Caenomorpha medusula atraviesa el agua a la velocidad del rayo, como un meteorito indeciso que duda donde caer y en su caída gira, se desploma y vuelve a subir para intentarlo de nuevo. Con su cuerpo de medusa y su cola de cometa es también un ciliado tan extraño como difícil de fotografiar, no se detiene a descansar, infatigable y rápido este minúsculo ser parece tener en su interior la energía de los astros.
La parte anterior de Caenomorpha se despliega como el sombrero de una medusa rematada en varios penachos de cilios, unos lo rodean y otros lo recorren en su longitud formando una cresta de hilo. Bajo este sobrero de copa redonda, el cuerpo de Caenomorpha se estrecha y estrecha hasta formar una larga cola y desaparecer, gracias a ella, los movimientos no son tan erráticos y sostienen al ciliado en su carrera loca por el agua, como la cola de una cometa en el cielo.
La boca de Caenomorpha no se abre en su extremo sino bajo el sobrero, queda así - aunque no tiene dientes- protegida de los golpes que pudiera darse en su alocada carrera. En su interior dos macronúcleos y un micronúcleo se encargan de pilotar esta descontrolada nave y de intervenir en los procesos de reproducción. A su lado, un hueco esférico no es más que una vacuola contráctil que a ritmo de corazón bombea el exceso de agua que puede haber quedado atrapada en su interior.
Caenomorpha medusula vive en las aguas sobrecargadas de materia orgánica y en las que falta el oxígeno, aún así, Caenomorpha parece respirar y muy bien, porque nunca se fatiga, a nosotros nos ha dejado con la lengua fuera después de una loca carrera de persecución y ahora necesitamos descansar.
Nuestro ciliado de hoy, Caenomorpha medusula, procede de unas muestras recogidas hace cinco días días en la Laguna de las Sanguijuelas, junto a Vigo de Sanabria y en el incomparable marco del zamorano Lago de Sanabria y ha sido fotografiado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia .

☁ la nube negra de una justicia pervertida en nuestro país, movida por la envidia y la venganza, permanecerá aquí, hasta que soplen los vientos limpios que todos necesitamos. La Justicia es uno de los cimientos necesarios para la Paz. Desde aquí todo nuestro apoyo al Juez Baltasar Garzón -el buen Juez de Saramago- y a las personas de buena voluntad como él que trabajan por la Justicia.
Hope you had a Happy Birthday, Greta!
Love these soft, pink "clouds" of flowers. They come in different colours and are favoured by butterflies. Seen and photographes in Jardim Botânico de Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil
Calliandra is a genus of about 200 species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Mimosoideae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of southern Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas. The genus comprises herbaceous perennial plants, shrubs and rarely small trees growing 0.5-6 m tall, with bipinnate leaves. The flowers have numerous long slender stamens, and are produced in cylindrical or globose inflorescences; the stamens give rise to the common name of Powder-puff/ Powder puff Plant and Fairy Duster.These plants flower all year round, but the best blooming is in spring and summer. They can be easily pruned.

Ordination of Deacons service at Manchester Cathedral, Manchester. Picture by Paul Heyes, Sunday June 30, 2019.
In April
~by James Hearst ~
This I saw on an April day:
Warm rain spilt from a sun-lined cloud,
A sky-flung wave of gold at evening,
And a cock pheasant treading a dusty path
Shy and proud.
And this I found in an April field:
A new white calf in the sun at noon,
A flash of blue in a cool moss bank,
And tips of tulips promising flowers
To a blue-winged loon.
And this I tried to understand
As I scrubbed the rust from my brightening plow:
The movement of seed in furrowed earth,
And a blackbird whistling sweet and clear
From a green-sprayed bough.

I loooooove ferns! They are wonderful photo subjects. And finding such a large patch like this in full autumn suit made me all giddy! ;-) Taken about an hour later than me previous upload.
Sadly, I've missed most of the good autumn colours due to work. I've been more or less all over Europe these last few weeks, and this weekend our company had it's 25th anniversary as a company...as all 25th birthdays, it was one HELL of a party! ;-) This weekend will go to birthday celebrations as well, for myself, my mother and my girlfriends step-grandmother (who insisted we came for dinner). So it does not look like I'll be getting any shooting done this weekend either. Contemplating a week of vacation next week...
Anyways, here are the specs:

Several staff members from Moberly Correctional Center (MO), a Corizon facility, recently attended a healthy woman dinner and presentation by Elizabeth Smart. You may remember the Elizabeth Smart name from one of the most publicized and well-known child abduction cases of our time.
Elizabeth presented, and shared insight, into overcoming adversity in a traumatic situation. Employees, who were thrilled to meet and talk with Elizabeth, said her story was heart wrenching, but also eye-opening and inspiring.
The dinner and program were held at the Moberly Area Community College and staff members went as representatives of Corizon. With over 800 attendees, this was a great way to get out and support an area event and participate as a community partner.
Corizon’s mission is to be the world’s foremost provider of correctional healthcare. But along the way, we want to be effective and impactful members of the communities we call home. It starts with our employees. Their compassionate hearts find numerous ways to contribute to a number of programs, charities and other initiatives.

