The Emerald Damselfly is a medium-sized damselfly which characteristically holds its wings open at 45 degrees when perched, unlike other damselflies. Males are metallic green with powder blue eyes, thorax sides and bands across the first and last two abdominal segments. The females are similar but lack any blue colouring.
This mating pair were seen near a pond in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire on 8th August 2020.
as always, i get the biggest kick out of reading your interpretations of my abstractions! if you do not focus too much, i think you could see a torso of a man, like a pharoah's posture, sitting down. the fragmentation is a breakdown, altho one person saw this as a build-up. i love you guys!

So, I really don't do this often, but I felt I should post a closeup crop of a segment of my post from the other day, SilverBlueSwirls, in dedication to a great contact of mine Sarah P. Sarah asked a very simple question about the photo in a note box asking "Who is this?" Now several of you said you saw faces in the image, but I am dedicating this to Sarah, because she is going through some very somber moments in her life, and I felt knowing what she is going through I could not get it out of mind, that perhaps the image might hold some meaning for her.
For those of who don't know or who have not visited Sarah P's photostream, you should as you will experience an incredible treat!! She is extraordinarily talented, and produces some of the most creative images you will find out there. If you visit, please be nice and offer her your well wishes, as she is a special person going through a rough time, and I am sure your support will be appreciated.
Please see the original image in the comment box below, and feel free to click on it to see Sarah's original note left on the image. To give a bit more to the story, nobody was remotely near enough to cause this reflection, I was taking a shot of water off one of the West Side Piers in NY, and the surface I was shooting was at least 30 feet from anything let alone any people.
Lastly, the image has been enhanced by me in attempt to see the face more clearly, but has not been painted or drawn on to add any elements to it. If it is indeed a reflection of a face, it is comforting that the person is smiling!
Sarah, I hope all is going as well as possible and you are doing fine. I will be around later to check on everyone's streams, this has post has consumed me, and I hope is taken the right way. Thank you all!
Aeshna isoceles is a small hawker dragonfly that is found in Europe, mostly around the Mediterranean, and the lowlands of North Africa. Its common name in English is green-eyed hawker. In Britain it is a rare and local species and is known as the Norfolk hawker. It has a brown colour with green eyes and clear wings and also a yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment which gave rise to its scientific name. It used to be in the genus Anaciaeschna as it has several differences from the other members of the genus Aeshna. Its specific name is often spelt isosceles.
A. isoceles is one of only two brown hawkers found in Europe, the other is A. grandis. Both have a brown thorax and abdomen but A. isoceles has green eyes and clear wings and a diagnostic yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment. The hindwings have an amber patch at their base. In contrast A. grandis has yellowish wings and blueish eyes. The green eye of A. isoceles stands out even in flight and in practice it is not difficult to tell these two dragonflies apart. In addition to the morphological differences A. isoceles is on the wing much earlier in the year than A. grandis.
I just wanted to take a very quick and simple photograph to show how gorgeous the work is on David Heather's rebooted Seventeen suit. I'm even wearing a neutral to do it.
Me.
In a neutral.
Being all understated and.... stuff.
Sometimes things just speak for themselves.
It's just that usually I'm being too loud to hear them when they do.

Ullswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District, being approximately nine miles long and with a maximum depth of slightly more than 200 feet. Many regard Ullswater as the most beautiful of the English lakes: it has been compared to Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. It is a typical Lake District narrow "ribbon lake" formed after the last ice age when a glacier scooped out the valley floor and when the glacier retreated, the deepened section filled with meltwater which became a lake. A total of three separate glaciers formed the lake. The surrounding mountains give Ullswater the shape of a stretched 'Z' with three distinct segments (or 'reaches') that wend their way through the surrounding hills.
Regenbogen (Segment) in der Landschaft nördlich von Idstein im Taunus.
Es ist schon merkwürdig, das ausgerechnet gestern an diesem Tag mehrere Regenbögen über Idstein erschienen (siehe unten).
(In Erinnerung an "Lars" ✟11.03.2018 und "Xenia" ✟12.03.2018, Hunde die wir oft beim dog-walk trafen und beide innerhalb weniger Stunden über die Regenbogenbrücke diese Welt verliessen)
Rainbow (segment) in the landscape north of Idstein (Taunus hills).
It's strange that just yesterday, that day, several rainbows appeared over Idstein (see below).
(In memory of "Lars" ✟11.03.2018 and "Xenia" ✟12.03.2018, dogs we often met at the dog-walk and both within a few hours on the rainbow bridge left this world)

