The Rhododendron leafhopper was introduced into Europe from North America (where it is known as the 'Scarlet and Green Leafhopper') in the 1900s.
It is one of the few insects that feed on Rhododendrons. They carry and are responsible for spreading a fungal disease which may stop them from flowering.

Male lions are responsible for ensuring their territory remains their own. They go to great lengths to mark their parcel of land.

I Choose You
Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
'Cause I could live by the light in your eyes
I'll unfold it before you
Would have strung together
The very first words
Of a lifelong love letter
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you...
💋Drumknott
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you...
I choose... you
(Yeah...) oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me you could not come true
Just love's illusion
But then you found me and everything changed
And I believe in something again
My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose... you
We are not perfect
We'll learn from our mistakes
And as long as it takes
I will prove my love to you
I am not scared of the elements
I am under-prepared, but I am willing
And even better
I get to be the other half of you
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you...
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
You
We are enjoying beneficial storms over Madrid to cool down. This afternoon we received some very pleasant and refreshing heavy rains.
Here you can see one of those responsible for this situation, a Cumulonimbus Incus.
Hopefully we can see more clouds in the sky throughout the hellish Madrid summer.

The best day of your life
is the one on which you
decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.
No one to lean on,
rely on, or blame.
The gift is yours -
it is an amazing journey -
and you alone are responsible
for the quality of it.
This is the day
your life really begins.

Sometimes I wonder about the rhythm of nature. When I see this Autumn coloured forest, there appears to be multiple patterns to capture. I can even conjure up the notion that as a photographer I am somehow responsible for the result.
However, it is more often finding order in the chaos. Next year around this time, I expect the same trees will colour up in a similar fashion and the rhythm of nature will continue on its never ending path.
you are one hundred percent responsible for fixing it :-)

Up close with an Australian icon. The Redback Spider (Latrodectus hasselti), feared by early settlers, was historically responsible for 12 deaths . An antivenom has been available since 1956, and there have been no deaths directly due to redback bites since its introduction. The female spider, as seen in this shot, is much larger then its male counterpart and has the distinctive red stripe on its abdomen. The female 'digests' the male during a successful mating process, which seems to be unique to Latrodectus hasselti. Females reach around 1 cm in size while males are 3-4 mm when mature. Shot was taken with a 100mm macro lens. NSW, Australia

A brief description of this photo:
A while ago, someone who shall remain nameless, had put out a photo with a catchy description, inviting participation. That said, I took part in said event only to suffer multiple injuries, the only one of which that I made known was the damage done to my hand by their apparatus. With that said, I was kindly rebuked in my mentioning of my injured hand. Then...in another encounter with said individual, I was told to send them my medical bill...well, since they offered. I took them up on it and on my way to mailing my bill to them, since it was tax season and they could afford my medical BILLS...ahem. I went to my mailbox to submit my envelope and tripped over another ill kept SL sidewalk, thus causing me to lose my balance and my crutch and in doing so, my envelope was taken away by a strong wind... a suspicious wind, mind you but nonetheless..my envelope was lost as well as my medical BILLS, that they were going to pay. The only proof of this, is one of the many CCTV that SL has in our cities.
If the person who is responsible for my broken hand sees this, my bill is forthcoming either by SL Postal Carrier or a strong Windlight wind!!!!
Now I'm off to pop some Oxy, as all this typing aggravated my hands, both good and broken!!!!
PS If anything is misspelled or is seen as an incomplete thought... I was in extreme pain typing this and reliving the whole experience.

Frankfurt, Myzeil
Das MyZeil ist ein Einkaufszentrum in der Innenstadt von Frankfurt am Main. Es ist Teil des Gebäude-Ensembles Palais Quartier und bildet dessen Zugang zur Einkaufsstraße Zeil. Es wurde am 26. Februar 2009 von der damaligen Frankfurter Oberbürgermeisterin Petra Roth feierlich eröffnet. Das MyZeil wird auf sechs Stockwerken mit der mit 42 m einst längsten innenliegenden freitragenden Rolltreppe Europas erschlossen. Die Gesamtbruttofläche unter dem mit rund 3.200 dreieckigen Glaselementen überwölbten Gebilde beträgt 77.000 Quadratmeter, auf den Einzelhandel in den unteren drei Geschossen entfallen etwa 52.000 Quadratmeter.
Der Architekt ist Massimiliano Fuksas aus Rom. Für die Tragwerksplanung der Stahl-Glaskonstruktion ist das Ingenieurbüro Knippers Helbig aus Stuttgart verantwortlich. Regenwasser aus den fast 6000 Quadratmetern großen Dachflächen wird gesammelt, gereinigt und dem Brauchwasserkreislauf des Hauses zugeführt.
Frankfurt, Myzeil
The MyZeil is a shopping center in the city center of Frankfurt am Main. It is part of the building ensemble Palais Quartier and forms its access to the shopping street Zeil. It was officially opened on February 26, 2009 by the Frankfurt Mayor Petra Roth. The MyZeil is accessed on six floors with Europe's longest self-supporting escalator, 42 meters long. The total gross area under the over 3,200 triangular glass elements vaulted structures is 77,000 square meters, on the retail in the lower three storeys accounted for about 52,000 square meters.
The architect is Massimiliano Fuksas from Rome. The engineering office Knippers Helbig from Stuttgart is responsible for the structural design of the steel-glass construction. Rainwater from the almost 6000 square meters of roof areas is collected, cleaned and fed to the domestic water circuit of the house.
A floor level view of the lower chamber of the Texas State Legislature. The House of Representatives makes up half of the legislative branch responsible for enacting state laws. The House Chamber, the largest room in the Capitol, is located on the second floor west wing. When the building opened in 1888, the Chamber seated 106 members and now 150 representatives convene in the historic room which is the maximum allowed by the Texas Constitution.
Restored to its c. 1909 appearance, the House Chamber--like the Senate--is one of the few rooms still used for its original purpose. Behind the rostrum used by the Speaker of the House hangs the original San Jacinto battle flag carried by Texas at the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution. If the Legislature is not in session, a reproduction flag hangs in its place so the original can be kept in darkness under the drapery.
The Texas State Capitol Building was designed by Elijah E. Myers in Italian Renaissance Revival style, and was constructed between 1882 to 1888. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

What is special about the Dana nature reserve is that it has succeeded so well in getting people and nature to work together. Previously, Bedouin communities allowed their herds of goats and sheep to graze in the nature reserve, which was disastrous for the vegetation. To offer local people an alternative, a cooperative has been started that offers people work in tourism. But in a responsible way. Both nature and people benefit from this. Plant life is recovering, local residents earn a living and travelers can enjoy the beautiful nature.
Essentially, these people have no program.
Their goal is either to stay in power or their return to it.
And to achieve they are capable of everything.
A male ashy crowned sparrow lark hatching eggs.
We came across this pair, each taking turns to hatch the eggs. However, the interesting part was that the male was just sitting on them providing the warmth, but the female would also rotate them with her legs once in a while.

I could hear his land call so knew there was a Snipe at this pond however, he was not my prime target so he caught me totally off guard when up he flushed and flew back where I had just come from, and of course was backlit. Thanks to some photoshop recovery we can see those unique tail feathers that are responsible to make that familiar springtime winnowing sound over marshes.
Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg. He was an officer of the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War and one of the central figures of the military resistance against National Socialism in Germany.
He was mainly responsible for the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944. The attack failed. Stauffenberg was executed on 21.07 1944 in Berlin.
So as not to forget what the NAZI Regime was about. What they attempted to accomplish was courageous!

ENG: You can see the Lübeck City Hall on the north and east side of the market square.
This beautiful town hall from about 1240 of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck has been responsible for the fate of the city for almost 800 years. It is one of the most famous brick Gothic buildings and it is one of the largest medieval town halls in Germany. Unfortunately, because of the Corona Ordinances, no building tours were allowed during my visit. So I had to be content with the entrance area as well as the exterior view.

