Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says its right out of the blue
Do you went to work in debenhams, because thats what they expect
Start in lingerie, and doris is your supervisor
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the velvet underground in clay
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, youve got no appetite
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt
Youve been used, youre confused
Write a song, Ill sing along
Are you calm? settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
Youre on top of the world again
Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school
Mum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you?
Do you went to work in c&a, cause thats what they expect
Move to ladieswear and take a feel off joe the storeman
Tell veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
Shes got everything to gain cause shes a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
cause you cant afford a blazer and youre always wearing clogs
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Heed of english gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think youre doing?
Do you think youre better then the other kids? well get outside.
Youve got permission, but youve got to make the bastard think hes right

it has been an exhausting work week. i thought i'd spend the day out photographing but i got too lazy. hahaha. instead i took out an almost forgotten mini collection of Hummels and started photographing them. this figurine is very tiny (about one-inch tall) and it's actually part of a scene. i posted another shot below, but i like the simplicity of this one. hmmmm, i may have a mini series of this collection - don't worry, i only have a few of them. i believe what gave me the idea of photographing the tiny Hummels are those shots of Danbo and Anime toys which i've been seeing a lot lately.
215 days to go before my next trip to the Philippines.

Well it looks like I will be moving out of the Bay Area and it's looking more and more likely I will be returning to the foothills near Yosemite. We are excited about it but man I hate moving so I decided to bum this one back up on my photostream. This is one of my first and still most popular shots. Can't wait to be back in the woods.
If you have chosen to enter Yosemite from the south entrance along Highway 41 you will first get a few fleeting glimpses around the bends of the Valley that will cause you to wonder if what you just saw was real. It seems too big, too distant. Surely your eyes are just playing tricks on you. The trees will quickly obscure your view and you will drive along directly into the face of the mountains via Yosemite's longest tunnel. Because it's such a long tunnel and you may begin to relax but grip the wheel tight as you approach the exit for the view you are about to see will wrench your eyes from the road in disbelief!
There is good reason for the flashing yellow light warning you to slow. Suddenly before you lies an impossibly massive scene of snow topped granite towers, soaring waterfalls and pristine forests. Possibly the most photographed icon of nature lies before you an impossible view simply called Inspiration Point though some refer to it as the tunnel view. A "U" shaped glacier valley lies a thousand feet below you. To the left of the image, the impressive, largest single piece of exposed granite called El Capitan is the most dominate object in Yosemite Valley. Early explorers, unable to believe their eyes, estimated the rock at only 900ft above the valley floor. They simply could not fathom it's real height. Modern measurements eventually put it well over three times that height at nearly 3000 feet above Yosemite Valley. To the right, a towering waterfall whipped by the blowing winds in the narrow canyon appropriately named Bridal Veil Falls. While not the tallest, it is definitely one of the more beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite. In the far distance, another seemingly impossible large chunk of granite cut in half by the glaciers appropriately named Half Dome rises above the valley. But it's not over yet, you have only begun the start of a dream like drive that will take you all the way up the valley past numerous waterfalls, the meandering Merced River and lead you to Yosemite Falls which will makes Bridal Veil Falls look like a tiny trickle of water. If you are a photographer, you could easily spend your day at the entrance as the scene will change by the minute, especially in winter, but push on, as there is much to see.
Winter and early spring in Yosemite are a quiet time and possibly the best for photography if you don't mind driving on cliff walls in the snow. The summer crowds have yet to arrive. The campgrounds are empty and except for a few cars driving though the valley the roads are clear. And though you may stick to the outhouse seats there are few drawbacks to visiting during this time of year provided you bring the proper gear for you and your car. If you can, plan your visits to coincide with the breaking of a winter storm. Yosemite staff are good at keeping the roads open and you have a good chance of getting the proper conditions for some stunning photography as the clouds break. I spent 5 years of my life living just outside the park. My only regret is that digital photography was only in its infancy at the time.

