Last spring, I spotted these delicate little flowers on a neighbourhood walk and wasn't quite sure what they were. After a bit of research, I discovered they're Wild Tulips (Tulipa sylvestris). Not native to my area, I'm quite sure that the homeowner must have planted them as specimen plants. I don't know if they'll overwinter, so it'll be interesting to see if they appear next spring. If you're interested, here's a bit of info on this flower:
"Tulipa sylvestris, the wild tulip[3] or woodland tulip,[4] is a Eurasian and North African species of wild tulip, a plant in the lily family. Its native range extends from Portugal and Morocco to western China, covering most of the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins, and Central Asia. The species is also cultivated as an ornamental and naturalized in central and northern Europe as well as a few scattered locations in North America.[2][5]"

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment, much appreciated! Have a great day!
According to researchers, a man will gaze at a woman’s lips before gravitating elsewhere over the landscape of her body. (yes, including her chest).
Lips are our body’s most exposed erogenous zone. They are packed with more than a million different nerve endings, making them one of the most sensitive parts of our body.
They are considered a sensually seductive part of our body, and highlighting them in rich glittering colors adds to their alluring qualities.
These Stunner Originals Fantastic Lips exemplify this biological phenomenon. Their sophisticated satin luminous quality draws such beautiful attention to your lips, making them irresistibly kissable. This Fantastic Collection also gives you 25 different deep shades to choose from.
For my eyeshadow, I wanted a sexy and dramatic look. That said, I selected the M&T Garage Giada EvoX eyeshadow in metallic blue with winged eyeliner. This Giada collection comes in 6 gorgeous color options.
Wearing this blue hue brings out my eyes correctly and makes them pop. I adjusted the eyeshadow color density to 60% for a demurer appearance.
Both the Stunner Originals Fantastic Lips and the M&T Garage Giada Eyeshadow are exclusively available at Swank’s "Wild Spring Event" for March 2023.

I've seen lots of these Tree Swallows in the past but they were always moving too fast for me to get a decent shot. Yesterday I saw a few at the Patuxent National Wildlife Refuge and this one was accommodating (thankfully).
Having wasted most of my day on Flickr-y things like slimming down my sets, adding new sets ready for the new year, and other general housekeeping, I decided I needed to keep Ginger company, and ended up sitting on the sofa researching whisky (in the glass) and double decker buses (on the Internet) while Ginger researched wedding dresses, whisky and took her own picture for the day.
The peace was only broken when I exclaimed "Well bugger me!" upon realising I'd accidentally managed to bag a FUTAB as well. For some reason Ginger found this statement amusing.

Korintje cinnamon is a variety of cassia cinnamon. Because the names cassia and cinnamon are used interchangeably, it is easy to confuse them. To make matters even more complicated, korintje cinnamon is sometimes called by other names as well. For example, it is sometimes called Padang cassia. The name refers to Cinnamomum burmannii, which is a close relative of the other forms of cassia as well as of true cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon). In fact, it is the variety with which most people in the U.S. are familiar. Korintje cinnamon is popular in commercial bakeries because of its low cost and because it is the flavor that most Americans expect. It is also known as Java or Indonesian cinnamon.
Much of the world’s korintje cinnamon is found in Western Sumatra, which is where it was first cultivated. It was first cultivated in the area around the city of Padang; specifically, the Kerinci Regency. Korintje is the Dutch word for Kerinci. The spice was cultivated by the Dutch during their colonial reign in Indonesia. This variety of cinnamon differs from Ceylon cinnamon as well as from cassia varieties in that it is harvested from higher altitudes. It is also harvested at a different time of year from the other varieties.
Korintje cinnamon is believed to be the variety of cassia referred to in China as kwei-shi. The name cassia is believed to have come from the kwei-shi name or from the name of India’s Khasi people.
In Hawaii, it is listed as an invasive species and a threat to more than a dozen local species.
Korintje cinnamon flavor profile
Korintje cinnamon is often rich in the essential oil that is responsible for its flavor, but the oil content can vary depending on the grade of the cinnamon. Korintje cinnamon comes in three grades: A, B, and C. While A grade cinnamon can have a more pungent flavor when compared to other forms of cinnamon, C grade can be somewhat bitter. The highest grade of korintje cinnamon is said to have a smooth, sweet taste with less of the pungent heat of other cassia varieties.
Health benefits of korintje cinnamon
The health benefits of korintje cinnamon are similar to those of other cassia varieties and are the result of beneficial compounds like:
Flavonoids: Korintje cinnamon contains flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol that are known to possess antioxidant properties.
Anthocyanins: Anthocyanins are pigments that give foods their color and can have major antioxidant benefits.
Borneol: Borneol is a terpene similar to camphor and is used medicinally to treat a variety of health conditions.
The constituents above and many others help to make korintje cinnamon effective for treating a range of health conditions, including the following:
High cholesterol: Research has shown that korintje cinnamon can help to lower the levels of various lipids such as LDL cholesterol.
High blood sugar: Korintje cinnamon along with other cassia varieties has been shown to lower blood glucose level as effectively as some older diabetes drugs.
Poor digestion: Korintje cinnamon may be used to treat gastrointestinal ailments like flatulence and diarrhea.
Note: Like other forms of cassia cinnamon, korintje cinnamon contains a large amount of coumarin. Coumarin has blood-thinning properties and can cause liver damage if you consume too much of it. Experts recommend consuming no more than a teaspoon of korintje cinnamon per day.
Common uses
Korintje cinnamon is used in most of the desserts and beverages in the US that require cinnamon. If you have had commercial cinnamon rolls or apple pie, you have probably had this variety of cinnamon.

