I love how he was precise and gentle while planting.

My goal was to take a precise photo that showed the scales found on the wings of butterflies and moths. This moth, sleeping during the day on my porch, was not injured in this exercise. Not even awakened.
The scales come in a variety of forms--some look like hairs, some vaguely like ping pong paddles, some like flat scales.
Pigments provide the colors in black, tan and grey scales. Brilliant yellows, blues are reds are produced by structural modifications that refract light.
I attached a Canon 2X extender to my 180 mm macro lens--effectively a 360 mm macro. That sounds good, but it reduces the amount of light coming in, so you need to increase the ISO or provide light. But in addition to increasing light, an extender decreases the depth of field, so although this moth was close to flat, I could not get all of it in focus. So I took 3 photos, each with a different focal plane, and stacked the three frames in photoshop.
If you go to the downward pointing arrow, click on it and select "View all sizes" and choose one of the higher resolutions to view. A click will change to a different resolution. Return by clicking "photo" to the left of the sizes.
This may be a moth in the family Geometridae. It is remarkably cryptic on cement. The yellow dots on the cement are pollen grains. I swept the porch the previous day...I thought I got it clean.
More than one, to be precise. The leaves are from the neighbour's maple trees and every autumn many of them end up in my garden. I don't mind as the cats love to play with them and for me they offer some nice photo opportunities. There is another capture in the comments.
Linus has an appointment at the vet tomorrow morning for being neutered. His exact age is unknown but he is more than a year old now. I had planned to do thIs earlier but at first the vet and I decided to postpone it because of his extreme panic around people he didn't know. He had just begun to trust me and we didn't want to ruin everything. We then planned the OP for summer but after what had happened to Ramses I just couldn't do it. The fact that Linus is a whole male hasn't caused any problems so far but recently Fynn and Linus have started to fight more. It's usually Fynn who starts the fights and I think that in a way he may feel threatened by Linus. Nobody needs additional stress, especially not Fynn who usually reacts to stress by a flare-up of his chronic cat flu.
SN/NC: Morus Nigra, Moraceae Family
Morus nigra, called black mulberry or blackberry (not to be confused with the blackberries which are various species of Rubus), is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae, native to southwestern Asia, where it has been cultivated for so long that its precise natural range is unknown. It is known for its large number of chromosomes, 308 (44x ploidy). Other mulberry species are sometimes confused with black mulberry, particularly black-fruited individuals of the white mulberry, but black mulberry can be distinguished by the uniformly hairy lower leaf surface. Morus nigra is a deciduous tree growing to 12 m (39 ft) tall by 15 m (49 ft) broad. The leaves are 10–20 cm (4–8 in) long by 6–10 cm (2–4 in) broad - up to 23 cm (9 in) long on vigorous shoots, downy on the underside, the upper surface rough with very short, stiff hairs. The edible fruit is dark purple, almost black, when ripe, 2–3 centimetres (0.8–1.2 in) long, a compound cluster of several small drupes; it is richly flavoured, similar to the red mulberry (Morus rubra) but unlike the more insipid fruit of the white mulberry (Morus alba). It is very popular in Brazil where its leaves are used to feed the silkworms used to produce silk. (Silkworm moth, (Bombyx mori), lepidopteran whose caterpillar has been used in silk production.
A Amoreira-negra, Amora, Amora-negra, Amora-preta, Amoreira, Amoreira-do-bicho-da-seda, Amoreira-preta são os nomes mais comuns da nossa popular amora e a árvore que a produz, amoreira. Ela é uma árvore decídua, cujo fruto, a amora, é apreciado no mundo todo. Seu porte é médio, alcançando de 4 a 12 metros de altura. As folhas são simples, ovadas a cordiformes, cartáceas, de margens serrilhadas ou dentadas e recobertas por uma pilosidade que as torna ásperas ao toque. As mudas podem apresentar folhas lobadas. As inflorescências surgem no final do inverno e são do tipo espiga, pendentes, onde se reúnem flores brancas minúsculas. Os frutos são pequenos aquênios, carnosos e negros quando maduros, reunidos em infrutêscências. Apesar de ser frutífera, a amoreira não deixa de ser ornamental. Sua copa é ampla, fornecendo sombra fresca no verão e permitindo a passagem de luz no inverno, com a queda das folhas. É perfeita para pequenos pomares domésticos, pois é rústica e não necessita de cuidados especiais para frutificar em abundância. O plantio dessa espécie só não é recomendado para arborização ao longo de ruas e avenidas, assim como estacionamentos, pois a queda do frutos e folhas suja os automóveis e o chão. Por ser facilmente dispersada pelos pássaros, a amoreira-negra pode se tornar invasiva em alguma situações.
Morus nigra, morera negra o moral negro es una especie de árbol perteneciente a la familia de las moráceas, nativa del sudoeste de Asia, siendo cultivada por tan largo periodo que su rango natural preciso es desconocido. Es un árbol pequeño deciduo que alcanza 10-13 m de altura. Hojas de 1-2 dm de longitud y 6-10 cm de ancho (llegando a 23 cm de largo en brotes vigorosos). El fruto comestible es negro púrpura, a veces bien negro, maduro de 2-3 cm de largo, en racimos de varias drupas pequeñas; ricamente saborizado, similar al Morus rubra, y diferente a la más sosa fruta de Morus alba. Ha sido largamente cultivado por su fruta comestible, y plantada y naturalizada en el oeste de Europa, Ucrania, y en China. Posee una ramificación densa, con ramas largas, divergentes y extendidas y ramillas lisas de coloración pardo-castaña. En conjunto constituyen una amplia copa, difusa y redondeada, con frecuencia irregular y de crecimiento rápido.
Le Morus nigra, ou mûrier noir, est originaire du sud-ouest de l'Asie. Son principal signe distinctif est la face inférieure de ses feuilles, uniformément duveteuse. Il est prisé pour ses fruits violet foncé, riches en saveur. Une curiosité botanique : il possède 308 chromosomes (ploïdie 44x). Note : Bien que votre texte mentionne son utilisation pour les vers à soie au Brésil, c'est principalement le Mûrier Blanc (M. alba) qui est utilisé pour cela.
Il Morus nigra, o gelso nero, è originario dell'Asia sudoccidentale. Il suo tratto distintivo principale è la pagina inferiore delle foglie, uniformemente pelosa. È apprezzato per i suoi frutti di colore viola scuro, dal sapore intenso. Una curiosità botanica: possiede 308 cromosomi (ploidia 44x). Nota: Sebbene il vostro testo ne menzioni l'uso in Brasile per i bachi da seta, è principalmente il Gelso Bianco (M. alba) ad essere utilizzato per questo scopo.