Feeling down, alone, and empty inside,
Decisions to make, but can't decide,
Hurt from pain of a broken heart,
Days go on as if they are dark,
Looking for happiness, the light to return,
My soul feels empty, deceptive, a burn.
~ Vince Milford
Making this photo I had many different meanings in mind. Then I found this poem and it really solidified the connection I saw in both.
I went into the woods one day to location scout and found this tree had fallen. It was large and it took me by surprise. How did I not hear it fall as it tumbled to the ground? What was its cause of death? Something so grand which towered over me now lies broken upon the ground I walk; its limbs which once reached towards Heaven now dig into the earth
It's ironic how this correlates with people - keeping to themselves, not speaking a word, until it is too late.
Once upon a time Courtney and Ashlie randomly started talking on myspace. they were both sad because they just recently lost their bestfriends because people suck. They started talking and realized they had lots in common so Ashlie was all like "Hey let's be bestfriends!" and courtney was all like "ok!" and they were bestfriends. Then they talked on the phone and stuff every day. One day Ashlie called Courtney and told her to come over and watch Twilight and she did! They hung out and were the bestest friends ever! But one day, the evil ecomony made Ashlie move to Kansas! Courtney cried and cried and the last day they saw eachother was the day this picture was taken. Courtney and Ashlie still talk almost every day. They can't wait for Ashlie to move back to Ohio so they can get an apartment together and be bestfriends again.
I love you Ashlie!
Pink hair, that's meee (:
I gave her that necklace,
she gave me that headband, which I still have!
In all size is better!

A group of 15 Sandhill Cranes are coming into the river region to roost on the sandbars at night! By staying on the sandbars they are protected from predators by the surrounding waters!
Nothing speaks to me more of the upcoming Earth Day than the annual migration of the Sandhill Cranes that moves into Nebraska in the early Spring! This is the second photo from my recent trip to view this wonderful show from Mother Nature!
One of the great wildlife spectacles in North America begins in mid-February, as hundreds of thousands of Sandhill Cranes arrive along the Platte River between Kearney and Grand Island, Nebraska.
Sandhill Cranes are among the oldest living birds on the planet. Fossil records place cranes in Nebraska more than nine million years ago, long before there was a Platte River, which by comparison, is a youthful 10,000 years of age.
Their numbers build throughout March and peak about St. Patrick's Day. All the cranes stay within an 80 mile wide stretch of river at the Platte and start leaving for their breeding grounds in Canada, Alaska and Siberia in early April. As many as a quarter million cranes may be present at one time, and during the spring, about half a million will stop on the river.
Individual birds spend about 29 days in the area. They forage on corn left over from the previous year and eat earthworms and snails as well. Each bird gains a pound of fat — fuel for the remainder of its migration.
Many Many Thanks for all your support my flickr Friends!!!

En el Gobierno nacional amenazan a Mauricio Macri con responder a sus reclamos para que les traslade la jurisdicción sobre el Transporte en la Ciudad, con entregarle el Subte, pero sin los 400 millones de subsidios. Lo concreto es que más allá de las chicanas, acordaron crear una comisión que por 60 días evalúe y trate de acordar los temas en discusión. El Paseo del Bicentenario que reclamó Cristina.

Texto: Por Ignacio Fidanza para La Politica Online.
“Si querés el Subte no hay problema, te lo damos ya, pero sin los subsidios”, cruzó al jefe de Gobierno porteño un ministro, en la reunión que mantuvo con la presidenta Cristina Kirchner, el ministro del Interior Florencio Randazzo y el jefe de Gabinete, Aníbal Fernández.
Como era previsible Macri se negó, pero la idea quedó rebotando en los principales despachos de Bolívar 1. Es que todas las líneas del subte porteño, que opera Metrovías, reciben un subsidio anual de unos 400 millones de pesos. Si se les quitara este auxilio la tarifa pasaría de $ 1,10 a 2,45 mínimo.
Pero en el gobierno porteño hay quienes se entusiasman con la idea y –halcones de la popularidad ajena- hasta se arriesgan a proponer una tarifa de $ 3, para hacer obras. No es poco dinero. El Subte mueve 1,5 millones de personas por día, a 50 personas por pasajeros por día, no cuesta imaginar la masa de dinero que rápidamente Macri podría conseguir para empezar a cumplir su promesa de extender la red de subtes, y que hoy le traba la Nación. El costo político de triplicar la tarifa es obvio.
“Esto tiene dos lecturas, sería una jugada demasiado audaz, no es del estilo de Macri. Pero un político transgresor podría aceptar los subtes sin subsidio, subir las tarifas, hacer las obras y quizás termina de Presidente”, arriesgó un experimentado operador del sector del Transporte.
En el gobierno nacional también hay halcones y palomas en este asunto. Medio en serio medio en broma, algunos proponer “tirarle el Subte por la cabeza a Macri”, sin subsidios, y luego que el jefe de Gobierno se vea obligado a subir la tarifa; hacer lo propio con colectivos y trenes de manera de empezar a aligerar la cada vez más insostenible carga fiscal de la montaña de subsidios que armó Ricardo Jaime.
Frente a esta posición, sectores mas moderados proponen ir aligerando por motus propio la carga de subsidios, de manera consensuada con Macri, combinándolo con graduales aumentos de tarifa, hasta llegar a un mix de tarifa y subsidios que sea aceptable para el jefe de Gobierno y ahí sí concretar la transferencia.
En esta línea se inscribe la decisión de crear una comisión mixta entre el gobierno nacional y el porteño, para intentar acordar en el término de 60 días la mayoría de los temas de competencias que enfrentan a ambas jurisdicciones, entre ellos el Subte.
Por parte del Gobierno de la Ciudad participarán de esta negociación que se está empezando a delinear, el jefe de Gabinete Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, y el ministro de Desarrollo Urbano, Daniel Chaín, del otro lado del mostrador lo esperará un viejo conocido, el actual secretario de Transporte, Juan Pablo Schiavi.

