The position of Hohenzollern Castle is impressive by itself. All around wide lowlands are reaching out and in the middle the castle is enthroned on its mountain. The builders couldn't have chosen a better place.
Die Lage der Burg Hohenzollern ist an sich schon beeindruckend. Runderherum erstreckt sich eine weite Ebene und in der Mitte thront die Burg auf ihrem Berg. Einen besseren Platz hätten sich die Baumeister nicht suchen können.
Saturday, several of us are gathered at Commonwealth Lake (at safe distancing), waiting for the osprey. Finally, one showed up, and did take the strike position a few times, but never took a dive.

The June full moon is sometimes called the Strawberry moon, according to the Farmer's Almanac, which says the nickname is connected to strawberries ripening in certain parts of North America. It's not a reference to the colour of the moon. However, you may still get lucky with the moon's hue. Towards the end of June, the moon usually sits in a lower position in the sky and shines through more of our atmosphere. Because of this, our moon can sometimes give off a pinkish hue. 63954

Dún Aonghasa (Unofficial anglicised version Dun Aengus) is the best-known of several prehistoric hill forts on the Aran Islands of County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies on Inis Mór, at the edge of a 100-metre-high (330 ft) cliff.
A popular tourist attraction, Dún Aonghasa is an important archaeological site.
History
It is not known exactly when Dún Aonghasa was built, though it is now thought that most of the structures date from the Bronze Age and Iron Age. T. F. O'Rahilly surmised in what is known as O'Rahilly's historical model that it was built in the 2nd century BC by the Builg following the Laginian conquest of Connacht.Excavations at the site indicate that the first construction goes back to 1100 BC, when rubble was piled against large upright stones to form the first enclosure. Around 500 BC, the triple wall defenses were probably constructed along the fort's western side.
The 19th-century artist George Petrie called "Dún Aonghasa" "the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe". Its name, meaning "Fort of Aonghas", may refer to the pre-Christian god of the same name described in Irish mythology, or the mythical king, Aonghus mac Úmhór. It has thus traditionally been associated with the Fir Bolg.
Form and function
The fort consists of a series of four concentric walls of dry stone construction, built on a high cliff some one hundred metres above the sea. At the time of its construction sea levels were considerably lower and a recent Radio Telefis Eireann documentary estimates that originally it was 1000 metres from the sea. Surviving stonework is four metres wide at some points. The original shape was presumably oval or D-shaped but parts of the cliff and fort have since collapsed into the sea. Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved. These ruins also feature a huge rectangular stone slab, the function of which is unknown. Impressively large among prehistoric ruins, the outermost wall of Dún Aonghasa encloses an area of approximately 6 hectares (14 acres).
Today
The walls of Dún Aonghasa have been rebuilt to a height of 6m and have wall walks, chambers, and flights of stairs. The restoration is easily distinguished from the original construction by the use of mortar.[citation needed]
There is a small museum illustrating the history of the fort and its possible functions. Also in the vicinity is a Neolithic tomb and a small heritage park featuring examples of a traditional thatched cottage and an illegal poteen distillery.

Unfortunately, I was not able to see this guy pupate. It happened in the wee hours of the morning when I was still snug in my bed. However, there is a beautiful Chrysalis hanging from this leaf now. I’ll post that picture tomorrow. Good luck on your transformation Monarch!
These Sandhill Cranes are coming into a field nearby so we see more wing positions. Normally they fly 300-400 miles per day and follow the wind currents at an altitude of 3-5000 ft above ground. Using the tailwinds there is not as much need to constantly flap but do so when coming down or climbing up – they are like other fowl using the wings to control the flight.

a spasso per Genova e dintorni in compagnia di Luisa (Ludi_ste), Stefano (nespyxel), Nadia (jajaxel), Massimiliano (zio.paperino), Margherita (meghimeg) e Sonia.
un GRAZIE particolare a Luisa per la sua disponibilità, competenza e premura nel seguirci alla scoperta di questa città.
"Piove
sui monti e sulle scale
su petali e parole
sul cuore mio che batte
Piove sui poveri soldati
sui campi abbandonati e sulla mia città....
Chissà se agosto è ancora nostro,
se ancora splende il sole
o poi magari piove..
Chissà se mai la frustrazione
diventa un’emozione
così non piove più.
Piove,
sui banchi della scuola
su ogni mia parola che non riesco a dire,
provo un pò a dimenticare
infatti guardo il mare
e non ci penso più..............."

