        Sunflowers

        A low-angle shot captures several bright yellow sunflowers against a vivid blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds.

Tall, light green stems with large, textured green leaves extend upward through the frame.

Near the top left, a fully open, large sunflower with vibrant yellow petals and a dark brown center faces forward. To the right, another large sunflower is angled side-on, with a bee visible near its dark center. Several other sunflowers are scattered below, mostly showing the leafy green backs of their flower heads as they face away.

          Having just finished Helgoland by Carlo Rovelli (and having engaged with more of his material elsewhere), I asked Claude to compare his positions with mine – acknowledging the intellectual debt I owe him for the ideas I've borrowed from him.

Der Hirsch und die grünen Gräser im Vordergrund sind von der Sonne angestrahlt und heben sich leuchtend gegen den dunklen Hintergrund ab. Der Hirsch hat seinen Kopf, der von einem stattlichen Geweih gekrönt ist, in Richtung des Betrachters gedreht und schaut aufmerksam über die Wiese.

                                        Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

                                        "A ruby‑throated hummingbird hangs in mid‑air, suspended on nothing but the blur of its own wings. Its tiny body is angled slightly forward, as if leaning into the air itself. The feathers on its back and head shimmer with iridescent greens — a metallic glow that shifts with the light, like polished emerald. Beneath that brilliance, its underside is soft and pale, a clean white that makes the colors above it seem even more intense.

At the center of the bird’s throat burns a vivid patch of red — the signature ruby that catches the eye immediately. It looks almost like a tiny flame, glowing against the white chest and green crown. The wings are a haze of motion, blurred into soft gray arcs that frame the bird without ever resolving into solid shapes. You can almost hear the faint, rapid hum of their beating.

The background is a wash of muted greens and browns, blurred enough that the hummingbird stands out sharply, as if lit from within. The whole scene feels like a moment caught between heartbeats — a creature so small and fast that seeing it clearly feels like a gift." - Microsoft Copilot

                                            Is there any research on the difference in properties between the uneaten and the 'holey' leaves?

                                                    @argv_minus_one WTF ? Surely a blip in your thinking:

                                                    1/ You can't prove want's to "kill us" unless you can communicate directly or it says it out loud.

                                                    Maybe you mean "harsh conditions" or "not pampering us with luxury or always feeding us on a platter".

                                                    There are places where it's raining & we can eat from the floor! And live there (I've experienced this and the forest which actually isn't that bad).

                                                    We are quite acclimatized / have used nature, and you say kill? !

                                                        We went for a walk and got caught in a pop up lightning show!

                                                        Amazing raw power of nature and a little scary.

                                                        “Lightning Storm” in Hebrew is:
