These flowers become more interesting every time,
and they are very large.
...................................................................................
I'm interested in what people see in my pictures.
That's why I also describe my pictures a little, it help me understand what others think and see.
I take pictures of everything, because everything has something that is memorable.
Soon I'll post a new photos. I use here my Sony NEX-5T and Sony lens 55-210 mm .

Minnesota is Overrated Once Again
Minnesota Timberwolves Preview
Projected Record: 43-39
Projected Playoff Seed: 7th
The Timberwolves added Jimmy Butler this past offseason, and are expected by many to finally make a leap in to top playoff seed contention. However similar to the high expectations of last off season, these will not be matched. On paper, Andrew Wiggins, Jimmy Butler, and Karl Anthony-Towns seems like a contender, until one looks deeper. The roster is very shallow, with only about 6 real contributors on the roster. Outside of the starters and Gorgui Dieng, the Wolves still do not have a good or even decent second unit. Tyus Jones has not shown any real ability to play serious minutes, Jamal Crawford is a very inefficient bench scorer who will be 38 this coming season, and Nemanja Bjelica has not shown the ability to play big NBA minutes and be a net positive on the court. This is a team with a talented starting lineup, but horrible depth.
Also, there are fit issues within the actual starting lineup. Andrew Wiggins and Jimmy Butler are very similar being that they are both high usage mid range scorers who need the ball to be effective. One would wonder how they would coexist, needing the ball in many of the same spots. One of the two or even both may suffer statistically, and the team will not be able to maximize their impact. As a team, the defense is suspect as it is anchored by Towns and Wiggins, even though Butler and Teague will soften some of the blow from opposing offenses. There also are zero three point shooting threats on the entire roster in an era where the three point shot has never been more important. All things considered, the Timberwolves may struggle to finish with a record over .500, and the hype surrounding them will fail to be reached once again.

Gulf Fritillary Butterfly~Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA
Nikon D-7200~ISO 800, Focal Length 195mm @ F14 #Macro
I have seen several species of butterflies this year, but I have really only had luck with the Gulf Fritillaries landing for a few photos. They are still fun to shoot and do make for some nice photos. This was shot from our driveway during an afternoon (like most this year) where it was too hot to venture far. Happy Saturday :-)

Northern Summer on Titan.
Image Credit: Cassini Imaging Team, SSI, JPL, ESA, NASA
Explanation: While yesterday's solstice brought summer to planet Earth's northern hemisphere, a northern summer solstice arrived for ringed planet Saturn nearly a month ago on May 24. Following the Saturnian seasons, its large moon Titan was captured in this Cassini spacecraft image from June 9. The near-infrared view finds bright methane clouds drifting through Titan's northern summer skies as seen from a distance of about 507,000 kilometers. Below Titan's clouds, dark hydrocarbon lakes sprawl near the large moon's now illuminated north pole.

So do you talk to your phone?
And we don't mean for phone calls (wait...there's a phone in this thing?!?). See what we found out about the voice command habits of over 900 smartphone users. Will they ask their phone a question in the restroom? Are men more comfortable than women about talking to their phones in public?
Find out those and more at >>

“There’s this sense out there in the media that Washington is consumed by drama and nothing is getting done,” Ryan told reporters. “I think it’s important for people to know that important things are, in fact, getting done, and setting this Google News alert is one of those things.”
Ryan ended his press conference by reassuring the American people that he is hard at work for them. “I am checking my phone every ten—and sometimes every five—minutes,” he said.

"There will be no football in the state of Georgia if Colin Kaepernick is not on a training camp roster and given an opportunity to pursue his career. This is not a simple request. This is a statement. This is a demand and if Mr. Kaepernick is not allowed to pursue his career, then on September the 17th, at 5:00, we are going to have the world's largest tailgate, and that tailgate will not go into Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We will take a knee, and we will continue to take a knee on the NFL until they act with one voice."

The #NHS saved me. As a scientist, I must help to save it

The crisis in the health service has been created by politicians who want to privatise it – when public opinion, and the evidence, point in the opposite direction