This lovely sculpture is by the muse of Rodin, Camille Claudel. It has been widely described as a minor masterpiece and was conceived and executed while she and Rodin were lovers, though the affair ended badly and was a tragic foretelling of her future life. There was a beautiful orchestral piece of the same name written some 30 years later that expresses the piece quite well, though there is no link or view of any connected inspiration.
La Valse, un poème choréographique (a choreographic poem), is an orchestral work written by Maurice Ravel In his tribute to Ravel after the composer's death in 1937, Paul Landormy described the work as follows:
"....the most unexpected of the compositions of Ravel, revealing to us heretofore unexpected depths of Romanticism, power, vigor, and rapture in this musician whose expression is usually limited to the manifestations of an essentially classical genius".

Chilodonella es un ciliado de pequeño tamaño representado por varias especies tanto de agua dulce como salada repartidas por todo el Planeta. Se incluyen entre éstas formas de vida libre y de alimentación omnívora, pero también un reducido número de parásitas que pueden causar enfermedades en los peces o en las larvas de algunos mosquitos.
Chilodonella se caracteriza por su pico redondeado y por tener un aparato bucal en forma de canasta, como Nassula, con el que aspiran, pequeños restos orgánicos, algas y bacterias. La canasta que constituye la faringe de este ciliado está formada por una varillas que forman un cilindro. Éste se abre por la parte ventral para estar en contacto con el fondo sobre el que Chilodonella se desplaza. Cada una de las varillas que forman esta canasta finaliza engrosándose en una pequeña cabeza que es móvil y que permite a Chilodonella manipular su alimento.
Sobre el aparato bucal de Chilodonella se sitúa una sutura oblicua que se extiende hasta el extremo del pico y que está constituida por una barrera ciliada. La parte ventral de Chilodonella es plana y está recorrida por varias hileras de cilios, la dorsal está abultada formando una pequeña joroba que se aplasta en la porción anterior y presenta líneas cruzadas con otros cilios muy cortos que se disponen en sus inmediaciones y en la zona de la periferia.
Algunas especies de Chilodonella como Chilodonella cyprini viven en el agua dulce y parasitan las células epiteliales de algunos peces, haciendo que su piel pierda brillo y cause posteriormente graves ulceraciones. Otras, como Chilodonella uncinata pueden causar infecciones mortales en las larvas de algunos mosquitos del género Culex y Anopheles, que viven en humedales, fundamentalmente arrozales y zonas pantanosas del continente asiático y que como vectores de virus transmiten al hombre, entre otras, enfermedades como la encefalitis japonesa.
El desarrollo de Chilodonella uncinata en las regiones en las que la encefalitis japonesa es una enfermedad endémica, podría ser un buen mecanismo del control de la enfermedad al limitar la proliferación de los mosquitos que son sus vectores de transmisión.
Chilodonella procede de una muestra de agua recogida en un pequeño arroyo en las inmediaciones de Mahíde, en la comarca zamorana de Aliste y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

A zoomed 400mm telephoto' shot, taken from West Kirby beach with Hilbre Island to the right and the Point of Ayr on the Welsh coast to the left !
Shot in Raw with a daylight setting when it should have been sunny the whole image has been ' cooled ' down ! Just increased the contrast and added shadow ~ I like it, and I'm here to share it, but it is all subjective !
The two f*****g a*******s, in an attepmt to get to the island, despite warning signs saying not to cross at this point, walked right thro' all the feeding, wading birds, constantly disturbing them as they did so !
A few minutes after this shot was taken the couple were removed from the beach by a Ranger in a Land-Rover and taken to the correct starting point for crossing to the island a mile or so away ! Chatting to him a couple of hours later on my way home, he just shook his head saying the couple were completely indifferent to the birds plight and never even bothered to then cross to the island !

