Yellow cactus flower

                         Yellow cactus flower

More commonly, yellow cactus color is found in the blooms. Numerous cacti have yellow blooms. While some flowers are insignificant, many are attractive and some are long lasting. The following large groups contain cacti with yellow flowers: Ferocactus (barrel, globoid to columnar

This is a barrel-shaped beauty with a green body covered tightly with heavy gold-yellow spines. Blooms are golden as well. Golden barrel cactus grows easily indoors in a sunny or bright light situation. It is somewhat unusual to find cacti that are yellow with yellow blooms as well.

Distinctly yellow with long, spreading central and radial spines covering a yellow body is the general description of the California barrel cactus. Some are tinted in other shades, such as green or red. These grow along the Discovery Trail in Lost Dutchman State Park, Arizona and California deserts.

Clouds

Clouds

however generally or largely Dark or black clouds are an indication of the availability of sufficient water droplets in the clouds sufficient enough to fall as rain in due time as they grow larger and heavier as large water droplets fail the Rayleigh criterion for visible light and so no longer scatter them.

Ganga Barrage

Officially named as Lav Khush Barrage, this bridge across the Ganges lies at Azad Nagar-Nawabganj in Kanpur.

Construction started in 1995 and inaugurated in May 2000. The total length is 621 m and will serve as a four lane Highway

Trans Ganga city

The Trans Ganga City project, propped as a modern and clean-green city, would be developed by Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation (UPSIDC). Under the project, along with industrial and residential areas, commercial and institutional areas would be developed.A housing society comprising exhibition centre, multiplex, mega mall and multi-storied residential complexes are proposed.

Kanpur Lucknow High Speed Train

The high speed train is proposed between Ganga Barrage and Lucknow which will give relief for daily commuters between two cities.

Kanpur Lucknow Expressway

The new expressway between Kanpur and Lucknow will be started from Ganga Barrage. It would be eight lane access controlled expressway

Goving nagar

Govind Nagar is a southern neighbourhood of Kanpur named after Govind Vallabh Pant as he inaugurated this locality. It was the largest Vidhan Sabha constituency in Asia until Kidwai Nagar Vidhan Sabha constituency was formed. It is surrounded by Fazalganj and Pratapganj in the north, Dada Nagar in the west, Bakarganj and Kidwai Nagar in the east, barra, Juhi and Tulsi Vihar in the south. It is large area comprising Halkawanda Colony, Param Purwa, Saket Nagar. Govindpuri Railway Station is located in Govind Nagar and Jhakarkatti Bus station 4 km east.

FLOWER

Its petals are yellow on both sides, with the exception of dark purple nectar guides on the front of the lower three petals. The flowers arise from the same stems as the leaves. Viola glabella is a perennial herb, growing to 0.1 m (0ft 4in) by 0.2 m (0ft 8in) and blooming from April to July. The plant is deciduous and dies back completely to its roots during Autumn.

Viola glabella prefers moist, well-drained soil and can grow in part shade. Acidic and neutral soils are suitable for Viola glabella, which prefers a pH between 6 and 6.5, and becomes chlorotic if the pH is too high.^[1]

Young leaves and flower buds are edible, raw or cooked, but the yellow flowers

Viola glabella, the stream violet or pioneer violet, is usually found along streams or in moist woods in northeastern Asia and northwestern North America. Its petals are yellow on both sides, with the exception of dark purple nectar guides on the front of the lower three petals

DUCK

Duck is the common name for numerous species in the waterfowl family Anatidae which also includes swans and geese. Ducks are divided among several subfamilies in the family Anatidae; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species) but a form taxon, since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.

This word replaced Old English end"duck", possibly to avoid confusion with other Old English words, like end"end" with similar forms. Other Germanic languages still have similar words for "duck", for example, Dutch end "duck", German Enter "duck" and Norwegian and "duck"

Purple Flower 

Purple is a powerful color. When the Pantone Color Institute declared a shade of purple named Ultra Violet to be the Color of the Year, they called it “complex and contemplative,” noting that purple has long been “symbolic of unconventionality and artistic brilliance.” While I don’t know much about using purple for interior design, art, or fashion, I do know how to use it in a garden. The power and bravado of purple in the landscape is undeniable, especially when it comes to perennials.

