The thought of spending days dressed like this, gradually shifting my mindset until I am submissive, where the inside matches the outside, that last moment when the other me is forced into the black and white uniform cage of a maid, where I automatically drop my gaze and address men as 'sir', knowing my place and loving the feel in every fibre of my feminine soul and realising with a delicious little shudder that my soul will always be that way.
A big one to visit on our list and after some fun and games accessing in the dead of night, we were successful.
This asylum was built at the end of the 19th century. It was initially used as a hospital for mentally ill patients and later it was used as a military academy. This location held the equipment where people were treated with ECT and operations to the nervous system.
The asylum closed it's doors in the end of the 20th century when there were laws passed that deemed that asylums had to close their doors.

For a number of years I've dropped by Hardy Falls in the Okanagan in the hopes of seeing an American Dipper. Finally, success! We got a brief, yet entertaining glimpse of this cool aquatic songbird. I hope to see it again someday!
Met this nice Austrian guy at Wharariki Beach on two consecutive evenings while on the hunt for some nice sunset shots. Two months later... turns out he's quite a successful and famous landscape photographer in Austria.
It was cold this morning at Willband Creek Park but the fact that this Great Blue Heron was fluffed up and perched in a nearby tree tells me likely his hunting was successful.
The first "successful" shoot with both boys - as in, both dogs are reasonably in focus and mostly in the picture.
The biggest difference between today there being a picture and Thursday there wasn't is that today Henry stayed.
Eventually.
It did take a few tries, which is why everything is shifted a bit to the right - I didn't get Henry back in exactly the same spot and I didn't take the time (and risk Henry moving) to recenter the camera.
Toby is still a work in progress, and is "managed" more than cued.
He knows that he needs to sit to get the Kibbles, but the fact I have a whole 1/4c scoop of Kibbles at hand (instead of just a Kibble or two) seems to be more distraction than he can stand at this point.
Next time I will switch to the training fanny pack (worn forward) and "hide" the Kibbles in there and see if that doesn't help.
Baby steps... or is that Puppy steps?
Henry is being a great Great Uncle, and Toby is as sweet as can be.
FWIW: I think Henry heard a noise in the house, which is why his ears are forward and he's gaze is a bit off - but I'll take it!

Magnolien haben eine ganz eigene faszinierende Schönheit.
Die Magnolien (Magnolia) sind eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Magnoliengewächse (Magnoliaceae), die etwa 230 Arten enthält. Die Gattung wurde nach dem französischen Botaniker Pierre Magnol benannt. Es sind Bäume oder Sträucher, sie stammen aus Ostasien und Amerika. Einige Magnolien-Arten und Sorten sind beliebte Ziergehölze.
Die Universität Bournemouth teilte am 4. April 2007 mit, die Rote Liste der Magnoliengewächse führe 132 von insgesamt 245 Arten als gefährdet. Als Hauptursachen der Bedrohung werden die Zerstörung der natürlichen Lebensräume der Magnolien für die Landwirtschaft sowie deren übermäßige Ausbeutung angesehen.
Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae.
The natural range of Magnolia species is rather scattered and includes eastern North America, Central America and the West Indies and east and southeast Asia. Some species are found in South America. Today many species of Magnolia and an ever increasing number of hybrids can also be found as ornamentals in large parts of North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The genus is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol, from Montpellier. See Origin of the name Magnolia.
Magnolia is an ancient genus. Having evolved before bees appeared, the flowers developed to encourage pollination by beetles. As a result, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are tough, to avoid damage by eating and crawling beetles. Fossilised specimens of M. acuminata have been found dating to 20 million years ago, and of plants identifiably belonging to the Magnoliaceae dating back to 95 million years ago. Another primitive aspect of Magnolias is their lack of distinct sepals or petals. The term tepal has been coined to refer to the intermediate element that Magnolia has instead. Magnolias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Giant Leopard Moth.
Magnolia grandiflora is the official state flower of both Mississippi and Louisiana.The flower's abundance in Mississippi is reflected in its state nickname, "Magnolia State". The magnolia is also the official state tree of Mississippi.
One of the oldest nicknames for Houston, Texas Is "The Magnolia City" due to the abundance of Magnolias growing along Buffalo Bayou.
In general, Magnolia is a genus which has attracted a lot of horticultural interest. Hybridisation has been immensely successful in combining the best aspects of different species to give plants which flower at an earlier age than the species themselves, as well as having more impressive flowers. One of the most popular garden magnolias is a hybrid, M. x soulangeana (Saucer magnolia; hybrid M. liliiflora x M. denudata).
The bark from M. officinalis has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is known as hou po (厚朴). In Japan, kōboku, M. obovata has been used in a similar manner. The aromatic bark contains magnolol and honokiol, two polyphenolic compounds that have demonstrated anti-anxiety and anti-angiogenic properties. Magnolia bark also has been shown to reduce allergic and asthmatic reactions.
Magnolia has attracted the interest of the dental research community because magnolia bark extract inhibits many of the bacteria responsible for caries and periodontal disease.In addition, the constituent magnolol interferes with the action of glucosyltransferase, an enzyme needed for the formation of bacterial plaque.

