May’s full Flower Moon reaches peak illumination at 7:14 A.M. (EDT) on Wednesday, May 26. It will be very close to or below the horizon at this time, so plan to venture outdoors the night before (Tuesday, May 25) or on Wednesday night to get the best view of the bright full Flower Moon! [...].
May’s Moon names tend to speak to the arrival of spring and all that it entails! www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-may
Unfortunately, cloud cover prevented any chance of seeing the Lunar Eclipse in the early hours of May 26

LOVE STORY – TAYLOR SWIFT
My father was a boxer
but that's not all he was at all
My mother was a nurse
but that did not define her or prevent her fall
they met under extraordinary circumstances
but they were far from ordinary
they died too soon and suddenly
my life became extraordinary
is it beyond all comprehension do you suppose
that I was once a Princess in a far-off land
and now I try to be ordinary
so that I will not stand out from the crowd; I stand
still like a wallflower yet shining bright
when my back is to the wall
my father's blood will stand and fight
watching the fading passers-by
eyes narrowed to the sun
dreaming of flying and wondering why
or how this life of mine had first begun
and now I am here in this beautiful place
Far from the Madding Crowd

The land behind the boat is an exposed reef. This reef should be underwater, but due to the low levels of the lake, the reef is exposed.

Capture taken during recent trip to NYC. The local security personal did prevent looking for other options and perspectives during that visit...doing what they are supposed to do...next time...have a good remaining week. Thanks, Udo.
Circumstances prevented me from going on the River Park Walk this morning but that did mean I got to see the Stream Train that was on the Werribee line before heading to North Geelong and on to Ballarat. The two locos were under power as they came up the grade from Hoppers Crossing Station. Loco Y 112 was trailing at the rear of the train.
Well been a week since my last post and working on some new hobbies so this isn’t my usual post. I have begun to treat myself with some preventative herbal medicine right now I am working on my immune defenses given its everything season out there. I spent many months reading and researching and have narrowed some things down that seemed to have some great abilities to fire up the immune system pre sickness and I think this one so far is a winner you can look up the ingredients and their benefits on your own if you are interested as I can only tell you what works for me.

I like mine herbs powdered so mix in a spice grinder for maximum extraction; otherwise 3-4 tsp in a 1l mason jar filled with boiling water, let steep 10 minutes drink then hot or cold and a spoonful of honey makes the medicine go down so does a slice or two lemon.

This is the view from the queue for the Bodinnick Ferry, which is the only vehicle crossing point on the River Fowey between the sea and Lostwithiel. The historic town of Fowey is on the right, while the village of Polruan is on the headland in the distance. Back in medieval times a stout chain would be stretched across the narrow river entrance between Fowey and Polruan to try and prevent enemy ships from sailing in and attacking Fowey.
I believe these are meadow anemone, an ephemeral or commonly a forest flower short lived before the tree canopy prevents the light from hitting them so they will no longer grow.
They look like they are reaching the end of their bloom but still hold their beauty.
Flowering Crabapple Trees line the driveway of a home. Brimfield, Ohio - Portage County
Few ornamental trees offer the variety of tree shapes, sizes, flower colors and ornamental fruit as flowering crabapples. There are over 35 species and 700 cultivated varieties of crabapples and have been a part of the home landscape for many years.
Both apple trees and crab apples have clustered, five-petaled blossoms with 15 to 20 yellow stamens in the center. They typically begin blooming before the leaves unfold and are later joined by the young greenery.
Blossoms often open from pink or red buds and change to paler shades after opening, creating a beautiful pink cloud lasting several weeks. Asian crab apple specimens are usually preferred for ornament because their fruits are more colorful and last into the winter providing food for over-wintering birds.
Crab apples are most popular of the spring-flowering trees in the North and Midwest where cold winters and heavy soil prevent other spring bloomers from performing well.
Tree height may be from 6' - 50' with most in the 15' to 25' range. The varieties vary from weeping, spreading, columnar, vase-shaped to pyramidal which allows many opportunities for use in landscapes.
Ruins of a medieval castle on a steep rocky hill rising over Mayschoß in the valley of the Ahr. It dates back to the 11th century and was extended thereafter. In 1704 it was blown up to prevent it from falling in enemy hands. Today only the foundations and few remains of the walls are still visible.