I had a precise idea in mind about photographing from this location (the Ponte Umberto)—hardly original!—but it was a spot from which I had not yet been able to capture a quality long exposure. I worked the scene at various focal lengths (between 70-200mm) for at least an hour. I was lucky that my comrade, Patrick Maslak, was so patient. I had been hoping for a sunset exploding with colors, but the amazing colors never materialized. I'm afraid I had to crank the magentas in post to give the appearance that there was a hint of color in the scene.
Two days later to be precise. There was a lot of debris floating around blocking the drains. Leica M8, Elmar (collapsible) 2.8/50.
Car ignition coils arranged neatly at Horopito motors.
Horopito Motors, also known as "Smash Palace". Part working car mechanics, part museum. If you are into rusty and crusty (or want used car parts) it is a great place to spend several hours photographing!
This is a shot of the precise spot where the Byzantine Cathedral of the Taxiarchs (of St. Michael the Archangel) once stood in Ioannina, Greece, within the South-Eastern citadel (aka Iç-Kale) of the Castle. The church was deliberately demolished in c.1430, then on the exactly same spot the ‘FETHİYE Câmii’ (Turkish for ‘mosque of the Conquest’) was erected by the Ottoman Turks.
It was in writing that the latter had promised certain privileges (such as the freedom of worship with no conversion of churches into mosques etc.) to the people living in Ioannina as conditions of the surrender agreement reached (“Sinan Paşa's designation”, ratified by imperial decree of Sultan Murad II).
It is impossible for me to convey to you exactly how I felt, that precise moment when I set eyes on this little beauty!! I've seen quite a few leverets over the years, but they've all been weaned, and independent. How I didn't tread on this babe hidden in the grass I'll never know! I very carefully parted the grass to take a couple of shots, then covered him/her back over. Photo in comments is how I first found him.

Sure, there should be a more precise drawing for the cutting and the cutting should be done with more accuracy. I my case i should have also to be wearing my other glasses, but this was a first try of something that has been apearing and vanishing in my head as a chinese weather balloon... or two... or... whatever.
Of course the dummy book shoul be green paper, the indicidual leaves should be folded and unfolded along the stem so, unfolded the sides will be at an angle from each other. Yes, of course, the whole leaf should be curved to fit... All that will go but i am not going to try it yet: this was only for those modellers wanting to make pals trees who weren't so lucky as i was at finding enough cheap plastic ones more than six or seven years ago as shown in this album:

Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust.
Eucalyptus is a genus of over seven hundred species of flowering trees, shrubs or mallees in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Along with several other genera in the tribe Eucalypteae, including Corymbia, they are commonly known as eucalypts. Plants in the genus Eucalyptus have bark that is either smooth, fibrous, hard or stringy, leaves with oil glands, and sepals and petals that are fused to form a cap or operculum over the stamens. The fruit is a woody capsule commonly referred to as a gumnut. Most species of Eucalyptus are native to Australia, and every state and territory has representative species. About three-quarters of Australian forests are eucalypt forests. Wildfire is a feature of the Australian landscape and many eucalypt species are adapted to fire, and resprout after fire or have seeds which survive fire. A few species are native to islands north of Australia and a smaller number are only found outside the continent. Eucalypts have been grown in plantations in many other countries because they are fast growing and have valuable timber, or can be used for pulpwood, for honey production or essential oils. In some countries, however, they have been removed because they are highly flammable. 46136

Ah! Yes! Those hardworking, precise 'guest-worker' gardeners of the KLCC Park are very thorough in maintaining the smooth grass lawns of the park. But here and there on their edges little 'weeds' escape sharp knives!
Much to the desires of a host of insects - and Olymp, too - from relatively large to small. And they delight on tiny flowering weeds such as exquisite Aneilema nudiflorum, Small-leaved Dew Flower.
Here's a Wee Bee, a Meliponini - I think - of some sort, perhaps 3-4 mm, collecting from Doveblue.

This experience feels like the precise opposite of growth; it is a forced devolution. My accumulated intellectual architecture is being made redundant, supplanted by this instantaneous, unearned 'knowledge.' The deep, satisfying process of intellectual assembly—hypothesis, experimentation, critique, synthesis—is being rendered moot.

Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.
[Gustave Flaubert]
Severance of Light
Gregory Scott
What begins as an ascension — fierce, radiant, undeniable — is violently unmade. In Severance of Light, energy once pure and rising is shattered mid-stream, split by a brutal rupture that annihilates its trajectory. Hope is not dimmed — it is extinguished. Love is not lost — it is betrayed. This is the precise moment when creation turns on itself, when brilliance is severed by unseen hands, and the upward path collapses inward.
The central fracture is not just visual — it’s existential. A blade of darkness cuts through the ascending flow, leaving scorched remnants of what could have been: dreams aborted, joy crushed, divinity turned to debris. Rage pulses in the linework. Grief bleeds in every fracture. Here, in the wake of beauty's murder, hate becomes the new architect.
This is not the fall from grace. This is the execution of grace.

The precise date of construction of this fortress-like parish church is not known with any certainty, though its architecture indicates the early part of the 13th century. With its five distinctive towers, it stands on a hill above the harbour, making it Kalundborg's most imposing landmark.
Ahi weaves precise slashes and pyroclastic strikes to form his unique eruptive fighting style, leaving only ash and obsidian in his wake.
Made some changes to Ahi. The shins have been replaced to be more sleek, and some of the torso colors have been changed to be less messy. Also, the sword blade is the correct color. The leg articulation is a lot better in this version, so he can actually pull off some neat poses.

Make sure to have a precise goal to reach in your life!
Whelp, it's that time of year, the end of the year to be precise.
It's been a real shitty year for the World. Terrorism, Police Brutality, The God Awful Election, That stupid dead Gorilla, DC movies were pretty bad, Walking Dead got really boring really fast, and probably a few other things.
One thing 2016 hasn't been bad for was the Lego community, at least I think. I made a good amount of figures this year, beginning with my wave of Dark Knight Returns figures back in January, and then I finished off the year with Maui. Also made some Outlast figures, my entire wave of Batman Villains, started my Spider-Man villains series, and of course the wave of Zootopia figures.
Did a lot of collabs this year, specifically with Jared, but also did some with Jayson, Andy, Jaymes, Yale, and Aaron. Have commissioned a lot of things from people and made figures as payment for a lot of people. Decent amount of figures I made this year were then sent off to other people, like Flash, Darth Maul, and Agent Venom.
This year was my second BrickFair, and hopefully not my last, got to meet the same people again, but also a lot of new people like Roman and Donovan. Seeing Suicide Squad with all of the bois was also really fun.
If had had to choose my 5 favorite things that I made and that only I made this year, they would be DKR Batman, Nick and Judy, Deathstroke, and Arkham Asylum Bane. If I did my 5 favorite collab figs I made, they would be Maui, Mr. Big, Bogo, Doug, and Professor Pyg.
So, in conclusion, I hope you all had a decent year. I guess I've been here 4 years now, although it may be 3. Taylor will have to rain-check me. We both joined around the same time, and he keeps better track of it. Anyways, hope you all have a Happy New Year, and hopefully 2017 will go easy on us.

