The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the city of Uglich (Russia) is a cultural heritage site of regional significance. The building of the temple is made in the Russian-Byzantine style with elements of classicism. The church was built in 1858-1881 at the expense of the merchant Mikhail Zharenov. In its place until the Time of Troubles was the monastery of St. John the Theologian, known since 1482. Later, a wooden parish church was built.
The temple has been closed since 1930 and has not been used for its intended purpose. On the door of the church, I saw the schedule of services ...

Male Eastern Bluebirds are a brilliant royal blue on the back and head, and warm red-brown on the breast. Blue tinges in the wings and tail give the grayer females an elegant look. The male Eastern Bluebird displays at his nest cavity to attract a female. He brings nest material to the hole, goes in and out, and waves his wings while perched above it. That is pretty much his contribution to nest building; only the female Eastern Bluebird builds the nest and incubates the eggs.

We can upon this Great Kiskadee hunting from a branch over a small stream. He made several attempts and came up empty handed, but every now and again he was successful, as with this minnow. His behavior and hunting style reminded me of our Belted Kingfisher. Another "lifer" for me.

Ovenbirds spend much of their time foraging on the ground, often walking with a herky-jerky, wandering stroll that is unlike most terrestrial songbirds. Territorial males are very vocal and often sing from tree branches, occasionally quite high up. Ovenbirds breed in closed-canopy forests, particularly deciduous and mixed deciduous-coniferous woods. You may find them in most forest types, from rich oak or maple woods to dry pine forest, although they avoid wet or swampy areas.

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment."
Timothy 6:17
This excavator had a primary purpose as an earth mover, yet in this snow covered image - it looks like it could have been contracted out to dig through the freshly fallen snow.
Looks can be deceiving.
**Captured less than two weeks ago. The snow has since then melted and Spring appears to have arrived.
Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper, bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as the "house". The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. They are a natural progression from the steam shovels and often mistakenly called power shovels. All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. Due to the linear actuation of hydraulic cylinders, their mode of operation is fundamentally different from cable-operated excavators which use winches and steel ropes to accomplish the movements.

'Why be a copy, when you were born an original'
Mornos Lake is an artificial lake having been constructed so as another reservoir to be created for covering the growing needs for the water supply in Athens. It was created in 1979 by constructing a dam in Mornos River. The total area of the lake, which corresponds to its average level, is about 15.5 square kilometers, making it the ninth largest artificial lake in Greece.
The lake is located in the center of Fokida prefecture, covering with its water a basin to the west of Lidoriki, formed between the mountains Giona and Vardousia. It collects water not only from Mornos River but also from its tributaries, which flow directly into the lake. The most important of them is Kokkinopotamos, which stems from Vardousia mountain. Mornos Lake takes also water from Evinos Lake through a tunnel that was constructed for this purpose.

the most precisely articulated national purpose in recorded history. Not only is it a famous statement of purpose: it is also an admirable statement of purpose. Prior to July 4, 1776, the national purpose of nations had been to dominate... The American national purpose was the opposite: to liberate from domination; to set men free. All men are created equal.
We not only have a national purpose; we have one of such aspiration, such potentiality, such power of hope that we refer to it — or used to — as the American Dream :-)

During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.

Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.

The Blisterhead or Groninger Blisterhead is a Dutch breed of dual-purpose cattle. for blister head. Its main breeding area is in the province of Groningen.
White-headed cattle in Holland have been mentioned as early as the fourteenth century Cattle showing some similarity to the modern Blaarkop appear in an Adoration by Pieter Aertsen dating from about 1560, and in a seventeenth-century From the nineteenth century, there are also Blisterheads in the Utrecht and Leiden regions.
Bulls of this type were among the cattle shipped to the Cape of Good Hope by Willem Adriaan van der Stel during his time as governor of the Cape Colony (1699–1707).
The Blisterhead founding, a non-profit foundation for the development and conservation of the Blisterhead, was established in 2002.
The Blisterhead breed is sturdily built with matching muscles, a horned head, and strong legs. Both red (60% of the population) and black (40%) Blisterheads exist. The body is solid red or black, while the head is white with a red or black ring (blister) around the eyes; the tail has a white tip.
Bulls are 1.45 to 1.50 metres (4 ft 9 in to 4 ft 11 in) high and weigh 800 kilograms (1,800 lb). Cows are 1.35 to 1.40 metres (4 ft 5 in to 4 ft 7 in) high and weigh 600 kilograms (1,300 lb).
I've missed a good fight in SL for a long time. Yesterday was a free-for-all battle: hand-to-hand combat, explosions, kicks, magic attacks, even prohibited weapons because a platform was made for this purpose.

How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Praise be to you, Lord;
teach me your decrees.