May flower: the cactus that offers beauty instead of thorns:
The May flower - common name of the species Schlumbergera truncata - is one of those plants that we tend to despise most of the year. It is, after all, a true botanical commonplace:
since the days of grandma's gardens, it has been hanging around on any balcony or housed in cachepots on some furniture in the living room. It is also a champion of popularity in floras - ready to be pushed by sellers every time the consumer searches for a plant “for beginners”.
This is all true, yes. But, as I was able to feel myself this week, the fact that it is party rice does not eliminate the extraordinary value and the pleasure of having a May flower inside the house. And pleasure is precisely in the miracle that works, out of nowhere, in your metabolism. During most of the year, the May flower is a discreet little thing, with its branches formed by fragile and evergreen buds releasing at most new buds. Suddenly, sometime between the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, behold that dull plant explodes in buttons with extremely striking shapes and colors - mine, for example, pump out between May and July.
After flowering, it often withers, loses part of the buds and spends the rest of the year trying to recover from the excruciating effort of flowering.
The May flower is from the cactus family, but has no thorns. In its original habitat, the Atlantic Forest, it presents an epiphyte behavior. In other words: like orchids and many bromeliads, it uses tree trunks as a support. Thanks to horticultural improvement, the variety of colors available on the market today is immense. You can splurge, as you can see in this photo that illustrates this post, the very rare flower of May YELLOW.
Despite the fact that the May flower is a peaceful and favorable cultivation plant, some precautions are mandatory to avoid unpleasantness. Here is a basic guide to success:
1) SOIL - As it is a succulent, the may flower requires perfect drainage. She does, however, enjoy a lot of organic matter. So, plant it in pots with holes, filled with pebbles and sand at the bottom and the remaining two thirds completed with vegetable soil. Curiosity: if these conditions are met, the May flower can grow a lot and live for years in small pots.
2) WATERING - Do not overdo it and do not leave dishes filled with water under the pot, to avoid waterlogging and root rot. But also be sure to water frequently - two to four times a week, depending on the weather. She likes the slightly damp earth.
3) LUZ - This is, perhaps, the main catch. The May flower hates receiving direct sunlight, but enjoys well-lit environments. The right places for her, therefore, are balconies and bright interiors, but fresh. Or under the treetops.
4) FLOWERING - The May flower releases its buds when two variables combine: the nights become longer and the minimum temperatures are close to 10-15 degrees. And so it lives up to its name: in the Southeast of Brazil, these ideal conditions are usually registered between mid-May and the end of June.
5) POST-FLOWERING STRESS - May flower is a perennial species, that is, it does not die after giving flowers. Often, however, it cannot withstand the thud of its metabolic explosion: after so much effort, the stem buds become wilted and break easily. In the extreme, the plant dies from stress. To avoid this, it is necessary to redouble the care with nutrition. After flowering, increase the watering slightly and add a little earthworm humus or phosphorus-rich fertilizer (the “P” of the renowned NPK trio).
Last tip: take advantage of the loose buds to produce new seedlings. It's very easy, just fix a piece of them in moist soil.
Macro Mondays theme - Redux 2017 - My Favorite theme of the year (2017). I chose the theme THREE although ( high Key, Bokeh, Side Lit) all fit the theme.
Three Clementine segments side lit by the sun, I was fortunate here I was thinking of how to light my subject when sun offered it's services, if, for only a brief and short time.
HMM!!!

In 1957, Ford introduced the Ranchero, and established a new market segment in the U.S. of an automobile platform based coupé utility. In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero. The original El Camino and Ranchero would compete directly only in the 1959 model year. The El Camino was introduced for the 1959 model year two years after the Ford Ranchero. According to Chevrolet stylist Chuck Jordan, GM's Harley Earl had suggested a coupé pickup in 1952.
The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet in 1959 and 1960, and from 1964 to 1987. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.
Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.
The 1982 (through the final 1987) El Camino sported a new frontal appearance with a crosshatch grille flanked by quad rectangular headlights. New under the hood for 1982 was a 105 hp (78 kW) 5.7-liter (350-cubic-inch) Diesel V8, which was also offered in Chevrolet's full-size cars. Though mileage with the diesel was commendable, it was an expensive option and would eventually amass a dismal repair record. Gasoline-engine choices were unchanged, except Chevrolet's 229-cubic-inch (3.8-liter) V6 was now standard in California-bound cars, replacing Buick's 231-cubic-inch V6.
In 1983, the 4.4-liter V8 was gone, leaving the 5.0-liter version as the only optional gas V8. The standard engine was again Chevrolet's 3.8-liter V6 with 110 hp (82 kW), though California cars, once again, got a Buick V6 with similar specifications. Continuing on the options list was the 5.7-liter V8 Diesel with 105 hp (78 kW). The sister Malibu sedan and wagon were discontinued after the 1983 model year.
For 1985, GM shifted El Camino production to Mexico, and the new fuel-injected 4.3 L V6 became the base engine through 1987. El Camino production ended quietly in late 1987.
I don't know the exact year of the one in the photos, but it's part of the final series produced from 1982 - 1987. I think it happens to be the nicest looking versions of the entire series made.
La Pique d'Endron (2472m), Pyrénées Ariégeoises, France
Type F11 and L for best viewing. You really need to zoom in to see the climbers.
This is a picture of my most recent hike in the Pyrenees, with my son, two of his friends and a mountain guide. As anticipated, my condition was not good enough for the final segment along the ridge up to the top, and I preferred to stay at Pic du Sarrazi, watching them climb and waiting for them to come back.
C'est une photo de ma dernière sortie dans les Pyrénées, avec mon fils, deux de ses amis et un guide de montagne. Comme je l'avais plus ou moins prévu, je n'étais pas assez en forme pour le tronçon final, le long de la crête jusqu'au sommet, et j'ai préféré rester à les regarder grimper, en les attendant au Pic du Sarrazi.

Along the Ice Age Trail Greenbush Segment in the Kettle Moraine
Kettle Moraine also called the Interlobate Moraine, the Kettle Moraine is a series of ridges, 120 miles long and only a few miles wide, in eastern Wisconsin. The combined action and deposits of the Green bay and Lake Michigan lobes of the continental ice sheet formed the Kettle Moraine. The Kettle Moraine is the birthplace of the Ice Age Trail and the subject of the first published study of interlobate glaciation in 1878.

Différent de l'araignée dont le thorax et l'abdomen sont segmentés, cet arachnide voit ces deux sections réunies en un seul morceau. Il se distingue aussi de l'araignée par un nombre inférieur de yeux (deux), par son incapacité à tisser une toile et par son absence de glande à venin. Il est totalement inoffensif pour l'homme.
