A very useful groundcover perennial, often grown in dry, sunny areas with poor soil. Plants form a low, fast-spreading mat of silvery-grey leaves, studded with tiny white star flowers in late spring and early summer. An indestructible choice for difficult sites, but be sure to plant this where its spreading habit will not become a problem. Beautiful spilling over rock walls or on steep sunny slopes, used as a lawn substitute. Also grows well in tubs or mixed containers. Easily divided in spring or fall. Plants should be clipped hard or mowed (to 2 inches) after blooming to maintain a tidy habit.
Lleve el diablo lo hermoso
de mis cuernos,
Haga mis feos pies el
cielo eternos:
Así frecuentemente
El hombre se deslumbra con
lo hermoso;
Elige lo aparente,
Abrazando tal vez lo
más dañoso;
Pero escarmienta ahora
en tal cabeza.
El útil bien es la mejor
belleza.
Felix María de Samaniego.
The [useful] friend that i can remove or rezz everywhere, to change skin...or mood . To scream at or delete , to tell my fake story before i logoff...
...................................
All I have or should
want to be but never could
It's coming at, it's coming at, it's coming at my heart
To spoil my soul with fire
All my eyes can see is
born out of your imagery
It's coming at, it's coming at, it's coming at my heart
To scorch the earth with fire
Tell me who you really love
Tell me who you really love
Ein Kaffeelöffel und ein Winzling für Salz.
A teaspoon and a tiny (less than 1 cm) spoondwarf, useful for adding some salt for example.
Grass snake - non-venomous, useful. Years of conservation have made it a taxon of Least Concern. Occurs all over Europe. As a cold-blooded creature, it basked in the sun. You can often meet grass snakes run over by cars, which have chosen a public road or forest path as a place to bask.
This is the canal which links the Cagliari salt evaporation ponds (now dismissed) with the harbour. The salt collected in the ponds was loaded into barges and then a tug carried the train of barges to the harbour where the salt was unloaded to be shipped.
In ancient times the barges were pulled by horses.
Royal Star Magnolia
An early bloomer with large, fragrant, white, double flowers appearing before the foliage emerges in spring. A springtime thriller that will add a nice touch to the landscape as the seasons progress. Useful as an open-branched, multi-trunked large shrub or as a small specimen tree. Excellent cold and heat tolerance for a magnolia. Deciduous.

Nemophila, a popular flower that blooms in spring.
Every spring, I go to take photos in a large national park, famous for this flower, but it has been closed this year.
That's why this year I shot a Nemophila on a small flowerbed in a nearby park.
This specie lives in most of continental Europe. It kills its prey with a poison that paralyze and dissolve their internal organs in a few seconds. It is a useful specie in the garden to fight other insects.
The theme for MM is hand tool. My tiny scissors are just right for daisy cutting!
Thanks for views, favs and comments, much appreciated 👍💕
To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.

Lately I found my mind wandering as we wind ourselves into the new year of 2023. I decided to do a more thoughtful pose to work with some PS tools I've neglected for far too long to get the hang of them. Maybe, hah. Working in extreme closeup made me appreciate the work put into the eyebrows and eyes by Landgraff (his Unholy eyes are really cool), the brows alone are nicely detailed down to the tiniest hair and added scar. I'm wearing Cubic Cherry's spectacles to add to the haughty look.

This hands-free hanging magnifier belonged to my paternal grandparents. Van Waffle (Pappy) might have used it for looking at his stamp collection or Fern (Mimi) might have used it to read books and the newspaper. I felt closer to Pappy than my other three grandparents. He had been a self-made, successful business owner and a hard man by many accounts. I never saw that side of him. The year I was born he suffered a heart attack and retired. I guess it softened him. He had time for me. He remained active and did not have another heart attack until 20 years later when he died peacefully in his sleep, age 82. I've kept this magnifier since Mimi moved out of their house into a nursing home 30 years ago, knowing it would become useful someday. So far I have only used it two or three times to fix difficult knitting errors. Pappy would be puzzled to find me using it in fibrecraft, but he shared my enjoyment of gardening and storytelling.