Jeffersonians, Hamiltonians, Wilsonians, and Jacksonians:
Wilsonians believe that the United States should promote the establishment of a world order based on human rights, international law, and powerful multinational institutions.
Jeffersonians believe that too much activity overseas will increase the risk of war, promote inequality in the United States, and reduce individual freedom at home.
Jacksonians share Jeffersonian skepticism about Wilsonian interventions to promote human rights and Hamiltonian support of a strong central government and pro-corporate economic policies; but unlike Jeffersonians, they believe that the United States will not be safe unless other countries respect our willingness to use force to defend our honor, our interests, and our allies.

Cheese
To be more precise: Soete Brabant cheese.
Cheese , delicious food I can't get enough of, is made of milk and other products.
It contains a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep.
There a hundreds types of cheese and they are produced in many countries.
Cheese is valued for its portability, long life, and high content of fat, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Cheese is more compact and has a longer shelf life than milk, although how long a cheese will keep depends on the type of cheese; labels on packets of cheese often claim that a cheese should be consumed within three to five days of opening. Generally speaking, hard cheeses, such as parmesan last longer than soft cheeses, such as Brie or goat's milk cheese. The long storage life of some cheeses, especially when encased in a protective rind, allows selling when markets are favorable.
Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate recorded history. There is no conclusive evidence indicating where cheesemaking originated, either in Europe, Central Asia or the Middle East, but the practice had spread within Europe prior to Roman times.
A funny thing is that Cheese is rarely found in East Asian cuisines , so when we are in the Philippines I really have to search for it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speyer_Cathedral#Crypt
Over the centuries, crypts developed from tiny chambers into large semi-subterranean and very articulated hall crypts, which became standard forms in Italy and Germany, sometimes extending under the transepts as well as the chancel. The monumental crypt of Speyer Cathedral, consecrated in 1041, is the largest Romanesque columned hall crypt in Europe, with an area of 850 m2 (9,149 sq ft) and a height of approx. 7 m. Forty-two groin-vaults are supported on twenty cylindrical columns with simple cushion capitals. The sandstone blocks alternate in colour between yellow and rust, a typical design of the Salian and Staufer era, and providing the context of the colour-scheme of the 19th century facade. The "architectural clarity is quite exceptional, a result of the precise execution of the base moldings and the cushion capitals, together with the emphatic system of transverse arches."[27](see detail below)

I loved the vibrant red tiles and their neat and precise rows. The rich red painted walls really popped against the white open shutters on the windows. To me this scene was like a visual treat - an unexpected little piece of candy :)
Happy Window Wednesday Everyone!
“The Rows (Danish: Stokkene) are six two-storey terraces which were originally built by Henrik Ruise as barracks for the soldiers based at the Kastellet (The Citadel). The dorms measured four by four metres and contained two triple beds, a small table and two benches. Over time they became known under individual names: General Stock where the commanders resided until the Commander's House was built, Artillery Stock for the artillerists, and Star Stock, Elephant Stock, Swan Stock and Fortuna Stock. The Mansard roofs are not part of the original design but date from 1768 when the rows were altered. The original roof profile is today only seen at the end of Artillery Row as seen from the Prince's Bastion.”
San Lorenzo Maggiore is a church in Naples, Italy. It is located at the precise geographic center of the historic center of the ancient Greek-Roman city, at the intersection of via San Gregorio Armeno and via dei Tribunali. The name "San Lorenzo" may also refer to the new museum now opened on the premises, as well as to the ancient Roman market beneath the church itself, the Macellum of Naples.
The church's origins derive from the presence of the Franciscan order in Naples during the lifetime of St Francis of Assisi, himself. The site of the present church was to compensate the order for the loss of their earlier church on the grounds where Charles I of Anjou decided to build his new fortress, the Maschio Angioino in the late 13th century.
San Lorenzo actually is a church plus monastery. The new museum takes up the three floors above the courtyard and is given over to the entire history of the area that centers on San Lorenzo, beginning with classical archaeology and progressing to a chart display of historical shipping routes from Naples throughout Magna Grecia and the Roman Empire. The museum provides a detailed account of the local "city hall" that was demolished in order to put up the church in the 13th century and continues up past the Angevin period and into more recent history.
Beneath San Lorenzo, about half of an original Roman market has been excavated.The site has been open since 1992, the result of 25 years of painstaking excavation. The market place is the only large-scale Greek-Roman site excavated in the downtown area.
In this church Boccaccio met his beloved Fiammetta (1338) (Wikipedia)