Morinda latibractea is a tall shrub or small tree 3-5 m tall. Leaves are broadly elliptic to oval shaped 8-15 x 3-5, with pointed tips.
Morinda latibracteata is endemic to the rock islands of Belau (Palau). There are between 50 to 80 species of Morinda, mostly in the old-world tropics. All Morinda flowers are heterostylous, meaning flowers have variable style length to prevent self-fertilization.
Common Names:
In Palau: kesengelengel

hiking the double arch
Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah, United States. From the Double Arch parking area it's a 0.5 mile round trip to the arches. There are no guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches.
To prevent you getting bored of snow shots (and me) I have posted some pics without any snow. But nevertheless all around me there is snow and so I hope you will come with me enjoying still more snow-shots. :-))
Dieses Foto habe ich im Sommer 2015 an der Nordsee gemacht. Ich glaube, dass die Schafe gerne UNTER der Bank liegen, weil es da schön windgeschützt ist. Der Zaun um die Bank auf dem vorherigen Foto soll das wohl verhindern :-)
Ich habe heute kaum Zeit mich auf einer Bank auszuruhen, denn ich bin mal wieder in einer Küche im Einsatz. Euch einen entspannten Samstag!
This picture was taken in summer 2015 at the North Sea. I think the sheep like to lie UNDER the bench, because it protect them well from the wind. The fence around the bench on the previous photo should probably prevent that :-)
I have hardly any time today to rest on a bench, because I am once again in a kitchen in use. Have a relaxed Saturday!
Flit needs a new heart, she rumages through the dump and finds some makeshift armor; she comes up with a pipe, some streetsigns and an old funnel.

El tren (592.070) circula en sentido hacia Sagunto y su próxima parada es la Estación de Estivella.
La vegetación, en especial algunos pinos bastante altos impiden panorámicas de este puente.

Renfe commuter train (Line C-5) crossing the bridge over the "Ravine of Sarva". ESTIVELLA (Valencia)
The train is moving in direction towards Sagunto and its next stop is at Estivella Station.
The vegetation, especially some rather tall pines prevent from getting panoramic views of this bridge.
El tren (S592) procede de la Estación de Xàtiva y está a punto de parar en el apeadero de Genovés. Además acaba de salir del túnel nº 3, cuyo extremo opuesto ya conocemos.
Desde este punto de observación tomamos una imagen similar, pero la niebla de aquel momento impedía ver el túnel.
*********************************
The train comes from the Xàtiva Station and is about to stop at Genovés halt. In addition it has just left tunnel No. 3, whose opposite end we already know.
From this observation point we took a similar image, but the fog of that moment prevented us from seeing the tunnel.

Climbing up Mam Tor on the Great Ridge that separates Castleton and Edale in the Peak District, Derbyshire.
The Great Ridge extends for approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Mam Tor at the western end of the ridge to Lose Hill at the eastern end, the lowest point being Hollins Cross.
A path runs along the length of the ridge, and is roughly paved to prevent erosion caused by the large number of visitors. The only steep section of the path is Back Tor, just east of Hollins Cross, which may not be suitable for the very infirm.
West of Mam Tor, the high ground continues, slightly changing direction, as Rushup Edge.
Some people can subconsciously prevent you from becoming your best self.
Everything you do in this life- where you go, what you say, what you do and who you do it with is the result of your thoughts.
A big reason people fight is because people identify with their thoughts. When we were growing up, most of us believed that thoughts come from the inside. We thought that they were innately a part of us and that we *are* our thoughts. We started building our whole identities around our own little internal monologues.
And the bigger the idea, the more of your identity it represents. This is why politics and religion are such hotly debated topics, because they're such big ideas. If I say your political idea is a bad idea, and you base your identity on that idea, then effectively what you're hearing is that I'm calling you a bad person. You think that I'm attacking you, not the idea.
Something that might be even more common is that people just straight up attack the individual as a proxy for attacking that person's idea.
Somewhere along the way, a few people started realizing they had it all wrong.
In practice, a much better way to think about it is that the universe has an infinite number of streams of thoughts, so to speak, that our brains can kind of tap into like different radio stations. With this analogy, we no longer have to view ourselves as a series of thoughts but rather as an empty vessel by which thoughts pass through. Now we're like the DJ of a radio station, not the individual song. The self is merely an observer. It was this distinction that sparked one of the most famous philosophical debates of all time, which is, I think therefore I am versus I *do* therefore I am.
Spolier alert, you should pick the latter.
In this analogy, the self is determined by our ability to pick and choose different ideas from different streams of thoughts and combine them to form new ideas. Sort of like picking ingredients to make a sandwich.
This is different from the first paradigm, in which we would just take everything from the same stream and hope that the sandwich turns out good anyways.
Therapists know that this works, that's why when people come in complaining about depression, they're told to use the term "negative intrusive thoughts".
The idea is actually pretty simple. If you don't take ownership of the idea and instead you assign a label to it, then you can categorize it as something that life just happened to send your way but something that you're also allowed to throw away. You don't have to hold on to it because it's not actually a part of you. It's just a shitty song on the radio station.
So how does this all relate to other people holding you back?