Excerpt from www.lecinqueterre.org/eng/arte/manasanlorenzo.php:
The parish church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary is commonly referred to as the church of San Lorenzo, patron saint of the town, celebrated every 10 August. The building dates back to 1338, as indicated by the plaque placed on the right side of the façade, and is a work in Ligurian Gothic style by the Antelami Masters.
The façade has a portal with an ogival arch and a lunette with bas-relief depicting the Martyrdom of San Lorenzo. The 1375 Carrara marble rose window is decorated with twelve small columns with foliated capitals and an external crown adorned with human and lion heads. The work is attributed to the authors of the rose window of San Pietro in Corniglia, Matteo and Pietro da Campilio. The fourteenth-century bell tower, with a square plan, separated from the church, was obtained from an ancient watchtower and was therefore raised and spiked.
The basilica-style interior with three naves is Baroque with a barrel vault, although a late 20th-century restoration has partially restored the original Gothic forms. Upon entering, on the left there is the baptismal font, against which an ancient marble measure with the coat of arms of the Republic of Genoa and the words "Comunitas Manarolae" is placed. In the window aisle, at the end, a Renaissance tabernacle with bas-relief of the fifteenth century is beautifully displayed, while on the apsidal wall of the central nave there is a crucifix of the fifteenth century.
The most important works of art are, at the main altar, a 14th century triptych depicting the Madonna and Child with Saints Lorenzo, Catherine of Alexandria and two other saints and in the left aisle a triptych with a gold background, belonging to the sanctuary of Our Lady of Health of Volastra, which in the central compartment represents San Lorenzo and, in the side panels, the Saints Antonio Abate and Bernardo. The latter has a rectangular frame divided into three parts by twisted columns supporting scalloped arches. San Lorenzo is dressed in a green dalmatic holding a book and the palm of martyrdom, with the grill at his feet.
Both works are attributed to the Master of the Cinque Terre.

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.
# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.
# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).
# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.
# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.
# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.
# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.
La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.
Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.
El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.
La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.
The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.
# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.
# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).
# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.
# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.
# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.
# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.
The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.
Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.
On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.
The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

Here are a few more pic of yesterday's jump. It was fabulous and I will describe it more once I have got over the post jump Party :-) Thank you for all your donations. I'm keeping the site open for another few months in case anyone else would like to donate.

A lagoon is a body of saline water that is partially separated from the adjacent sea and which keeps a proportion of saltwater at low tide. As well as providing an important habitat for seabirds, waterfowl and marshland birds, lagoons also contain unique invertebrates and specialist plants which make this type of habitat important to the UK’s overall biodiversity.
37 acres of littoral land and saline lagoons was purchased by the Society in 1991, with assistance from English Nature (now Natural England), after almost four years of fundraising and negotiations with the land owner. This area lies immediately south of a 33 acre area, which includes Easington Lagoon, which is owned by the Environment Agency and leased to the Society. A further 22 acres of land to the direct south of the Lagoons was purchased in 2000. This package of land is know as Beacon Lagoons, though has also variously been known as Beacon Ponds, Kilnsea Lagoons and Easington Lagoons. It was initially purchased primarily because of the Society’s interest in the little tern colony situated there.
The BLNR contains a variety of coastal habitats including sand dunes, shingle, salt marsh, saline lagoons and pools. The site is situated on the Holderness coast, 2km north of the Spurn peninsula and south-west of the village of Easington. It holds SSSI designation and is a potential SPA and a proposed Ramsar site because it comprises a variety of important features including:
· Its saline lagoons, which are a UK priority Annex 1 habitat under the EC ‘Habitats Directive’
· Its importance for its colony of over 1% of the British breeding population of little terns on its shingle beach and as a feeding and roosting site for important numbers of migratory birds
· Lagoons are included as a priority feature under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan
· Plants and animals which are either mainly or entirely restricted to a lagoonal habitat. These species include flora and fauna protected under schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).
The SHCS is responsible for the management of the BLNR, with the Spurn Bird Observatory involved in the organisation of the Little Tern Protection Scheme. A Tern warden (kindly funded by BP Exploration) is employed during the breeding season to help protect the birds against predation and from the accidental intrusion of beach users.
The water in the lagoons is strongly saline but not tidal, though storm surges may occasionally temporarily connect the lagoons with the sea. These breaches introduce marine organisms that may survive in the lagoons for several years. There is also an area of non-tidal salt marsh and some low dunes.
The main threat to the flora and fauna of the lagoons is the erosion of the beach by the North Sea and by the rise in sea levels. This ultimately threatens the site with ‘coastal squeeze’ whereby the lagoons will become tidal, eventually eliminating them altogether. It is expected the southern addition will eventually acquire a similar aspect to the present lagoons, which will prolong the life of the habitat and its associated flora and fauna.
Some vulnerable plant species such as Divided Sedge (Carex divisa) and Saltwort (Salsola Kali) occur here, along with Spiral Tasselweed (Ruppia cirrhosa) which is close to qualifying as a threatened species in the near future, and Sea Wormwood (Seriphidium maritimum) which is an Internationally important species.
Invertebrates characteristic of such lagoons as these are found here. Species include the mollusc Ventrosia ventrosa, the crustaceans Palaemonetes varians and Idotea chelipes, and the bryozoans Conopeum seurati. These are just a small example of the many different species in the lagoons.

