We saw 3 owls at the ball fields and one at the library, but none had a background or habitat that was pleasing. After driving around town for a while and looking at the vacant lots (of which there are far fewer due to the building boom) we found this cutie that had a nice nest and surroundings.

Some of us, like me, take photos for the beauty of what we see in SL. Others make their beauty, some tell stories with their art or they have art with purpose.
scylla.rhiadra's art has meaning and purpose. Her photos tell a story , some of the stories are hard hitting , socially relevant and profound.
She uses darkness to help illuminate her story in a way that leaves me in awe. I did not experience her art till she bumped into me one day at 777 motors. I checked out a few of her exhibits at different galleries and was blown away with the topics she covered and shared with her arts in an SL gallery. I felt like I could have been at any modern museum , maybe in SoHo New York.
I was honored when she asked if I'd take a pic with her. Her version shows how much she understands the use of lighting and darkness to share her vision. I took a photo, she captured a moment.

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.

Walking in fog often provides a visual representation of my thought process. My brain constantly brings different topics into view, but in the process lets others slide into the periphery. Most of the time they are all still there, competing for my attention, but all in varying degrees. In fog I respond to the overall loss of clarity, but also the nuance that is created by relative distance. It's this layering effect I find most appealing as more distant objects eventually recede into nothingness...exactly the same as my mind reacts.
Walking outdoors this morning felt otherworldly. I love seeing familiar places rendered as ones I'm visiting for the very first time. A rich dichotomy as the serenity of fog is ripped apart by this visceral reaction. In these moments I invariably come up with camera angles that never would have occurred to me in normal circumstances.

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).

So we booked a trip to Fairbanks Alaska really for one purpose, the Northern Lights. All the tourist info said if you go for three nights you have a 90% chance of seeing the lights. So we booked 4 days. But there are some things you just cannot control. We got there and the KP was only 2, and the sky was very overcast, in fact, it was snowing good and hard most of the time we were there. We tried not to be sullen, or downtrodden. In fact, I think we did a good job filling the days with other fun things to do. You have seen some of that in my other postings.
One such outing was the Chena Hot Springs. We soaked, we had fun. As we were leaving, the sky's opened up just a little and we could see stars. We could see no green, but I thought, heck, let me get out the camera and see if maybe the sensor could see green. I turned on the rear display and there it was, some green. Oh man. Frenzy. Get the tripods, get our coats, get the gloves (it was 18 degrees). We start to scramble. Very three stooges I must say. We know this will not last.
I am not trying to discount the image, but we had no control over where we were. I had 7 great locations scouted out with killer foregrounds, but when the sky won't play, you can't control where you are. So here we are in the parking lot of the Hot Springs. We tried to make the best of it. We ended up with about 45 minutes of clear sky the whole time we were there. The Aurora was not doing anything fun, no ribbons, no various colors, no dancing of any kind. We did try to control the foreground by driving down the road a bit, after the panic in the parking lot. We did grab a few more frames down the road, but the Aurora was stronger here.
I joked with Hilton Chen one time- we agreed that anytime you put blood, sweat and tears into an image, even if its a bit of a dog you are going to share it. So this image is not one of the great Aurora images on the Web. Maybe next time. But it is one I feel I earned, so here it is. Enjoy it darn you, enjoy it.

Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village, is a purpose-built film set village, now converted into a small attraction fun park, consisting of a collection of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings. It is located at Anchor Bay, 3 kilometres (2 mi) from the village core of Mellieħa, Malta.
It was built as a film set for the production of the 1980 live-action musical feature film Popeye, produced by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions starring Robin Williams. Today it is open to the public as an open-air museum and sea-side resort.

The common sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a species of large annual forb of the daisy family Asteraceae. The common sunflower is harvested for its edible oily seeds which are used in the production of cooking oil.
The Helianthus annuus has a variety of purposes e.g. food for livestock, bird food, and planted in domestic gardens for aesthetics. The Helianthus annuus is known for its multiple flower heads, whereas the domestic sunflower often possesses a single large flower head atop an unbranched stem.
In the binomial name Helianthus annuus, the genus name is derived from the Greek ἥλιος : hḗlios 'sun' and ἄνθος : ánthos 'flower'. The species name annuus means 'annual' in Latin.
Common sunflower was one of several plants cultivated by Native Americans in prehistoric North America as part of the Eastern Agricultural Complex. Although it was commonly accepted that the sunflower was first domesticated in what is now the southeastern US, roughly 5,000 years ago, there is evidence that it was first domesticated in Mexico around 2600 BCE. These crops were found in Tabasco, Mexico, at the San Andres dig site.
The earliest known examples in the US of a fully domesticated sunflower have been found in Tennessee, and date to around 2300 BCE. Other very early examples come from rockshelter sites in Eastern Kentucky. Many indigenous American peoples used the sunflower as the symbol of their solar deity, including the Aztecs and the Otomi of Mexico and the Incas in South America.
In 1510, early Spanish explorers encountered the sunflower in the Americas and carried its seeds back to Europe. Of the four plants known to have been domesticated in eastern North America and to have become important agricultural commodities, the sunflower is currently the most economically important.

This small church,located just south of Oakville,IA.,lost its purpose and its soul many years ago.In the spring it is nearly totally buried by foliage,only in the winter does its plight become apparent.Many years ago,the farmer who owns the land put a set of barn doors in the rear of the empty church for machinery storage.It was used for that purpose until the floor caved in-an old wagon still sets inside with its back axles buried beneath the church floor.I'm not making any judgements here,but I think the almighty might not take too kindly to see one of his houses used this way. Nonetheless,this is one of the most photogenic abandonments an explorer will ever come across-no matter how sad it may seem....
Have a great weekend and sliders sunday all!

Die weiße Mohnsorte wird nur sehr selten angebaut. Sie wird zur Herstellung von Opium und Morphin für medizinische Zwecke angebaut. Um den Anbau zu überwachen und seinen Missbrauch außerhalb der Medizin zu verhindern, wird der Anbau von den Behörden geregelt.
Sie wird gelegentlich als Nussersatz verwendet. Der süße, wunderbar nussige Geschmack eignet sich für alle Süßspeisen, aber auch für Backwaren oder zum Verfeinern von Pastasaucen.
(Ich kann Strudel oder Eis mit weißem Mohn empfehlen)
Der weiße Mohn hat wunderschöne Blüten und ist ein so genannter Blindmohn, bei dem die Kapseln geschlossen bleiben.
The white poppy variety is very rarely cultivated. It is cultivated for the production of opium and morphine for medical purposes. In order to monitor cultivation and prevent its abuse outside medicine, cultivation is regulated by the authorities.
It is occasionally used as a nut substitute. The sweet, wonderfully nutty flavour is suitable for all sweet dishes, as well as for use in baked goods or to soften pasta sauces.
(I can recommend strudel or ice cream with white poppy seeds)
The white poppy has beautiful flowers and is a so-called blind poppy, where the capsules remain closed.
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.
