The Evzones (Greek: Εύζωνες), is the name of several historical elite light infantry and mountain units of the Greek Army.
Today, it refers to the members of the Presidential Guard, an elite ceremonial unit that guards the Greek Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Presidential Mansion and the gate of Evzones camp in Athens. The Evzones are also known, colloquially, as Tsoliades.
The Beautiful Changes
BY RICHARD WILBUR
One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The Queen Anne’s Lace lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.
The beautiful changes as a forest is changed
By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it;
As a mantis, arranged
On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.
Your hands hold roses always in a way that says
They are not only yours; the beautiful changes
In such kind ways,
Wishing ever to sunder
Things and things’ selves for a second finding, to lose
For a moment all that it touches back to wonder.
I'm adding this picture of the Amber Fort in Jaipur as World Elephant Day is tomorrow. It was my next stop after Ranthambore Park as well. This trip encompassed so many varied destinations. It was a difficult, but an outstanding itinerary.
There are demonstrations occurring in the city as the day grows near. I will let you read the article.

I first saw elephants in Asia where they are used as working beats of burden. It seemed so common place I gave the practice little thought until I went to Africa and saw the gentle giants in the wild. My thoughts changed and it is nice to see that the Indian people are demanding change
I could not resist posting another image of the Nankeen Kestrel (Falco cenchroides) because of the different canvas I was able to capture the bird flying along the beach.

My first job is to say thank you to those who voted for me.
Those who didn't, I'm going to get your vote next time.

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss? HELL NO !

I can change my origami-tessellations literally, by folding but also with PS ;-))
Just experimenting and having fun. Hope you like this snows-face ;-))
The much photographed Blackrock cottage in Rannoch Moor with Buachaille Etive Mor in the background , but sometimes varying light and weather conditions can make a scene look slightly different.
As seasons change we see too the brilliance isn’t quite what we’ve witnessed in months past. Nevertheless it doesn’t takeaway the beauty or our appreciation for these Roses. Enjoy you garden daily until the frost strikes. It’s all worth it. Thanks for viewing my work. Gratitude and Kindness will remain long after the gardens have been turned.
Time is the process of creation, and things of space are results of creation. When looking at space we see the products of creation; when intuiting time we hear the process of creation. Things of space exhibit a deceptive independence. They show off a veneer of limited permanence. Things created conceal the Creator. It is the dimension of time wherein man meets God, wherein man becomes aware that every instant is an act of creation, a Beginning, opening up new roads for ultimate realizations. Time is the presence of God in the world of space, and it is within time that we are able to sense the unity of all beings.

The panorama of Ilyinskoe village from the bridge of Belaya Kholunitsa river. I haven't been here for a long time. Now I see some new buildings on the high river bank, but the church remains abandoned. Changing weather of this June complements the scene well.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.

Going out for a drive today and tomorrow.
But I can certainly look at your amazing pictures later this evening.
Have a nice day my dear Flickr friends.
Photo my own,

With all the misinformation about THE virus becoming more exposed by the day, I thought a report on fungus might be refreshing. This definitely points to five turkey tail specimens thriving on this tree....though "models" suggest that thousands upon thousands of spores await the opportunity to attack.
Perhaps we should cut down the forest?
