2 November : In remembrance of all my beloved ones.
*******************************************
Many people like to believe in the idea of a soul, and we often look to the empirical world to bolster our religious or spiritual beliefs, searching for corroborating physical evidence. Just such scientific proof seemed to come in 1907,when a Massachusetts doctor named Duncan MacDougall devised experiments that he expected would actually measure the soul. Using six terminally ill patients on a specially-constructed scale bed, he measured their weight before, during, and after death. His results were mixed, but he concluded that there was indeed a very slight loss of weight, 21 grams on average.
Half the weight of a house mouse (5g) he could navigate these grasses admirably.

This lizard was basking in the sunshine, Arne RSPB reserve Dorset. It's a male in its breeding colours.
According to Wildlife Trust website:
The sand lizard is extremely rare due to the loss of its sandy heath and dune habitats. Reintroduction programmes have helped establish new populations.
Restricted to a few isolated areas in Dorset (my home county), Hampshire, Surrey and Merseyside. Reintroduced into other areas in the South East, South West and Wales.

Giant hummingbird (Patagona gigas) of western South America, is only about 20 cm (8 inches) long, with a body weight of about 20 g (0.7 ounce), less than that of most sparrows.
From about 7am there were about 30 Jackdaws making such a noise flying over & around my house. According to my neighbour he could see them trying to chase off a Sparrowhawk that had taken one of the "family". The noise eventually stopped & nearly 2 hours later my husband noticed the Sparrowhawk in our garden devouring the bird.
We could only take photos through the window as we did not wish to scare it away & as we clicked it kept turning its head towards the house looking for the source of the noise. It stayed about 30 mins & then flew off with the remains of breakfast in its claws.

Sorry for all of you who may have already viewed several photos taken by Richard, he's just faster at editing or could it be more spare time.😉

The common name of this species is well-deserved: The Great Thrush is the largest member of this cosmopolitan genus, with some subspecies reaching 175 g, twice the weight of the average species of Turdus thrush. The Great Thrush is often the most common species in humid Andean habitats, above 2000 m from Venezuela south to western Bolivia.

The bottom skip was mine, taking away the rubbish. I'm having my garden renovated to make it easier to maintain. :-))
The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is a South American bird in the New World vulture family Cathartidae and is the only member of the genus Vultur. Found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America, the Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world by combined measurement of weight and wingspan. It has a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in)
It's another changeable day today, we're hoping to do some butterfly transects this afternoon but we need a bit of sun . We'll see. I had a lovely meal last night with June, and had some orchids potted by her, so my collection is growing. Weights and measures is by Dry The River.
The Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) is a dolphin found in warm temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Older members of the species have a very distinctive spotted coloration all over their bodies.
The coloring of the Atlantic spotted dolphin varies enormously as it grows, and is usually classified into age-dependent phases known as two-tone, speckled, mottled, and fused. Calves are a fairly uniform gray-white, with one or no spots.
When they are weaned, speckling occurs, typically between 3 and 4 years and lasting for an average of 5 years. A juvenile is considered mottled when it develops merging gray and white spots on the dorsal surface and black spots on the ventral surface. This usually happens between age 8 or 9.
A fused pattern is reached when dark and white spots are on both the ventral and dorsal sides. As the animal matures, the spots become denser and spread until the body appears black with white spots at full maturation.
In comparison to other dolphin species, the Atlantic spotted dolphin is medium-sized. Newborn calves are about 35–43 in (89–109 cm) long, while adults can reach a length of 2.26 m (7 ft 5 in) and a weight of 140 kg (310 lb) in males, and 2.29 m (7 ft 6 in) and 130 kg (290 lb) in females.
Compared to the much smaller pantropical spotted dolphin, the Atlantic spotted dolphin is more robust. It shares its habitat with the pantropical spotted dolphin and the bottlenose dolphin.
The species exhibits a range of about ten different vocalizations, including whistles, buzzes, squawks and barks, each corresponding with different behaviors.

The Nikon D850 weighs 915g (2.017 lb) for the body only, and 1005g (2.22 lb) with the battery and a memory card.
By Comparison my gear:
The Olympus E-M1 Mark II weighs
574 g (1.27 lb / 20.25 oz) with the battery and memory card included.
It doesn't sound like much of a difference - but when you have been holding it for several hours you can tell. Its one of the main reasons my Nikon gear is generally gathering dust.
In the street I wasn't sure why he seemed to be "lighting up the sky" with his flash.

There are multiple definitions for when a boat becomes a ship, including size, purpose, and other characteristics:
Size: Some say a ship is a vessel that's at least 197 feet (60 meters) long. Others say a ship is a large, ocean-faring vessel.
Purpose: A ship is a versatile vessel that can be used for commercial, military, or scientific purposes. A boat is often used for leisure activities.
Masts: A sailing ship may be defined as having at least three masts.
Deck: A ship may have a through-fitted deck, while a boat may have an open cockpit.
Weight: A ship may weigh at least 500 tonnes.
Crew: A ship may have a commander and a crew, while a boat may just have whomever is on it at the time.
Personal use: A vessel may be considered a yacht if it was constructed solely for personal use and has a combined occupancy of less than 100, including crew.
Submarines are technically ships, but they are traditionally referred to as boats. The original submarines were small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate.
Swallow-tailed Kite ~ (Elanoides forficatus)
I love the topside view of the Swallow-tailed Kite. The iconic fork-tail makes this bird one of my absolute favorite silhouettes. Their wing to body ratio, light weight and tail makes them remarkably agile in flight.
Thanks for visiting!

2020 was a tough year, I had lost several family and friends that year. This is a result reflecting that loss.
The pandemic introduced a specific kind of silence; a sudden absence of the voices and presence of those closest to us. This piece explores the weight of that silence. I used mixed media to represent the fragmented nature of grief and the lingering spirits of friends and family lost during those years.
A visual intersection of my private sorrow and the growing public discord. This piece examines the 'weight' of those we have lost against the backdrop of a world growing increasingly unhinged.

I took this while taking photos for the Meijer State Games of Michigan, January 2015. I was covering the weight lifting competition and forgot how I was able to shoot some great expressions.
It's been 63 days since I started the Insanity workout program by Beach Body. It's been one helluva ride!
Normally I wouldn't post pictures of me without a shirt, but this is anything but normal for me. It took a lot for me to share these with you. I'm very self conscience and have always been embarassed by my body. But no mas! ;o)
I busted my ass for the past two months. Worked out every morning at 5am. Watched my daily caloric intake like my life depended on it. Quit drinking alcohol. Cut out all sorts of sweets. In the end, the results were stellar.
I lost a total of 16 lbs. I started at 181.2 and weighed in at 165.2. I've increased my cardiovascular condition to the point where I can actually participate in a 5k run. I've toned up and look better than I have in several years. Overall, I'm just a whole lot healthier.
I'm very proud of how far I've come in a relatively short period of time. It takes patience, persistence, and a true desire to commit to a lifestyle change. But it is worth all of the effort put forth.
So here I am, before my transformation and after training my mind and body to accept the challenges necessary to achieve my personal goals.
Want to know what the secret is?
There isn't any.
Maintain a healthy diet; exercise at a moderate pace to increase your heart rate, 3-4 times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes; be sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day; and be sure to get your full night's rest.
Most importantly, you will lose weight if you burn more calories than you take in. This is probably the closest thing to what the "secret" to losing weight is.
It doesn't take a gym membership or fancy workout equipment or expensive DVDs. You just have to want it bad enough.