Alright, it's a new year and I thought about restarting a 365 but then I went back and looked through all that I've already done and written about and I couldn't just abandon it for a new one. So instead of starting fresh, I'm giving it a second chance and picking up with the # that January 1st is supposed to be, even though I last left off at 86. I'll catch up when I have time. Also, a new stipulation is the shot has to be taken each day. Something pertinent about each day. Anyways, the point is....the holiday madness is over, the month of December is over, and now life can get leveled.
For me, December held frigid weather, work, good friends, heartbreak, apartment hunting, lease signing, going broke, and moving. It also held guilt for letting my photography... my one and only outlet... fall by the wayside. But no more. Thank god it was only a month, or else I would feel worse and it would be even harder to pick it back up. December was emotionally exhausting, which is saying a lot since the month before it was just as, if not more, emotionally exhausting.
But I've made some personal decisions. I am going to avoid further emotional exhaustion and focus on simplicity, inner peace, and loving myself. I will surround myself with creative people with good hearts and goals. I will be honest with myself and those I am close to. Most of all, I will forgive myself.
Easy enough right? And I will think positive thoughts before fall asleep.
I think I made my feet look sufficiently horror-movie gritty. Anyone care to fund a pedicure? I've never had one and I guess it's supposed to be nice.
Happy new year, Flickrs.
Blue Devils:
www.diablosfestivos.org/diablos/index.php/diablosprofiles...; rel="nofollow">www.diablosfestivos.org/diablos/index.php/diablosprofiles
Though in the 1930s Paramin Blue Devils are reported to have used instruments carved from bamboo, known as tamboo bamboo, for their percussive accompaniment, they now ordinarily move to rhythms established by beating biscuit tins, which have sometimes been given a higher pitch by tempering them with fire. According to Ashton Fournillier, a Paramin King Devil, you identify the Blue Devil by the colored paint, generally blue; the pitchfork; and the blood and guts on the tongue. There is a dance that involves hooking the foot to walk together with movements of the head and shoulders simultaneously while thrusting the pitchfork forward and screaming to the beat of the biscuit tin. Blue devils also sometimes carry painted replicas of cutlasses (machetes). Whereas once they dressed only in cutoff shorts without masks, they now often sport wings, sometimes decorated with swastikas, wear other kinds of clothes, increasingly use animal masks, and until they were recently outlawed at times carried snakes. They sometimes uproot small trees, have been seen to eat small raw sharks snatched from fish vendors, or dismember live chickens. Like some other aggressive traditional characters, they scamper up hills, climb poles and occasionally buildings. In addition to the popular blue, they sometimes paint themselves red, green, black, or white. The staccato beat of their biscuit tins, their glistening body colors, combined with their traditional dance step and skillful maneuvers identify them at once. You distinctly hear them comin' down de road. One of their most popular antics is to blow large gusts of fire, either on the ground or in the air, by spitting kerosene into the flames of their flambeaux (torches made out of bottles of kerosene).
Among the devils there is a King Devil, who leads the sometimes aggressively threatening demands for "titi"; (Trinidad dollars). The King Devil is usually on a leash controlled by another jab, sometimes called an imp, who restrains the King, whether as an emblem of enslavement or a figure of authoritative restraint in the festive context. Though the role of King Devil is an honorific that is usually held for some time by one band member, and then sometimes passed to his son, other devils can exchange roles. The usual move is from percussion to performance, so that a person that this year provides the all-important percussive rhythm, next year might become a bulging eyed, drooling monster who moves and writhes with dexterity as he pleads for and plays with the dollars thrown or dangled in front of him. Despite the fact that for the most part they keep within their own boundaries, the ferocity of their demeanor and their elemental, transgressive threats are often frightening.

