The Kingsbury grade road cuts through the mountain as the sun begins to rise over the valley below. A soft pink glow can be see on the many lakes and ponds below while the last star in the sky shines as bright as it can before the pending sunlight.
Unfortuntly with the winds we have been having, alot of trees that have fallen down. This was one and they had cut the limbs into smaller pieces.
Emerald Cut is the moniker given to a portion of Rock Springs Run between the head spring area present in the popular Kelly Park and the paddling launch of King's Landing, some mile and a half downstream. As one might imagine given the name, this one features a cut of colorful water, traveling through a course with a tropical canopy. The view from this shallow and narrow run is one of the finest glimpses of Florida jungle I've been able to witness, and that's a part of the Florida landscape that I hold so dear but haven't captured to the best of my abilities until today. If I were to pick out a handful of shots to show someone what the "real Florida" is like, I would certainly have to include one of Emerald Cut.
From the high point of the escarpment , looking backwards to where I just came from,
The great circuit walk at the Quiraing on the Isle of Skye.
The walk is magical, because each part of it is unique.

Weather was ever changing. Sometimes sun would come out giving opportunity for a better photos.
The Quiraing is the largest landslide in Britain, but it is not a torrential rain-induced landslides. It’s part of something much larger in size.
The weight of all volcanic rock, formed 50million years ago, slowly took its toll on the weaker Jurassic sedimentary rock below, which fractured and broke under the strain, and volcanic rock have been slipped down the hillside; this process is still going.

I'm seeing so many great bird photos posted by Flickr friends, I thought I'd add my one (and only) worthy bird shot. Taken at the Butterfly House on Mackinac Island in October.
A cut out I made with drawing paper then photographed against a window. whimsicallymade.blogspot.com/
AAW January 27 - February 3: In the Style of Chema Madoz
WIT: I like his visual puns, Here's one that is inspired by one of his photos. I used rice for the eyes, and dried up lemon zest for the eyebrows, and pine nuts for the nose. I get cut-eye from my students sometimes when I tell them they are not practicing enough, lol!
Made Explore, haha!
Navy Flake, Navy cut, Navy tobacco was at one time Virginia tobaccos, as Burley did not exist until later in tobacco history. In colonial times sailors twisted tobacco into a roll and "tied it tightly, often moistening the leaves with rum, molasses, or spice solutions." Stored in this way the flavors melded. To smoke it a slice was cut, known as a "twist" or "curly". Eventually all twisted tobacco, and then pressed tobacco, became known as "Navy" "because of the convenience for sailors and outdoorsmen who favored its compact size "and long-lasting, slow-burning qualities."[1] Navy Flake tobacco is pressed into bricks and sliced into broad flakes.

Navy Flake, taille Navy, le tabac Navy était autrefois le tabac de Virginie, Burley n’existant plus que dans l’histoire du tabac. À l'époque coloniale, les marins tordaient le tabac en rouleau et le "nouaient étroitement, en humidifiant souvent les feuilles avec du rhum, de la mélasse ou des solutions d'épices". De cette manière, les saveurs se sont mélangées. Pour fumer une tranche a été coupée, connue sous le nom de "twist" ou "bouclé". Finalement, tous les tabacs tordus, puis pressés, devinrent "Marine" en raison de leur commodité pour les marins et les amateurs de plein air qui préféraient sa taille compacte "et ses qualités de longue durée de combustion lente". [1] Le tabac Navy Flake est pressé en briques et coupées en larges flocons [2].