A pair of common moorhens has hatched in a pond within sight of my office.
We saw initially only two chicken, which even disappeared somewhat. But last week was a surprise with six others suddenly appearing.
The parents are really taking care of their breed, if any bird comes close to them, they will attack it to get the intruder away.
I had seen this dress at the Boscov's in Butler Pa and fell in love with it but they didn't have it in my size. I tried ordering it at the Boscov's close to my home but they didn't have my size there either and couldn't order it from another store for me. I took a chance and drove to the Boscov's in Warren Ohio and amazingly they had it in my size. I'll be wearing it out Saturday and taking more pictures then.
Red and white vapor clouds filled the skies over the Marshall Islands as part of NASA’s Equatorial Vortex Experiment (EVEX). The red cloud was formed by the release of lithium vapor and the white tracer clouds were formed by the release of trimethyl aluminum (TMA). These clouds allowed scientists on the ground from various locations in the Marshall Islands to observe the neutral winds in the ionosphere.

The Equatorial Vortex Experiment (EVEX) was successfully conducted during the early morning hours (eastern time) May 7 from Roi Namur, Republic of the Marshall Islands. A NASA Terrier-Oriole sounding rocket was launched at 3:39 a.m. EDT and was followed by a launch of Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket 90 seconds later. Preliminary indications are that both rockets released their vapor clouds of lithium or trimethyl aluminum, which were observed from various locations in the area, and all science instruments on the rockets worked as planned. More information on EVEX can be found at www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sounding-rockets/news/evex.html
These were the second and third rockets of four planned for launch during this year’s campaign in the Marshall Islands. The first and fourth rockets are supporting the Metal Oxide Space Cloud experiment (MOSC), which is studying radio frequency propagation.

The Nikon F was the first commercially successful Single Lens Reflex camera and changed the entire landscape of 35mm photography. The camera is entirely mechanical and allowed through the lens viewing and focusing. It is also capable of being used with a waist-level viewfinder if the prism is removed.
Olegas Truchanas chose this camera that we see here to create his most iconic images of the Tasmanian wilderness. Tomorrow we'll take a look at some of these in a short film about his life and work.

