Celosia argentea ‘Spicata’, aka Wheat Celosia’, is a showy annual (will not overwinter outside on Long Island) that dazzles in the summer through fall garden. Its long lasting spikes of colorful magenta flowers provide lots of visual interest wherever it’s planted and enjoyed.
collecting the seeds its very easy for next season,
After initiating a talons-first attack, Green Heron fails to follow through, instead extending its neck and plucking up its target with head in the water as usual on Horsepen Bayou.
I had to revert to a photo of Charlie Brown today, taken in August when he and Leo spend a week at our home, as I had no time for new cat photos today and our cats seem to hibernate anyway. The butterfly above Charlie's head is an old and rusty garden decoration and looks bigger in this photo than it really is. As it doesn't move, Charlie wasn't interested in it at all. :)
This orchid was given to me as a Christmas present in 2020. It was given to me as a 'Blue Orchid'.
I was pleased to see that it was setting new buds Christmas 2021 a year later. I was interested to see what it's natural colour would be as blue orchids have die injected into them.
This little beauty has emerged over the last few days. It is still only 5mm across, so I am looking forward to seeing it in full bloom (along with the other 4 blooms)
The name Waimakariri comes from the Māori words wai, meaning water, and makariri, meaning cold.
The Waimakariri River is one of the largest rivers in Canterbury, on the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island. It flows for 151 kilometres in a generally southeastward direction from the Southern Alps across the Canterbury Plains to the Pacific Ocean.
The river rises on the eastern flanks of the Southern Alps, eight kilometres southwest of Arthur's Pass. For much of its upper reaches, the river is braided, with wide shingle beds. As the river approaches the Canterbury Plains, it passes through a belt of mountains, and is forced into a narrow canyon (the Waimakariri Gorge), before reverting to its braided form for its passage across the plains. It enters the Pacific north of Christchurch, near the town of Kaiapoi.
From Wikipedia.
Promise the earth a hundred million more years of continued growth. If, at the end of that period, it is evident that the whole of consciousness must revert to zero, without its secret essence being garnered anywhere at all, then, I insist, we shall lay down our arms—and mankind will be on strike. The prospect of a total death (and that is a word to which we should devote much thought if we are to gauge its destructive effect on our souls) will, I warn you, when it has become part of our consciousness, immediately dry up in us the springs from which our efforts are drawn.
-Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, How I Believe, trans. René Hague (New York: Harper & Row, 1969), 42-44
[I reverted to an older image taken in Siem Reap, although we stayed a month in 2018.}
I started travelling internationally right after finishing college when I took a teaching position in Kuwait. Over the decades of my career, my partner and I have continued to work in or explore different parts of the world. More recently, since taking early retirement, we manage to spend around five months away during Canadian winters.
I kept track of all the places with a blogged list. In 2018, I decided it would be useful to find a single, personal image to represent each country I've visited. I have put these into a single Flickr Album. A photograph may occasionally be updated if we have a return visit.
These are organized alphabetically. You should be able to go forward or background from the image's main page where you can also see the names, and dates. In most cases the EXE date is correct. Some images may have been scanned and dates approximated.
Several months ago, I downloaded the free Nik Collection, but never really gave it much of a try because I'd been using Topaz for so long, it was just easier to go to the familiar than to start learning something new. Also, the few times I did give Nik a try, I found myself at a point where I wanted to do something more with the image that I couldn't do with Nik that I could do with Topaz, so I just reverted back to Topaz.
But, for the most part, I created this b&w image using Nik's Silver EFex Pro, though I did touch it up a bit with Topaz Adjust at the end. I'm quite happy with the results and will likely be giving Nik more of a chance in the future, especially for b&w.
Reverted back to a old style for abit of a change...

Another day out today where I had to revert to the flash gun to produce a photo due to the grey sky's, not the best choice in location or pov so I was lucky to get this shot before the bird got to low and the long grass obscured itself.

This blossom is from the red echinacea plant that half of its bloom has reverted back to purple due to its dominant trait or cross pollination.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and faves! They are encouraging as I continue on my photographic journey.
