Pretty much every natural beach in Alaska looks like this. In it's on way this beach is as beautiful as a sandy beach.
... at Little Town
"Ideals [and dreams] are like stars,
you will not succeed in touching them with your hands,
but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters,
you choose them as your guide,
and following them, you reach your destiny."
- Carl Schurz
(Cica Ghost's installation "Little Town" (with little additions)/ Region: "Taboo Rock")
In the first day that I was in the fields (a Sunday), there were many cars and many people there as you may saw in the previous photos.
Most of them were photographing the flowers, other up the hill having lunch, buying artcraft products, observing the destroyed city or searching for the better viewing angle to see the wonderful mosaic of colors - a splendid gift from nature with human intervention.
I realized that people were having so much fun there, each one in his own way, but the most popular game was certainly collecting memories.
I know a million people have
taken a picture of this bike but it's just so pretty I couldn't resist.

" The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them."

Walking into the forest near my house, I was amazed to see thousands of these gorgeous Trilliums in full bloom. Picking parts off of a trillium plant can kill it even if the rhizome is left undisturbed. Because they are so delicate, Trilliums are a very rare plant. Some species of trillium are listed as threatened or endangered and collecting these species may be illegal. Luckily, they enjoy the climate of the Pacific Northwest!

What to do when you have a lot of hay bales to collect up .. pile them up as high as they will go, put a few more on, then drive off, of course! A scene witnessed while relaxing on the balcony having lunch.
Signalman comes onto the track to collect the token , knowing that the single track from Ramsbottom to Rawtenstall is now free for the train waiting in the station to proceed up the line in safety ..
A scene repeated throughout the Kenyan countryside. Outside of tourism the key industry in Kenya seemed to be agriculture which was labour intensive and virtually devoid of mechanisation.
... there’s probably one in here. 68, High Street, Hastings.
6’8d - six shillings and eightpence - was a third of the old pre decimal British pound. Twelve pennies in a shilling. Twenty shillings in a pound. It was all rather complicated but there were certain tricks to make multiplication and addition easier, which I’ve now forgotten. If we were to go back to that system, and nothing would surprise me now, a lot of people would have difficulty with it - there would have to be an app.
I remember 6’8d once being the price of a “single” vinyl record.
Macro Mondays theme is "sewing notions." I had to laugh because I cannot thread a needle and the only thing I have ever sewn was a simple shift in 6th grade Home Economics class and that was a mandatory assignment. To make matters worse, we had to wear our dress to class upon completion. My shift was so poorly made I had to wear a sweater over it because the armholes were way too little. That was in Houston, Texas and the temps that day were almost triple digits. So....above I displayed a simple button I have been wanting to sew on a blouse and it has been put on the back burner for at least half a year. Just can't do it! I would much rather bake a cake any day!
Did you know, huimmingbirds collect spider webs and use them to make nests. They use spider webs to glue there nest together. I have seen them use lichen and and other small pieces of material with the spider web to bind them together and there nest is only about the size of a walnut as you can see in the image I shot below.