Today, I’d like to share my favorite purple perennial flowers. Whether their shade of purple is dark and regal or light and luscious, these beauties add depth, richness, and a pop of color to your garden.

calendula flower

Calendula officinalis, the pot marigold, ruddles, common marigold or Scotch marigold,is a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It isprobably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin. It is also widely naturalised farther north in Europe (as far as southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world

Calendulas are considered by many gardening experts as among the easiest and most versatile flowers to grow in a garden, especially because they tolerate most soils. In temperate climates, seeds are sown in spring for blooms that last throughout the summer and well into the fall. In areas of limited winter freezing, seeds are sown in autumn for winter color. Plants will wither in subtropical summer. Seeds will germinate freely in sunny or half-sunny locations, but plants do best if planted in sunny locations with rich, well-drained soil. Pot marigolds typically bloom quickly from seed (in under two months) in bright yellows, golds, and oranges.

Lighting

                                                 Chandelier-lighting                            

Classic chandeliers have arrays of hanging crystal prisms to illuminate a room with refracted light, while contemporary chandeliers assume a more minimalist design that does not contain prisms and illuminate a room with direct light from the lamps, sometimes also equipped with translucent glass covering each lamp. Modern chandeliers have a more modernized design that uses LEDs, and combines the elements of both classic and contemporary designs; some are also equipped with refractive crystal prisms or small mirrors.

Lamp-lightning

Chandeliers are distinct from pendant lights, as they usually consist of multiple lamps and hang in branched frames, whereas pendant lights hang from a single cord and only contain one or two lamps with fewer decorative elements. Due to their size, they are often installed in hallways, living rooms, staircases, lounges, and dining rooms. However, miniature chandeliers also exist, which can be installed in smaller spaces such as bedrooms or small living spaces.

                                BADA BAGH

Bada Bagh, also called Barabagh (lit. "grand garden" in Hindustani) is a garden complex located about six kilometers north of Jaisalmer in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Overlooking a mango grove sits a set of royal chhatri cenotaphs constructed by the Maharajas of the Jaisalmer State in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries CE

Bada Bagh is situated on a small hill. The memorial chhatri cenotaphs have all been carved out of sandstone blocks, but have been built in at least four different sizes - for the ruling kings, their queens, their princes, and other royal family members. Each cenotaph has a marble slab with inscriptions about the deceased royal and a symbolic image of a man on a horse.

GRASSHOPPER

Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is probably the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago.

Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which allow them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. As hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis; they hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage. At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change color and behavior and form swarms. Under these circumstances, they are known as locusts.

Grasshoppers are plant-eaters, with a few species at times becoming serious pests of cereals, vegetables and pasture, especially when they swarm in their millions as locusts and destroy crops over wide areas. They protect themselves from predators by camouflage; when detected, many species attempt to startle the predator with a brilliantly-coloured wing-flash while jumping and (if adult) launching themselves into the air, usually flying for only a short distance. Other species such as the rainbow grasshopper have warning coloration which deters predators. Grasshoppers are affected by parasites and various diseases, and many predatory creatures feed on both nymphs and adults. The eggs are subject to attack by parasitoids and predators.

Grasshoppers have had a long relationship with humans. Swarms of locusts can have devastating effects and cause famine, and even in smaller numbers, the insects can be serious pests. They are used as food in countries such as Mexico and Indonesia.

BIRDS

BIRDS

The window in my living room opens out to a wide field that ends in a line of trees. The birds live in the trees and in the mornings they fly out over the field.
There’s something about birds.

Sometimes you see a yellow one or a blue one. Mostly, though, they are Shades of white and brown. I watch as two white birds chase each other, loop around, and fly out of my view.

Some people spend hours and days watching birds. I imagine it sharpens their senses. Their eyes learn to pick out flashes of movement in the overwhelming green of the canopy. Their ears learn the distinct song of each bird.

I, however, am content to watch the field from my living room window, and if a bird flies through my view, so be it.

Bunting is what you do in baseball (as I have heard all my life). It is that red, white, and blue half-circle of fabric they put up to play patriotic. It is also a family of birds.

My instinct tells me birds feel like hope and joy and a oneness with nature that I’ve experienced only a few times. They are also synonymous for my soul.

And once, I wrote about a bird in a story and was shocked at how much the bird, my “character,” moved me. Just now, a yellow bird flew the whole length of my window.