We had a tour of Wellington's country house and grounds which gave lots of useful info on the great man's life and military career. It's still lived in by the current Duke of Welllington. This is the back of the house looking towards the lake.

Sticky and useful, inkcaps were used as a source of ink for important documents to guard against forgeries.
They cause serious problems when consumed with alcohol hence the common name Tipplers Bane.
I have seen mullein described as the most useful of weeds. It may be beneficial as a sedative, diuretic, expectorant, astringent, demulcent, and emollient. It may also be useful as an foreground element iin photographs. :) In case you don't know, the mullein is the stand of weeds midframe in front of the barn.

A small tapered spring that came out of the inside of a bread machine. I spotted it and thought it might work to assist the film pressure plate on a lovely old Agifold 120 roll film camera. It will be a while before I get around to doing with that, so in the meantime it made a useful prop for this. The spring is just over an inch long and there is around 2/3rds of it visible here. Lit from underneath with a green LED and a red LED from the left. Didn't want to do a focus stack with this, I decided it was quite a nice effect shooting it wide to the coils widen to the back. HMM
For 120 pictures in 2020 #113 "Useful", this is a set of 4 mini-whisks I use mainly for beating scrambled eggs (I am the only one in the house who eats them, so only two at a time). But they are also great for mixing in any small bowl or container.

An useful way of up cycling an old tyre!
Spotted in the woods on my walk last week, this home made swing was designed and made by two 11 year old girls. And no, I didn't take up their offer of trying it out!
‘Self-help’ and ‘autonomy’ are useful skills to teach children, though admittedly, I often fail at ensuring these skills are promoted in a loving and supportive way. On more occasions than I care to admit, I often find myself flippantly saying, “just do it already!” or in a state of frustration, opt to undergo tasks in my own seemingly more-efficient way. It would be easy for children to mis-infer that ‘autonomy’ is the golden rule in standards of living – when it isn’t.
It certainly runs a risk of undermining the equally-important issue of ‘inter-dependency’. We are, after all, gregarious beings, with an identity firmly fixed in the context of community…
‘Place2Be’ is launching the UK’s first Children’s Mental Health Week; a charity that provides emotional and therapeutic services to children, in schools across the country. Please make sure to visit their website and be made aware of the very prevalence of child mental health...
In one of its pages, it reads, “...one of the most important life-skills we teach our children is knowing when to ask for help.”
In reality, children, in one way or another, are always asking for help; the task for us, as carers, is to listen.
Útil versus bello. Una polémica recurrente en la arquitectura contemporánea, donde parece que estos términos han empezado a excluirse mutuamente. Sin embargo, durante siglos existieron espléndidos ejemplos de arquitectura utilitaria que no renunciaban ni a la belleza ni a la estética, especialmente en el periodo clásico. La Cisterna Basílica (Yerebatan Sarnıcı) de Estambul es un ejemplo perfecto. Concebida para almacenar agua potable —que llegaba desde el acueducto de Valente y otras fuentes—, podía albergar hasta 80.000 m³. Fue construida en el año 532 d.C., por orden del emperador Justiniano I. Desde el exterior nada anuncia su presencia, pero al descender nos envuelve una escena inesperada: un bosque de 336 columnas de mármol que sostienen una bóveda de ladrillo. El juego de luces, los reflejos en el agua, la penumbra... todo contribuye a crear una atmósfera de misterio casi sobrenatural. Parte de su encanto reside en su imperfección: muchas columnas son recicladas de templos antiguos, y sus capiteles variados aportan carácter y humanidad al espacio. En la penumbra dorada de la imagen, las columnas parecen repetirse hasta el infinito, reflejadas en el agua quieta. El visitante —pequeño, casi invisible— se pierde entre sombras y luces como si caminara por una ciudad subterránea fuera del tiempo.

