Actually these are very likely weeds rather than gems. However, their bright violet color and plentiful numbers made an interesting foreground to a distant farm and forest.
Actually an impounded vessel as it was used for people smuggling,I believe the boats captain is a guest of the PNG govt behind bars
I actually took this shot 4 years ago. Going through my archives I looked at it again and decided I kind of liked how the tree frames the bridge on one side and the boathouse on the other.
Processed in Photomatix & Photoshop.
C&C appreciated.
It's actually the real colour, something must have been extracted from the soil to colorize the ice. A few was red and others yellow at this mountain side.

I thought I had more focus than I actually did here, unfortunately when I rectified that it’s head was hidden so I went with this one.
Great thanks to Julie for finding it for me for without her I would never spot something like this :^)
Actually this is on a table,
Not mine this is done by Hudson River Inlay, they use many fine wood veneers with veneer stones Mother of pearl and many other shells.
Actually Grasmere Lake (NT) in 'The Lake District National Park' in Cumbria, UK - 'The Daffodil Hotel' in the distance.
I actually put this picture together back in January but I never uploaded it. I think at the time I was having a confidence problem because I looked at it today and I think it is a lovely image.

Trimmed & tagged and coming soon to a Christmas Tree lot near you!
When I was a teenager I actually had a summer job trimming Christmas trees. Sounds wholesome & quaint right? Being outside with nature and smelling the wonderful aroma of pine trees. It was the most miserable job ever! It was hot & humid and the bugs were horrible. Not to mention all the pine needle pokes up and down my sunburned forearms. Talk about an odd job!
Ah, the memories of childhood.
Actually taken at the Ringling Museum and Bayside Gardens in Sarasota, FL, but thought it went well with the Texas series.
Have a Happy Weekend!
I actually took this photo back in the fall before this nosy little hooligan went into hibernation for the winter, but starting yesterday I started seeing (and smelling!) signs of his awakening... Spring (and Skunk) is in the air!

Actually if you look closely there are 5, counting the 2 lifeboats by the cruise ship. There is a tour excursion boat in the foreground, a tender lifeboat on the right, and the Royal Princess. If you take a good look at the Royal Princess you will see that a movie is being shown on the big screen on the pool deck.
Actually, this Egret was merely preening when Mike caught a head-on shot. The water reflections on its forehead add to the sense of hot-headedness😊
Geschüttelt. Nicht gerührt.

Actually one should translate the catchphrase in German like this: Erschüttert, nicht gerührt ... which makes a completely different sense ;-)
I found the following a little interesting:
No other drink in book and film history is as famous as Bond's Vodka Martini. The agent licensed to kill has a very precise idea of how to mix this cocktail. The saying "Shaken, not stirred" is one of the most famous movie catchphrases of all time. Bond reaches for the glass on various occasions and in changing company. He drinks his vodka martini ice-cold, but without ice. So ice is put in the shaker, the vodka martini is shaken and finally the ice is filtered off. The name of the drink also causes further confusion: Martini is a very well-known vermouth brand, but Bond drinks his vodka martini entirely without this wine-containing ingredient. And James Bond wouldn't be James Bond if he didn't have an ace up his sleeve: Biochemists from the University of Western Ontario have found that the shaken variant with wormwood is healthier. In addition to the additional oxygen, it also contains more antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals.
- - - Well then ... cheers ;-)
I think my two virtual living room lights are having fun. And the mood goes with a drink, right?

