As the sun sets on the Tamar Valley long shadows appear in the landscape. If you enlarge this shot you can see the East Tamar Highway winding its way from Launceston to George Town. In the foreground there are football fields and cattle grazing.
"Se o sol se por
e a noite chegar
tu és quem me guia...
Se a tempestade
me alcançar
tu és meu abrigo...
Se o mar me submergir
a tua mão me traz à tona
pra respirar..."

Presente que ganhei da amiga Fran Sayuri e que divido com vocês, meus amigos.

As with most things in China, their highways are impressive. Beautifully built and with manicured gardens down the middle. Not so impressive is the traffic sense; what was this three wheeled vehicle doing in the centre lane on a three lane highway?
What was our bus driver thinking? Why fall in behind a slow moving three wheeled vehicle when he could have pulled out and passed it long before we caught up with and followed this red terror. China is a country of inexplicable contradictions encountered every day we were there.

As the sun sets on some more of that magic plastic that we use here in Central Coast California to grow our berries.
As I was driving by this old barnyard, I noticed a few chickens hurriedly making their way across the yard to the shed. Then I spied the problem. A cocky rooster was purposely strutting toward the hens with just one thing on his mind. All I could think of was that the farmer bought a new young rooster and the hens were not pleased. I wish I could have watched what unfolded, but I was stopped in the middle of a country road (yet again). I can hear the ladies now, “We want old Mr. Doodledont back again.”
As the first rays of the sunrise embrace the horizon, we welcome a new year filled with hope, dreams, and endless possibilities. Here's to making every moment as golden as this morning. Wishing you all a joyful, prosperous, and peaceful New Year 2025!
"are you back?" he asked.
"maybe," came her cool response, drifting on a curling breeze from the ocean that was weighted heavy with salt and dreams. she was like that, you know. bitter sweet.
"i want you back." his eyes were tender as he reached for a beer, cracked it open, took a sip. he kept is eyes on her.
"yeah," she shook her short hair, and the wind sent it everywhere. it sent her scent everywhere. garnier fructis. cheap shit never smelled so good. "me, too."
he took her picture like that. hands stuffed in the pockets of her jean jacket -- half dressed, covered in sand and provoking. she was always provoking something. emotions. sex. laughs. smiles. hatred. this time it was lust.
god, he missed her to her marrow.

As I continue to study flowers, I find myself intrigued with the play of light and shadow on their form. This Hellebore flower was drooping towards the ground. The softness of the petals shimmering in the light and the muted tones of the ones in the shadows reminded me of an Impressionistic view of blossom.
As there were strong thunderstorms just over this area, assume this was naturally caused. Taken along the Colorado River.
As I climbed the last mountain, Lake Shasta Reservoir way down the valley to my left, I caught a glimpse of a waterfall to my right, set back in the woods. I pulled off the road a hundred yards later, and decided I'd go take a look even though it was lightly raining. This small set of waterfalls was about 75 feet back from the road. I'm sure it's dry in the summer, but California has had so much rain, even the reservoir is completely full after years of drought. Anyway, kinda surprised I saw this from the road, trees have it almost completely concealed.

