Health benefits
Pears are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, E1, copper and potassium. Pears are the least allergenic of all fruits. Because of this, it is sometimes used as the first juice introduced to infants. Along with lamb and soya formula, pears form part of the strictest exclusion diet for allergy sufferers.
Pears can be useful in treating inflammation of mucous membranes, colitis, chronic gallbladder disorders, arthritis, and gout.
Pears can also be beneficial in lowering high blood pressure, controlling blood cholesterol levels, and increasing urine acidity.
They are good for the lungs and the stomach.
Most of the fiber is insoluble, making pears a good laxative. The gritty fiber content may cut down on the number of cancerous colon polyps.
Most of the vitamin C, as well as the dietary fiber, are contained within the skin of the fruit.
A group of bushy, late flowering, herbaceous perennials with narrow green leaves covered by clouds of daisy-like flowers; either singly or in sprays. The name of this useful late flowering plant is taken is from the Latin word meaning star - indicating the shape of its showy flower heads, borne in profusion from late summer onwards.
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.

It had rained the whole day like from tubs. Actually, I planned, the Neist Point, the small peninsula
to take photos on the Scottish island Skye in the southwest in the sundown. But the weather meant it differently.
When I wanted to make a few test shots Late afternoon, it heard to rain for one moment on and the sky opened
for a short time before the coast. From approx. 100 admissions, were at the end only useful.....
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
The Long-eared Owl is associated with coniferous woodland and tall scrubby habitats during the breeding season, favouring sites where dense nesting cover is located close to open areas that are used for hunting. Although widely distributed across Britain and Ireland, the Long-eared Owl remains a scarce breeding species and one that is easy to overlook. The species appears to be more abundant in Ireland than it is within Britain, perhaps because of reduced competition Tawny Owl, which is absent from Ireland.
This is a medium-sized owl, slightly smaller and slimmer in appearance than a Tawny Owl. The main confusion species is Short-eared Owl and BTO has produced a useful video on how to identify the two species – this is available here.
When perched, or when the Long-eared Owl’s ear tufts are visible, the species can be readily separated from Short-eared Owl. At other times, eye colour is useful: those of Long-eared Owl are yellow-orange, while in Short-eared Owl they are yellow. The general appearance of the upperside of the wing in Short-eared Owl is of sharp contrast between the dark wing tip and the extensive pale panel that sits between this and the darker ‘carpel’ patch. In Long-eared this panel is more richly-coloured and less obvious.
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍
Although today it rained wonderfully in Córdoba, I have chosen an archive photo. This way I don't get wet and I see that it is useful to save . I think it's a nice photo of The Shining City, the authentic title of these ruins so well reconstructed and valued and protected by UNESCO.
Aunque hoy ha llovido estupendamente sobre Córdoba, he elegido una foto de archivo. Así no me mojo y veo que es útil guardar . Creo que es una bonita foto de La Ciudad Brillante, titulo autentico de estas ruinas tan bien reconstruidas y puestas en valor y protegidas por LA UNESCO.
Lluvia de tiernos azahares
que el viento en el patio arrastra
como sollozos de guzla
sobre el suelo desgranados
por sed que manan las fuentes 5
tras las blancas celosías
de amores ya desvaídos
que de oro viste el ocaso.
El susurro de las flores
sobre canciones silentes 10
evoca pálidas notas
cristal de muertos laúdes
son suspiros de Azahara
que van cayendo en el patio
con sus pétalos de nieve 15
fundidos en tierra y agua.
** *** *** *** **
Rain of tender orange blossoms
that the wind in the patio drags
like guzla sobs
on the ground shelled
for thirst that springs flow 5
behind the white lattices
of faded loves
that gold dresses the sunset.
The whisper of the flowers
about silent songs 10
evokes pale notes
crystal of dead lutes
they are sighs of Azahara
that are falling in the patio
with its snow petals 15
fused on land and water.

