficult time of the year to be a photographer in this part of the world, but you make do with what you got. Here, I liked the light on the pole and its reflections in the water, then it was a matter of composing it with the edge of the ice.
why sayonara? greeks use this japanese word, for flip-flops, as they look like the traditional footwear.
after a tiring overnight ferry ride, our patience was thin. we couldn't wait for a longer drive and headed for the most local beach at vrontados.
it's on the map.

Well the whole day started with us getting there and going through a 1& 1/ 2 hour talk on what to do and not do when you went in with the wolves. They are wild but they are ok with people being in with them as long as you do nothing stupid.
Monty, Gail, and Pat were in with us the whole time and at one point I had three wolves surrounding me wanting to be scratched behind the ear. It was incredible. Valerie and Tony were there also. I will put up links to their streams tonight.
Oh and I will put up pics of the staff with the wolves also. I am in Atlanta waiting for my husband to get out of work. Talk to you all later tonight.
How could I pass up face painting day?

I have not used face paint in a while, so I just had to participate. I painted my whole face up and my stinking camera was having some issues, I was paranoid that I was going to break out from having all this stuff on my face. It all worked out. I really need to shower, I washed it all off, but I still feel icky.
Well I am off to shower and do some running around I have been putting off. Hope everyone has a great Saturday night!!!!
Oh and I was planning on smiling today because Pimp and Ali were bustin my chops yesterday, but I would of looked like a freak with a big ole smile on my face... AHHAHA some other day!!
Le api sono una vera e propria palestra per chi si confronta con la macrofotografia. Se da un lato sono soggetti molto comuni da fotografare, dall'altro - per la loro estrema mobilità - pongono non pochi problemi per la messa a fuoco!!!
Al Bombus terrestris piace caldo ---->> una ricerca pubblicata diverso tempo fa sulla prestigiosa rivista scientifica Nature ha svelato una peculiarità davvero inaspettata dei bombi (Bombus terrestris) e di altri insetti impollinatori.
Per questi piccoli insetti, una corretta amministrazione delle energie diventa fondamentale per mantenere una buona autonomia, in grado di assicurare non solo il volo da fiore a fiore, ma anche un ritorno rapido e sicuro al favo. L’evoluzione ha quindi premiato quegli esemplari maggiormente predisposti a conservare energia, selezionando nuove generazioni costituite da elementi sempre più efficienti e autonomi.
Secondo il gruppo di entomologi che ha curato la ricerca, nel loro alacre lavoro di raccolta del polline, i bombi prediligono i fiori dalle corolle più calde, che consentono a questi insetti di spendere meno energie per mantenere alta la loro temperatura corporea.
Sempre secondo la ricerca pubblicata su Nature, questa curiosa predilezione dei bombi e di altre specie di api avrebbe spinto alcune specie di fiori a sviluppare particolari forme e colori per mantenere più a lungo il calore, rendendosi così più invitanti per gli insetti impollinatori in grado di riconoscere proprio dalla colorazione i fiori più caldi.
