L'Ordre des Odonates regroupe les Libellules et les Agrions ou Demoiselles.
Ce sont tous des insectes de taille moyenne ou grande. La plus grande libellule actuelle mesure 19 cm d'envergure, celle de son ancêtre du Paléozoïque atteignait 60 cm.
Les Odonates ont de grands yeux composés et des antennes de très petite taille.
Leur appareil buccal est de type broyeur.
Les Odonates sont des prédateurs tant à l'état larvaire qu'adulte. Les 4 ailes sont de taille égale (Zygoptères) ou peu différente (Anisoptères).
L'abdomen comporte 10 segments bien apparents et un 11ème réduit.
Les larves sont aquatiques et peuvent vivre entre 1 et 3 ans.
L'accouplement se déroule en vol, le mâle tient la femelle au niveau du cou par une sorte de pince située à l'extrémité de son abdomen, la femelle courbe alors le sien vers l'avant pour mettre en contact son orifice génital terminal avec celui du mâle situé au niveau du 9ème segment.
Il y a 5700 espèces d'Odonates dans le Monde et environ 120 en Europe.

The Order of Odonata includes Dragonflies and Agrions or Damselflies.
They are all medium or large insects. The largest dragonfly today measures 19 cm in scale, that of its ancestor from the Paleozoic reached 60 cm.
Odonata have large compound eyes and very small antennae.
Their oral appliance is of the grinder type.
Odonata are predators both in larvae and in adults. The 4 wings are of equal size (Zygoptères) or little different (Anisoptères).
The abdomen has 10 clearly visible segments and a reduced 11th.
The larvae are aquatic and can live between 1 and 3 years.
Mating takes place in flight, the male holds the female at the level of the neck by a sort of forceps located at the end of his abdomen, the female then curves hers forward to bring her terminal genital orifice into contact with that of the male located at the level of the 9th segment.
There are 5700 species of Odonates worldwide and around 120 in Europe.

PS: A big thank you to all those who choose to watch, comment and like my photos. It is very appreciated, as you have noticed, I no longer respond directly to your comment just to say in fact "thank you and have a good day", but in return I will leave a small trace with you on one or more of your editions. thank you for your understanding
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!
S. Truncata Group 'Flor de Maio Alba'; note the very pointed teeth at the end of the segments, zygomorphic flowers held above the horizontal, and yellow pollen.
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.
flic.kr/p/2j5vm49
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 description, the flower of May WHITE.
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.
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.

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.

Bird Island
Newfoundland
These birds come to the island every year to nest. This just shows a small segment of the island. The majority of them are murres.
These mating thick-headed flies look almost identical to the mason wasp that I photographed and posted on Flickr yesterday! However, they are flies and not wasps, if you can believe that, and so have no ability to sting. But that's no comfort to area bumble bees, for after mating here, the female (on the bottom) waits for a bumble bee to land on a flower and start gathering pollen. Then she pounces on its back and pries an opening between the bumble bee's abdominal segments and lays an egg before flying off. Notice the hook-like structure on her last abdominal segment for doing this, working like a can-opener. After hatching inside the bumble bee, the baby thick-headed fly starts eating the bumble bee's insides. It takes about 10 days for the larval thick-headed fly to eviserate the bumble bee and just before dying, the bumble bee buries itself in the dirt, giving the fly larva a nice safe winter home. Next spring, the thick-headed fly larva will pupate and then emerge as a new adult thick-headed fly when the bumble bees are abundant and active.
The Three Sisters have lots of snow and today they also have a mixture of clouds hanging about them. These closely spaced peaks are part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Cascade Range in western North America extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. Each peak is more than 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in elevation. This photo includes Broken Top on the left, the South Sister and then Middle and North Sister that look like one peak. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Sisters_(Oregon)

Took a detour friends....;-).
First take with my new toy. Yes, I finally took the plunge and bought the D700 FX. This was taken today with nikkor AF-S 14-24 2.8G ED lens.
My D80 deveLoped a problem - it refused to recognise the Sigma 10-20 lens. Apparently D80's develop this after 6-8 months i.,e error message f--. Will have to get it across to the service center. Thus, I found a good excuse ;-) LOL
Also I had to get ready for my shoot assignment back to Nikoi in 10 days ;-)
I do find the details much crisper even at ISO 200
The sky is PSB - 2 Stage - 1 stage blended from 5 exposures. 2nd stage is layer masked from a single exposure. Rocks - blended from 4 exposures.
"In the centre of the Memorial Rotunda is an open circle surrounded by a ring of dark Tennessee marble. The walls are lined with two colours of Tennessee marble and decorated with 23 carat gold leaf, which was applied during the restoration. The terrazzo floor is constructed from tiny segments of marble and granite that were imported from Italy".