According to Wikipedia, the Clouded Leopard is a cat found from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China, and has been classified as vulnerable since 2008 by IUCN. Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults. The clouded leopard is considered to form an evolutionary link between the big cats and the small cats. The Sunda Clouded Leopard found on Sumatra and Borneo is genetically distinct and has been considered a separate species since 2006. Both species are the smallest of the big cats, and are not closely related to the leopard. Clouded Leopards weigh between 25 and 51 lbs (11.5 - 23 kg). Females vary in head-to-base-of-tail length from 27 to 37 inches (69 - 94cm), with a tail 24 to 32 inches (61 - 81cm) long. Males are larger at 32 to 43 inches (81 - 109cm) with a tail 29 to 36 inches (74 - 91cm) long. Their shoulder height varies from 20 to 22 inches (51 - 56cm). They have exceptionally long, piercing canine teeth, the upper being about three times as long as the basal width of the socket. The upper pair of canines may measure 1.6 inches (4cm) or longer. They are often referred to as a “modern-day saber tooth” because they have the largest canines in proportion to their body size, matching the tiger in the length of their canines.
took several shots from the sidewalk. there was a crowd of indian people chatting to the right of me. so i got this view - sewer on my shot.. wasn't trying to be prejudice by saying "indian people". i could tell they were - maybe pakistani - who knows. women wore their nice dresses or wrap. they were just loud! and i didn't understand what they were speaking....
"look at this idiot here trying to take a pic of the sewer!. ha - hah...." (translated in english) - one indian or pakistani man probably said to his friends and family....
lol.... who knows what they said about me..
my family were taking a walk & when they say me they thought i was part of them... they were laughing. "we can't tell if that was you. lol", they said.... (it's my dark skin) it was funny...
but i wish i was on the other side though after looking @ my pics....... it's crappy..
bad or good - all comments are welcome.....
About a week ago I made some cherry buttermilk ice cream but I wasn't all that satisfied with the final texture. Yesterday I picked up a few peaches at the farmers market and figured what better to do with them then to cook them down and add them to some ice cream so I went for attempt #2 on the buttermilk. All it took was about twice the number of egg yolks and now I have a beautifully textured peach and vanilla buttermilk ice cream.
I was hoping it would last for a while in my freezer but I ended up eating about half of it while shooting this photo. Speaking of shooting this photo, I started out with one light and shooting against a black posterboard background but wasn't too happy with the results, it just sort of snowballed from there.

I have had kind of this shot in my head for a while, but in mono. This was the original idea today as well, but the striking blue color at dusk was to good to throw away.
Believe it or not, this is straight out of the raw file. No color boosting. Should really be viewed large on black
Taken for my Project 365. Your comments are appreciated, it gives me the motivation to continue.

YA RABBİ
Seni tarif etmektedir bütün güzel isimler
Sen güzel isimlerini aşikar etmezsen ruhum karanlıkta kalır
Esmaül Hüsna’na şahit yaz beni...
Ya Rabbi
Sana söyleyeceklerim
Senin kudretin için Yeterli gelmez biliyorum
Ancak gözüme görünen
Gönlüme değdirdiğin güzellikler kadar
Cümle kurabilirim
Sen'den başkasına boyun eğdirme bizi...
Benim kendi varlığım hakkındaki hesabım eksik çıkar.
Yokluğumu hesap edip bana yeten Sensin.
Benim kendi ihtiyaçlarıma dair hesaplarım yanlış çıkar.
İhtiyaçlarımın hesabını bilip kafi eyleyen Sensin.
Emellerim hesaba gelmez, arzularım sayıya dökülmez.
Defterimden yanlışlarımı çıkar ki, hesabım kolay olsun.
İhtiyaçlarımın en küçüğüne, hayallerimin hiçbirine elim yetişmez.
Kalbimin sızılarını topla ki, hesaba gelir duam olsun...
EL-HASÎB C.C.
Kullarına yeten, Hesap Görücü, her şeyi saymışcasına bilen,
onları hesaba çeken...
Cenab-ı Hak buyuruyor:
"...Hesap görücü olarak ALLAH yeter." (Nisa, 6)
Her insan kendisini ağır hesaptan kurtarmak için çalışmalı, ALLAH'ın belirlediği sınırlara dikkat etmeli, ahiretteki hesabının hafif olması için daha bu dünyada iken kendisini hesaba çekip yanlışlarını düzeltmelidir.
Cumanız mübarek olsun;
I recently acquired a Gibson SG Special in bad shape. I took it to a luthier to see what could be done. It turned out that besides the finish, the guitar is fine. Rick Mullen, the luthier, and I decided to do a makeover. He striped off the old finish, sanded it down a hair and is refinishing it in dark green satin. I chose dark green because I love the color and thought it would look good with the ebony fretboard. Most SGs are either cherry, black, or white. This should turn out to be a very unique looking instrument.
Photos taken by Rick.
Rick, besides being a luthier, is also a bass player and played with Commander Cody for many years. If you live in the Hudson Valley region and love guitars, a trip to his workshop is well worth the trip.