As promised, the breeding male Pin-tailed Whydah. Native to Africa, this Southern California exotic is a small songbird, but he sure makes up for his size with those foot-long tail feathers. Of the several I have seen over the last few years, this is one of my cleaner images. They actually do a really cool mid-air dance for the girls - still waiting for that shot.
CityCenter (also known as CityCenter Las Vegas) is a 16,797,000-square-foot (1,560,500 m2) mixed-use, urban complex on 76 acres (31 ha) located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The project was started by MGM Resorts International; Dubai World became a joint partner during the project's construction phase. It is the largest privately funded construction project in the history of the United States.[3] The project is connected by a people mover system to adjacent MGM properties Monte Carlo Las Vegas and Bellagio Las Vegas.[4] As of 2015, the "CityCenter" branding has been largely retired, with the focus instead on the Aria brand of the development's centerpiece property in names such as the "Aria Express" (formerly "CityCenter Tram") and "Aria Art Collection" (formerly "CityCenter Art Collection").
The project straddles Harmon Avenue and is bordered by (listed clockwise, starting on the east side): Las Vegas Boulevard, the Park MGM, I-15, the Bellagio, and The Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino. The site was formerly occupied by the Boardwalk Hotel and Casino, the Bellagio employee parking lot, and several standalone commercial structures.
The conceptual master plan for Project City Center, announced on November 9, 2004, was designed by Ehrenkrantz, Eckstut & Kuhn Architects, laying out the project with approximately 2,400 condominium and condo-hotel units and approximately 4,800 hotel rooms, distributed within several high-rise towers around The Crystals, an ultra high-end retail mall. It is designed to have all commodities for daily life, featuring a 4,000-room hotel and casino (Aria), two 400-room boutique hotels (The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, with 227 residential condo units, and The Harmon Hotel and Spa), a purely residential offering (Veer Towers), a condo-hotel (Vdara Condo-hotel) and a 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2) retail and entertainment district which was intended to house the first grocery store directly on the Strip (though as of July 2011, there is no grocery on the property). The multi-use project makes extensive use of green technologies, such as using reclaimed water and an on-site power plant. The Mandarin Oriental, Aria, and Vdara all received LEED certification in November 2009.
With a total cost of approximately $9.2 billion,[5] CityCenter is the largest privately financed development in the United States. The original cost estimate was $4 billion, but it was pushed up by rising construction costs and design changes. CityCenter opened with approximately 12,000 employees across the different projects. Vdara, Aria, Mandarin Oriental, and The Crystals opened in December 2009. The Veer Towers opened in July 2010.
CityCenter features five water and ice features. These were designed by WET Design, the company responsible for the Bellagio fountain and the Mirage volcano. Three of these features are located at Aria Resort & Casino, entitled Lumia (a musical fountain), Focus (a water wall on the exterior), and Latisse (a water wall inside the casino). The remaining two are located in The Crystals: Halo (freestanding columns of water vortices) and Glacia (ice pillars).
Einige fragen oft was die Reifen an dem Grubber sollen, damit wird der Bodengepackt er wird angedrückt.
Der HORSCH Tiger AS eignet sich von der flachen Bodenbearbeitung bis hin zur tiefen Lockerung auf 35 cm Tiefe. Er bricht Pflugsohlen auf und mischt gleichzeitig organische Masse zuverlässig über den gesamten Bearbeitungshorizont ein
Intensive mischende Bodenbearbeitung und eine tiefe Lockerung auf bis zu 35 cm - dafür steht der HORSCH Tiger AS. Durch die homogene Einmischung der Ernte- oder Zwischenfruchtrückstände über den gesamten Bearbeitungshorizont werden optimale Bedingungen für die Folgekultur geschaffen. Durch den bekannten TerraGrip Zinken mit bis zu 550 kg Auslösekraft und einer maximalen Ausfederhöhe von 30 cm kann der Tiger auf nahezu allen Standorten eingesetzt werden. In Kombination mit den bekannten Scharen und Flügelvarianten von HORSCH können Bearbeitungstiefen von 3 bis 35 cm realisiert werden. In Verbindung mit dem TerraCut Schar kann der Tiger AS sogar für einen ganzflächigen, flachen Schnitt auf 3 - 5 cm Bearbeitungstiefe genutzt werden. Durch seine enorme Rahmenhöhe von 85 cm und dem großzügig dimensionierten Zinkenabstand von 92 cm sind auch größere Mengen an Ernterückständen kein Problem. Durch die sehr gute Einmischung wird die Rotte beschleunigt und Störschichten für die Folgekultur vermieden. Im Nachgang zum Zinkenfeld sorgt das 1-reihige Scheibensystem für eine optimale Einebnung vor dem Packer. Je nach Bodenbedingungen kann man aus einem breiten Angebot an Packer wählen. Es sind sowohl Reifenpacker als auch Standardpacker wählbar. Bei den Modellen mit Reifenpacker findet der Straßentransport direkt auf dem Reifenpacker statt. Bei den Varianten mit Standardpacker verfügt der Tiger über ein sogenanntes Revolverfahrwerk. Dabei wird der Packer mit dem Fahrwerk für den Straßentransport verschwenkt. Somit ist ein komfortabler Transport auf der Straße sichergestellt. Je nach Kundenwunsch kann der Tiger AS dann noch mit den verschiedensten Zusatzausrüstungen kombiniert werden. Unter anderem mit der bekannten MiniDrill für die Aussaat von Zwischenfrüchten oder mit einem Düngerverteilerturm zur Ausbringung von Düngern oder anderen Materialien. Der Tiger AS ist somit die ideale Maschine für alle, die sowohl sehr flach als auch sehr tief bis zu 35 cm Tiefe arbeiten und zusätzlich noch die verschiedensten Aufgaben mit erfüllen kann.

Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!🙋♀️
As Cleo has arthrosis she has to take two pills every day. Cleo and I have reached an agreement: she allows me to put the pills directly into her mouth without shredding my fingers and in return she gets some treats. This generally works very well but it only works with me. When my sister had to give her the pills once several adhesive bandages were required afterwards.
as our country erupts around more (heartbreaking, painful) racial injustice, my heart aches. while fully aware of the horrors in this world, i turn again and again to nature. i dig in the dirt, plant seeds, and notice beauty. i watch light, as it always accompanies even the deepest darkness. this flower reminds me to shine, to blossom, and to love, love, love.
As a child, I was already interested in birds, and in the process I already found the Grey Crowned Crane particularly beautiful because of its head. So when this bird turned up (probably escaped) in the Netherlands, I gave it a try. I was glad they showed themselves.

The Nabegataki waterfalls in Kumamoto prefecture, in Southern Japan. With plenty of rainfall as of late, the falls were even more impressive than usually. There were only few tourists around, which made taking pictures easier.
最近、雨が多いですから、熊本県の鍋ヶ滝の勢いは通常よりもありました。訪ねた日には、観光客はわりと少なくて、撮りやすかったです。
Also known as: Hedgehog Cactus, Mojave Mound Cactus, Kingcup Cactus, That Spiny Thing You’ll Regret Touching
This cactus is the prom queen of the desert—short, spiky, and radiant in red. The flowers look like someone dipped a shot glass in cherry Kool-Aid and dared it to grow on a porcupine.
It thrives in dry, rocky places where most plants say, “Nope,” and curl up to die. Not the Claret Cup. This one digs in, throws shade (literally none), and blooms like it’s starring in a spring fashion show for hummingbirds.
Why do I love it?
Because it’s tough, it’s gorgeous, and it only stabs you if you get too close, which is also how I feel about some relatives.
Couplet:
It blooms like a torch in the desert's embrace,
Just don't try to hug it—it'll scratch up your face.
