Zinnien stammen ursprünglich aus Mexiko, wo sie schon vor der Ankunft der Spanier von den Azteken kultiviert wurden. Heute gehören ihre leuchtenden Blüten zu jedem Sommerblumenbeet. Eine Augenweide im Garten und als Strauß! Ihrer Heimat entsprechend, zeichnen sie sich durch eine hohe Hitze- und Trockenheitsverträglichkeit aus und dienen oftmals Schmetterlingen als willkommene Nektarpflanze. Außerdem können Zinnien zur Abwehr von Nematoden, auch Fadenwürmer genannt, zwischen Tomaten gepflanzt werden.
Ich hatte im Frühjahr 10 Pflanzen auf dem Wochenmarkt gekauft. Nun blühen sie der Reihe nach auf und siehe da: weiß, gelb, rosa, pink, korallenrot... mein Blumenbeet leuchtet in allen Farben!

Scrap metal: robust and sustainable.
a large, robust warbler commonly found in dense reed beds along freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers, marshes, and canals. It favors tall stands of common reed (Phragmites australis) for nesting and foraging, often choosing territories with a mix of open water and dense vegetation. These reed beds offer both concealment from predators and abundant insect prey, which the bird relies on during the breeding season. The species is highly territorial, with males singing loudly from exposed reed stems to defend their nesting sites and attract mates.
In terms of distribution, the great reed warbler breeds across a wide range of Europe and western Asia, extending from southern Scandinavia and central Europe through eastern Europe into parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. Its breeding range corresponds closely to the availability of large wetland habitats. Unlike many other reed-dwelling warblers, the great reed warbler is a long-distance migrant, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in tropical and southern regions. Migration takes place in two main phases: birds leave European breeding grounds in late summer or early autumn and return in spring. These migrations are extensive, and individuals often travel thousands of kilometers between breeding and wintering sites, demonstrating strong site fidelity and a reliance on intact stopover habitats along their migratory routes.

Truly robust, hearty and heavily built, this cap fully 10" (25cm) across, while the girth of it's stem as thick as my forearm. Attached ring, perhaps double, showing how and where the cap was coupled to the stem, in early stages.
A magnificent autumn dweller of the spruce woods, I have no idea of it's identification, other than to guess it is in the Russula family, a family of... thousands.
My best guess is Catathelasma ventricosa.... or Catathelasma imperialis, 'king of mushrooms'. A grand moniker for this hefty beauty.

The Blood Moon is a no frills starfighter with no explosives, energy weapons, or terribly robust shields. Its job is punching new ventilation shafts through enemy ships with its two powerful cannons, and letting the vacuum of space do the dirty work. It relies on its speed to get away as it has little defense against return fire.
I built this over the course of about 5 weeks. The ideas that led to it started off long before that, though, as I was toying with an idea for a drone fighter. I wanted to revisit the color scheme that I used in my cyberpunk hopper car. Dark red as the main color earned it the working title Blood Moon. I got stuck on that for awhile, then started over with a very different design in a different color scheme, now featuring a cockpit. After going away on vacation for a bit, I returned and started over again, returning to the original color scheme, and something a bit closer to the original concept than the direction I'd started to veer off into with the first restart.
On top of my original sketch, I took some inspiration from present day lifting body aircraft. With the exception of the tail, the side profile has a deliberate airfoil shape.
The thing that finally got me going somewhere, after spinning my wheels for a while, was the #69754 tile shooter, which I used in the engines of my previous spacecraft, the Astral Vortex.
The cockpit came next. I really wanted to put the nose way out in front on this one, because I've done a lot of hiding it between cannons or Vic Viper prongs on past builds, which has let me focus less on the shaping. I originally wanted to brick-build a sleeker version of the classic 2507 windscreen in trans neon green. I didn't have those hinged wing parts that make the side in the right color, so I temporarily used black, and by the time I got the parts in my intended color it had evolved and I liked the black better.
Another of my frequent habits, showing up in nearly every spacecraft I've built since the Ugly Duckling, is using a lot of white brick in my hulls. I like that look, and I certainly don't plan to abandon it, but this time around I decided to use none at all for the sake of trying something different. The goal was to achieve a darker grittier look, while still keeping the high contrast that comes with spanning a wide range of shades.
This is one of my more complicated builds in terms of weird out-of-system geometry. There are few 90 degree angles to be found, anywhere. They only visible part with studs not at some weird out of system angle from the frame is the small recessed panel in front of the intake below the black pipe.
---
The 45 degree engines were one of the features retained from the original sketch. These were tricky, as I wanted to make the exhaust nozzles angled, while keeping the ridges on top straight to make it clear that they were cut at an angle as opposed to just pointing the wrong direction. The 45 degree tiles made the angle easy, but fitting all of that into the extremely tight space behind the intakes was another matter, as adding the vertical tiles between the triangle tiles requires a bit of extra structure.
The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a rugged, single-engine, short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft introduced in 1947, designed for versatility in remote and challenging environments. Known for its reliability, it became a favorite for bush flying, capable of operating on wheels, skis, or floats, making it ideal for transporting passengers and cargo to isolated areas. With its robust construction and adaptability, the Beaver has earned legendary status in aviation history and remains in use worldwide for both civilian and military purposes.
The Desert Channels Region is a largely unmodified environment with robust pastoral, mining, and tourism industries. Home to 14, 500 people the region covers 510 000 square kilometres, (about one-third of the state of Queensland) and incorporates the Queensland section of the Lake Eyre Basin. This region is valued for its unique and healthy inland river systems, landscapes, cultural heritage, sustainable communities and production.
The Thomson River forms part of the Lake Eyre Basin. The river was named by the explorer, Edmund Kennedy, in the 1840s. The northernmost headwaters of the river begin at Torrens Creek, inland from Charters Towers. The watercourse becomes the Thomson just north of the town of Muttaburra, where the channels of Landsborough Creek, Towerhill Creek, and Cornish Creek meet. The river continues in the southwesterly direction, passing the towns of Longreach, Stonehenge, and Jundah, before joining with the Barcoo River north of Windorah to form Cooper Creek. This is the only place in the world where the confluence of two rivers forms a creek. As with all the rivers in the Lake Eyre Basin, the waters from the Thomson never reach the sea, and instead either evaporate or, in exceptional flooding, empty into Lake Eyre. Floods are not uncommon along the river, and, due to the flat nature of the country traversed, the river can then become many kilometres wide. The area which the river flows is semi-arid blacksoil plains.
Declared pest plants and animals have an enormous impact on the Longreach Region. Competition between these invasive pest plants and native Flora has seen the destruction of habitat. The loss of feed and breeding areas has seen rapid declines in some animal species. Longreach Regional Council is committed to the eradication of pest plants and animal species and has formulated a comprehensive Pest Management Plan.

Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti - Venice 1518 - 1594) - Crucifixion (1565) - oil on canvas dimensions 518 × 1224 cm. Chapter Room - Scuola Grande di San Rocco - Campo San Rocco - San Polo district Venice
German Kleinlokomotiven (literally: small locomotives) like the DRG Kö II (later: Köf II) were developed as locomotives with a low weight and driving power for light shunting duties. There were two classes, based on engine power. The Class II were engines which developed more than 40 (later 50) PS.
After tests with several trial locomotives, they were placed in service from 1932 onwards by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRG) and used on small stations for light shunting and marshalling work. They were intended to make the handling of goods traffic more economical. To do that an appropriately trained controller had to be able to handle shunting duties using the locomotive. Accordingly the locomotive was designed to be robust and easy to operate.
Robust, agile, and adaptable, the Vespula drone is ideal for all your security, protection and combat requirements.
Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti 1519 - 1594) Discovery of the body of Saint Mark (circa 1562-66) dimensions 405x405 cm - Pinacoteca di Brera - Milan
Nel 1562 Tommaso Rangone, il “guardian grande” della Scuola di San Marco a Venezia, commissionò a Tintoretto un ciclo pittorico raffigurante le storie del santo, che l’artista realizzò entro il 1566; la serie di grandi teleri, di cui faceva parte il Ritrovamento conservato in Pinacoteca, era dedicata alla vita del santo e a fatti miracolosi legati alla sua storia. L’opera raffigura l’istante in cui, mentre i veneziani estraggono i cadaveri dalle tombe alla ricerca di San Marco, questi appare e li ferma con gesto imperioso, dato che il suo corpo è già stato estratto dal sepolcro in fondo alla sala e giace ai suoi piedi; la presenza dell’indemoniato sulla destra della composizione accresce il tono miracoloso dell’episodio, cui assiste il committente abbigliato nelle vesti consoni al suo rango. Abile narratore, l’artista mette in scena il miracolo come se questo si svolgesse su un palcoscenico e forza le pose degli “attori” in movimenti scomposti ed enfatici: lo spettatore è trascinato nel cuore della vicenda grazie allo scorcio vertiginoso, che imprime allo spazio una straordinaria accelerazione in profondità accompagnata dallo scorrere della luce sulle arcate; il buio è attraversato da lampi di luci che sottolineano gli elementi cruciali del racconto, enfatizzano i volumi dei corpi ed esaltano il bianco innaturale dei cadaveri.
Tommaso Rangone, “grand guardian” of the Scuola di San Marco in Venice, commissioned Tintoretto in 1562 to paint a cycle depicting episodes associated with the saint, which the artist had completed by 1566. The cycle of large canvases, one of which is the Pinacoteca’s Finding of the Body of Saint Mark, recounted not only the saint’s life but also miracles in which he is alleged to have had a hand. This painting shows the moment when, as the Venetians are busy removing corpses from tombs in their search for Saint Mark’s body, the saint appears to them and imperiously commands them to stop because his body has already been removed from the tomb at the end of the room and is lying at their feet. The presence of a man possessed by devils on the right of the composition adds to the miraculous tone of the episode, which is being observed by the patron Rangone clad in attire befitting his rank. The artist, a skilled narrator, depicts the miracle as though it were taking place on a stage, forcing his “actors” to adopt theatrical and emphatic poses. The observer, or in this case the spectator, is drawn into the heart of the action by the dizzying foreshortening that impresses a profound acceleration on the picture’s spatial depth accentuated by the play of light on the arcades; the dark is split by flashes of light, underscoring the crucial elements in the story, emphasising the volume of the figures and amplifying the unnatural, ghostly pallor of the corpses.
They are just at this stage today and ready for a shot to be taken , when the flowers open they should be blue .
Hyacinthus is a small genus of bulbous, fragrant flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. These are commonly called hyacinths /ˈhaɪəsɪnθs/. The genus is native to the eastern Mediterranean (from the south of Turkey through to northern part of the region of Palestine).