e molto apprezzato da questo BRUCO .
I bruchi (appartenenti al tipo morfologico delle larve eruciformi) hanno forma allungata e aspetto vermiforme. In essi si distingue il capo, seguito da 3 segmenti toracici e 10 segmenti addominali. L'apparato boccale è masticatore. Nel capo sono presenti anche degli occhi semplici detti stemmata (mancano quelli composti) e antenne piuttosto ridotte. I segmenti toracici portano tre paia di zampe articolate, mentre nell'addome sono presenti le pseudozampe (false zampe), in genere 5 paia. Il tegumento presenta un numero variabile di peli o setole (con funzione sensoriale oppure di rivestimento e protezione, talvolta urticanti), sparse o distribuite a ciuffi, anche su tubercoli.
Come in tutti gli insetti, l'accrescimento non può realizzarsi in maniera continua ma avviene mediante mute. Il numero degli stadi larvali varia di norma da 3 a 5. Spesso passando da uno stadio all'altro cambiano la colorazione e l'aspetto generale, tanto che in alcuni casi si fa fatica a riconoscere i bruchi di età diversa come appartenenti alla stessa specie.
Chissà cosa diventerà questo da grande ...

(Sagittarius serpentarius)
On the road from Seregenti to Ngorongoro Crater
Tanzânia
On the way back from Lake Ndutu to our lodge in the Ngorongoro Crater, on our very last day before the journey home, I was already convinced that I would miss this species once again. We had seen it back in 2005 in Samburu, before I had been bitten by the photography bug. With my cameras already half-packed, I spotted by pure luck this bird hunting right by the roadside.
"Stop, stop! Please go back! Go back! A little more, more!"
I started shooting, but my main camera, with its focus point locked, would only focus on the bird's feet. I couldn't understand what was happening and had to frantically switch to my backup camera. I realized later that I had accidentally locked the focus point. It was a moment of pure stress! While it's not yet the perfect shot I envision for this species, it serves at least as a photographic record of the encounter!
-----------------------------
No regresso do Lago Ndutu para o nosso lodge na cratera de Ngorongoro, já no nosso último dia, antes da viagem de regresso a casa, e quando eu já estava convencido de que, mais uma vez, iria perder esta espécie (que tínhamos visto em 2005 em Samburu, ainda antes de eu ter sido contaminado por este vício da fotografia), e já com as câmaras semi-arrumadas, avistei por mera sorte esta ave em plena caça junto à estrada.
"Stop, stop! Please go back! Go back! More, more!"
Comecei a fotografar, mas a minha câmara, com o ponto de foco bloqueado, só focava as patas. Não estava a perceber o que se passava e tive de mudar apressadamente para a câmara de reserva. Só depois percebi que tinha bloqueado o ponto de focagem. Foi um stress! Mas, não sendo a foto que eu imaginava para esta espécie, fica pelo menos como registo fotográfico!

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.

The Roman Bridge at Saint-Thibéry (French: Pont romain de Saint-Thibéry) was a Roman segmental arch bridge on the Via Domitia in southern France. The partly surviving structure crossed the river Hérault in Saint-Thibéry, 17 km east of Béziers.
The ancient bridge had nine arches with spans of 10–12 m. The roadway rested on wide piers, which were protected on both sides by arched floodways and large cutwaters. The original length of the structure is estimated as 150 m, its road width as 4 m. The missing spans are known to have been destroyed by flood some time before 1536.
The remaining arches, with a span to rise ratio of 3.3:1 (115°) or more, show a visibly flatter profile than the semi-circular arches usually preferred by Roman engineers (180°). The rib thickness varies between one-tenth to one-twentieth of the span, corresponding to a common ratio also observed at a number of other Roman stone bridges. The structure is dated to the reign of emperor Augustus (30 BC–14 AD). Immediately upstream an old water mill and its millrace is located.
