My first Belina's Dream Rose of the year. Only my Roses, Jasmin and Honeysuckle survived the Winter frosts.

Inaugurada en 1906, la moderna Estación de Socorro a Náufragos de Esposende sustituyó a la antigua «casa de los salva vidas», un barracón de madera que, desde 1876, albergaba la embarcación que se utilizaba para ayudar a la comunidad pesquera y comercial en caso de naufragio.

 

Hasta los años 70 , el barco salvavidas de esta Estación de Resgate Maritimo y sus heroicas tripulaciones marcaron la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte en el mar de Esposende.

 

El edificio fue totalmente recuperado por la Asociación Fórum Esposendense y se instaló allí el Museo Marítimo, que abrió sus puertas en 2012.

Allium ursinum

The Latin specific name ursinum translates to 'bear' and refers to the supposed brown bear's taste for the bulbs; folk tales describe the bears consuming them after awakening from hibernation.

Belinda's Dream Rose is dreaming again. We all need to dream a little to escape the harshness of the world's reality. These roses are 5" in diameter, and I have so many buds. I am still amazed that I've been able to grow such beautiful flowers.

I love the oversized beaks on these guys. This one's markings look a bit unusual. Their aerial breeding displays are dramatic and high energy.

Tango. That's the music, and the dance, which enchanted Al Pacino, at the time he was blind, in the movie Scent of a Woman. His name was Frank, he still had feelings so Frank danced, and enchanted everyone when he took the beautiful and unknown young woman to dance. Everyone fell silent in that large room, while Frank, the retired military man, who whirled in a poetic cadence, provoking sighs and pure enchantment around the four corners of the hall. And not just from the hall where he danced, but from all the movie theaters where that magnificent moment was immortalized.

Well Frank, whatever your name is, throw away that stupid weapon you carry in your heart. Let's all dance for peace. Open your eyes, Frank. Let's dance that amazing dream.

“Nature’s Goddess”

 

The lace like feathers of the Great Heron during breeding season is one of Mother Nature’s most dramatic scenes in the avian world.

Burchell’s Coucal (Whitebrowned Coucal) is so beautiful, shy and yet such a beast when it comes to it’s eating habits.

This bird has a chestnut-brown back and similar wing feathers, a long tail with marked bands in its upper parts. They eat any prey smaller than itself (size ± 40 cm long & ±180 grams). It has a particular liking for young nestlings and the eggs of other birds. It will seek out and eat off the nest whatever it can find, and for this reason I call it a beast.

===Let's love

I will never leave your side, my love

Standing right beside you is enough

Call on me if you feel any pain

Call to me, I'll run to you again

You can count on me

And I can count on you

You show up, like I show up

And I'll keep showing up for you

So take my hand, don't be afraid

This too shall pass, this too shall pass

And we'll get through it all together

We'll get through it all together

I swear you're safe, this too shall pass

This too shall pass, this too shall pass

And we'll get through it all together

We'll get through it all together

Windsor, Ontario’s riverfront is a wonderful place to visit with the best views of downtown Detroit, Michigan and also the Ambassador Bridge (seen in the background) that links the two cities across the Detroit River. But this riverfront is also home to some very unique sculptures, such as this one titled ‘Eve’s Apple’.

Great Horned Owl and her owlets.

Happy Bench Monday!!

HBM!!

It's kinda hard to see the bench but it's there. Surprisingly, because it's in a small town in the middle of no where, this place was kind of expensive and the people weren't that friendly.

We did have a wet Sunday here, and it looks like it's going to be a wet week..:( Anyway, hope your week goes well

  

The upwelling of a lava flow created these plates called "dragon's teeth" all along the north rim of the peninsula at Makaluapuna Point, Maui, Hawaii. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz filters.

 

Dragon’s Teeth was formed as a result of one of the last lava flows from West Maui Volcano thousands of years ago. The lava flow met the intense ocean waves and strong sea winds causing it to jut upwards, cool, and harden, creating the jagged black rock appearance.

It's a pleasant surprise to see this juvneile female Williamson's Sapsucker. Although she is not as colorful or flashy as her adult male counterpart, she is a lifer for me!

Cooper's Hawk

It is amazing to watch these Hawks...how still and motionless they are!

 

It's torn where there's beauty, it's torn where there's death

It's torn where there's mercy but torn somewhat less

It's torn in the highest from kingdom to crown

The messages fly but the network is down

Bruised at the shoulder and cut at the wrist

The sea rushes home to its thimble of mist

The opposites falter, the spirals reverse

And Eve must re-enter the sleep of her birth

And up through the system, the worlds are withdrawn

From every dominion the mind stood upon

And now that it's over and now that it's done

The name has no number, not even the one

Dining on a Gamble's quail by my kitchen door. He plucked the quail, ate 1/3 of him and left the carcass on my favorite chair. I cleaned up the mess not realizing he would return the next morning for breakfast. I'll know better next time.

Thank you Maria Xenou Photodromos for reminding me with your beautiful picture and song that tomorrrow is Mother's day, in Greece.

You brought memories and a tear to an old man's eyes.

This is my contribution, dedicated to all the mothers of the world.

Please, listen to the song, sang by two Angelic voices, Susan Boyle and Jackie Evancho.

It's called "A mother's prayer"

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are mostly green and gray, without any rufous or orange marks on the body. The male's head and throat are covered in iridescent reddish-pink feathers that can look dull brown or gray without direct sunlight.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are a blur of motion as they hover before flowers looking for nectar and insects. Listen for the male's scratchy metallic song and look for him perched above head level in trees and shrubs.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in yards, parks, residential streets, eucalyptus groves, riverside woods, savannahs, and coastal scrub. They readily come to hummingbird feeders and flowering plants, including cultivated species in gardens.

HBM!!

Happy Bench Monday!

This is Rabbit's Lounge. There last day was Memorial Day, May 25th. Rabbit, the owner, retired. Too bad too. This bar is in a seedy part of town, but it's an area that's being revitalized. In another a year or two..Who knows.

Hope your week goes well