"Never speak to a woman about her defects; many a lover has had occasion to congratulate himself on having observed this very profitable reticence. The wingèd-footed hero, Perseus, never found fault with Andromeda for her swarthy skin. Andromache was, in everyone's opinion, far too tall; Hector was the only one who considered her of the average height. Accustom yourself to the things you don't like; you'll learn to put up with them; habit makes a lot of things acceptable. At first, Love will be put off by the merest trifle. A freshly-grafted branch that is just beginning to draw the sap.
from the green bark will fall off if the slightest breath of wind disturbs it; but if you give it time to grow strong, it will soon resist the winds and, developing into a sturdy branch, enrich the tree that bears it with its alien fruit. Time effaces everything, even bodily defects, and what we once looked upon as blemishes will one day cease to seem so. At first, our nostrils cannot bear the smell of the hides of bulls; they grow used to it in time and bear it without distress.
Moreover, there are words you can employ to palliate defects. If a woman's skin is blacker than Illyrian pitch, tell her she's a brunette. If she squints a little, tell her she's like Venus. If she's carroty, tell her she's like Minerva. If she's so skinny you would think she was at death's door, tell her she has a graceful figure. If she's short, so much the better, she's all the lighter. If she's thick-waisted, why she's just agreeably plump. Similarly, you must disguise every defect under the name of its nearest quality. Never ask her how old she is, or who was consul when she was born. Leave it to the Censor to perform that uncomfortable duty, especially if she has passed the flower of her youth, if the summer of her days is over, and if she is already compelled to pull out her grey hairs. My young friends, that age, and even an older one than that, is not without its pleasures. It is a field that you should sow and one day You will reap your harvest. Labour while your strength and your youth allow. All too soon tottering eld, with noiseless tread, will be upon you. Cleave the waters of the ocean with your oar, or the glebe with your slough; wield with warlike arm the deadly sword, or devote to women your vigour and your care. ’Tis but another kind of military service, and in it, too, rich trophies may be won.
Nor should it be forgotten that women, who are getting on in years, have experience, and it is only experience that sets the seal of perfection on our natural."
Unfortunately this english translation of Ovid's ars amandi by y J. Lewis May in year 1930 is very victorian, epurated of every reference to sex. Here he talks about woman's defects instead of translating it "Believe me you must not accelerate to get the extreme pleasure". Mr. Puritan lives just in another world!

I swear I must be medically unstable or something, my stream is like a jumble or different crazy people all thrown together!
We managed to find a beach this evening and watched the sun set over the mountains, I think it has to be up there with one of the most stunning views I've ever seen. Sadly, it didn't entirely distract me from the fact that there was almost a foot of snow in places behind me and I had my feet in freezing water :P
The weather was amazing today, starting to wish I could ditch England and it's lovely rain :P I seem to be permanently boiling at the moment so am skiing in a tshirt, oh and the tomato tone facial state is getting increasingly worse :/ I'm going to have to start doing bw photos soon or something haha
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend :)
Find Me:
I know I said I am coming to the end of my Old Tukai Elephant series but I just realised there are a few more shots I would like to share here. I think I am experiencing some kind of inertia about moving over to other animals. I still have tons of photos I like and would love to upload, but I find myself transfixed by the elephants. And Amboseli skies. Does this happen to you guys? Do any of you think back to a particular photo adventure and find it difficult to move on from it?
This photo was in my deleted pile for the longest time as I didn’t like the way the elephants are spaced out, but when I looked at it yesterday night I fell in love with it. This photo is perhaps the most moody of all my Ol Tukai photos; the swirling rain clouds and the solemn elephants present an almost stoic picture. And I love the way their tusks always seem to glow in against their dark skin. Ironic isn’t it, their most impressive asset is also their most cursed

ENGLISH
Castel Nuovo (English: "New Castle"), often called Maschio Angioino is a medieval castle located in front of Piazza Municipio and the city hall (Palazzo San Giacomo) in central Naples, Campania, Italy. Its scenic location and imposing size makes the castle, first erected in 1279, one of the main architectural landmarks of the city. It was a royal seat for kings of Naples, Aragon and Spain until 1815.
It is the headquarters of Neapolitan Society of Homeland History and of the Naples Committee of the Institute for the History of the Italian Risorgimento. In the complex there is also the civic museum, which includes the Palatine Chapel and the museum paths on the first and second floors.