A HOT DAY IN TUCSON:
To escape the heat of 110+ degrees in the valley in Tucson, Arizona, on June 17, 2007 we drove up to the nearly 8,000 ft. elevation of Mount Lemon, where the temperature plumeted to 78 in the 40 minutes it took to drive to the top. This is a photo I took at Windy Vista Point about halfway up the mountain. You can see the road we traveled up through the mountains, and in the far distance the city of Tucson. It was a spectacular view at Windy Vista Point for we could see the city of Tucson sprawled out in the valley below, and the mountains of Sonora, Mexico in the far distance.
I lived south of Tucson from 1984 until 1999 (in Green Valley, Amado and Sahuarita) and worked in Nogales and Tucson for several years before moving to Washington DC. This photo was taken on my the first trip back to Tucson in over 8 years... it sure was sure nice to see the "old pueblo" again and the beauty of the desert, mountains and wide open spaces of the beautiful State of Arizona.
INFORMATION ON MOUNT LEMMON:
Mount Lemmon is in the Santa Catalina Mountains located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, AZ. It is 9,157 feet above sea-level, and receives approximately 180 inches of snow annually. Mount Lemmon was named in honor of Sarah Lemmon, wife of botanist John Gill Lemmon, who trekked to the top of the mountain with her husband in 1881.
A small town called Summerhaven is on the mountain, which includes many cabins only occupied part of the year. Much of this town was devastated by the Aspen Fire of 2003, and recovery is still taking place. It is near Ski Valley which is the southernmost ski destination in the continental United States.
The location 'Windy Point' was built by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, using a large number of prisoners over a period of 18 years.
The Catalina Highway goes from the east side of Tucson up to Summerhaven, at the top of Mt. Lemmon. The beautiful, curving road is a favorite drive for tourists, for locals escaping summer's heat, for motorcyclists, and cyclists. The highway has been improved recently, but the speed limit has also been lowered to 35 MPH (56 km/h) due to concerns about the highway's safety during peak traffic times.

Le rêve-et-là-teur
Notre pensée cherche des révélations. Elle rêve de bas en haut et non de haut en bas. L’homme ne saurait prétendre de voir et de rêver le monde vu du ciel. Si observer le monde d’en haut constitue en soi le privilège de quelques-uns, par le biais de machines volantes ou de résurrections célestes, je préfère alors le regard naïf et spontané de l’ingénu, nu de toute suffisance d’images et de figures imposées par l’arbitraire de quelques censeurs. À la convocation d’images maintes fois rééditées, je préfère la production d’images en contre-plongée, issue de la liberté et du désir de voir et d’interpréter. « N’est-ce pas plutôt un encombrement pour la pensée qui, ainsi toute peuplée de figures d’emprunt, ne dispose plus d’aucun champ où tracer elle-même des figures ? » 1.
Ici, devant cette photographie, vue et capturée d’en bas, je vois à travers des yeux affranchis, les contours, les flous et les perspectives d’un instant. Cavité de notre pensée, la tête s’incline spontanément en direction de la voûte atmosphérique, couvercle de ce paysage ramifié de reflets et de béton. Un monde vu d’en bas qui révèle ici un ciel autant impénétrable que profond, autant support de formes qui nous font sens que support de d’ouvertures et de projections. L’extrême simplicité et même primitivisme de ce regard photographique nous donne à voir l’expression d’une posture tendue vers la toiture de ses rêves, la tentative d’une offrande sans destinataire, pleine d’aspirations et d’inspirations. Dans sa poésie Jean Cocteau écrivait :
Le ciel a ses étoiles,
La terre ses bordels.
Cri du Christ déchirez le voile.
Jésus couronné de cris d’hirondelles,
Apparaissez tonnez dans votre magnésium ;
Incendiez la presse et prenez loin de l’homme
Ma photographie éternelle.
Utopies, rêves et échappées, provoquent la part de l’invisible et de sublime du visage de notre commun. Une illusion me diront quelques uns. Mais si l’illusion n’est que duperie de la réalité de notre monde bien pensant, je lui donnerais mille fois raison, car elle est nécessitée pour continuer produire des images vues de la terre, les seules qui expriment les mirages, l’espérance de voir plus loin. Modeste et candide, en quête de nouveaux sens, notre regard tourné vers le ciel est rêve-et-là-teur.

This is by far my worst work... thanks to my shaky hands... but the best view thus far from Langkawi.
I was seated in my hall trying to fix my SD Card coz the lock slider came off. I looked out my balcony and saw some very nice crimson hues... my balcony faces South so I knew I was at the wrong place... I shouldn't be at home but at the seaside... I should have stayed on at the other end of the island as I was there this afternoon... but this afternoon it was threatening to rain again so I came home.
Anyway, I went to my balcony to see if I could get a clear shot. No luck.
I went downstairs to the first floor, at the poolside and managed a couple of shots. But I was not happy as it looked so beautiful. I thought for a while.
Then I went up to the10th floor. Still no shot.
Very unhappy now... I went to the rooftop. There was a window... but taking a shot from here I would get the penthouse's roof in the frame. Grrrr...
Aha... then I saw the water tank. Should I? I am acrophobic. Being on the roof in itself took a lot of courage. I gathered all my courage and started climbing the metal steps/ladder. Camera around my neck... clinging onto the railings for dear life. When I got to the top... I went.... WOW!!! Legs shaking, hands trembling... I started snapping. Left hand clinging on to dear life... right hand trembling away and snapping away. You can see my hands were shaking away if you saw the picture large. No matter how I changed the ISO or shutter speed it didn't help. Maybe next time I will take my 50mm up instead... yes, there will be a next time. I'll find a way.
So... here you go... my shaky hands, 5 shot panorama.

