Pollia crispata at Marowin Brook Road. A moist section of the seldom used track, surrounded by sub tropical rainforest. (Pollia is the ground level herb). The tree reaching out from the right is the Sandpaper Fig (Ficus coronata).
The 1:25,000 Tinebank sheet shows a small lake on Marowin Brook at 700 metres above sea level. Two of my friends and I decided to find it. However, it doesn't exist. (It was a joke by a cartographer). Instead we found a magnificent tall rainforest.
There is a rocky outcrop at 700 metres, but no sign of the lake. According to the Tinebank sheet, the lake is 130 metres long and 45 metres wide.
Tallowwood trees were recorded at great heights here. In the 1980s Forester Hopkinson and Forester Aldred reported trees here at 71, 72 and 81 metres tall.
On the edges of the rainforest were large Blackbutt trees, around 60 metres tall, as well as Brush Box, shorter though very thick at the base.
We found several giant Tallowwood trees, some marked with red tape. The real height of these trees is near impossible to measure, as the top of the trees is not visible through the rainforest under-story.
Walking up the gully the previous January was not successful, the terrain was steep and awkward, we averaged half a kilometre per hour. The Walking Stick Palms were excellent to grab hold of, however. This later trip, we started from the ridge. The descent and return was easier.
The previous January we attempted to walk up to the big trees, as directed by Forestry. They said "follow the red tape". Forestry workers had put a lot of tape on low plants en route to the big trees. This was OK, except the Walking Stick Palms were in fruit. The reddish/orange fruit were everywhere, and the trail of red tape was camouflaged in so much hanging red.
It didn't really matter, we just followed Marowin Brook. Just climbed the gully, until my companion panicked, went irrational in the forest. He couldn't handle it, so we abandoned the quest.
Later in September, I had another companion. He was expert at map and compass navigation. We drove through bushfires to get to the starting point, west of the mountain ridge. We had to drive off-road to avoid a burning log which blocked the road. He got out of the car, pushed branches out of the way. Eventually the car roughed it up back to the track.
On the top ridge was a line of New England Blackbutt. Wind damaged, fire scarred veterans. Trees of a huge base, with alive and dead branches. These ridge top guardians were about 30 metres tall. On the western fall of the ridge was dry eucalyptus forest with many tall Grass Trees.
On the east of the ridge, a dense temperate rainforest abruptly appeared, with many Coachwood up top. Further down it was sub-tropical rainforest. No Coachwood below, a taller forest with buttressed roots, palms and many epiphytes.
The rainforest proper (as photographed) was about 40 metres tall, consisting of Yellow Carabeen, Rosewood, Black Booyong, Brush Box, Soft Corkwood, Stinging Tree & Citronella. The previous trip saw the rainforest floor near covered in Christmas Orchids.
The giant eucalyptus at Marowin Brook appeared bigger than the "Grandis Tree", down near Bulahdelah.

