Taken on a shop window in my local town which is always worth a look at the display for the wonderful photos, collages, posters and odd items for sale.
The story about how the expose yourself to art poster came about is in the link below .
The coastal fringe really "greens up' towards the start of our spring. It's a great time to walk the track along the cliff tops with the odd whale sighting and usually just the dog for company

The river Alblas is a small river in the Dutch province Zuid-Holland.
Bleskensgraaf is really called Bleskensgraaf and Hofwegen. They were combined in 1855. The village forms part of the municipality of Molenwaard. Apart from a number of old farms and a flourmill, Bleskensgraaf does not have many monuments.
The village lies in the middle of the polder landscape of the Alblasserwaard, on the small bog river Alblas. There is the Natuurpad [Nature trail] Bleskensgraaf, which also passes along the hamlet of De Donk, which lies on a seven-metre high hill. A ‘donk’ is a type of sand dune which originated in the ice age. Some protrude above the peat and clay ground.
sunrise in Monument Valley with the East Mitten, West Mitten and Merrimack Butte. Always a magical place to enjoy the quiet.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

I'm trying but I keep falling down
I cry out but nothing comes now
I'm giving my all and I know peace will come
I never wanted to need someone
Yeah, I wanted to play tough
Thought I could do all just on my own
But even Superwoman
Sometimes needed Superman's soul
Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
And if you let go I'll float towards the sun
I'm stronger 'cause you fill me up
But when the fear comes and I drift towards the ground
I am lucky that you're around
Yeah, I wanted to play tough
Thought I could do all just on my own
But even Superwoman
Sometimes needed Superman's soul
Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
'Cause your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
You lift me up and I am found
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up when I'm down down down
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up and I am found
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up when I'm down down down
You lift me up before I hit the ground!
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
'Cause your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium

CAMINO DE LA GRANJA
Zorro en busca de refugio tras haber bebido en la Fuente de la Marquesa.
Partiendo del Monasterio de La Santa Espina, aguas abajo del rio Bajoz, al pie de la carretera de San Cebrián de Mazote, discurre parte del del camino de la Granja. Camino que retorna al propio Monasterio. Su recorrido es de 8 km. y unas 2 horas de duración, de escasa dificultad, puede recorrerse durante todo el año.
La historia y tradición que impregna la edificación de la granja. Pudo ser posada para monjes enfermos, o bien residencia para el mayordomo de labranza y criados del convento), dan nombre a la ruta.
El sendero es de gran tranquilidad y Naturaleza en estado puro: En su recorrido se pueden ver corzo, ZORROS, conejos etc.. Mágicos y umbrías choperas que dejan entrever el Pueblo de la Santa Espina. Espeso monte sobrevolado por numerosas rapaces, los verdes valles del Bajoz y Sobravíos, dibujan un paisaje tapizado por sistemas de regadío de época de colonización: pozos, acequias, cigüeñales, algún estanque, fuentes naturales como la Fuente de La Marquesa.
El camino atesora vistas de gran belleza: la horizontalidad de paramo, llanura agreste contemplada desde el Chalet de Piedra (antigua casa del guarda) el Pueblo de la Santa Espina, el propio Monasterio y el monte que lo circunda, se divisan desde un recodo situado a los pies de la Cuesta de los Almendros, a modo de balcón.

The flame skimmer or firecracker skimmer (Libellula saturata) is a common dragonfly of the family Libellulidae, native to western North America.
Male flame skimmers are known for their entirely red or dark orange body, this includes eyes, legs, and even wing veins. Females are usually a medium or darker brown with some thin, yellow markings. This particular type of skimmer varies in size but is generally measured somewhere between two and three inches long. These naiads are known for being rather large and chubby-looking due to their rounded abdomen. They are covered with hair but, unlike most young dragonflies, they lack hooks or spines.

After a respectable climb of about 300 m ((984 ft) in altitude, you find a vast panorama at the Montagne de Cras. An orientation table describes the place. The whole village of Pierreclos is at our feet, dominated by its castle. In the distance on the left, you can clearly see the very recognizable silhouette of the Roche de Vergisson.

Un vaste panorama
Après une bonne montée d'environ 300 m de dénivelé, un vaste panorama se découvre à la Montagne de Cras et une table d'orientation y décrit les lieux. Tout le village de Pierreclos est à nos pieds, dominé par son château. Au loin sur la gauche, on voit très bien la silhouette très reconnaissable de la Roche de Vergisson.

Just resting for a bit before heading back for some more ice skating fun. And here comes our selfie, in a rush and unprepared. :D
A lonely lighthouse station keeps watch over a section of the Inner Passage. This little station was the only visible signs of human activity to be found amongst the dense endless forest here. The scene reminded me of a fairytale set in an enchanting emerald sea.

Every time I’ve been to this stunning lake the water has been frozen solid so I was pleased to find a small section open. The downside was that to include it in my composition I had to… stand in it.
This is a truly stunning location and one I love returning to every time I visit the rockies.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!
Looking Close... on Friday: A single egg
A tiny nest that fell out of a tree after it was finished with; a little plastic egg from my Child Care Centre; a Crimson Rosella feather from the bird bath; in the Mulberry bush which needs a good trim this Autumn.