Useful versus beautiful. A recurring debate in contemporary architecture, where these concepts often seem mutually exclusive. Yet for centuries, functional buildings did not shy away from beauty — especially during the classical period. Istanbul’s Basilica Cistern (Yerebatan Sarnıcı) is a perfect example. Built in 532 AD by order of Emperor Justinian I, it was designed to store drinking water brought from the Valens Aqueduct and other sources, with a capacity of up to 80,000 m³. From the outside, nothing hints at its presence. But upon descending, we are met with a surprising scene: a forest of 336 marble columns holding up a brick vault. The play of lights, the reflections in the water, the shadows... everything contributes to a magical, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Part of its beauty lies in its imperfection: many columns were repurposed from ancient temples, and their diverse capitals give the space a unique, human character. In the golden gloom of the image, the columns seem to repeat endlessly, mirrored on the still water. The visitor —small, almost invisible— wanders among shadows and light, as if walking through a timeless underground city.
Victoria and Albert Museum: Exhibitions
It is very useful being a member of the Museum. I get to see most of the exhibitions and talks free. Of course, I have to pay a membership fee but when I think of the positives, it is worthwhile. Monday 12th August I took my daughter to two exhibitions on fashion. The first being Mary Quant and the second, Christian Dior. Wasn’t quite sure if I would like them but I did and we had a great day out. They were both brilliant exhibitions. Fortunately we saw other exhibits too, all good.
At first glance maybe an unusual spider? lol! This is a "bear claw," one of two that I use to retrieve a large, stuffed turkey from the oven twice a year. Yes, Thanksgiving and Christmas. ( I think it would make a great weapon, too if I encountered a burglar in my home)! Super sharp! Happy Crazy Tuesday everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to view this photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
In the night I'm calling you - be my guide, help me through,
In the night i call your name - you're the light in times of shame.
The songs I sing, all my love - I bring for you.
I always try to make things better, everything that has gone wrong,
Mighty plans in the right direction but very little has been done.
Everyday when I try to get forward - I find myself another mile back,
Help me fighting, help me breathing - why am I falling down instead?
Every useful minute seems to be the thought of you,
Every hour seems like wasted, filled with things that I might do.
Without love in my reactions seems the saddest thing, but it's true.
In the night I'm calling you - be my guide, help me through,
In the night i call your name - you're the light in times of shame.
The songs I sing, all my love - I bring for you.
Free from ourselves and free form this world we may find,
The freedom we search, 'cause all that we need is inside.
The hours we waste - we may not get back for a while,
And when it gets dark - no chance will be there for a try.
When I wake up early in the morning I catch a book and jump inside,
I fill my head with a million wonders and try to fill the night with light.
The moment when I get things clearer - I see another mountain to climb.
And always when I think I'm nearer - I realize there is no time.
In the night I'm calling you - be my guide, help me through,
In the night i call your name - you're the light in times of shame.
Sometimes I cried after all I lied to you.
“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”

It is no coincidence that this incredibly beautiful, fragrant and useful plant is called a wild rose. A close relative of the most beautiful flower on earth, the rose hip also has thorns, but is also rich in vitamin C and other useful microelements.
The name “rose hips” is used for wild or unmodified rose species. In Russia today there are up to 100 species of rose hips, and not all of them are equally useful, so some of them are used for decorative purposes. Under natural conditions, wild roses grow on mountain slopes, in river valleys, and in fields there are several dozen varieties of the plant. Unpretentious and cold-resistant ornamental rose hips can often be seen as hedges in country houses. Certain types of wild rose are used to make jam, jam and candied fruits.
The healing properties of rose hips have been known since ancient times. Almost all parts of rose hips are used for medicinal and preventive purposes, but the fruits are considered the most useful. This is explained by the high content of vitamin C in them; its concentration here is higher than in black currants and lemon. Wild rose fruits also boast a variety of biologically active substances.
The most popular among medicinal types of rose hips is traditionally considered to be May rose hips. The fruits of needle, Dahur, Kokand, small-flowered rose hips and some other plant species are also used for medicinal purposes.