The late nights are starting to get to her and she finds it hard to grasp at the concept of time... she tries to make sense of the doctors handwritting; she wonders if they teach how to be illegible in med school.

NASA science research on the International Space Station reached an extraordinary milestone June 14. The vital, versatile EXPRESS Racks – properly known as “EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to the Space Station” multipurpose payload shelving units – logged 1 million hours of combined powered duty on station. That’s the equivalent of nearly 115 years’ worth of scientific research completed in just two decades. In this image, NASA astronaut Kayla Barron monitors experiments in one of the International Space Station’s 12 EXPRESS Racks during Expedition 66, which ran from October 2021 to March 2022. As many as 100 experiments at a time can be simultaneously conducted in the station’s full complement of racks, helping NASA achieve 1 million hours of powered EXPRESS Rack duty between 2001-2022.

A trio of camels share a tasty bite of Opuntia cactus. This cactus was introduced from North America and is spreading across Central Kenya. My colleague Anne-Marie Hodge is studying how predators control Opuntia invasions by suppressing the animals that eat the cactus's fruit and help it disperse. www.ecology.com/2014/04/21/cactus-teach-earth-day/

Gloster Meteor T.7(MOD) WL375 displayed at the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. Two non standard modifications are a photo nose and F.8 tail assembly. Painted in the last known scheme applied when in service at RAF West Freugh southwest Scotland.
Delivered to the RAF 5 June 1952 and in service up until 1969 it would seem mostly for research/trials work at West Freugh, the twin jet was semi derelict and abandoned in the long grass at that airfield in 1996.
The museum volunteers have done a grand restoration job on this classic early jet fighter design.
Build for my article on New Elementary all about the latest wave of parts added to Pick a Brick this month.
I only had one of each seed part to play with so I went for an asymmetric vehicle using the transparent curved corner panel (5925). It turned out to be a bit of a slog to complete but I got there in the end - thanks to some Lime green frying pans of all things.
[I moved this cabinet card up to the head of the line because somebody favorited it today, and many of my new followers probably haven't seen it. When it comes to pure greatness, here you are. This is just a fabulous cabinet card. I paid a pretty penny for it back in the day, like, a lot of money, but I still think it was money well spent. A relative of Mrs. Robinson contacted me to tell me about her, but thank goodness she didn't want the photo back. I fall in love quite easily. I fell in love with Mrs. Robinson, and though my hopes are unrequited, I am still her eternal slave.]
I bought this card from an Internet dealer (not Ebay). He had posted the card, as he does every two weeks, and put a price on it, and no one had bought it. The photos are posted on Sunday, and the first person who says he will pay the money gets the photo. I told the dealer I was tempted, and he emailed back and urged me to buy it. Naturally, I ended up buying it, even though it was priced very high. I've paid more for a photo, but that was on Ebay. I'm not going to say how much I paid for this, but it was a lot.
On the one hand, you could say I overpaid. I mean, it's just a photo of a woman looking in a mirror. The photo has some fingerprint smudges, it's kind of plain, barren, there's not a lot going on, and though I find this woman attractive enough, she's not a stunning (a favorite Ebay seller's word) beauty. I mean, it's just a nice photograph---why did I waste my money?
I paid that money because the photograph is astonishingly modern. It's like the past leapfrogged the present and jumped into the future. I mean, this woman is dead, and there she is, looking right at us, right now, not a hundred years ago, or however long ago it was.
Did she know that we would be looking at her? Why isn't she smiling? I think she isn't smiling because she's saying "I Lived." She's saying, "I'm Living." She's saying, "I'm Alive." And of course she's not alive. But she is alive.
Perhaps I bought the photograph because it distills into a single artifact so much of what draws me to old photographs (and yes, of course, I find her attractive).
I don't think the seller had done a lot of research on Wirt Robinson. Maybe one of you who has access to genealogical resources could find her first name for me. Perhaps there was more than one "Wirt Robinson." However, I found information on only one, and since the one I found was a good one, I didn't look any further.
Wirt Robinson was in the Army, and he taught at West Point. He wrote a book which seems to be still in print, with the wonderful title "Notes On The Circumstances Of A Moving Projectile." Apparently, when he wasn't teaching at West Point, he was off in the tropics, looking at birds. Somewhere (ART_NAHPRO perhaps will find it for us) there is a book he wrote, or illustrated, about birds in the forests of Venezuela. How he could have borne the absence of Mrs. Wirt Robinson is beyond me. Perhaps the experience of her was so rich, so filling, so extravagant, that he could only take a little bit at a time, like foie gras or something. From the looks of things, I would guess that Mrs. Robinson was extremely sensitive in that little square inch just behind her ear lobe. They say that the universe is so vast that out there somewhere there is another planet where they speak English. If that is so, perhaps there is another planet out there where Mrs. Robinson and mrwaterslide might meet and fall in love (of course, not-wanting her to be Mrs. Robinson, but Amelia Arnold, or whatever her maiden name was.)
I have this idea of what Wirt Robinson was like. He must have been an academic sort of fellow, but, like Mr. Chips, he was that lucky fellow who met the love of his life, and won her heart, as she had won his. Unlike Mr. Chips, I hope his love endured in the earthly realm, and lasted to old age. There would have been fires in the fireplace, and sherry, and croquet perhaps, and the triumphs and sadnesses of students who came and went (it seems that Wirt Robinson lived in to the 20's though I haven't found a date of death.)
One last little tidbit, that I saw once and now can't find again---apparently at West Point there is a little memorial to Wirt Robinson, and it seems, though I haven't been able to find a picture, that it is a statue of a bunch of ducks. I really hope you're allowed to go there and see it.