GER: Zu sehen ist das Lübecker Rathaus an der Nord- und Ostseite des Marktplatzes.
Dieses wunderschöne Rathaus von etwa 1240 der Hansestadt Lübeck ist seit fast 800 Jahre für die Geschicke der Stadt zuständig. Es zählt zu den bekanntesten Bauwerken der Backsteingotik und es ist eines der größten mittelalterlichen Rathäuser in Deutschland. Wegen der Corona Verordnungen durften bei meinen Besuch leider keine Gebäude Führungen stattfinden. So mußte ich mich mit dem Eingangsbereich sowie der Aussenansicht begnügen.
Hiking up the Quiraing, a fantastic geological formation on the Isle of Skye north of the slightly overrun Old Man of Storr, I heard a strange bird call that I couldn't quite figure out. Even the usual AI apps (BirdNet and Merlin) had their troubles and the only suggestion I got out of them was Eurasian Tree Creeper, which is an interesting suggestion in a landscape where the tallest woody plants are the many heather bushes. So I ended up spending quite a bit of time figuring out what I was hearing and to my big surprise found a young cuckoo being responsible for the high-pitched begging calls, demanding more food from its meadow pipit parents. They tried their bests, to feed the young bird, which was already able to fly... but they were not granted the least bit of gratitude - the cuckoo often gave them a peck after they fed him.
You can hear the surprising begging call of a young cuckoo in this xeno-canto recording, made by local birder David Kuster near my home town here: xeno-canto.org/814505

Not long back from Di and Erin's check up with our Oncology specialist. Once again Di has the all clear - that is 25 years (on 24th December) since her first diagnosis. We now also know that Erin doesn't have the gene mutation thought to be responsible for Di's breast cancer. We already knew that Louise doesn't have the mutation.
A quick post and run as I have to get our evening meal ready. I will catch up this evening or tomorrow morning.
Responsible behavior is made up of five essential elements: *Honesty
*Compassion/respect
*Fairness
*Accountability
*Courage
This photo is taken in the middle of a big hotspring area, which lies 30km south of Reykjavík, on top of the Atlantic rift that passes through Iceland, and is responsible for most of its volcanic eruptions. Such eruptions can happen here as well, although that has not happened for a very, very long time... and will hopefully never ;-)
Story: Most days I come back with no photos at all, few days I take a lot of photos but none make a lasting impression. Then there are those rare days, when you get the biggest surprises of your life.
I was photographing two sets of Great-Horned Owls on a regular basis on the summer of 2018. A set containing 2 juveniles and their mom, another a pair of young-adults. Over time, I gained enough confidence that I could regularly photograph them at full length without any slightest discomfort from them.
I know this from the experience because it took me 2-3 weeks to know each other and gain their confidence. I realized the very first sign of discomfort in an Owl manifests in its eyes. Their eye expressions are very similar to humans. Any discomfort and surprises, will show up first. Then they will look for a place to fly away. If you have made them to reach this second step, you better leave the scene.
If you look at this picture carefully, you can see the male behind (I guessed it from their relative size) has a neutral expression. But the female (front) has a somewhat heightened glance. To be clear, it's not me who was responsible for her attention. I was already photographing her for more than 20 mins. In fact, I walked right to my final place, and she stayed unmoved. Also the male flew in after some time.
The female was startled because she could hear something, and soon I too. After few seconds two shadowy figures emerged from the forest (on the back side). Apparently two young men were taking short-cuts. The sound of dry leaves crushing (of trail) and sudden appearance was all that needed to stop my once in a lifetime experience cut short.
I don't know whether I will ever be able to see another pair of Great-Horned Owls on the ground well before sunset. But perhaps this is why it's called once in a lifetime opportunity. A memory that will stay with me forever.
Understanding my roll.
When our first grandchild was born, my son’s family was stationed at NAS Pax River Maryland. We made the drive from Indiana to Maryland as often as possible and they the reverse. August was a beautiful baby boy who looked and acted like every other baby…like a little humanoid who had lots of intake and the smelliest of outgo. When it comes to babies…until they are old enough and can be responsible for their own head and neck, well let’s just say that holding one makes me as nervous as being wrapped up like a mummy utilizing live Boa constrictors! Scratch that as it is an exaggeration…I would prefer the boa’s!
I do not remember his exact age but I would guess it was around a year and a half old and they were in town for a visit. It was a beautiful spring/summer day and August and I were walking around the front yard, just exploring and enjoying time together. As we walked hand in hand, we came upon a bush. I have no idea what type of bush it was, even though it was part of our landscaping. It was both yellow and green, the type that looked a bit sharp but wasn’t.
We stopped and were looking at the bush when August without a word spoken looked up into my eyes. Instantly I knew his question and I said “You can touch it.” He gently reached out and started feeling the texture of a single branch, and smiled. It was at that exact moment, as if hit by lightning, that I felt like a grandfather for the first time…accepting responsibility for one of my roles in his life, to assist with discovery.
Fast forward seven years and I am at Custer SP photographing bison when I notice this little one. Its nose was inches from the ground and a few feet away from a lone blue flower. It moved from side to side, eyed fixed on the flower as if it was wondering what it was…a bit curious, a bit hesitant. A few seconds passed before it worked up the courage to approach the flower. When it bowed down to ascertain its fragrance, I took this photo.
Watching this bison reminded me of the thrill, the absolute blessing of discovery…making this shot a personal favorite from this trip!

