Yesterday at the "Kleine Kyll" near Manderscheid/Volcanic Eifel.
While the snow lay in the shadowy valley, he had melted over it on the sun-lit trees. This resulted in a gold-colored reflection of the warm winter light on the water surface.
Gestern an der Kleinen Kyll bei Manderscheid/Vulkaneifel.
Während im schattigen Tal der Schnee liegen blieb, war er darüber auf den von der Sonne beschienenen Bäumen geschmolzen. So ergab sich eine goldfarbene Spiegelung des warmen Winterlichts auf der Wasserfläche.

We were traveling in the Khwai reserve and had spotted a female leopard when we received a radio message that a young leopard had captured an impala fawn.
We were quickly at the scene.
The fawn was still alive, the young cat didn't quite know how to kill the poor thing.
Hunting was one thing, killing was another.
How did mom do that again???
We were able to watch the drama for 90 minutes, at the end the cat dragged the antelope, which was still alive, onto a tree trunk.

I took this on a rainy day across the street in front of the neighbour's house. They always have lavender growing there, but it hasn't been kept up, so the weeds and grasses grow wild. I loved the way the raindrops clung to the seeded grass with the lavender mixing in.
we had some sunshine :-))

Another Puffin on the Island of Lunga. This one is having a good old wing stretch and I managed not to clip it's wings in the shot! That was possibly more luck than judgement.
Thank you my Flickr friends for stopping by. I really appreciate any faves and comments. Thanks again and have a great day.
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow was built as a gratitude to God for help and intercession in the difficult period of the history of Russia - during the Patriotic War of 1812. This is a monument to the Russian people for their courage and heroism..The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow is the largest cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church, containing up to 10,000 people. In terms of the cathedral was an equal-end cross over 85 meters wide. The height of the lower block is about 37 meters, the height of the drum is 28 meters, the height of the dome with a cross is 35 meters. The total height of the structure is 103 meters, the internal space is 79 meters. Wall thickness - up to 3.2 meters. The outer part was framed by a double row of marble high reliefs made by sculptors Klodt, Loginovsky and Ramazanov. All the entrance doors - only twelve - were made of bronze, and the images of the saints decorating them were cast according to sketches by the famous sculptor Count F. P. Tolstoy. The building was restored as close as possible to the original. In the construction used sketches and drawings of the last century. However, there are differences. A stylobate part with a height of 17 meters was built on the place of the base-hill, where the Church of the Transfiguration, refectory chambers and auxiliary services are located. Here are also the Halls of Church Councils and meetings of the Holy Synod. A ramp is built for entry. Elevators are installed in the columns and in the stylobate part. Marble from the Chelyabinsk region and red granite brought from Finland were used for decoration.

I really liked the colour combo of these lilies which I spotted in someone's rock garden.

Vibrant colours and lively metalwork at the historic old Smithfield Market in London--this was an unexpected find on a Sunday stroll. The market is closed on the weekends but opens for business during the week at--wait for it!--2:00 a.m. This means the workers hit the pub for lunch and a pint around 7:00 a.m. Apparently, the pubs in the area have a special license to sell alcohol that early because of the hours the market workers keep. What a scene it must be some mornings! For more on the history of the market: www.smithfieldmarket.com/

This is in a neighbour's garden, every time she found a lost flipflop, or thong as we call them in Australia, she would bring it home and nail it on the dead branch of her tree. She no longer lives there but the tree and the flipflops remain.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my world Daily and we have an awesome theme at Looking close on Friday : White and Wonderful.
I must admit white and blue is one of my favorite colors combination. I had several concepts in my head but I choose the one you see in this picture. What is more White and Wonderful than a white pencil and a tiny white paper heart (made by me during a very long meeting…).
Today is a huge laundry day for me since I skipped the laundry yesterday… And since it is super hot and humid in Montreal, after laundry, we will have some pool time for sure !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! And see you soon !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !

Hi there,
It's sunflower season in Manitoba which is something I always look forward to. Because of the drought conditions, the sunflowers were quite small, perhaps 3-4 feet tall at best. The flowers were already beginning to wilt. We just got some rain, so I'm hoping that the crops perk up.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!

De Ribes Sanguineum wordt meestal niet voor de bessen aangeplant, maar voor de bloemenpracht in het voorjaar. De bloemen, maar ook de pikzwarte bessen die in het najaar aan de struik verschijnen, zijn niet eetbaar, ze zijn zelfs giftig.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ribes Sanguineum is usually not planted for the berries, but for the flowers in the spring. The flowers, but also the pitch-black berries that appear on the shrub in autumn, are not edible, they are even poisonous.
A different year and a different shoreline. The change in the lake level brings a whole new perspective to the area. A photo at this spot last year did not have any of the rocks except for the big one. Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada.