The upper regions of the aurora borealis disappear into the starry sky above Niwot Colorado. After missing the best of the display in Oct 24 we abruptly quit eating dinner and headed out once the first reports of a strong display hit. Unfortunately I opted for an elevated location to view the display that lacked any foreground appeal, and we had to deal with lots of drivers parking who didn't know how to turn off their headlights. However the strong event (reds visible to the naked eye) made up for any annoyance.
We also went out last night (12 Nov) but there was continuous thick cloudcover that prevented any views of the auroral display.
This male swan although very beautiful in poses like this is a real bully in the spring, so much so he prevented numerous pairs of geese and ducks from successfully breeding this year, that is why I gave him the name Conan. He was so intent on chasing all the other birds on the lake he was unsuccessful in breeding himself.
"Paddington, see what I have found here!" Molly happily pulls something out of water
"No, no! Dont pull the rope Molly, there may be a ship tied up on the other end! You might pull it on the rocks!" Paddington shouts

Heron on the Isle of Wight pond on Bookham Common on the lookout for any passing lunch . I once saw about twenty heron in flight over this pond ( see shot in first comment box ) , it was quite a sight but weather conditions prevented any sort of a decent capture . There is/was a heronry very close to the pond , but since some issues with water levels and a sluice being replaced I have not seen the herons in large numbers these days .
Remnants of twin dairy farm silos ( you'd have to look closely to see that there are two silos standing positioned, side by side ).
The silo domes are missing. (caps)
Farm silos are agricultural structures used to store and preserve bulk materials like grain or fermented feed (silage). They protect crops from the elements, prevent spoilage, and maintain nutritional value. The three main types are tower silos (vertical concrete or steel structures), bunker silos (wide concrete trenches), and bag silos (long plastic tubes).

Elevated Bow River levels and temporary flood‑mitigation measures, include barriers and berms, due to heavy rainfall and snowmelt.
The sandbags being used for Calgary’s temporary riverbank protection are not the small hand‑filled bags you’d see at a hardware store. They are large industrial flood‑control bags, typically:
1 to 1.5 metres long
0.5 to 1 metre high when filled
Filled by heavy equipment, not by hand
Used to build temporary berms or reinforce eroding banks

It turned out to be a windy day which prevented some good photo opportunity but it was an outstanding birding day. This Towhee was one of over 30 bird species recorded on this day in the park alone. Nesting season is definitely on!
Work prevented a second bite at the cherry so here's 90002 'The Wolf of Badenoch' leading the former Staycation Express Rail Charter Services coaches with immaculate DVT 82139 on the rear as it passes the new forest of Moore (thanks to huge bush growth) working 5Z90 Crewe H.S. - Preston. 21/9/20
On the left of the photo is not the lock, but the pumping station. These ensure that saltwater flowing from the sea into the canal returns to the sea at the locks. This prevents salinization of the North Sea Canal. The pumping station also houses pumps with a capacity of 50,000 liters per second, which are activated during heavy rainfall. This ensures that large parts of the Netherlands remain dry.