I really like the way the Clematis seed head forms, they are quite pretty and interesting to look at but if you want to try and grow new Clematis with the seeds from your original plant its not as simple as I would have expected. It takes quite a long time and its also possible that the seedlings when grown will not be the same as the one you removed the seeds from as they can revert back to the original stock it came from.
Selfie in reflection - Taken in the kitchen reflected in the smoked splashbacks! Just read the brief for the theme in LCoF and decided this may not be macro enough! But figured I'd put it up anyway. I'l revert to one of my earlier ones. Have a great weekend folks. Keep on smiling ;0)
Taxiing to depart rwy 27L operating flight EI155 to DUB on its first visit to LHR.
With Aer Lingus from Mar-21 to Nov-21 when it became G-EIRH for Aer Lingus UK then reverted to EI-LRH for Aer Lingus 9-May-23.
i think i reverted back to a starbucks addict this summer haha
this shot is so normal, but i really like it for some reason. I couldn't figure how to add text in to make this look good, but after looking at it for awhile, i decided that leaving it the way it is is the best. Of course I edited the lighting because the lighting in my room is good occasionally. most of the time the light is just....dull haha.
you guys may not like this, but i really like how it came out. tell me what you think? (:
hope everyone has a super sunday!!! i have 2 more days of summer and i'm NOT wasting it haha! today my friends are coming to my place for pool/billiards, then tomorrow i'm going to the CNE (AKA the EX). :D
thanks for the explored guys ♥
please ask for my permission to blog my photos.
Reverting all those forgotten curls back to their glory took no time in the hands of their housemate. But to what end? Stay tuned!
These, I suppose, would have to be called whitebells, nestling amongst the bluebells. My understanding is that if you plant hyacinths out (as I have done), they revert to blue (or white) bells.
90026 still sporting Grand Central livery is back to working the usual DB Cargo electric workings on the West Coast main line following confirmation that the GC Blackpool North service has been shelved. Seen rattling towards Rugeley Trent Valley in tandem with 90036 Driver Jack Mills working 4M25 Mossend to Daventry.
Reverted to PH-LXR 4-Jul-03 then became PK-ECE for Sky Aviation.
Preserved on display at Ninos Edutainment Park, Batam City.
I have reverted to an Australian accent for these readings: not sure if people are liking it, though, because I have had views but no comments on the other one...
Pictures: Naturalist’s Pocket Magazine; or, Compleat Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, 1800-1801. Portrait of Sir Joseph Banks, engraved by William Dickinson after Sir Joshua Reynolds. Herbarium specimen of Banksia from the collection of Banks and Solander.
BANKSIA INCOGNITA
Those first landfalls, gaining firm legs
After months of open sea, and the creaking
Of hempen rigging, can only have bewildered,
And the sounds of the morning, as Banks awoke,
Made him know how far from England he had strayed.
Above the sea spray, the heath resounding
With guttural twin notes of honeyeaters, plying
The tall, nectared inflorescences,
The lapping of the pigmy possum, drowned
By the laughing of kookaburras
And the chunter of their children –
Were there echoes of these, in the herbarium,
Where the pressed inflorescences were painted,
And the cones, bristling with hooked beard hairs,
Examined, compared with the fruits of pines?
Source material: NPM, Volume 2. The genus Banksia was first described by the Endeavour’s botanist, Joseph Banks. See Patrick O’Brien, Joseph Banks: A Life, Chicago, 1987, p. 232.

the same picture as the last one, just flipped upside-down and in monochrome. it's amazing how much a few minor tweaks can completely change the atmosphere of a photograph. the previous one looks like a total other-worldly dreamscape to me -- this one does as well, but not as strongly...the stars in this one are much more magnificent though, so that adds a lot of magic. i don't usually do upload multiple edits of stuff, but the difference between these two was so great, and they both looked super cool, so alas.