Thank you so much buddy, it's always a pleasure to take photos with you! Watch out for Edu's amazing version!
"A person who thinks all the time
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So, he loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions
By thoughts, I mean specifically, chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
Of reckoning and calculating
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everything else, It's useful in moderation
A good servant, but a bad master
And all so-called civilized peoples
Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive
Because, through excessive thinking
They have lost touch with reality
That's to say
We confuse signs
With the real world
This is the beginning of meditation
Most of us would have
Rather money than tangible wealth
And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed
And to read about it the next day in the newspaper
Is oddly more fun for us than the original event
This is a disaster
For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
We are destroying nature
We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up
What is reality?
Obviously no one can say
Because it isn't words
It isn't material, that's just an idea
Reality is
The point cannot be explained in words
I'm not trying to put you down
It's an expression of you as you are
One must live
We need to survive, to go on
We must go on!"
We returned to one of our favorite borrowing owl spots. We never fail to spot burrowing Owls in Davis near a sign that says, “Burrowing Owls, drive carefully.” This little guy let us get up close and personal to capture his beautiful portrait. Burrowing Owls are very well camouflaged and amazingly small compared to the wide-open areas where they live, so a spotting scope will be useful for viewing them. You’ll need to patiently scan a likely habitat—pay special attention to dirt mounds around burrow entrances, where owls often stand when they’re not hunting, sometimes with just their head and eyes showing.

Always knew my collection of wine corks would come in useful.
Shot using Zuiko 50mm lens with Makinkon x 2 converter.
15-february-2022: I can't get never enough of the SNOW, and even after a day entirely dedicated to photographing the phenomenon in progress, I still have the energy to take some shots on the tripod at nightfall near a tourist area where there are always artificial lights.
I don't like to take the lights directly intended as spotlights beams/light sources, as I avoid inserting the sun into a daytime or sunset shot, I prefer the play of lights in the atmosphere and in the glare of the snow on the ground, on the trees and on the reliefs in the vicinity.
After the precipitating core (in the afternoon, previous shots) I spent a good half hour photographing with the tripod under a constant wet sleet, annoying, but useful for creating a certain atmosphere.
Merci à tous pour vos gentils commentaires et favoris.
On peut observer les adultes sur les fleurs des plantes le jour, où ils capturent de petits insectes mous comme les pucerons, des chenilles et autres dont ils s'alimentent, ainsi que de pollen. Les larves restent au sol où elles mangent de petites limaces, des escargots, et autres larves d'insectes nuisibles des plantes. C'est donc un insecte utile pour le contrôle des parasites.
The adults can be observed on the flowers of plants during the day, where they capture small soft insects such as aphids, caterpillars and the like on which they feed, as well as pollen. The larvae stay on the ground where they eat small slugs, snails, and other plant pest larvae. It is therefore a useful insect for pest control.
New 100-400 lens proving very useful.

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.

Looking close... on Friday! ~ Bubbles (2022/01/21)
first night photography with my Nikon d500. The tamron lens is a bit weak but useful tilI step up in Nikon glass. tis was the entrance to our spa in Henlow this evening
Taken at the Great Central Railway in Loughborough, found this old, though still useful shed - I liked the way the light fell on the doors.
Goldfinches.... having a munch...nothing quite like a seed head or two....
How it was done...
Single RAW image...Crucially...Centre weighted average metering... In a poor light situation, where the only good light was on the two Goldfinches.... taking a light reading FROM the Goldfinches themselves makes then stand out just nicely... :)
It's always useful to have two or three different metering set up's in Custom settings on the camera ...changing metering modes quickly is vital.... they were only static for twelve frames then gone...!

Fleur du jardin
Le géranium Herbe à Robert a la propriété d’être vulnéraire, c’est-à-dire qu’il soigne les petites plaies. Toujours utile lorsqu’on se blesse légèrement dans son jardin.
Ses feuilles riches en tanin sont aussi astringentes, elles calment le feu temporairement des aphtes dans la bouche.
Ses feuilles froissées éloignent les moustiques.

