Lots of promising buds.
I was given them by a company who wanted photographs, and they now keep flowering and re-flowering!
Orchids are truly flowers of superlatives.
No plant family has as many different flowers as the orchid family.
Orchids are among the most highly prized of ornamental plants.
In Mexico the flowers are used symbolically by the natives; each one conveys a sentiment associated with different ceremonies or religious figures.
From the time that orchids were first imported from the Bahamas to Britain (in the early 18th cent.) these flowers have been cultivated for their commercial value and have been successfully hybridised and variegated.
Hawaii has become a major centre for commercial orchid culture.
A species of the Vanilla genus of tropical America is important economically as the source of natural vanilla flavouring.
Have a sweet day and thank you for viewing, Magda (*_*)

#DoodlewashJune2025: Cascade
Did you know that red foxes, including the Cascade red fox of Washington State, have 3 main color.phases: red, silver/black and cross? The Red phase can be almost any orange to a few that are actually red; silver black, as you might imagine, ranges from a mixture of black with white tips, possibly some brown to the rare solid black; cross is a mix of red and black with a dark stripe running down the back, and another stripe over the shoulder creating a cross shape.
I’m posting this a day early since I’ll be out with friends most of the day tomorrow.

CN L580 crosses a dirt road on the outskirts of Caledonia. The 2098 was still a fairly new visitor to the area at the time, and even in a downpour there were several of us out chasing their train down to Hagersville.

Without Iain, I was not expecting to be photographing waterfalls! However, I spotted this pretty little cascade on the Allt Druin Nan Torr driving back towards Inchnadamph and couldn't resist.
Throwback Thursday
Autumn Cascade
Horseshoe Falls
Munising, Michigan
The beauty of Horseshoe Falls goes beyond its visual appeal; the area also holds a sense of timelessness and wonder. As you walk along the shaded paths leading to the falls, you can sense the deep connection between the land and its history, with Native American legends adding to its mystique. The fresh scent of pine in the air makes this a truly immersive experience in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where nature’s beauty is at its most serene and inviting.

The waterfall in Jaun
Opposite the centre of the village with its wooden houses, at certain times of the year up to 6000 litres of water per second, gushing from the rock face, flow down into the River Jogne.
This spot, between the waterfall and the old church, hosts an exceptional level of positive energy.
Some 15 kilometers to the South-West of the village of Jaun, in the area of the Gros-Mont valley, there is another valley cutting across it which is flanked by the highest mountains of the Fribourg Préalpes: the “les Morteys” valley.
The stream running through this high valley has its source on the side of the Vanil Noir, at 1,920 metres above sea level, then it flows on for about three kilometres through this wild scenery, losing water on its way, before disappearing altogether. In 1928, it was decided to put some colour on this stream. To everyone’s surprise, eleven days after this was done, the coloured water reappeared in the Jaun waterfall!
Up to 6,000 litres per second spurt from the rock in the month of June. To get a feeling of the force of the place, stand at the fence in front of the waterfall and breathe in slowly and deeply the liquid, christallised “light”. The waterfall has a very high positive energy content (13,500 Bovis units).

Cascade de Jaun
Située en face du centre du village et ses maisons en bois, la cascade déverse à certaines périodes de l’année jusqu’à 6000 litres d’eau à la seconde dans la Jogne.
Cet endroit, entre la cascade et l’ancienne église, offre une teneur exceptionnelle en énergie positive.
Quelque 15 kilomètres au sud-ouest du village de Jaun, dans la région de la vallée du Gros-Mont, se trouve une vallée transversale, encadrée par les plus hautes Préalpes fribourgeoises; la vallée "Les Morteys".
Le ruisseau de cette haute vallée prend la source sur le flanc du Vanil Noir à une altitude de 1920 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer, puis s’écoule environ trois kilomètres à travers ce paysage sauvage et perd continuellement de l’eau avant de disparaître totalement. En 1928, on a procédé à la coloration de cette eau de source. A la grande surprise, onze jours après la coloration, l’eau colorée a fait son apparition dans la cascade de Jaun!
Jusqu’à 6000 litres à la seconde se jettent du rocher au mois de juin. Pour se rendre compte de la force du lieu, placez-vous à la clôture devant la cascade et aspirez profondément et lentement la « lumière » liquide et cristallisée. La cascade offre une teneur exceptionnelle en énergie positive (13'500 unités Bovis).

Elles se trouve dans un site protégé et pour les atteindre il faut emprunter un sentier assez escarpé. C'est une belle balade de 3 km à faire...
The So Duc Falls Nature Trail crosses this cascading small stream on its way up to Sol Duc Falls in Olympic National Park, Washington. This photo taken from the bridge that crosses the creek on a rainy, early April evening.
I wish you all a great weekend!

A beautiful location today at the wishing well. Would have loved to stay a bit longer but the rolling thunder in the distance sounded like it was getting nearer - time to pack up again but will be back again soon. Love this place

Et si le secret ne tenait peut-être qu’à cette conjonction de lumière, de couleur, de mousse, d’eau, de ces cortèges mystérieux et de fumet des bois, le Secret de ces instants enchâssé dans le miroir des saisons.
The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam. Cascade Locks is just upstream from the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River.

A view of the snow-dusted peak of Cascade Mountain from the eastern end of Lake Johnson. The mountain takes its name from a long cascade streaming down its southern side which, although interesting, is not nearly as photogenic as these aspens in their fall colors.