... Sin achantarse, emperrado en lo suyo, el joven intenta liberar el faldón de la casaca, pone un pie en los flechastes y luego el otro, trepa un poco, y en ésas llega una bala cabrona y le pega en una pierna con un crujido al romper el hueso, craj, hace (Marrajo lo oye partirse como si fuera una rama), y el guardiamarina emite un quejido ahogado antes de soltarse y caer de espaldas mientras Marrajo tira de él desesperadamente, ven aquí, joder, y sólo gracias a tenerlo cogido por el faldón logra atraerlo hasta la cubierta, evitando que se vaya al mar.
Entonces (cosas de la vida) el barbateño se vuelve loco. Pero loco de atar, o sea. Absolutamente majareta. Mientras el chico se arrastra por la cubierta dejando un reguero de sangre y rompiendo como puede tiras de su camisa para hacerse un torniquete en el muslo, Marrajo se inclina sobre él, le quita en dos manotazos la bandera de la cintura, se pone en pie, y encaramándose por los tablones rotos de la regala a la mesa de guarnición, importándole ya todo un huevo, agita el paño a gualdrapazos en dirección al tres puentes inglés. Perroshijosdelagrandísimaputa, aúlla hasta que parece a punto de rompérsele la garganta. Mecagoenvuestrosmuertocabronesyenlaputaqueosechóalmundo, joder todo ya. Por mis dos huevos. Por tós mis muertos. Por Cristo y la Virgen que los parió.
-¿Y sabéis lo que os digo?... ¿Sabéis lo que os digo, casaconesjodíosporculo?... ¿Queréis saberlo?... ¡¡¡Puesquemevaisachuparelcipoteeeee!!!
Y luego, ronco de gritar, sordo de sus propias voces, oyendo como un rumor confuso, lejano, los estampidos de los disparos, los cañonazos, el ziaaang, ziaaang de las balas que buscan su cuerpo, Nicolás Marrajo Sánchez, natural de la ensenada de Barbate, provincia de Cádiz, hijo de madre poco clara, sin trabajo ni profesión conocida salvo la de pícaro, contrabandista, rufián y buscavidas, escoria de las Españas, reclutado forzoso por un piquete de leva en la taberna La Gallinita de Cai, se envuelve la bandera roja y amarilla en torno a la cintura, remetiéndosela por la faja, y se pone a trepar como puede por los obenques, tropezando, resbalando en los balanceos y sujetándose de milagro, mientras todos los ingleses del mundo y la perra que los trajo apuntan con sus mosquetes y le disparan, pam, pam, pam, y él sigue trepando y trepando ajeno a todo, entre docenas de plomazos que pasan zumbando, ziaaang, ziaaang, y él sube y sube y requetesube, una mano, un pie, otra mano, otro pie, entrecortado el aliento, los pulmones en carne viva y los ojos desorbitados por el esfuerzo, blasfemando y jiñándose a gritos en cuanto albergan el cielo y la tierra, cagoendiezycagoentodo, sin mirar abajo, ni al mar, ni al paisaje desolador de la batalla, ni al tres puentes inglés cuyos tiradores, poco a poco, sorprendidos sin duda por esa solitaria figura que trepa al palo del barco moribundo con una bandera sujeta a la cintura, van dejando de disparar, y lo observan, y hasta algunos empiezan a animarlo con gritos burlones al principio y admirados luego, hasta que el fuego de la mosquetería cesa por completo. Y cuando por fin Marrajo llega a la boca de lobo de la cofa, y allí, las manos temblando, con uñas y dientes, como puede, anuda la bandera y ésta se despliega en la brisa (el puto león con la lengua fuera), desde el navío inglés llega el clamor de los enemigos que lo vitorean."
Cabo Trafalgar. Arturo Pérez Reverte
Encargo para una felicitacion navideña. Gracias a toda la familia por vuestra cordialidad!!!
Felices fiestas a todos!!!
reverting to those sunset on a beach-type shots again until I can get around to putting something new and original together...
just haven't been shooting anything new in a while
Obsession
Almost inevitably I revert to shots of details and macro stuff. That’s not an apology – simply a statement of fact.
I love the intricate structure of lichen and how vibrant it looks in winter. The strand of a spider’s web is an added bonus.
Once again I was too lazy to change the lens on my camera, so this was taken with my 45mm.
