So, some views from our room in Brugge, next to one of the most famous places and canals, and other places.

Brugge by day is beautiful, by night it becomes MAGIC.

Special lighting seems to take you back through the ages, the shadows protecting those who lived there.

That is when my imagination runs away with me again...

My city is always interesting, day or night.

Visited by lovers and people from all over the world.

The capital of West-Flanders.

The city where I was born!

CELOSIA CRISTATA... by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

In the Victorian language of flowers, Celosias signified humour, warmth, and silliness.

Looking quite brainy.

The quirky flowers do beg for attention.

Touch the flowers; they are amazingly soft.

The cockscomb or cristata types feel and look like velvet, soft and shiny.

They also are great for drying and thus can be kept for a long time, looking more and more antique.

Take care, be safe!

Have a day filled with inner joy and thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

Autumn is a season tinged with the beauty of colours and yet also with some nostalgia...

Another Summer gone, the 'dark' months upon us, with the season of light nearing!

The weather is quite gusty, we'll not have the colour for very long, some leaves are hanging on for dear life, others have let go...

The 'specks' you see are actually water-drops.

The closer you look, the more you discover.

Their textures are so interesting and intricate, a joy for my eyes.

Never had them in this colour before, new varieties all the time.

A strong and healthy flower.

Love them or hate them, Parrot Tulips are Spring's grand (bulb) showcase, big and beautiful, they are flamboyant flowers with streaks, ruffles and frayed edges.

LE MONT St MICHEL... by magda indigo

#AbFav_VIRTUAL_TRAVEL

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AbFav_WATER_💦

Perched on a 264 feet high rock formation sits Mont St. Michel. During the seasons' highest tides the abbey is surrounded by water.

During low tide the flats provide food for the world's only herd of salt water plant eating sheep (Les agneaux des prés salés), the meat tastes salty.

Mont St. Michel's tides can rush in at incredible speeds.The tides in the area shift quickly, and has been described by Victor Hugo as ‡ la vitesse d'un cheval au galop, "as swiftly as a galloping horse."

The tide actually comes in at 1 meter per second.

Popularly nicknamed "St. Michael in Peril of the Sea" by medieval pilgrims making their way across the tidal flats, the mount can still pose dangers for visitors who avoid the causeway and attempt the hazardous walk across the sands from the neighbouring coast.

The dangers from the tides and quick sands continue to claim lives.

Mont Saint Michel is a small rocky island about 1 km from the north coast of France at the mouth of the Couesnon River in Normandy.

The mount is best known for the medieval Benedictine Abbey and steepled church that occupies most of the 1km-diameter clump of rocks jutting out of the waters of the English Channel.

AND La Gendarmerie...

Take care, be safe!

COLOURFUL MORNING GLORY... by magda indigo

#AbFav_SUMMERGARDEN

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Convolvulaceae, known commonly as the bindweed or morning glory family, is a family of about 60 genera and more than 1,650 species of mostly herbaceous vines, but also trees, shrubs and herbs, and also including the sweet potato and a few other food tubers.

Morning glory was first known in China for its medicinal uses, due to the laxative properties of its seeds.

Most morning glory flowers unravel into full bloom in the early morning. The flowers usually start to fade a few hours before the "petals" start showing visible curling.

They prefer full solar exposure throughout the day, and mesic soils.

Some morning glories, such as Ipomoea muricata, are night-blooming flowers.

The Vaulted Cellarium is where stores of food were kept, because here they would stay cool, dry, and out of the sunlight.

I suddenly saw palm trees, lol?

In fact, it was one very large pantry.

If you walk beneath its arches at dusk on a summer evening, you’re more than likely to encounter one of the eight species of bat that have been reported around the Abbey.

The later it is, the better the light gets, another prime example here.

Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England.

Near Ripon in North Yorkshire.

Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

SWEET WILLIAM... Dianthus by magda indigo

45 1

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AbFav_MULTICOLOUR_🌈

Perfect harmony and light.

Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William) is a species of Dianthus, small Carnation, native to the mountains of southern Europe from the Pyrenees east to the Carpathians and the Balkans, with a variety in northeastern China, Korea, and south easternmost Russia.

The flowers are produced in a dense cluster of up to 30 at the top of the stems and have a spicy, clove like scent; each flower is 2–3 cm diameter with five petals with serrated edges; in wild plants the petals are red with a white base.

In the Victorian language of flowers, Sweet William symbolises gallantry.

Sweet William is a good candidate for a naturalistic garden because its nectar attracts birds, bees and butterflies.

Its flowers are considered edible...

I love them because of their unbelievable 'variety', both in colours and variegations!

They last a long time in a vase, real beauties.

All the best and thank you, M, (*_*)

BEAUTY HAS NO LIMITS... YET is OFTEN VERY EPHEMERAL? by magda indigo

73 7

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Another one of my 'FLOWER-STUDIES'.

PART II

The second stage!

A personal favourite.

You will find beauty in everything, just look!!!

The back of a Dandelion seed head (clock).

Children LOVE them!

We don't like them in our gardens... AND YET: The dandelion plant is a beneficial weed, with a wide range of uses, and is even a good companion plant for gardening.

Its taproot will bring up nutrients for shallower-rooting plants, and add minerals and nitrogen to soil.

It is also known to attract pollinating insects and release ethylene gas which helps fruit to ripen.