The lip curling you see here is known as the Flehmen Response of rutting Deer. It is a behaviour where an animal curls back its upper lips exposing its front teeth, inhales with the nostrils and can hold this position for several seconds. It may be performed over an area of interest to the animal (e.g. urine or faeces). They usually do this with the neck stretched and the head held high in the air. Flehmen is performed by a wide range of mammals. The behaviour facilitates the transfer of pheromones and other scents into the vomeronasal organ located above the roof of the mouth.
As I was observing this Eurasian Hummingbird Hawkmoth, it occurred to me that it could be a female, overpositing onto the Valerians. Still awaiting confirmation from iNaturalist.
In July / August you can catch it a little farther to the right, enabling shifting tripod position to the left to get more of the front of the car.
Our July and August workshops with 2 nights in Bodie are coming up fast!

flowers are so simple yet so pure and beautiful..no wonder they depict love , the purest and most beautiful human emotion :)

I positioned the camera so that the white clouds look to emanate from the trees. And, a few warm colors are caught as the sun sets behind the dark clouds.

"Antes que el sueño (o el terror) tejiera
mitologías y cosmogonías,
antes que el tiempo se acuñara en días,
el mar, el siempre mar, ya estaba y era
¿Quién es el mar? ¿Quién es aquel violento
y antiguo ser que roe los pilares
de la tierra y es uno y muchos mares
y abismo y resplandor y azar y viento?
Quien lo mira lo ve por vez primera,
siempre. Con el asombro que las cosas
elementales dejan, las hermosas
tardes, la luna, el fuego de una hoguera.
¿Quién es el mar, quién soy? Lo sabré el día
ulterior que sucede a la agonía."
Jorge Luis Borges
(English translation from rationalleycat.blogspot.com/2010/03/el-mar-traducido-por-...)
Before the dream (or the terror) could weave
Mythologies and cosmogonies,
Before the time could mint itself into days,
The sea, the always sea, it had been and it was.
Who is the sea? Who is that violent
Antique being that gnaws at the pillars
Of the earth and is one and many of the seas
And abyss and splendor and chance and wind?
Who looks on it sees it for the first time.
Always. With that wonder which all things
Elementary leave behind, the beauty
In evenings, the moon, flame of the bonfire.
Who is the sea, who am I? I will know it
In the days to come that follow the agony.
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo (24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, and a key figure in Spanish-language and universal literature. His best-known books, Ficciones (Fictions) and El Aleph (The Aleph), published in the 1940s, are compilations of short stories interconnected by common themes, including dreams, labyrinths, philosophers, libraries, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology.[3] Borges' works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have been considered by some critics to mark the beginning of the magic realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.[4] His late poems converse with such cultural figures as Spinoza, Camões, and Virgil.

Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone!
The mountain Sveinstindur is positioned near the shout shore of the highland lake Langisjór, practically in the middle of Iceland. The height of the mountain is 1093 meters, and it is higher than most of the surrounding mountains. The elevation is about 350 meters as Langisjór lake is placed at an altitude of 670 meters. Sveinstindur mountain is one of the best places in Iceland to get a good view of the Highland and probably one of the best viewing places in Iceland. Here you have a view to six glaciers, many great volcanos, hundreds of mountains, long and winding rivers, and the horizon for hundreds of kilometers in any direction. You just have to be there to understand the magnitude of the view.
