the nice thing about nature is, it grows again :)

here is my solution! Eight ones in yellow. a *possible* ninth may lurk behind one, as indicated by arrow. Everyone else, i hide it as "graphic" so you can choose not to see it, for your own guess! (Assuming u have a filter on.)

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

yes. i was searching thee news and indeed i confused it However should it then not now be auto-suspended?

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Hallo Karl M It's beginning Commentary today in the CDU house post, FAZ - "Germany can't stay aside if navies go to secure the Strait of Hormuz"

This is seriously being misreported on bluesky. Rutte developed the idea with the Danish and the Greeenlandish ministers on Monday. Rutte is a slick and untrustworthy operator but not that kind of fool.

How this deal might look like, that was discussed between danish defense minister Poulsen and greenlandish foreign minister Motzfeld and Rutte on Monday. "We are in a very difficult time", Poulsen afterwards wrote on X.

of the few things my country does well is it has made its military hospital available for UA soldiers, there is a constant station there for reconvalescents. Zelensky even visited them not so long ago. We wish you and your friend all the best! two weeks ago only www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieu...

Hallo Margo. Unfortunately no drones have been 'shot down' there. They used a jammer but captured no drone and identified no originator :(

And here is the direct challenge to the US from the German chancellor Merz, published today

We as Europeans have collectively decided that the assets of the russian central bank will remain frozen until Russia pays reparations to Ukraine. This is what we will do

"If we mean [european sovereignty] serious, then we can not allow other, non-european countries to decide what happens to financial assets of an aggressor which are legally frozen in the European legal sphere and in our legal currency."

This is a desaster for Europe's foreign policy. Do we even have one? So, Russia only needs to dictate its demands to a US Trumpian stenografer, and hey-presto, we find this a "discutable proposal"? This is not just UA's surrender but also our own, European abdication of self-interest.

Translated from Dutch: "This [US-RU peace framework] is not a definitive plan but a proposal about which there now have to be discussions", says German Foreign Minister Wadephul." Source, nu.nl

Here's something from my own world. A little SEM image, as one can see, in BSE mode. It shows magnesiowuestite crystals - the round shapes - which experienced wild swings in T & oxygen potential. So they multiply exsolved, and iron is reduced (the white patches). We use this as natural sensors.

Multiply exsolved magnesiowuestite, where iron was reduced out metallic (white). SEM BSE image on a polished mount. Its useful bc it records conditions, but it is also charming.

? they are in the cited post? maybe it is just a newfangled name for somethin well known as accessory From Yang et al 2023:

The image is from Yang et al 2023. American Mineralogist. It is a scheme how organic matter decay in the ocean leads to Ba, Ti, V enrichment in the black shales at the sea bottom. Those could be SiO2 rich if it were cherts but shales are not normally cherts? I dont know.

it seems you have chosen the start point of the Kinzhal in Latvia, or on a russian sub in the bay of Riga? :) Good morning! wish u a nice sunday. We know this problem, the traditional answer is deterrence by counterstrike capability, this does not help you though.

And here is a little flower stem of another of the high summer forest shadow flowers, this is Heksenkruid (Dutch) - circaea lutetiana. English call it apparently enchanter's nightshade. I have no idea how it gets to be by name linked with witchcraft. It just grows and enjoys life.

circaea lutetiana - Hexenkraut. Its flowers are tiny but shiny white, especially in the sun. when done, the growing fruit hangs oblique as if it were arms. The stem is round and hairy. Too many little insects want to get at the sap :)

I was in the forest on sunday, the forest is on the inner rim of the dunes, where the sand filtered water wells up and runs into the polders. It is a line rich with beautiful summer flowers. Unfortunately im not so good with telephone fotoing. This is stachys sylvatica - Bosandoorn

An image of Bosandoorn growing in a humid well water forest on sand dunes. I was too early, its gonna flower only in this week when i have to work!

This here is a stylized pluim (plume) from ECMWF/KNMI for De Bilt, NL (its just off the corner of your map which still has 40 C in Bruges). Even the 90th percentile of runs doesnt go over 32 C. This cannot be real (what you show)

Here is where the christian church tried to make Europe into a theocracy, and failed :)

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

oh damn. It is as always! If an idea finally crosses my mind that means a ton of people are already working on it :)

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

that is also not fully true! nature has everything, even smooth and straight lines. See this image which i made myself. its just a random one. In the world of crystals you have lots of straight lines! It's a wonderful field to study.

And they are already visible on Google Maps :)

i dont get out often anymore but today i went to the place, a short distance away from my house where there are orchids growing. It is a valley in a coastal dune belt. Clay accumulates in such valleys and the rainwater cant drain, that creates mini swamps in which these thrive. Now is their season.

Its an orchid, i think an dactylorhiza sp one. Its a wet grass floor, note the equisetum intermixed.

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

because its time of the year, and i happened to be out there here is a photo for you! its an orchid, of course they had to build a road through the valley it grows in but it is undeterred. Just came up. sorry for bad telephone photo

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Ha thanks for naming the main plant :) Which i didnt know at all. i just thought i did know what was growing behind it, in the background, the white-4-petaled mini flowers. like here this part of Lin's photo

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

hah those i know ! except we dont call them star of betlehem but rather bird's milk. Like in ornithogalum. And we have a different variety, o. nutans, with flowers hanging to the sides.

I saw a moth today. That is a nice thing, although many ppl dont like moths. They are mistaken though, Moths are unmissable. This one is sometimes a little pest though, it eats brassica's. plutella xylostella