Eigentlich müsste man das Zitat im Deutschen so übersetzen: Erschüttert, nicht gerührt ... was einen ganz anderen Sinn ergibt ;-)
Ich fand folgendes ganz interessant:
Kein anderer Drink der Buch- und Film-Geschichte ist so bekannt wie Bonds Wodka Martini. Der Agent mit der Lizenz zum Töten hat eine ganz genaue Vorstellung davon, wie dieser Cocktail zu mixen ist. Der Spruch "Geschüttelt, nicht gerührt" ist eines der berühmtesten Filmzitate aller Zeiten. Bond greift zu den verschiedensten Anlässen und in wechselnder Gesellschaft zum Glas. Er trinkt seinen Wodka Martini eisgekühlt, aber ohne Eis. In den Shaker wird also Eis getan, der Wodka Martini wird geschüttelt und schließlich das Eis abgefiltert. Der Name des Getränks sorgt zudem für weitere Verwirrung: Martini ist zwar eine sehr bekannte Wermut-Marke, dennoch trinkt Bond seinen Wodka Martini ganz ohne diese weinhaltige Zutat. Und James Bond wäre nicht James Bond, wenn er nicht noch ein Ass im Ärmel hätte: Biochemiker der Universität Western Ontario haben festgestellt, dass die geschüttelte Variante mit Wermut gesünder ist. Sie enthält neben dem zusätzlichen Sauerstoff auch mehr Antioxidantien, die den Körper vor freien Radikalen schützt.
- - - Na denn ... Prost ;-)
Meine beiden virtuellen Wohnzimmerleuchten haben Spaß, glaube ich. Und die Stimmung passt zu einem Drink, oder?

maybe the beginning of a series:
We actually had some sunshine today. It is dark by 5:00 pm--I keep reminding myself that my summers are full of 20 days with loads of light. Sometimes that helps me get through the winter.
P.S. If you follow my blog I have posted the 7 questions--check it out and see who the photographer is this week. Fun sTuff.
Greeblemonkey's Photo Contest
Theme: Gratitude
What the heck does this picture have to do with gratitude? Good light. I am grateful for light. =)
Actually a great model: Living and working in one house. Both are spatially separated and there is a separate front door for every purpose..
Actually their mouths are open as they are panting as they wait for a delivery of food.
By the way, the flowering plant they are poking up through and it all over this area is elderberry, good for wine making.
Actually took this photo late Spring last year when the Hovea was in full flower. You can find this lovely plant in forests or open woodland in the south west corner of Western Australia. There is a rare white flowering form too.The seed is a hard pea that requires some stratification before germination.
I actually got my real camera out yesterday to take Mack's photo. I took this photo first and saw that it was over exposed and so changed the exposure settings and took several more. Once I uploaded the photos to my desktop computer, I realized I liked Mack's eyes in this photo. In all the other photos, his fur was exposed correctly but his eyes were too dark to see much detail because he was backlit. So over exposed it is.
Happy Caturday: Brand new
I've long wanted to see a Ring Ouzel. I'd seen one pop up on a rock on the clifftop path on this particular evening. However, ineptitude meant it'd gone before I managed to get a shot. Chatting later to a couple about them, this little beauty popped up behind me! Lovely experience.
I actually saw a few more this week on the Western Peaks of the Lake District. Like buses these Ouzels.
Actually it is the reflection, in late afternoon, of a pendant lamp on the window's glass... The impression of a blurred image on either size of the lamp is actually a deformation by the glass. This can be verified by closer look, as the lines that form the skeleton run all around the paper lamp drawing the real size of it!
- En plein air ou ...
En fait, c’est le reflet, en fin d’après-midi, d’une lampe à suspension sur la vitre de la fenêtre ... L’impression d’une image floue sur l’un ou l’autre coté de la lampe est en réalité une déformation par la vitre. Cela peut être vérifié en regardant de plus près, car les lignes qui forment le squelette tout autour de la lampe en papier en dessinent la taille réelle!
Though this photo is posted and "taken" after I joined this site, this photo is actually from my old Flickr account I started back in January of 2011, a year before I made this account. I never posted anything on that stream except for this photo. I only made that account to enter in this contest. Five and a half years later and I found myself looking through my old photos and noticed that I had posted this already but I don't think anyone saw it or even remembers it.
I've come along way since my labeled figured and CustomLegoMinifigures rip off figures.
Winter has shown us its less beautiful side in the last few days. It's actually cloudy, dreary and gray out there all day long. Probably at night too, but we are spared this sight because of the regular darkness.
Now it's time for me to change the seasons once again to at least spread a little light and color here.
And so we go back to a beautiful November evening in the beautiful Elbe Sandstone Mountains (on the outskirts of Lohmen) in a beautiful beech forest (someone might say I have a problem with superlatives) and enjoy the sun as it casts stripes of light and shadow on the forest floor.
By the way, the area directly in front of us spontaneously reminded me of a road, which led to the title of this picture.
Der Winter zeigt sich uns in den letzten Tagen von seiner weniger schönen Seite. Es ist eigentlich den ganzen Tag lang trüb, trist und grau da draußen. Nachts wahrscheinllich auch, doch da bleibt uns dieser Anblick auf Grund der regelmäßig einsetzenden Dunkelheit erspart.
Da wird es jetzt Zeit für mich einmal mehr die Jahreszeiten zu wechseln um wenigstens hier ein bisschen Licht und Farbe zu verbreiten.
Und so gehen wir noch einmal zurück zu einem wunderschönen Novemberabend im wunderschönen Elbsandsteingebirge (am Stadtrand von Lohmen) in einen wunderschönen Buchenwald (da soll mal einer sagen ich hätte ein Problem mit Superlativen) und genießen die Sonne, wie sie den Waldboden in Streifen aus Licht und Schatten teilt.
Der direkt vor uns liegende Bereich hat mich übrigens spontan an eine Strasse erinnert, was dann zum Titel dieses Bildes geführt hat.

