Begonia fulgurata, a new species discovered in northern Thailand. Begonia fulgurata resembles B. integrifolia, a widespread species in Southeast Asia, in having tubers, erect stem with hairy leaves, and a periodically dormant habit.
However, the new species is sharply distinct in its lamina densely hirsute (vs sparsely puberulous) and with maroon patches and silvery-white veins
«Nature never stops growing, producing, renovating. Nature always wins!» -DRAMACN (Dra. Martha A Castro Noriega)
New Zealand is a small country, similar in size to Great Britain or Japan. With a population of only four million people, it’s also gloriously uncrowded.
It is made up of two main islands and numerous smaller ones. Around three-quarters of the population lives on the North Island, which is also home to the capital, Wellington.

Agriculture is the economic mainstay, but manufacturing and tourism are important. Visitors are drawn to the glacier-carved mountains, lakes, beaches, and thermal springs. Because of the islands’ geographical isolation, much of the flora and fauna are unique to the country.

UPDATE: JACKIE covered in snow! Click on the LIVE CAM below.
She will be ok though. The moderators say that bald eagles are built to stand this kind of climate and still keep the eggs pretty warm and with no hatching complications. Stay tuned! HATCHING is expected next March 15th, next Monday!
Everything goes on Sunday presents you these two wonderful endangered bird species that have been nesting 2 eggs for the last 30 days, and they are only 8 days from hatching.
This is a LIVE CAM that focusses on the Bald Eagle couple and their nest with eggs. Day and night, Jackie and Shadow, female and male eagles respectively, sit on the eggs in the nest that they built on a branch of a pine tree , 144 feet high!
When I look at the nest I ask myself: how did they do it? Such a resistant nest resting on branches of a tree, and so high? It is a work of art, wisdom and bravery. I am sure you can add more in the comment section.
They are so loving to each other, to their habitat, to their soon to hatch eggs…it is wonderful to watch them live!
Shadow delivers a delicious fish to Jackie everyday… Yummy!
Climate change is undeniable. There are natural cycles of the Earth’s climate that can be affected by natural factors that are external to the climate system, such as changes in volcanic activity, solar output, and the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
However, we humans, also are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth’s temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down rainforests. Big companies like China Coal, Rio Tinto, ExxonMobil, Shell, British Petroleum, Chevron, Saudi Arabian Oil, Russia Coal, Coal India, are identified as among the highest offenders since 1988.
Nature is the highest law in every country. You will never be able to live above the laws of nature. That means we should learn those laws and abide by them. Many of these laws involve general respect for the living things around us, including animals, insects, plants, ourselves humans, water, air,
Looking at beautiful pictures is an incentive to our brain neurons to produce dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins to makes us feel good, better, happy, up-beat. Also reading few encouraging lines, and peaceful notes of love, is good enough to activate these hormones and neurotransmitters to make us go stronger and more hopeful through out our day. So here are some for today!
When you love, you don’t abandon …ever!

<br>Wer ist der wahre eigentümer/schöpfer des herzens ? Gott gibt nur das Herz, du füllst es. Achtung. Was füllst du? Denn dann musst du es leeren. beschmutze nicht dein herz. Allah weiß auch, was in den Tiefen der Herzen ist. Alles was schön ist… Seele, Herz, Liebe, Glaube… Wer Kämpft, kann Verlieren. Wer nicht Kämpft, hat schon Verloren. Lebe jeden Tag deines Lebens, als wäre es dein letzter. Also wirst du eines Tages Recht haben"