"What to ourselves in passion we propose,
The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
The violence of either grief or joy
Their own enactures with themselves destroy:
Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament;
Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.
This world is not for aye, not 'tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
The great man down, you mark his favorite flies;
The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy.
But, orderly to end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contrary run
That our devices still are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own"
CSX B708 arrived in Shippensburg right as a short rain storm moved across the area. I'm a sucker for the Geep mother-slug sets, and when I saw the no-longer-a-GP30 was going to lead west to Letterkenny I stuck around despite the conditions. I'm glad I did.
Just as the rain tapered to a mist the setting sun found a hole in the clouds, setting off this brief rainbow. Luckily the train was close, and made the frame before the light quickly faded.
I just wanted to sneak into the forbidden part of the library for study purposes.. really! Unfortunately professor Dane caught me, the man is alert like a three-eyed lynx - 20 points deducted for... which house was I in again?

1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1. Position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 350F.
Butter 2 quart soufflé dish.
2. Then, make a sauce béchamel: melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture is well blended (do not allow mixture to brown). Pour in warm milk, whisking until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly until very thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add cheese and stir until incorporated. Whisk in seasoning.

Piping Plovers are nearly invisible until they run a short distance, stop, and tilt forward to pull an insect or worm from the soft sand. They tend to forage alone or in small groups sticking to the higher parts of the shoreline relative to other shorebirds.

Large expanses of deciduous forest, particularly deciduous trees with large leaves (such as maples), typify Red-eyed Vireo habitat during the breeding season. On migration, look for them in nearly any type of forest, woodland, or woodlot (particularly in deciduous stands). It is often the commonest of vireo migrants.

The purpose fo switching over to a canoe on the backwaters is to navigate one of the canals that are part of the waterway. All of the images I have shown up until now were taken on the lake. There is much to see along the tiny canals where people live. They are busy places just as what is reflected here.
Anchored with Purpose
The Korana carries everything in its path – branches, leaves, fragments of its own shore. The water is still high, still restless.
Yet this boat remains.
Half on land, half in the river. Secured by chain – not out of fear, but certainty. Suspended between movement and stillness.
Sometimes strength is not in drifting forward, but in knowing where you belong.

Mir koji nije slučajan
Korana nosi sve što joj se nađe na putu. Grančice, lišće, komadiće obale. Visoki vodostaj još uvijek ostavlja trag, a voda je mutna i nemirna.
Ipak, ovaj čamac ne ide nikamo.
Izvučen do pola na obalu, pramac već na suhom, krma još u rijeci. Čvrsto vezan lancem – ne iz straha, nego iz sigurnosti. Između nemira i mira, između odlaska i ostanka.
Možda smo svi ponekad takvi. Svijet teče, nosi, mijenja. A mi biramo stati. Ne zato što ne možemo dalje, nego zato što znamo gdje pripadamo.

The purpose of my drive yesterday was to locate the Northfield Tunnel of the defunct New York Ontario and Western Railroad. I believe when I took the picture I was practically above the portal. Perhaps just past this ridge. But my wounded feet and legs and my arthritic knees ruled out any bushwhacking. In looking for the tunnel I spotted this 1930's era car bodies rusting away.
Norfolk has literally dozens of windmills. Many were used for drainage purposes while others were used to produce flour. The vast majority seem to date from the late 1700s or the first few decades of the 1800s.
This Grade II*-listed six-storey tower mill at Burnham Overy Staithe in north Norfolk was built in 1816 and ceased working just over 100 years later in 1919. The mill was sold in 1926 and converted into holiday accommodation. Restoration was carried out in 1957 and the mill was given to the National Trust a year later. The stocks and sails were replaced in 1985.

It is no coincidence that this incredibly beautiful, fragrant and useful plant is called a wild rose. A close relative of the most beautiful flower on earth, the rose hip also has thorns, but is also rich in vitamin C and other useful microelements.
The name “rose hips” is used for wild or unmodified rose species. In Russia today there are up to 100 species of rose hips, and not all of them are equally useful, so some of them are used for decorative purposes. Under natural conditions, wild roses grow on mountain slopes, in river valleys, and in fields there are several dozen varieties of the plant. Unpretentious and cold-resistant ornamental rose hips can often be seen as hedges in country houses. Certain types of wild rose are used to make jam, jam and candied fruits.
The healing properties of rose hips have been known since ancient times. Almost all parts of rose hips are used for medicinal and preventive purposes, but the fruits are considered the most useful. This is explained by the high content of vitamin C in them; its concentration here is higher than in black currants and lemon. Wild rose fruits also boast a variety of biologically active substances.
The most popular among medicinal types of rose hips is traditionally considered to be May rose hips. The fruits of needle, Dahur, Kokand, small-flowered rose hips and some other plant species are also used for medicinal purposes.
The temple is awe-inspiring in its design and beauty - but a deeper purpose is what happens inside. Just thinking about the ordinances performed inside while I was photographing outside, is also awe-inspiring to me. It was quite busy on this weekday evening. The Oquirrh Mountain Utah LDS Temple.