Additional info - source Wikipedia:
The construction of the Gothic style Cathedral of St Bartholomew, located on the main square, started in 1295 and was finished by the beginning of 16th century. The building is 58m long, 30m wide and the spires are 25m high. The tallest spire is 102.3m high, being the highest in the Czech Republic, and also the third tallest building in the Czech Republic.
The Great Synagogue in Plzeň, Czech Republic is the second largest synagogue in Europe. The mixture of styles is truly bewildering; from the onion domes of a Russian orthodox church, to the Islamic style ceiling, to the distinctly Indian looking Aron kodesh. The synagogue was used without interruption until the Nazi occupation of World War II, and the Jewish community that retook possession of the synagogue at the end of hostilities had been decimated by the Holocaust. The last regular service was held in 1973, and then the synagogue was closed down and allowed to fall into disrepair under communist rule. Restoration was undertaken from 1995-98, and the synagogue was reopened on February 11, 1998 at a cost of 63 million Kč. The building is now put to good use with the central hall used for concerts from such legends as Joseph Malowany, Peter Dvorský, or Karel Gott, while the walls play host to temporary photographic exhibitions of various worthy-causes. The synagogue is still used for worship, but only in what was formerly the winter prayer room. The present number of Plzen Jews is a little over seventy

They say space is the final frontier! Many movies have been exploring the ultimate of human desires; some of them have soared, while others, in unknown numbers, have crash landed instead. The Cosmonaut is one film that has already soared above all others as the first, fully crowd funded, Creative Commons Licensed project of a grandiose scale. This beautifully shot sci-fi drama is out TODAY, FREE around the world and simultaneously on the web, TV, DVD and in the theaters.
“The Cosmonaut” is surely bound to change the relationship between content creators and their audiences and forever alter “the paradigm of understanding how to finance, produce & distribute the movie.”
Set in 1967, right of the boom of the Space Age, it focuses on three friends and their journey through life, space and the moon. “The Cosmonaut” is a film that takes viewers to a psychological, emotional and even romantic love story among its three protagonists.
The main story revolves around Stas as he “gets lost in space. When he comes back, he finds Earth completely empty. Yulia and Andrei wait for him in a collapsing world. How far would you go for love?” This subject of love and emotion plays a central role in the film.
As exciting as its story, the actual making of the film is also a journey worth being told. It’s the first film to be released under Riot Cinema Collective and has successfully used crowdfunding (raising more than 400 thousand Euros) to produce and create the entire film.
The Cosmonaut Trailer (In all your screens – May 18th 2013) 1080P from Riot Cinema on Vimeo.
According to their press release:
“The Cosmonaut” is much more than a movie. Is an experience that took four years in the making, pushing the boundaries of alternative distribution, copyright and financing. It’s crowdfunded (with more than half a million dollars raised), creative commons-licensed (all the raw materials will be realeased for you to reuse them and it will be online for free on our website as well as in P2P), transmedia (a feature film, 30 extra episodes, a shortfilm and two books), and with a fan-based distribution (you can organize your screening and make money!).
A film that will take you fifty years back in time, to the beginning of the Space Race, when the Soviets ruled the cosmos. Suit up and choose “The Cosmonaut” experience. If you dare.
The film is directed by Nicolas Alcala and produced by Carola Rodriguez and Bruno Teixidor starring Katrine De Candole, Leon Ockenden and Max Wrottesley. It’ll be out on a pay-what-you-want option as well. Those who choose to donate will also receive access to additional film footage and other movie details.
For an independent film, its utter uniqueness and story is well worth the watch.

view it here please you so don't get the detail of the eyes otherwise...
yes so i'm being dramatic.. but i did have to take myself to an unfamiliar doctor today.. alone. in london. it was scary. i had to take two buses and i was sure i was going to get completely lost. luckily i don't mind asking people and d had drawn a great map for me so i was fine. but still. i've been in quarantine for so long i'd forgotten what the outside was like!
luckily i am now inside eating blueberrys.
it obviously didn't snow on my way to the doctors, the shot to the left is an old photo.
the moon princess however, obviously me, today, in the bathroom with the lights out, torch from my phone in one hand, camera in the other. job done. :)
oh and the doctor? told me i have a chest infection. i am now on anti biotics. whoop.
This is Rita, a statue I found about 8 years ago.
I was in a store and saw her face and loved it! I picked her up and was surprised how heavy she was. She is made of sand, and on the bottom there was a tag that said "Rita", which made me love it more..that was my Mom's name.
I researched the name, but came up with nothing. I thought it might be an Indian goddess, but flower looks Polynesian?
She is the color of sand on a beach...but (of course) I shot her in B&W.
Taken in my window in Brooklyn...
Happy Halloween all....

Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
In late summer the brilliant scarlet of Cardinal Flower flashes from the marshes, stream banks and low woods. Called "America's favorite" and "spectacular", its extremely showy blossoms can be recognized at considerable distance. Few native plants have flowers of such intense color as this common herbaceous perennial.
The blossoms are delicate, gradually opening from bottom to top on two to four foot spikes. Five petals are united into a scarlet two-lipped corolla. The lower lip has three very prominent lobes; the upper lip has two small ones. Five stamens are joined forming a red tube around the style and are topped by bearded anthers which form a mustache-looking brush.
Beneath the flower spikes are numerous dark green leaves, tapered at both ends. A moderately tall plant, stout and erect, it is the favorite of our ruby-throated hummingbird, who obliges as a pollinator. The many seeds come in two-celled pods which open at the top.
Cardinal flowers can be grown in full sun or very light shade but probably grow best in filtered light. Mulch to keep the roots moist. Seeds planted in the summer form rosettes of foliage which stay green through the mild winter of the South. Be careful to keep leaves and debris from smothering these rosettes.
Beautiful but deadly, this plant has been used as a medicine but is also very poisonous. It contains fourteen alkaloids similar to those in nicotine. Extracts of the leaves and fruit produce vomiting, sweating, pain and finally death.
The Cardinal Flower is a member of the Bluebell Family, Campanulaceae. It was named after the Flemish botanist, Matthias de L'Obel (1538-1616).
From Wikipedia:
Lobelia cardinalis, the Cardinal Flower, is a perennial that grows 2-4 feet tall and is found in wet places, streambanks, and swamps. Leaves are lanceolate to oval and toothed. The plant flowers during the summer, with vibrant red blooms cited by Roger Tory Peterson as "America's favorite". A white form is also known. Discovered in Canada by explorers, it was sent back to France in the mid 1620s. The name Cardinal flower was in use by 1629, likely due to the similarity of the flower's colour to the miters of Roman Catholic Cardinals [1]. It can be found in North America from New Brunswick, to Florida to Texas to Minnesota, though it is most concentrated in Southern Ontario, New Brunswick, Michigan, and Minnesota[2][3]
North American indigenous peoples used root tea for a number of intestinal ailments and syphilis. Leaf teas were used by them for bronchial problems and colds, inter alia. The Meskwaki people used it as part of an inhalant against catarrh. Although related to tobacco, it was apparently not smoked, but may have been chewed. [4] The plant contains a number of alkaloids. As a member of the genus Lobelia, it is considered to be potentially toxic.[2]
Lobelia cardinalis is related to two other wildflowering plants common to the Eastern United States: Indian Tobacco and Great Lobelia, all of which display the characteristic "lip" petal near the opening of the flower and the "milky" liquid the plant excretes. It has been known to cause an upset in the digestive system when consumed.

OpenCV, simpleCV etc are very useful libraries for toying around with images. You can get interesting results without a lot of effort. But the more serious you get about image recognition, the more you find that you can't use them globally across the image. Finding the yellow car in the parking spot is a good example of the usefulness of the library and also its simplistic capabilities. It recognized a yellow patch in the image and it doesn't recognize a car in a general way.

Day two of Picture the Holidays (http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/pictureholidays.php) and the prompt for today is "reframing", to find time in the hectic pre-Christmas time to enjoy it and calm down. I couldn't live without books and there's no day when I don't read but in winter, I especially love to get up really early on Sunday mornings, when the world around me is still asleep. I love that calming feeling of being the only person awake and having the world to myself. I love to spend the time reading one of my favourite books in those early wintry, snowy, calm mornings and drink a nice cup of tea.
It has also become a bit of a tradition for me to re-read a favourite book in the time before Christmas. This year, I'm re-reading Peter Hoeg's "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow". For a winter and snow lover, the absolute perfect book! :-) I have three different copies of this book, all of which are in the picture. The one I'm reading at the moment is the one on top.
I'm going to the mountains tomorrow morning for a long weekend (masses of snow :-) ) and I won't be able to post anything for Picture the Holidays, neither here nor in the class gallery, until Tuesday, but I hope I'll manage to keep up :-).

I have only a couple of weeks left here in Japan and kept realizing that there were quite a few shots that I did not have due to my short notice move to Turkey before last summer. Now that I am back, I now have only a few weekends left before leaving Japan for good. We basically only had this last weekend as our only time when we don’t have something planned and getting a good shot of Fuji was one of “those shots” I was missing out on. So we threw our sleeping bags into our small little Toyota Starlet to camp out on Friday night for a 4am viewing of Fuji across Lake Motosu as long as our luck way for clear viewing conditions.
Two people sleeping in a Toyota Starlet goes against the grain of the universe and I would never recommend anyone ever try that. On top of not being able to sleep in 3 cubic feet worth of space, I also omitted my allergy meds, and allergies in Japan kick my ass. Luckily the weather cooperated and we had our first clear skies in what seemed like weeks. Not only did we get an awesome viewing at Lake Motosu, but we were also able to get some nice warm light paint on Fuji across nearby Lake Saiko.

En la última semana de abril de este 2023, impartiremos el curso internacional "Microscopía para la observación de microorganismos de turberas" en Chile, gracias a la invitación de la Universidad de la Frontera, del Decanato de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales y del Departamento de Ciencias Agronómicas y Recursos Naturales, de esta Universidad, a través de su director, el Profesor Rubén Carrillo López, impulsor de esta actividad y con la colaboración de los profesores de este Departamento los Drs Patricio Pacheco y Jorge Baraona.
De carácter abierto, y con un enfoque fundamentalmente práctico, esta actividad formativa y de investigación pretende difundir el valor de estos ecosistemas singulares desde diferentes puntos de vista, no solo destacando su importante papel a nivel global como fijadoras de CO2, sino también indagando, dando a conocer, y poniendo en valor, la gran biodiversidad microbiana que albergan y que está en el mismo origen de su génesis.
Las actividades de campo y las de laboratorio centradas en la observación, determinación, y registro visual del material que se investigue, constituirán el eje central del curso en el que el microscopio constituirá una herramienta esencial.
Se explorarán así, profundizando en ellas, las posibilidades que ofrece la microscopía óptica y las diferentes técnicas de observación e iluminación para conseguir los objetivos propuestos y fundamentalmente para acercarnos a los principales grupos de protistas y a algunos taxones en particular, exclusivos de las turberas del hemisferio austral.
Tal y como figura en la información que mostramos aquí, a la ceremonia de la sesión inaugural, que tendrá lugar el día 25 de abril a las 10h en el Auditorio de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales, seguirán en los días siguientes las actividades que se detallan en el programa, en las que esperamos que se cubran las expectativas generadas, del que posiblemente, sea el primer curso de estas características que se imparte en territorio chileno.
Agradecemos desde aquí una vez más al Profesor Rubén Carrillo, Director del Departamento de Ciencias Agronómicas y Recursos Naturales y al Decano de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales de la Universidad de La Frontera Sr. Edison Altamirano, el interés y la generosidad con la que han impulsado esta iniciativa, que fortalece los vínculos entre personas, instituciones como la UFRO y la EBI y países como Chile y España.

My return home from Pennsylvania required a stopover in Phoenix, Arizona. Remind me to never fly so far south when flying across the country -- going from Pittsburgh to San Francisco by way of a city near the Mexican border doesn't do anything to shorten your travel time.
On the flight from Phoenix to the Bay Area, I sat next to the most nervous flyer I've ever encountered. On the ground, she was friendly, conversational, ordinary. In the air, she was wild-eyed and terrified. When the plane hit turbulence, she'd cower into the wall next to her window seat. Sometimes she'd flail her arms or cover her face. Her hands shook. I'd never been around someone who was feeling such primal terror.
The weather was stormy in the Bay Area, and the landing approach was rough. Her convulsions reached a frenzy, and she turned to me and apologized. I put my hand on her arm. "It's okay. Just remember: this is safer than the car you're getting into when you land. It's the safest way to travel."
"I know. I'm trying." Then she looked at me. "My sister and her husband were killed in a plane crash."
Oh.
Nothing refutes statistics like experience. All I could do was sympathize and share a similar story. I'm not sure it helped, but at least we were on the ground by the time I was done.
Incredibly, my fearful flyer has to face her terror every two weeks. She likes to sit in the front of the plane, where she can watch the flight attendants when they're strapped into their takeoff and landing seats. "If they look nervous, then I know something's really wrong."
Every two weeks she faces the worst demons in her world. She stares down the scars of the past in order to make her way. I guess you can't ask more than that of anyone.
It's good to be home.

"It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing
Promise me some dignity
If I were to stand and die here
'Cause my heart is somewhere else
It's a pain I've never felt
Time's racing (Please slow down)
I got to find my way out
I'm hopeless (But hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now
'Cause I'm still breathing."
--"Still Breathing" by Mayday Parade