Update: this is actually not a geyser, but a pool at the Black Sand Basin.
From the website: www.yellowstonenationalpark.com/blacksand.htm
Temperature 180°F Dimensions 145x191 feet. Depth 23.5 feet. Sunset Lake is a shallow thermal pool with a soft sinter bottom and yellow and orange bacteria and algae edges. The pool discharges into Iron Creek, and overflows into Rainbow Pool creating a large microbial mat between the two thermal features. The 1959 earthquake triggered an eruption of Sunset Lake and the surge of hot water killed the bacteria and algae in the run-off channels. It has erupted only occasionally since 1959; during eruption it surges three feet high but may reach eight to ten feet. No known underground connection exists between Rainbow Pool or other Black Sand Basin thermal features.
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
...actually appearing to look more like a river than a creek. For the most part, it is easily and practically twice as wide and deeper than Forney Creek in the western Great Smoky Mountains. This is a rare view from a side trail off the Big Snowbird Trail, as most of the length of the trail sits high on the ridgelines above the creek. Today I hiked 9.75 miles out and back in the Snowbird Mountains of the Nantahala Forest in North Carolina, my favorite of all the Appalachian Forests, and it was a great mental reset. The Big Snowbird Trail lies south of Lake Santeetlah and the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.
Actually empties en route to Ketton headed by 66 716, passing The Slips at Wellingborough.

This is not the first time I take photos of this ring (actually two rings that mingle into one). It reminds me of one of my first journeys with my husband. We travelled through Ireland, and one of the places we visited was Kilkenny, where I immediately fell in love with this ring when I saw it in the shop window of a local goldsmith.
It has been a Keepsake since then, always reminding me of this beautiful country (one of my favourite vacation destinies over the centuries :) and the beginning of our wonderful travels to so many beautiful places on this earth. 💖💖💖
One of my attempts for the Macro Monday theme 'Keepsake'
Didgeridoo by the camp fire. Actually it's not a campfire, it is an orange flash, a blue flash and 139 image stack. This is the mouthpiece end (I hope it is anyway). This is just a cheap Didgeridoo and actually looks like it is made from bamboo. A good one would be made from a length of Eucalyptus that had been hollowed out by termites. They are I believe, meant for peace and healing... so the world needs lots of Didgeridoos right now.
I should point out that I didn't buy this one. For reasons that escape me, the previous owners of the house left it screwed to one of the roof trusses in the garage, some years ago. So when I saw the theme ... it was time to unscroo the didgeridoo.