My attempt at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Hand tools".
The manufacturer of this specific tool (Wera) was not responsible for the invention of the principle behind it (I think it might have been patented first by Megapro?) but this screw driver is probably my favorite and most used hand tool! It doesn’t use it’s own specific bits but standard interchangeable bits (used on drills etc.), has an extendable front part and a compartment inside the handle, that clicks open and features space for different bits. It really is an incredibly well thought out flexible system and feels like a pretty high quality tool at the same time!

It looks like there is life on other planets too, not just on earth, according my picture above.
The existence of series of atoms was primarily responsible for the formation of life in our universe. The biggest creativity, in our universe history, was the formation of Helium atom.
According the online information,
existing for us refers to remain alive or continue to be; in simple terms, it can be described as doing what is necessary to stay alive. When compared to existing, living means to enjoy your life and savour every movement of it.
Again according the online information,
the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is an irregular galaxy, the closest neighbouring galaxy to the Earth's location in the Milky Way, being located about 25,000 light-years (236,000,000,000,000,000 km) away from our Solar System.
Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is located in the same part of the sky as the constellation Canis Major. Canis Major is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere.The southern celestial hemisphere is also called the Southern Sky. Some constellations in the northern sky are Leo, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces.
We hope that humans are able to travel that far one day if we are able to survive the dangers like asteroids, comets, alien invasion, global warming ,climate change, racism, nationalism, hunger, wars, viruses (like coronavirus), sicknesses, genetic-mutation, etc.
Our generation will not see the other galaxies, but we may live long enough to stay in space-hotels in our solar system, hopefully.
“Resonance” is the single most responsible factor for the high tides in the Bay of Fundy. The depth and shape of the Bay of Fundy, and the moon’s gravity contribute to make the Bay of Fundy have high tides, but the single biggest factor is due to the size of the bay. Here’s why: “the tides are high in the Bay of Fundy because the size of the bay is just right to match the natural gravitational pushing cycle of the Moon that causes the tides.” www.bayfundy.net/science/hightides.html
Here the ocean enters and escapes from the Bay of Fundy, pushing 110 billion tons of water every 12 hours. This is equivalent to the combined total 24 hr flow of all the rivers of the world! www.bayfundy.net/science/hightides.html
The red mud seen in this photo is the bottom of the ocean and it will fill every 6 hours. The rate of tidal flow, or how quickly the change occurs between high and low tides, up to 17.0 m or the same as a 5-story building, in 6 hours, is astounding.
Check out the link for more information on resonance and the Bay of Fundy.

Late 18th century, 2-storey 3-bay house, linked in 19th century to narrow, early 19th century building (former

Orange painted harl with painted ashlar dressings; base and cill course. "In 1815, Thomas Scott, builder, of Musselburgh bought the property, and was probably responsible for the alterations prior to his death in 1819. The property may well have served as an Inn in the earlier to mid 19th century, as the inscription above the garden gate suggests."
When Kaiser Wilhelm I (1797-1888, King of Prussia 1861-1888 and German Emperor 1871-1888) died, numerous cities built monuments to his fame. He represents the Prussian-German nationalism and militarism, which lead to wars.
Let us honor the victims of World War I and World War II.

John Muir is the individual most responsible for the creation of Yosemite National Park. The Scottish-born American naturalist convinced President Teddy Roosevelt to protect Yosemite (including Yosemite Valley), Sequoia, Grand Canyon and Mt. Rainier as National Parks. Marvelling at the beauty of Yosemite Falls and its surroundings you realize how thankful you have to be.
Blind explores our denial of the studied, validated, stated, detailed crisis of climate change for which we are collectively responsible : natural, economic, social and demographic disasters during the coming years. And yet we do almost nothing, but continue our frenzy of senseless consumption and expend our energy in war.
Blind is the first part of a three-part installation, “The fifth season”, that questions our tendency to follow a path of self-destruction. It is related to the imminent threat of dramatic consequences for all living species as a result of climate change.