I decided to do something a little different this week. I was so busy all weekend so I wanted to do something more simple. I always stress out over concepts and forget that a picture doesn't need to be complicated to be successful.
This lovely bumble bee fell onto my sons arm in the garden yesterday and was obviously distressed probably because awaking from it's hibernation and not having food. I dissolved sugar with a little warm water and fed it.You can see it's proboscis taking up the syrup from the wall where I put him/her.After a good feed and 20 minutes warming up in the sunshine it was off! Mission accomplished!
NASA successfully launched a NASA Terrier-Improved Orion suborbital sounding rocket carrying student experiments with the RockOn/RockSat-C programs at 6 a.m., today
More than 200 middle school and university students and instructors participating in Rocket Week at Wallops were on hand to witness the launch.
Through RockOn and RockSat-C students are learning and applying skills required to develop experiments for suborbital rocket flight. In addition, middle school educators through the Wallops Rocket Academy for Teachers (WRATS) are learning about applying rocketry basics in their curriculum.
The payload flew to an altitude of 71.4 miles and descended by parachute into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Wallops. Payload recovery is in progress.
The next launch from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility is a Black Brant IX suborbital sounding rocket currently scheduled between 6 and 10 a.m., July 7.

This visit to my local reserve is the most successful visit so far this year in terms of photos.
Ladybirds are not a reason for that but I do find this photo interesting.
I can not find details of a ladybird with a white head like the one seen here so do not know what type it is. The other one is not that common but I do see them.
Help or explanation as to the white-headed one would be appreciated.
Soay sheep lambs on Hirta, St. Kilda, June 2015
The Soay sheep is an ancient breed, believed to be remnants of the earliest sheep kept in Europe in the Neolithic Era, and are small, short-tailed, usually brown with white bellies, and have naturally moulting fleeces. Due to their isolation they kept their neolithic gene material. Besides being ear-tagged and counted on a regular basis the sheep live completely independent from humans and are all over the place.
In June 2015 I had the privilege to spend some days camping on St. Kilda, a remote archipelago about 64 km north west of North Uig (Outer Hebrides) in the Atlantic Ocean. The main reason for this stay, observing puffins was not that successful, but St. Kilda offers a lot of other things both for the Wildlife and archeological and historical interested visitor. Having an adventurous mind and a high tolerance level for discomfort and wet, soaky and dirty personal belongings does not hurt either. However, it was a lifetime experience I am not wanting to miss.
St Kilda has a double status of both UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site.
Great egrets have black legs while white-phase great blue herons have much lighter legs. Herons also have slightly heavier beaks and “shaggier” feathers on their breast.
According to the Cornell University AllAboutBirds website more “than 95 percent of the Great Egrets in North America were killed for their plumes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.” That makes it a bit difficult to know exactly what the original populations were like and where they were distributed.
According to the Environment Canada website “counts in the Great Lakes have greatly increased since the 1970s, and the discovery of new colonies in southern Canada may reflect an ongoing northward expansion of the breeding range.”
This osprey isn't "empty-handed", as the next images from this series will reveal, but a clue to the full story may be seen as a small brown object sticking forward behind the point of attachment of the leading primaries. I'll post the remaining images tomorrow. The Celery Fields, Sarasota, FL: 25 February, 2020
I am floating on air as i have today obtained the next level at the Royal Photographic society for this panel&can now use the letters ARPS after my name. In order to get this level the RPS say that they must be "images of 'exceptional standard' This is a significant step up from the LRPS. At this stage a creative ability and a personal style (what makes your work unique to you), along with complete control of the technical aspects of photography must be evident."
a week or so ago I posted The female humming bird incubating some eggs on this nest.... Looks like a success. I would have loved to see mom feeding the babies but I didn't want to hang around too much.

The unmistakable Blackburn Buccaneer in the form of Royal Navy XN964 on display ay the Newark Air Museum, 27th March 2024.
The Buccaneer was designed as a carrier borne strike aircraft for the Royal Navy and was first flown in 1958, entering service with the Royal Navy in 1962. It also entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1969 and when the Royal Navy decommissioned the last of the large carriers in 1979 the Royal Navy aircraft transferred to the Royal Air Force. A highly successful aircraft it remained in service until March 1994.
XN964 is a Buccaneer S1, the first production model of the Buccaneer powered by a de Havilland Gyron Junior 101 turbojet engine. Forty Buccaneer S1’s were built, however all subsequent Buccaneers would be fitted with the more powerful Rolls Royce Spey turbofan engine. The Buccaneer S1 was taken out of service in 1970.
