Last month I tagged along on a hunt to identify vernal pools. Vernal pools are seasonal wetlands covered by shallow water for variable periods from winter to spring. They may be completely dry during the summer and fall.

These photos were shot with my old Pentax Super-Takumar 300mm F4 lens manufactured between 1965 and 71. It's a beast, but I occasionally manage to get some good shots with it.

Ileż to już razy od czasu, gdy zaczęłam "dziennikarzyć", słyszałam górnolotne zapowiedzi obdarowania uczniów darmowymi komputerami/laptopami/tabletami
Podobne pomysły rodzą się w umysłach polityków zwykle przed wyborami, ot, tak jak teraz:

Periodically I fantasise about changing career and spend a while browsing charity sector/NGO jobs. All those other lives I could lead! Do you ever find the myriad paths you could take overwhelming to choose between?

Mniej wódki, mniej piwa - spada produkcja i konsumpcja. To kłopot dla rządu

I keep thinking back to this Microlino at Fully Charged Live. Reusable water bottles became acceptable, being vegan is now cool, and so is wearing vintage clothes. So who is going to step up to the critical task of making small cars fashionable? The trend towards giant SUVs is ludicrous, incredibly wasteful and dangerous, and bad for our cities. If you must use a car, it should be as small as possible. Where are the micro-car visionaries/influencers? WE NEED YOU. #cars #SUV #climate

Microsoft, one of the world’s most profitable companies - a story in two parts.

Good lord but I forget the power of social signaling sometimes.

At the clinic for a clogged ear. No big deal. Forgot my mask. No posted rules or anything — half the waiting room is unmasked — but there are masks by the door. Grab one and sit down to wait.

Gradually everyone goes to pick up a mask from the door. Now new folks coming in, scanning the room, then grabbing masks.

I guess if beardy white old dude is cool with it they are too?

Beginning on 10th May 1933, Nazi-dominated student groups carried out public burnings of books they claimed were “un-German.” The book burnings took place in 34 university towns and cities. Works of prominent Jewish, liberal, and leftist writers ended up in the bonfires.

Poland's government will investigate over 1,000 academics who signed a letter defending a Holocaust scholar who said Poles did little to help Jews in WWII.

"We will analyse which universities [they are from] and we will react," says the education minister.

Dobry wieczór, mam na imię Ania, mam 37 lat, i potrzebowałam 3 lat i 2 miesięcy, żeby się przyznać własnej terapeutce, że mam bardzo niezdrową relację z jedzeniem. Pozdrawiam cieplutko!
