At the gate into the gardens of Villa Borghese at closing time. Well, actually past closing time, but the gate was still open so...
And please don't ask what kind of flower/bush this is. I have no wish to show off my complete ignorance of the subject!

Sahara dust is dust from the Sahara that ends up on earth with the rain. During dust and sand storms, which occur in the desert area, the dust can reach up to kilometers in the atmosphere. When the air current is directed from south to north over an enormous distance, the Sahara dust can even reach above the Netherlands and Belgium or even further north.
Thanks for all the nice comments, it is much appreciated

The Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola. It is 3.8 km long, and 30 to 90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters.
The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice. The noble Venetian families faced huge expenses to show off their richness in suitable palazzos; this contest reveals the citizens’ pride and the deep bond with the lagoon.
Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the recent, controversial Ponte della Costituzione, designed by Santiago Calatrava, connecting the train station to Piazzale Roma, one of the few places in Venice where buses and cars can enter. As was usual in the past, people can still take a ferry ride across the canal at several points by standing up on the deck of a simple gondola called a traghetto, although this service is less common than even a decade ago.
Most of the palaces emerge from water without pavement. Consequently, one can only tour past the fronts of the buildings on the grand canal by boat.
I would like to thank all, that you have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.

My first real view of Dartmoor, Devon. Grey Wethers Stone Circles are just visible down from the horizon on the left hand side. Zeiss ExoLens (Wide-Angle), Manfrotto Tripod, Hisy remote, ever so gently tickled in Snapseed on iPad Air.
I saw this bird in Colombia and its one of the few birds that I also saw in Costa Rica. I was surprised how little overlap there was.
HSS!
Flickr friends, a windstorm knocked out my Internet all day on Saturday, and my service has only now been restored, so I have fallen behind on comments. I'll be looking to catch up with your latest images on Sunday.

Dunguaire Castle (Irish: Dún Guaire) is a 16th-century tower house on the southeastern shore of Galway Bay in County Galway, Ireland, near Kinvara (also spelled Kinvarra). The name derives from the Dun of King Guaire, the legendary king of Connacht. The castle's 75-foot (23 m) tower and its defensive wall have been restored, and the grounds are open to tourists during the summer.
The castles slates are from an old school in Kinvara (co.Galway). The school was bought,the owners who bought the castle gave the slates to the castle and are still there today.
