The Home of the Oak and Beech by Jan ( off and on )

129 293

The foothills of the mountains in the Southern Lakes are covered in trees. The acid soils and humid conditions encourage ferns and moss, sessile oaks and the most wonderful beech trees, many of which are copper beech. Holly, rowan and hazel grow here too - the perfect environment for wildlife. Bird song everywhere - just magic. Red squirrels also abide here, unseen (by me, quiet as I was), as they are small and quick.

We even had a pair of nuthatches visit our bird feeder. They became used to me, coming out for the special food I put out for them. They were raising families of course, and so their food was rich in protein. Not cheap, but worth it !

Taken from the top of our 'holiday retreat' path one morning. The light was so lovely.

Thank you as always for your kind comments, faves and invites - hope you feel inspired to visit this wonderful place.

As seen from the western Isar bank. The weir was completed in 1924. It's purpose is to raise the water level of the Isar river by 6 m and divert most of the water into the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal, which on it's lenght of 64 km supplies in total 7 run-of-the-river power stations with water.

This is the upstream side - downstream of the weir is a popular bathing place.

If I moved about I probably could have got a perfect reflection, but I thought the grass added nice foreground detail and made the shot a little different. This is the second outing for my Big Stopper and I am really pleased with the way it has caught the cloud which is tinged by the sunrise.

Dusk with rain at the shopping mall "嘉亭荟城市生活广场" (Jiatinghui City Life Plaza) beside the Anting Metro station.

The shop on the right belongs to a Chinese fashion chain - the apparently "Italian" name is just a hollow word...

From the Terrace by Louise Bleakly

The charming little hotel where I stayed in Venice had a terrace restaurant where I ate one night. The hotel was the home of the famous composer, Vivaldi, and was on St. Mark's Basin. It was also next to this great canal where one had a view of several bridges.
