Nothing new worth posting so I'll put up this other "pose" from last week - didn't care as much for it as it only shows one wing - but I liked the tail flare.
Sant Joan de l'Erm, Alt Urgell, Lleida, España.
Sant Joan de l'Erm o Sant Joan de l'Erm Nou es una ermita y una pista de esquà nórdico en el municipio de Montferrer Castellbó. En 1959 se inauguró un nuevo santuario, en la vertiente que mira hacia Castellbó, a 1.690 m de altura, cerca de la fuente del Bosque, junto a un bosque centenario de pinos y abetos, en sustitución del ruinoso edificio de Sant Joan de l'Erm Vell.
La iglesia es un edificio moderno, obra del arquitecto Isidre Puig Boada, con tejado de doble vertiente, pronunciado, y un campanario triangular en la parte posterior. Unos 300 m detrás de capilla se halla el collado de la Basseta, en una extensa planicie de pinos adaptada para la acampada, con un chalet refugio de 80 plazas, abierto todo el año. En Sant Joan de l'Erm, cuya fiesta patronal son los dÃas 28 y 29 de agosto, se celebra un aplec de sardanas el 24 de junio, dÃa de San Juan.
Desde principios de los setenta se ha instalado en esta zona la pista de esquà nórdico de Sant Joan de l'Erm.​ Situada en medio de bosques de pino rojo, pino negro y abetos de considerable tamaño, las pistas van desde los 1700 m de altitud en el refugio de la Basseta​ hasta los 2.050 m de Prat Montaner, desde donde se puede llegar hasta Port Ainé.
Sant Joan de l'Erm or Sant Joan de l'Erm Nou is a hermitage and a Nordic ski slope in the municipality of Montferrer Castellbó. In 1959 a new sanctuary was inaugurated, on the slope facing Castellbó, at an altitude of 1,690 m, near the Forest spring, next to a hundred-year-old forest of pine and fir trees, replacing the dilapidated building of Sant Joan de l' Erm Vell.
The church is a modern building, designed by the architect Isidre Puig Boada, with a steep, double-pitched roof and a triangular bell tower at the back. Some 300 m behind the chapel is the Collado de la Basseta, in an extensive plain of pine trees adapted for camping, with a refuge chalet for 80 people, open all year round. In Sant Joan de l'Erm, whose patron saint's day is August 28 and 29, a sardana aplec is held on June 24, Saint John's Day.
Since the early 1970s, the Sant Joan de l'Erm Nordic ski slope has been installed in this area. altitude in the Basseta refuge up to 2,050 m in Prat Montaner, from where you can reach Port Ainé.

Cosmos are annuals, grown for their showy flowers. The flowerheads may be bowl– or open cup–shaped and are atop of long stems. Cosmos are easy to grow and make good border or container plants. They make for good decorations in flower arrangements and also attract birds, bees, and butterflies to your garden.
This, as well, is from the archives, which was taken from my favorite rose garden, Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. I love all the layers on this one...so detailed, so pretty! Hope you all enjoy!