Garden flower
Robert's Herb geranium has the ability to heal small wounds. It's always useful when you have a minor injury in the garden.
Its tannin-rich leaves are also astringent, temporarily soothing mouth ulcers.
Crumpled leaves keep mosquitoes away.
"Did I Know any useful spells? Why no, I sure didn't. But go on, ask me the Latin name of, like, foxglove. Digitalis purpurea. You're welcome."
-Cate Tiernan
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.
Famous, enchanting and highly toxic, Fly agaric is the home of fairies and magical creatures and a lover of birch woodland, where it helps trees by transferring nutrients into their roots, but if eaten can cause hallucinations and psychotic reactions.
Native to the UK, it grows in woodland and heathland on light soils among birch, pine or spruce.
Fly agaric is poisonous and infamous for its psychoactive and hallucinogenic properties, but reports of human deaths are extremely rare. It was traditionally used as an insecticide. The cap was broken up and sprinkled into saucers of milk. It's known to contain ibotenic acid, which both attracts and kills flies – which gave it its name.
Scientific name: Amanita muscaria.
So pleased to find this on one of Marnie and my walks. I didn't have my 'proper' camera with me so used my mobile phone.
~ Edited in Topaz Studio - no actual 'texture' and actually, the original is alright but can't resist trying for better ! I'm sure you know the feeling ! ~
Thanks so much, as always, for your comments and just for looking - autumn is REALLY here now in our northern climes.
Another angle on the famous artificial mound. I thought the tree would make for a useful foreground and act as a balance. I am afraid my titles are not getting any better but at least they are self explanatory! We are hoping to walk part of the Ridgeway trail over the Bank Holiday weekend so fingers crossed for some good weather!

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!
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.
We have a pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks visiting this season. The female shown here is always a sweetheart at the feeder, politely standing by awaiting her turn.
(Nikon 300/2.8 + TC 2.0, 1/320 sec @ f/8, ISO 400)
Black-headed Grosbeaks' massive bills make them well equipped for cracking seeds, but those beaks are just as useful for snatching and crushing hard-bodied insects or snails. Insects (especially beetles), spiders, and other animals make up about 60% of their breeding-season food. Fruits and seeds make up most of the rest. Berries are a favored food during migration. Among wild fruit, juneberries, poison oak, and elderberries make common meals. Other regular foods include grains like oats and wheat, and weed seeds such as dock, pigweed, chickweed, and bur clover. They also feed on cultivated orchard fruit like figs, mulberries, cherries, apricots, plums, blackberries, and crabapples. In spring and summer, they feed at sunflower seed feeders and at nectar feeders set out for orioles. Where their range overlaps with wintering monarch butterflies, grosbeaks eat large numbers of these insects. Black-headed Grosbeaks don’t seem to suffer from the toxins concentrated in the monarchs’ bodies, which render them inedible to most birds.
Tulameen is a small community in southwestern British Columbia on Otter Lake. The small town is the second place after the steep grades of the Coquihalla Canyon and Pass. A coal mine in the area was useful to rail company operations and the town was a regular stopping place for taking on coal and water during the steam era. The abandoned rail bed on the right side of the lake is a hiking, biking, and horse-riding trail known as the Trans Canada Trail or TCT.

A useful tip for boiling Shrimp, put your frozen Shrimp in a pot cover with cold water and when the water starts to boil pull them off the fire,
“Silence stands outside the world of profit and utility; it cannot be exploited for profit; you cannot get anything out of it. It is ‘unproductive’ Therefore it is regarded as valueless. Yet there is more help and healing in silence than in all the 'useful things.’ Purposeless, unexplainable silence suddenly appears at the side of the all-too-purposeful, and frightens us by its very purposelessness. It interferes with the regular flow of the purposeful. It strengthens the untouchable, it lessens the damage inflicted by exploitation. It makes things whole again, by taking them back from the world of dissipation into the world of wholeness. It gives something its own holy uselessness, for that is what silence itself is: holy uselessness.” (Max Picard)
