Comments (17)Lgmd, you will be happy to know those plants thrive on a bit of neglect and actually grow fairly slowly. So it’s the perfect house plant for people like us who don’t want to fuss with a lot of care. I can and so grow a lot of things outside, but these are my favorite indoor plant and all I have with the exception of one small jade plant. Its bright pink but all I have access to on my phone at the moment....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - T 8/8/23
Comments (22)Highlands of Scotland. I've always wanted to go but didn't have plans to on our trip last year. However, the train workers were striking so we had to take my son's car to Ireland or fly. We chose to drive. Turned out to be the best part of the trip....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - Fr 9/1/23

Comments (20)Cindy, from the internet: The main symbol of Opatija is the"Girl with a Seagull" statue. The statue was erected in 1956 by the sculptor Zvonko Tsara and is an example of modern culture. It is located on the seashore. There is a legend that seagulls are the souls of sailors who did not return from the sea. And in the city of Opatija there is a seagull who is"in love" with the sculpture. They say that a couple in love lived on the coast for a long time. The young sailor went to sea and never returned. Beloved throughout her life was waiting for him, and every day she went to the seashore. Seeing such love, it was decided to erect a monument - a sculpture of a young woman with a seagull in her hands. After some time, a seagull began to circle over the monument. She sat on the sculpture for a long time, not allowing other birds to approach her. Locals believe that this soul of a young sailor has returned....See More

Cranes, when migrating, ride the wind in a novel way. They fly and glide loosing altitude until they find a thermal, and then they do a tight circle trying to stay in the thermal. If the thermal is small in diameter, they will circle and make multiple passes through the thermal. In this way, cranes use a thermal as an elevator to gain altitude. After gaining altitude, the flock will continue on their migration path until encountering another thermal to begin the process again.
If you should be privileged to observe this behavior on a sunny fall day, it will appear that the cranes are playing or performing a mating ritual, but this is not the case. They are riding nature's elevator. Its a sight to see the entire flock all trying to ride the elevator at once. It appears chaotic with 10 or more birds wheeling in the air while dodging each other.

We tripped on these surfers, killing time before having to head to the airport. They were fascinating.