ESPAÑOL
El Castel Nuovo (Castillo Nuevo), conocido popularmente como Maschio Angioino (Torreón angevino), es un castillo medieval italiano construido en la ciudad de Nápoles.
Su edificación data de la época de Carlos de Anjou, quien tras su ascenso al trono de los reinos de Nápoles y Sicilia en 1266 trasladó la capital desde Palermo a Nápoles; a pesar de que ya existían en la ciudad el Castel dell'Ovo y el Castel Capuano, Carlos dispuso la elección de otro castillo donde albergar su corte. En 1279 comenzaron las obras de construcción bajo la dirección del arquitecto francés Pierre de Chaule, siendo terminado al cabo de tres años el castillo. Debido a las revueltas ocurridas durante las vísperas sicilianas, el castillo permaneció deshabitado hasta 1285, cuando fue ocupado por Carlos II de Anjou.
En 1294 fue escenario de la abdicación del papa Celestino V y la elección de su sucesor Bonifacio VIII; bajo el reinado de Roberto I de Nápoles (1309-1343) el castillo fue ampliado y embellecido. En 1347 fue saqueado por las tropas de Luis I de Hungría y hubo de ser restaurado antes del regreso de Juana I de Nápoles.
Durante el reinado de Alfonso V de Aragón, de la dinastía aragonesa, fue reforzado para resistir el batir de la nueva artillería, en desarrollo en aquellas fechas. En esa época se construyó el arco triunfal de la puerta principal.
El castillo fue nuevamente atacado en 1494 por las tropas francesas de Carlos VIII durante la primera guerra de Nápoles, y en 1503 por las fuerzas españolas de Pedro Navarro, bajo las órdenes de Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, durante la segunda guerra de Nápoles. Con la anexión de Nápoles a la corona de Aragón en la condición de virreinato en 1504, el castillo perdió su función de residencia real, que no recuperaría hasta 1734, cuando Carlos VII de Nápoles (más tarde, Carlos III de España) tomase posesión del trono napolitano.

ENGLISH
The Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known as the Robust Chimpanzee, is a great ape. The name troglodytes, Greek for 'cave-dweller', was coined by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in his Handbuch der Naturgeschichte (Handbook of Natural History) published in 1779. Colloquially, it is often called the chimpanzee (or simply 'chimp'), though technically this term refers to both species in the genus Pan: the Common Chimpanzee and the closely-related Bonobo, or Pygmy Chimpanzee.
Common Chimpanzees are found in the tropical forests and wet savannas of Western and Central Africa. They once inhabited most of this region, but their habitat has been dramatically reduced in recent years.
Human and Common Chimpanzee DNA is very similar. The DNA sequence differences between humans and chimpanzees is about thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. Typical human and chimp protein homologs differ in only an average of two amino acids. About 30% of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein. Duplications of small parts of chromosomes have been the major source of differences between human and chimp genetic material; about 2.7% of the corresponding modern genomes represent differences, produced by gene duplications or deletions, during the approximately four to six million years since humans and chimps diverged from their common evolutionary ancestor.

CASTELLANO
El chimpancé común (Pan troglodytes) es una especie perteneciente a los grandes simios. Los chimpancés son los parientes más cercanos al ser humano; su rama evolutiva se separó de la rama de los humanos hace aproximadamente 7 millones de años y comparten el 96% del ADN con ellos, lo que ha llevado a Jared Diamond a utilizar el término "el tercer chimpancé" para referirse a nuestra propia especie.
Podemos encontrar chimpancés en las selvas tropicales y sabanas húmedas de África central y occidental. Solían habitar la mayor parte de esta región, pero su hábitat ha sido drásticamente reducido en los últimos años.
Los chimpancés adultos pueden medir hasta 130 cm (hembras) y 160 cm (machos), y los adultos pesan entre 40 y 70 kg, aunque poseen una fuerza muy superior a la humana. Sus cuerpos están cubiertos por un pelaje grueso de color marrón oscuro, con excepción del rostro, dedos, palmas de la mano y plantas del pie. Tanto sus pulgares como el dedo grande del pie son oponibles, permitiendo un agarre preciso. La gestación del chimpancé dura ocho meses. Las crías son destetadas aproximadamente a la edad de tres años, pero generalmente mantienen una relación cercana con su madre por varios años más. La pubertad es alcanzada a la edad de ocho a diez años y su esperanza de vida es de 50 años en cautiverio.

