Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

The Barberton is a small daisy with a rosette of irregularly shaped leaves; often deeply divided. The flowers are actually flower heads made up of many, small, tightly clustered flowers or florets. The flowers may be red, pink, orange or yellow and appear from August through to December.
The shape of the flower head varies greatly. Many species have button-like heads without showy ray florets, while others have ray florets marked with spots to attract pollinating beetles which they mimic. The Daisy family is one of the largest plant families in the world, with over 23 000 species.
The Barberton Daisy grows in the northern regions of South Africa, including the Kruger National Park.
The Barberton Daisy is now thought to be the most cut flower on earth for floral arrangements.

Province Lake on the Maine - New Hampshire border.
We were traveling from the coast back to Conway and our route put us here about 45 minutes before sunset. It was absolutely fantastic. This is a 3 shot pano and I'm almost exactly standing on the state line shooting west into New Hampshire.
Scimitar-Babbler has a certain ring to it as a bird name, so I looked forward to seeing some species with that name on my birdwatching trip in Thailand. Red-eyed Scimitar-Babbler did not disappoint, with its curved bill and distinctive colours. It only heightened its appeal when the one place we saw it was in the highlands of the Doi Lang area of Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park — a remote region in Chiang Mai province that was a favourite place of mine.
This species used to be lumped with Rusty-cheeked Scimitar-Babbler (E. erythrogenys) but was split off in the 2024 eBird Taxonomy Update.