Blue-winged Teal, Anas discors, Los Osos, California. Here's a little poll: should i have photoshopped out the out-of-focus teal in the background? Or is it ok as is? Or not bothered to post this picture at all? The out-of-focus teal was far enough behind the one in front that I did not have enough depth of field to render both sharp, so I went back and forth wondering whether to post this picture at all. What say you, flickrites?
Esta receta la he improvisado hoy.
Tenia dos polemicas una entre trocear el pollo o dejarlo entero. Queria una forma diferente de guisar el pollo y decidi dejarlo entero para tal experimento... el resultado muy rico y diferente.
-Un chorreón de aciete de oliva
-Un pollo de kilo setecientos aproximadamente.
-Un poco de sal gruesa
-Un poco de pimientas diversas recien molidas
-Cebolla fresca troceadas en tamaño un poco grande
-Dos dientes de ajos rojos pelados y troceados en rodajas gruesas
-Una manzana al ser posible de piel amarilla
-Una rama grande de canela troceada en trozos grandes
-Dos zanahorias
-Vaso y medio grande de vino blanco
-Agua
Retraer por ambas caras el pollo con la manzana con la piel en el culo metido, poner la sal y un poco de pimienta. Una vez retraido se añade la cebolla troceada y los dos dientes de ajos y se retrae hasta que se ponga la cebolla tonta (lacia y retraida, pero no dorada), se añade los trozos de canela y se deja retraer un poco. A continuacion se le añaden las zanahorias peladas y troceadas y se retrae de nuevo. Se le pone el vino y se deja unos ocho o diez minutos a fuego moderado. Despues le vamos a añdir el agua hasta casi cubrirlo pero dejaremos parte de la pechuga sin cubrir y taparemos a fuego moderado.
A mitad de la cocion que veamos que la carne está un poquito dura aun le daremos la vuelta y lo dejaremos hacer una vez más.
Una vez tierno, sacaremos con cuidado en una fuente y retiramos las ramas de canela y lo demas lo pasamos por la turmi, pero debemos de quitar la piel y el casacabullo a la manzana que tambien batiremos junto a los demas ingredientes.
Introducimos de nuevo el pollo y destapado lo dejaremos a fuego un poco alto hasta consumir un poco la salsa, con cuidado de que no se pegue ni la salsa ni el pollo, ésto lo haremos vigilando continuamente.
He utilizado uno de mis recipiente favoritos.. el barro para cocinar. Una perola alta y con tapadera de barro tambien.
Es una salsa suave, rica y diferente por completo a la forma tradiccional de guisar este tipo de aves.
El segundo experimento llegó a la hora de hacer estas capturas... os imaginais?... la cámara en la mano derecha porque no se dar al clic con la mano izquierda y logicamente para mi la cuchara- cacillo en la izquierda porque es la que manejo mejor para casi todo. Tuve que obligarme a mi misma el ir vaciando poco a poco la salsa sin que se me quedara la cuchara sin salsa, que las gotas se mantuvieran en el vacio por un instante y en ese momento dar el CLIC con la derecha...
Este es el resultado... dos experimentos que me han divertido y me gustó el resultado, al menos el segundo creo que lo he conseguido y el primero ya lo sabeis... rico!!
Asi pues comparto una vez mas con mis amigos-as este espacio.
Un beso a todos
The CPAC Straw Poll Results for the 2010 CPAC. Congressman Ron Paul won in a landslide victory over Mitt Romney.

I'm putting this up in hopes that I'll get enough people to respond to it today.
Jeff and I have been talking about this for a while and we would like to see if people would like to give it another try. This time though, it will work. If anyone is worrying about your creations, don't. We plan on saving almost all of the villages and such. However, we're going to need to do it tonight as my server provider is switching admin panels and I'm not sure if we'll be able to install it as easily as we could on the panel we have now. So please, write what you guys would like: normal vanilla MC or the advanced Tekkit which has far more to offer than you could imagine.

Some are going to the afterwork party, others are exploring the periphery by bicycle. I count myself to the latter. Today I explore a place called poll. Poll is near the rhine located at the right side of the rive in the south of the city. I guess there are very different places. They have the nice familiehomes as well as the small and old ones you see in the picture. I must admit that there was nothing really special, but when I passed this humble estate I was affected in a certain way. I was thinking about if the closed roller blinds are a definitely sign that nobody is home. I thought about the rubber boot and where to wear it in a concrete area, and last but not least I thought about the straw hat and the question if it was placed at the door by a women... It's a bit like the shack I visited last week. You can see the surface, but you can't imagine whats behind... I wish you a nice evening, even when it's raining cats and dogs.
Trump's Gallup approval rating [30 August 2017] fell to 34%, lower than Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Ford, Reagan, Clinton, or Obama ever had during their presidencies. And no president had ever gone below 37% approval within his first 520 days in office, until Trump, who has accomplished that consistently within his first 220 days.
— Gallup
30 August 2017
***********************
"▶ Truman only went lower than 34% in December 1950, when the Chinese army entered the Korean War & WWIII suddenly seemed imminent.
▶ Nixon only sank below 34% deep into the Watergate investigations, after John Dean's testimony and revelations about the Oval Office tapes.
▶ Carter only crossed 34% late in his term, in May 1979, as the energy crisis began and unemployment started to soar.
▶ George W. Bush only sank below 34% in mid-2006, after Hurricane Katrina, growing doubts on Iraq, and the Social Security privatization push.
▶ Those few presidents who did hit this low in approval ratings did so after 2066, 1659, 851, 1283, and 1937 days in office. Trump did it in 223 days."