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.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Some great clouds appeared over the area today, so after work I decided they looked good enough to climb down the cliff to the Davenport Pier. At the top, there used to be a big cement slab that jutted over the top of the cliff and you would have to duck under it as you climbed down. Someone sawed it off since the last time I was there. I'm not sure why, but there's that much less to grab onto at the top. There's just a piece of rebar and a hunk of rail now.
If you want to shoot here, take my advice and bring at least 50 feet of rope. You can tie it off on a pipe at the top of the cliff and throw it down the "trail" so you have something to grab onto. Almost no one ever goes down the "trail", so there's no convenient foot or handholds. And what you grab onto is just as likely to come off in your hand as not. If you fall, you'll be in pretty bad shape. If you're lucky. It's a long way down.
Once I got down to the beach, conditions were excellent, unlike the last time I shot here, when the surf had me on the run. It was very peaceful with the surf only reaching the base of the first pier from time to time. As the sun set, I thought there would be a lot of color. It didn't quite turn out as I had hoped. There was some nice color, but it was fairly muted.
I started out with a couple of long exposures, of which this is the best.
I'll post one or two regular exposures later on, I think.

Wherever we go in the world, it is especially the sea that attracts us most.
We're always drawn to the harbouur, not to admire the big luxury yachts, no, the fishing harbour, the working boats, the people, the different methods they use.
The netting depends obviously on the type of catch they fish for. The majority of rigged nets are made to order, allowing fishermen to have exactly the right net for their needs.
Here, in England and the North, the size of the mesh is often bigger than what we saw here in Spain.
I fell in love with this scene when I saw it!
The colours, aahh, everything!
Of course I took a whole selection, this is only the first one.
I am going to continue with our 'days in Spain', right now, I have to do other things...
Thank you for your comments and time.
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thanx, M, (*_*)

Fall colours at Deer Lake in Burnaby near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: Fall is my favourite season and that season starts tomorrow! I am so excited and can't wait for the leaves to change colours soon. In the mean time I will share a photo I took last year around mid October at beautiful Deer Lake in Burnaby near Vancouver. This place is only about 10-15 minute drive from my place, so I will be checking it out over there frequently and hope that the colours will be as vibrant this year as well.

