In April -May, the ground is covered by a carpet of Wood Anemo throughout southern Sweden. If you want to walk in the woods and not even tramp on the beautiful flowers, it is difficult to put your feet down. They are allowed to pick and put in vase.
This image is a speial one for my friend Mary.

I drove across Beverley Westwood yesterday an ancient area of pasture land on the edge of Beverley, were cattle still graze unfenced. In all my years of crossing the Westwood I have never seen it so carpeted in buttercups. I had time to stop and take a quick grab shot as you can see the sky was heavy with clouds a few minutes after taking the shot it was pouring with rain
Apart from a crop it is SOOC with no filters

a red-billed oxpecker (buphagus erythrorhynchus) on the best possible carpet for a photo,a burchell'szebra.
oxpeckers are very specialized birds,largest part of their food is found on the big mammals.they eat mostly ticks so these birds are very useful for the big animals.the oxpecker body is perfectly adapted to climb on the mammals and the bill works like a comb to catch also ticks larvae from the long hairs...i love to see these birds working and they are amazing "models" for some shots.

After spending time investigating Roberts Creek, I drove along the coastal road and found the Roberts Creek Provincial Park. This entire area attracts a good deal of tourism in the summer so this time of year finds those same places somewhat empty of people. Except for one other person, this place was mine to play in.
After many angles, and numerous shots, this is the image that was in my mind. The sweeping stone stairs on a hill had drawn my attention, with the carpet of Autumn leaves laying undisturbed. Their vivid colors were in stark contrast to the grey stairs, while the fence and green foliage would support them in the background. I wanted to exaggerate the stairs and how they swept across the view so getting close with a wide angle lens was necessary. It was a fun afternoon with the time needed to find what lay behind the camera.
The sunlight was casting the shadow of a tree on a carpet of ‘Dokudami’ in full bloom. Houttuynia cordata (‘Dokudami’ in Japanese) is a common ground-covering weed native to eastern Asia. It is also known as one of the most popular medical herbs in Japan.

With Miracle our Dutch rescue kitty is a carved wooden cat statue that my DD thought would make a neat door holder/door jam.
And this is a two part “tranquil”. The first is obviously a sleeping cat and the second was the blissful zoned-out time I spent cloning out cat hairs on the carpet while I post processed. I find that cloning is a peaceful pursuit.

Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The tall structure in the background is Ghanta Ghar, also known as the clock tower of Rajasthan.
Surrounding the tower is Sadar Market where many locals and tourists sell, buy and hang out to people watch.
Kind of like a tightrope walker, this tiny gray bug was moving along the top of an unfolding hibiscus petal. It turned out to be a little beetle, apparently a "variegated carpet beetle." I don't know about the garden, but apparently we really don't want them to get into the house...

Garn Boduan is an Iron Age hillfort and hill near Nefyn, on the Llŷn Peninsula in Wales. In a survey in the 1950s the traces of over 170 round houses were identified on this site, and around 100 round houses are still visible on the ground. Between 100 and 400 people may have lived in this fort.

Every 2 years the Grand-Place (Grote markt, central square) in Brussels is covered with a flower carpet of begonias (this year 80% Dahlias) during 3 or 4 days.
The carpet of 70 m x 24 m is composed by about 120 volunteers, with nearly 1 million flowers in less than 4 hours.
This year, 2024, the event was from Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 August at the Grand-Place in Brussels.

Its mission was to cross the outdoor carpet before anything ate him. His problem ? It was very chilly out and he was moving in slow motion! I had time to go back in the house, walk to the other end of the house and still get lots of snaps of it! It eventually did make it to safety I'm happy to say! Happy Sabbath everyone! I hope your day is blessed and full of lots of photo ops. :)
