This is a re-post, it was one of my first images on Flickr, but I have re-edited it and converted it to B&W. I have now been on Flickr for almost a year and this is my 100th photo!!

I would like to thank all my Flickr friends for being so supportive and providing me with such valued feedback on my work.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!

I really enjoy all your photos and I'm looking forward to seeing more in 2016!

Lotus Lily bud unravelling by Viv.....

234 53

Nelumbo nucifera, also known as Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, Egyptian bean or simply lotus, is one of two extant species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae. It is often colloquially called a water lily. Under favorable circumstances the seeds of this aquatic perennial may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1,300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China. It has a very wide native distribution, ranging from central and northern India (at altitudes up to 1,400 m in the southern Himalayas), through northern Indochina and East Asia, with isolated locations at the Caspian Sea. It has a very long history (c. 3,000 years) of being cultivated for its edible seeds, and it is commonly cultivated in water gardens. It is the national flower of India and Vietnam. The roots of lotus are planted in the soil of the pond or river bottom, while the leaves float on the water's surface or are held well above it. The flowers are usually found on thick stems rising several centimeters above the leaves. The leaf stalks (petioles) can be up to 200 cm long, allowing the plant to grow in water to that depth, and a horizontal spread of 1 m. The leaves may be as large as 80 cm in diameter, while the showy flowers can be up to 30 cm in diameter. 7711

Unexpected heart by Apionid

I went looking for ancient trees hoping to find a carved heart. I was very much off the beaten track though so all the trees were gloriously pristine. However, I did come across this abandoned cabin, in the process of being eaten by nature.

It's hard to believe a year has come and gone once again. I for one am happy to see 2015 end. It has been a year of hardships, loss and health issues.

My wish for 2016 for all my Flickr and SL friends is joy, love, prosperity and good health.

Thank you for stopping by and peeking in. Happy New Year.♥

Great Egret Wings Down by In Memoriam: Vidterry

29 103

A few of you will remember that in 2008 my city suffered a 1000 year mega-flood. Still stands as the worst per-capita damage flood in any US city in history.

Comes now 2016, and we are bracing for the second worst flood -- aleady labeled a 500 year flood -- which will reach its worst later Monday. Imagine -- hyperbole or not -- a 1000 year flood and a 500 year flood in the course of 8 years.

But naturally some will continue to say that climate change is an imaginary political creation. Astonishing.

The Sentinel by Craig Goettsch

I absolutely adore pikas. Not just for their cuteness, they are also extremely ambitious in how they gather food for the long winters where they live as they do not hibernate. They live in talus fields near or above timberline and store food in haypiles among the rocks that they will eat during the long winter months.

They'r not hard to spot, but can be difficult to capture as they don't sit very long in one location. They can usually be heard before they are seen as they call out back and forth, sometimes in search of a mate and others as a warning to impending danger. They are 6-8 inches in length and can live up to 6 years or so.

There is a small colony on the western side of Cottonwood Pass in western Colorado. The elevation here approaches 12,000 feet and is an ideal location for them. More to follow!

Thank you for your views and comments - they are much appreciated!

Soft pink ... by Elisafox22 off and on a bit!

For the Macro Monday challenge "Pink" (15th August 2022)

Our porch is full of pink geraniums at the moment, flowers and fallen petals everywhere! So there really was no other choice - continuing my theme from July - celebrating the geraniums that brighten our lives each summer!

The shot fills the frame at nearly 3 inches across.