Several species of Brodiea, Scilla, and other plants that were formerly classified in the lily family and have flower clusters borne along the stalk also have common names with the word "hyacinth" in them. Hyacinths should also not be confused with the genus Muscari, which are commonly known as grape hyacinths.
Hyacinthus grows from bulbs, each producing around four to six linear leaves and one to three spikes or racemes of flowers. In the wild species, the flowers are widely spaced with as few as two per raceme in H. litwinovii and typically six to eight in H. orientalis, which grows to a height of 15–20 cm (6–8 in). Cultivars of H. orientalis have much denser flower spikes and are generally more robust.
The genus name Hyacinthus was attributed to Joseph Pitton de Tournefort when used by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It is derived from a Greek name used for a plant by Homer, ὑάκινθος (hyákinthos), the flowers supposedly having grown up from the blood of a youth of this name accidentally killed by the god Zephyr. (The original wild plant known as hyakinthos to Homer has been identified with Scilla bifolia, among other possibilities.) Linnaeus defined the genus Hyacinthus widely to include species now placed in other genera of the subfamily Scilloideae, such as Muscari (e.g. his Hyacinthus botryoides) and Hyacinthoides (e.g. his Hyacinthus non-scriptus).
Hyacinthus was formerly the type genus of the separate family Hyacinthaceae; prior to that the genus was placed in the lily family Liliaceae.
Forgot to say -- March 7th is World Hyacinth Day .
This tall, robust, leafless aquatic plant can grow 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 ft) high. It forms a grass-like clump of triangular green stems that rise up from thick, woody rhizomes. Each stem is topped by a dense cluster of thin, bright green, thread-like stems around 10 to 30 cm (4 to 10 in) in length, resembling a feather duster when the plant is young. Greenish-brown flower clusters eventually appear at the ends of the rays, giving way to brown, nut-like fruits.
The younger parts of the rhizome are covered by red-brown, papery, triangular scales, which also cover the base of the culms. Botanically, these represent reduced leaves, so strictly it is not quite correct to call this plant fully "leafless".
Egyptians used the plant (which they called aaru) for many purposes, most famously for making papyrus. Its name in Greek and in English is widely believed to have come from Egyptian. Cyperus papyrus is now used mainly for decoration, as it is nearly extinct in its native habitat in the Nile Delta, where in ancient times it was widely cultivated.
Theophrastus's History of Plants (Book iv. 10) states that it grew in Syria, and according to Pliny's Natural History, it was also a native plant of the Niger River and the Euphrates.
Aside from papyrus, several other members of the genus Cyperus may also have been involved in the multiple uses Egyptians found for the plant. Its flowering heads were linked to make garlands for the gods in gratitude. The pith of young shoots was eaten both cooked and raw. Its woody root made bowls and other utensils and was burned for fuel. From the stems were made reed boats (seen in bas-reliefs of the Fourth Dynasty showing men cutting papyrus to build a boat; similar boats are still made in southern Sudan), sails, mats, cloth, cordage, and sandals. Theophrastus states that King Antigonus made the rigging of his fleet of papyrus, an old practice illustrated by the ship's cable, wherewith the doors were fastened when Odysseus slew the suitors in his hall (Odyssey xxi. 390) The "rush" or "reed" basket in which the Biblical figure Moses was placed may have been made from papyrus.

This is one of a series of snail shots. I'm switching from private to public ...no need to comment if you already have.
Compact, robust, and big-headed warbler. Males are striking with a black hood contrasting with whitish throat, grey back, and red eye-ring. Females are duller with a grey hood, white throat, and buff body. Common in many typical Mediterranean habitats including tall bushes, open woodlands, gardens, coastal scrub, and plantations; also in oases, acacia woodlands, and scrubby desert in non-breeding range.
Usually first detected by its song, a fast, angry-sounding rattling "ctret-tret-tret-tret-tret" or "tetwtweer-tik-tik-tik" with whispering in between. The call is a dry "tseck."