In this old poplar - as high as my house - my 60 year old wisteria grew in symbiosis with old ivy. A natural monument. Every spring I was able to enjoy this unusual splendor - living at the top - . Unfortunately I could not prevent the removal, the poplars had to be shortened, and the new neighbors love to look at the brickwork anyway. :(((
Well, like some things in life: it will grow back.
Europe, The Netherlands, Noord Brabant, Eindhoven, Evoluon, Next nature museum, Deity/Locker (uncut)
Back to the Evoluon/Next Nature museum. As I said in the previous posts, it’s all about letting people interact with new technologies. To enable this, temporarily preventing distraction by cell phones can be vital. The museum enlisted the help of a deity for this, offering little lockers to store them in.
This is number 19 of the Eindhoven abum.
Yarchen Monastery (tib ཡ་ཆེན་སྒར་ wylie ya chen sgar) lies 400 km west of Chengdu in Sichuan province in China, in the old Tibetan province of Kham. It is reported to have 10 000 monks and nuns, making it possibly the largest monastery in the world. Larung Gar is even larger, but is considered a monastic encampment rather than a monastery. Most of the inhabitants are nuns. It was established in 1985.
Many monks and nuns came to Yarchen Gar when Larung Gar was partly demolished in 2001
The abbot, Achuk Rinpoche is one of the seniormost Nyingma masters in Tibet and he practices mainly Dzogchen. He teaches in both Tibetan and Chinese language and attracts students from all over China.
Due to Chinese restrictions on religious practice most of the monks and nuns are not officially recognized and live in fear of being thrown out. Monks are not allowed to enter the nuns' quarters on the West side of the river.
Due to the remoteness of the institute and the bad condition of roads leading there, Yarchen Gar sees very few tourists. In the past years officials have often prevented foreigners from entering the institute or staying there overnight. Tourist guides will not take foreigners to the nuns' side of the river even though there are no legal or real cultural reasons against that. There is a simple hotel and restaurant next to the gate.

Not everyone likes it, but I find this environment very fascinating, despite its rough and cold appearance.
As mentioned, the abundance of siliceous and calcareous rocks combined with the strong winds of Bora/Bura and Scirocco/Jugo, prevent the rooting of humus and therefore the fertility of the soil, despite the fact that the entire area has some of the most abundant rainfall in Europe.
Even in the Mediterranean area, the Northern Adriatic has a temperate climate and rainfall distributed throughout the year, with minimums in February and July and a maximum in autumn, but all months have at least 60mm or 60l/m2 of rain.

CHUVAS E RAIOS...
- Sempre tivemos o desejo de conseguir capturar em imagens um raio. Mas não é fácil e não possuímos o saber de técnicas mais amplas que permitam esta proeza com uma captura fantástica, inclusive não procuramos aprender até mesmo por não possuirmos equipamentos que nos permitiriam realizar uma captura mais profissional. No entanto, nada disto nos impede de efetuar algumas tentativas. E este dia foi propício e conseguimos 3 momentos (imagens); enfim, eis nosso singelo trabalho e tentativas neste sentido.
RAIN AND LIGHTNING...
- We always had the desire to be able to capture lightning in images. But it's not easy and we don't have the knowledge of broader techniques that allow this feat with a fantastic capture, we don't even try to learn even because we don't have equipment that would allow us to make a more professional capture. However, none of this prevents us from making some attempts. And this day was favorable and we got 3 moments (images); finally, here is our simple work and attempts in this direction.
I was wondering if there are young sumo wrestlers too. And I found an interesting article on internet about the 10-year-old Kyuta Kumagai. If you want to see and read about him, just click
here.
I also was curious if there are female sumo wrestlers and found another interesting article "sumo-wrestling-women-what-are-your-rules/? " with more information (so if you want to read more about it, just follow the link) and an explanation (see below):

Why the resistance to inclusion in professional skills?
In the Shinto traditions blood is related to death and at the same time is a symbol of impurity. The woman’s body is structured for a menstrual period every 28 days (more or less). This makes her an impure being to practice sumo, since it would be contaminating the place where the confrontation is taking place (ring).
Due to existing conflicts and contradictions, the female gender can only practice sumo in amateur tournaments. In these also men compete, with the difference that they can advance to the highest level. What’s more, amateur tournaments are not officially recognized by the Sumo Association of Japan, in charge of professional sumo.
This discriminatory stance has prevented Japan from aspiring to have its national sport considered Olympic.