Some information on Deer Lake Park: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Deer Lake is a relaxing 5 kilometre/3 mile walk around an urban lake just outside of Vancouver. The walking trail around the lake is good any time of year and is very popular with dog walkers in and around Burnaby. Trails in the park lead to a kids playground, washrooms, a boat launch and picnic tables. In the summer months Deer Lake Boat Rentals offers canoe, kayak and pedal boat rentals. Gas or electric motors are not allowed on this lake.
Deer Lake is also home to the Burnaby Art Gallery, Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Burnaby Village Museum and Century Gardens. The Burnaby Art Gallery manages the City of Burnaby's permanent art collection while the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is a multi-purpose community arts facility providing public exhibitions, performances, festivals and art classes. The Burnaby Village Museum depicts life in the area from the 1920's. They have reconstructed 31 full scale buildings over 10 acres, with staff in costumes like in the 1920's.
Deer Lake Park is a great place for outdoor activities and cultural life in Burnaby. Whether you want to visit an art gallery or see an outdoor concert, Deer Lake Park is the place you will find it. Your kids will love the park for the beach, the playground, the water activities and the Burnaby Village Museum. In the summer months the park comes alive with outdoor concerts and lake activities and in the off season it is a relaxing park to go for a quiet walk around the scenic trails.
[scritto nella mia agenda, il 21 marzo, mentre aspettavo con marcello davanti ai cancelli, l'apertura della seconda data]
AC/DC per la seconda volta, ad accompagnare gli stati d’animo un po’ assopiti dalla stanchezza, in un futuro molto prossimo largamente ripagati.
Il 19, prima cazzo di data, dopo una giornata stesa al sole, tremante, fremente, AGITATA sono corsa, una FOLLE CORSA sugli scalini verso l’inferno, AC/DC pensavo, e correvo sugli scalini, li facevo a 3 a 3, a 4 a 4, nessuno mi fermava, i muscoli fremevano e io andavo sempre più forte con un solo unico pensiero in testa; finiti gli scalini in salita, per una frazione di secondo ho visto il mondo dall’alto e ho un gridato un “CAZZO!!!” VENUTO DAL CUORE, MA NON C’ERA TEMPO, SONO RIPARTITA, le gambe vibravano, ho rischiato di cadere ed essere travolta, ma no, non è successo…ho corso, madonna se ho corso, vista la passerella e sorpassata, “L’ANGOLO TRA BRIAN E ANGUS era vuoto…SIIIIII, non ci credevo, ero lì, cazzo ero lì, butto la borsa, mi giro e vedo manu che correndo mi raggiunge, subito dietro Stè, C’ERAVAMO TUTTE!! Buttiamo le borse e urliamo gioia, lo staff guarda, capisce e sorride…CI SONO...mi chino sulla transenna, di spalle al resto delle persone che arrivavano stremate, mi chino e il pensiero va ad angelo, indosso avevo la sua maglietta, scendono due lacrime, sono forte, mi sonto forte, mi alza, SONO IN PRIMISSIMA FILA! Davanti ai miei occhi un maestoso ma umano palco, tutti i giochi degli AC/DC erano in fila pronti a essere usati, pronti ad essere acclamati, tutti gli show sono pronti ad accadere.
alle 8 in punto cominciano i "The Answer", un miscuglio tra Led Zeppelin ed AC/DC, bravi, da approfondire, ma vogliamo gli ac/dc....ok, ci siamo!
BUIO, si urla, nessuno si trattiene...nel megaschermo parte un'animazione con Angus sopra il "rock'n'roll train" che getta carbone per far andare più veloce, getta adrenalina....continua il video malizioso alla AC/DC, splendido!!
ESCONO....è IL DELIRIO...cominciano con "ROCK'N'ROLL TRAIN", poi, dopo "HELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE", si sente ta, tadada tadada, ta, tadada, tadada...BACK IN BLACKKKKKKK....a seguire Big Jack, bellissima dell'ultimo disco...e poi OI OI OI OI .....DIRTY DEEDS Done Dirt Cheap....SPLENDIDA DOSE DI ADRENALINAAA...mamma mia e pi l'assolo di Thunderstruck...non ci potevo credere, mani alzate e urla, mi provenivano dal fegato, non era la mia voce, non sentivo la mia voce, era Thunderstruck, la stavano facendo mio dio!!!
in "The Jack" mi hanno inquadrato nel megaschermo... ;) e poi ecco che cala la campana dell'inferno, tutti capiamo, tutti urliamo, urla disumane e il salto di quel quasi sessantaduenne che finisce sulla corda della campana, favoloso, esaltante...Hells Bells....
Hanno fatto T.N.T. ....la mia mente ora si stà annebbiando, non riesco a ricordare, a raccontare in modo lineare, mi emoziono, mi agito, tremo ancora, T.N.T. si...oddio non ho parole per descriverla, poi ROSIE, poi Let There Be Rock....breve, brevissima pausa per poi vedere fumo sul palco, tanto fumo e un piccolo Angus completo di corna salire da sotto il palco con la sua Diavoletto pronta a sbraitare...Highway to Hell....ceee...non si può immaginare esperienza migliore...infine per saluto ci regalano i cannoni con "For Those About to Rock We Salute You"...non ho piu parole, il ri-raccontare tutto mi ha fatto esaurire le poche forze rimaste...
Lo spogliarello, la pedana che si alza con Angus che rotola dentro imponendo un assolo maestoso...oddio oddio, le mie aspettative erano altissime ma loro le hanno superate travolgendo ogni cosa...
MI SONO VISTA GLI AC/DC....sono riuscita anche a prendere il plettro di Angus e la scaletta...mio dio, non ci credo ancora....

Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda
'Cause you can
Can be a cruel fella
So okay, then I just back off
The vanilla
Think of me as programmable soda
'cause I've come
I've come to accept that
For lovelies you are a fanatic
But I can't
I can't let that throw me
Into a genital panic
Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda
When you think
And boy when you drink
When you think of me

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!!

Yellow ragwort, light green lichen on rocks, and white blossoms of red diamorpha: native and endemic spring flora on a granite monadnock.

▶ "Once part of a quarry, Arabia Mountain is now protected as part of the Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. This otherworldly rock outcrop is a monadnock, a geologic formation that has seen the ground around it erode. Arabia Mountain also contains a variety of rare and endangered plants, such as diamorpha, which grows in the fragile solution pit ecosystems that appear on the rock face."
— Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance.
▶ "Stone cutters especially appreciated Arabia Mountain for the unique quality of its granite (a mix of granite and gneiss referred as 'migmatite'), known for its high density, colorfastness, and attractive appearance. When it formed deep below the surface of the Earth, bands of light and dark minerals twisted to create distinctive swirls that broke the stone’s granular appearance, giving it the fitting name, 'Tidal grey' "
