Love em or hate em, turbines are here to stay...most would say great, as long as they are NIMBY (not in my back yard)! You can see my back yard way out in the distance, the furtherest peak.
I trust all my flickr friends are travelling ok.
Our local government has announced our coast will become a part of a dinosaur trail. Our community has over the last month started to progressively add to a driftwood sculpture during it's covid lockdown. I think the dinosaur theme is looking pretty solid. Stay safe everyone
Although I did a tiny bit of "tweaking" in PS, I was really quite surprised to see all the different coloured bokeh I was able to get with this series of spring blossoms.
A thriving group of Common Bonnets (Mycena galericulata) covered a thick fallen tree branch all over. This is a widespread species of fungi belonging to a big Mycena family. The genus name “Mycena” originates from the ancient Greek work” mykes” meaning “fungus”. The scientific epithet “galericulata” comes from the Latin word ‘galer’ which is be translated as ‘helmet’ or ‘hat’. If you compare its small cap with the length of the stem it sits on – it is indeed an elegant ‘fungus with a small hat’. Their appearance also reflected in other names like the ‘helmeted high-stool’, the ‘togue mycena’, and the ‘rosy-gill fairy helmet’. A rosy colour refers to the tint of the gills these fungi could develop when aged. Beechwood fungi. Lansdown near Bath, BANES, Somerset, England UK.

A tranquil morning scene on the streets of Saint Louis, Senegal, where colorful laundry hangs to dry while a sheep stands nearby. The vibrant clotheslines stretching across the rustic buildings add a splash of color to the earthy tones of the surroundings. This charming glimpse into daily life captures the simple yet vibrant lifestyle of the local community.

I spent this past week riding my bike on the "Tour de Nebraska," a 216 mile route through the beautiful sandhill region of north central Nebraska. Minimizing weight meant taking the lightest camera I had, my iphone. We enjoyed the wonderful prairie, oak savannas, and ponderosa pine forests of the region, as well as the Niobrara River valley.
The ride was given the impromptu title "Headwind Tour" as we battled the wind most of the way, despite doing a loop. We also coped with a couple of rainy mornings, but the temperatures were mild compared to the expected norms.
This scene was around 20 miles into the final day's ride, with a rest stop at the Sparks General Store. The morning rain and clouds are clearing out, though the wind was picking up out of the southeast, the direction we were headed.
We always dream of going to exotic places or visiting magnificent national parks to find nature beauties. But sometimes we may find natural beauties just near where we live. I went to a local waterfront at dusk to watch people fishing, and ended up taking this photo.

Some left home so others wouldn't have to
Some helped so others could have home
Some made it back, some didn't
Some left the homeland behind
Some are left behind ... ...

“Castell” (Castle): Human tower built traditionally at some Catalan festivals. The assembly is complete once all “castellers” (i.e., the people forming the human tower) have climbed into their designated places, and the “enxaneta” (usually a child) climbs into place at the top and raises one open hand.
The “Castells” were inscribed in 2010 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