Taraxacum seeds are an important food source for certain birds.

Taraxacum, the common name is dandelion (from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth"), after flowering is finished, the dandelion flower head dries out for a day or two.

The dried petals and stamens drop off, the bracts reflex (curve backwards), and the parachute ball opens into a full sphere. Finally, the seed-bearing parachutes expand and lift out of it.

The parachute drops off the achene when it strikes an obstacle.

After the seed is released, the parachutes loose their feathered structure and take on a fuzzy, cotton-like appearance, often called "dandelion snow".Another thing I love about being a photographer, you start looking at things in a 'different' way?

About 'BEAUTY'.. artists sculpt, architects build, painters paint, photographers make images... the 'makers' and 'keepers' of beauty of moment?

Take care, be safe!

Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thanks, M, (*_*)

MINI FABERGE and MORE... EXPLORED! by magda indigo

well, I bought them on sale last year after the festive season, stored them and then forgot all about them, so what a wonderful discovery, they still were't cheap, but oh so gorgeous.

Like mini 'Faberge' eggs, I promptly photographed them before the went up with the decorations.

December, when the cupboard in the attic opens again, the boxes come out and oooh: the re-discovery of favourite baubles…

Have a happy day and thank you for viewing, M, (*_*)

HISTOIRE de ROSES... by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Lightly Salmon Pink.

The rose is the most popular flower of all.

No other plant has had such a rich and romantic heritage as the rose, and no other flower has been interpreted in nearly as many ways as the rose.

The most common emotion associated with the rose is affection and love.

Hope you have a day full of love and thank you for visiting and commenting, Magda, (*_*)

THE RED POPPY... by magda indigo

VARIATIONS on a THEME!

Icelandic Poppies. LOVE the papery texture!

Papaver nudicaule or Iceland Poppy, with large, papery, bowl-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers supported by hairy, one foot, curved stems among feathery blue-green foliage 1-6 inches long.

They were first described by botanists in 1759.

Cultivars come in shades of yellow, red, orange, salmon, rose, pink, cream and white as well as bi-coloured varieties.

All parts of this plant are poisonous, containing (like all poppies) toxic alkaloids: ALWAYS wash you hands thoroughly after handling ANY flowers/plants!

Because of wars, they became a sad symbol of what, as a child, I saw as a happy flower.

I grew up in Flanders in the shadow of the poppies, remembrance of the wars never far away.

Everywhere you go, there are graveyards, Belgian, English, American, Canadian, Polish, South-African, Australian and German...

As a child, it is just part of the countryside, pretty, neat rows of stones and flowers.

Then, the age of awareness comes, you want to know and understand.

The adults would rather not talk about it, their gaze becoming distant and full of sorrow and hidden, unspoken suffering ...

Most of them gone now too, and still I try to understand.

Thank you, M, (*_*)

Hope they brighten your days too.

INTERLACED, ANTHURIUMS... by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Paul offered me these beauties.

I really get annoyed when people use the worn cliché, that a man only gives flowers if he has done something 'wrong', if he needs forgiving! I'm sick and tired of it, plus I find it most unfair to men. Many give flowers just to say, I care, I love you, thank you...

Anthuriums are a fun flower and never fail to provoke a smile.

They look almost unreal! The flowers are thick, shiny, ribbed and wrinkled, while the leaves are large and glossy, which makes them so much more difficult to photograph well!

They belong to the Araceae family, which also includes callas and philodendrons.

Their genus name, Anthurium, comes from the Greek words anthos meaning "flower," and oura, meaning "tail."

Anthurium can also be called "Flamingo Flower" or "Boy Flower", both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix.

Thank you for your comments and time, M, (*_*)

A WINTER'S DALE... by magda indigo

#AbFav_DECEMBER

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

The Brueghels are back.

A typical Yorkshire Dales' view, with old gnarled trees, the sheep and the ever ongoing dry-stone walls drawing dark dividing lines through the land.

The light was golden, the air crisp and clear, I love Winter.

It reminds me of the paintings of the Brueghel's.

Since it was taken with 400 asa film, I reduced the grain for once, however the main reason was to get that 'paint' effect that the famous Flemish painter's family BRUEGHEL and others put in their paintings.

This was how I saw it, a bright sky and some mystery in the trees, the cold wind gently blurring my tear-filled eyes.

This image is an artistic interpretation.

Have a great day and thank you, M, (*_*)

APOTHEOSE… TEXTURE and COLOURS by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Plants are rapturing me with their stunning colours, sadly not for long this time, the strong winds play havoc, tear the leaves off the branches, throw them in the air, a few saltos and twirls and then down on the wet ground... nature...

It is easy , in Autumn, to look past the weather, as we are being treated with a beautiful festival of colours.

Selective dof.

I wish you all a wonderful day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

I see beauty in everything.

This red rose instead of losing its petals, had just dried up, it retained the glory... in my eyes... to yours?

The dried DARK Roses.

We live in uncertain times, MUST care for each other, do what is right: Please give PEACE a chance?

For ALL our sakes?

Please, invite more of your friends to join in and plant flowers in our beautiful garden for PEACE?

I created a group on FB, NO, not a 'FLOWER'-group... so sad about all the terrible news constantly...

PLEASE, join, invite your friends to 'PLANT' their most beautiful flowers in this garden... for PEACE.

Thank you and have a peaceful day, M, (*_*)