This is Russell Sweet. Some of you have seen him before in my photos. He's such a good model. I have so many pictures from today. I can't wait to share them.
This is part of a series. = ) Read the description on the set page.
Zoo - Barcelona (Spain).
The small sparrows strained themselves by the grate, they pecked the food of the parrots, and fled quickly.
Los pequeños gorriones se colaban por la reja, picoteaban la comida de los loros, y huían veloces.
ENGLISH
The White-fronted Amazon, Amazona albifrons also known as White-fronted Parrot, or adopted slang term Spectacled Amazon Parrot is a Central American species of parrot. Not to be confused with the Red-spectacled Amazon Parrot.
The White-fronted Amazon is relatively small when compared to other Amazons. At maturity this species will grow to a typical length of only nine to ten inches. This species is named for the bright white patch of feathers which is seen on their foreheads, although the amount of white varies from individual to individual. They have green plumage throughout, red coloring around their eyes (in some individuals almost like a mask) and blue coloring on their outspread wings and behind the patch of white on their foreheads. Unlike other amazon species, males and females can be distinguished by appearance (sexual dimorphism): males have bright red feathers on their shoulders (alula), while females have green shoulders. The species is divided into three subspecies, differentiated by slight colour differences: the White-fronted Amazon (A. a. albifrons), the Lesser White-fronted Amazon (A. a. nana) and the Sonora White-fronted Amazon (A. a. saltuensis). Like other large parrots, the White-fronted Parrot has a long life span, usually around 40 years when properly cared for. They also can imitate a range from 30 to 40 different sounds.

CASTELLANO
El loro frente blanca, frentiblanco, amazona frente blanca o cotorra (Amazona albifrons) es una especie de loro endémico de América Central.
A pesar de que el loro frente blanca tiene un tamaño promedio cuando se le compara al resto de los loros, es relativamente más pequeño cuando se le compara a otros pertenecientes al género Amazona. Esta especie se desarrolla hasta alcanzar, en la madurez, una talla típica de solo 22 a 25 cm. Recibe su nombre por la mancha blanca brillante que se le observa en la frente, a pesar de que la cantidad de blanco varía de un individuo a otro. Tienen plumaje verde en todo el cuerpo, con un anillo rojo alrededor de los ojos (en algunos individuos forma casi una “máscara”) y plumas azules visibles al desplegar las alas y detrás de la mancha blanca de la frente.
A diferencia de otras especies de amazonas, existe dimorfismo sexual (machos y hembras pueden ser diferenciados a simple vista): Los machos presentan plumas color rojo brillante en la alula, mientras que las hembras no la poseen o se distingue muy poco. Esta especie se divide en tres subespecies diferenciadas por cambios menores de color: el loro frente blanca (A. a. albifrons), El loro frente blanca menor (A. a. nana) y el loro frente blanca de Sonora (A. a. saltuensis). Como la mayoría de los loros mayores, el loro frente blanca tiene un período de vida bastante largo, comúnmente alrededor de 50 años o mas.

The fish market used to be one of the many places, where certain products where sold, in this case: Fish. Other markets are: the Butter market, the grain market and the turf market. On the fish market are small galleries, Safe for wind and rain, the sailsmen could lay their goods on the stone fish banks.
The fish market in Alkmaar, goes back to the 16th century. The wooden columns where replaced for stone pillars in 1755. Those where replaced for cast iron columns. The fish markets where held every Friday, up until 1998.
On the galleries roof, along the water, are a wooden and a natural stone statue, a fisher and a fish woman. The pump on the fish market dates from 1785, and was renewed in 1882. The grating of the waste pits, ar not made of iron, as usual, bus made of cupper. This was done, because of the biting effect from the fish waste on the grating.
Old bills proof, there already was a fishing bank in the 16th century. Trough the backdoors , the sweet waterfish, hanging in baskets, where kept fresh in the water behind the galleries. Ofcourse many things changed in the course of years. In 1755, the original wooden columns, where replaced for cast iron columns, during a renewal of de banks.
In Alkmaar staat een galerij waar vroeger vis verkocht werd. Hieronder konden de visverkopers beschut tegen weer en wind hun waren op stenen visbanken uitstallen.
Op het dak van de galerij langs het water staan een houten en een natuurstenen beeld; een visser en een visvrouw.
Uit oude rekeningen blijkt dat Alkmaar al in de 16e eeuw visbanken had. Via de deuren in de muur achter de visbanken werd de zoetwatervis, hangend in gevlochten korven, in het Verdronkenoord vers gehouden. Natuurlijk is er in de loop der eeuwen wel wat gewijzigd. Tijdens de vernieuwing van de banken in de 17de eeuw werden in 1755 de oorspronkelijk houten kolommen vervangen door stenen zuilen. De houten galerijen rusten nu op 19de-eeuwse gietijzeren kolommen. Op de kap van de gaanderij langs het water staan een houten en een natuurstenen beeld, die een visvrouw en een visser voorstellen.
De pomp, die blijkens de jaartalsteen uit 1785 dateert, werd in 1882 vernieuwd. Let u op de putroosters: in verband met het 'bijtende' visafval zijn in plaats van ijzeren roosters koperen exemplaren aangebracht. Tot in 1998 vond op de visbanken nog elke vrijdag de vismarkt plaats.
