A Walk Through a Blossoming Flower Field 🌷🌻🌸🌼
Taking time to travel alone can be a valuable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, reflect, and clarify the happiness that you truly deserve.
When you are alone, you are free to do exactly what you want to do. It can help you to bloom your wisdom and gain a deeper appreciation for the happiness that you truly desire, as an investment in yourself and your long-lasting joy.

. . . The Pursuit of Happiness . . .
Achieving a happy life involves striking a balance between receiving and denying.
It is essential to understand this balance and the factors that contribute to our unhappiness.
Unhappiness can stem from two sources:
1. Not obtaining what we desire
2. Obtaining what we do not desire
This realization teaches us that to maintain happiness in our lives, we must possess the 'courage' to pursue what we desire while also having the 'courage' to reject what we do not truly desire.
We should not endure unhappiness in favor of others' happiness. It is crucial to learn when to confidently say Yes and when to assertively say No.
Fear of saying No and being overly accommodating can lead to an unsatisfying life, whereas saying Yes and pursuing our desires can bring us closer to happiness.
Living a life as a kind girl or a nice guy, but constantly being unhappy due to the fear of rejection and loneliness, is not worth it. You should remember that no matter how nice you are or how afraid you are of haters, even the 'best' people have people who hate them.
You have to choose whether people will hate you for being a happy you or for them to hate you for pretending to be nice while being unhappy.
The true measure of a life well-lived is not in the duration of our journey, but in the abundance of joy we gather with each step we take.

The Cathedral of Seville is built on the old aljama mosque of the city, this shows the power that one culture exercises over another when it is conquered. This fact makes its plan different, facing Mecca and not Jerusalem, that is, facing south instead of east. It should be clarified that Mecca is oriented at 10o from Seville and not at 86o as the old mosque is oriented, this is due to the fact that in Al-Andalus the mosques had to be oriented towards the south quadrant and not towards the east, as the Christian churches did. When the Cathedral Chapter commissioned the design of the Gothic Cathedral, it stated verbatim that it wanted a Cathedral that everyone who saw it would take for crazy. For this, 5 naves were created that covered the 116 by 76 meter rectangle occupied by the Almohad mosque, this results, unlike what was usual in the great European Gothic Cathedrals, a hall plan with a Latin cross marked in height and in width by the central naves and the transept. This hall plan also results in the absence of an ambulatory at the head, which ends in a straight line like the wall of the old mosque. Later the Royal Chapel would be added, which is a Renaissance apse, but it does not really correspond to the Gothic company. In the naves of the Gospel and the Epistle, which are the lateral naves, there are many chapels. The 60 pillars support 68 ogive vaults, highlighting those of the transept and central nave with their star shapes. Instead of placing a clerestory, a continuous balcony was chosen along the main nave in order to be able to wander around the temple without being seen. Located in the central nave, in order from the feet, are the Retrochoir, the Choir, with two organs, the Transept, the Main Altar, the Back of Altar and the Royal Chapel.
The set of winter images from the Peak District continues. I was looking for simple compositions, lines and the obligatory focal point. I could have done with a better sky to be honest.
Today's photo was taken this morning at the Coventry Transport Museum. The view is a close up Macro style shot of the Rolls-Royce Avon engine that powered the record breaking Trust 2. Designed by John Akroyd and Driven by Richard Noble the car went on to break the Land Speed record at 633.468 mph on 4th October 1983. Thrust 2 held the Land Speed record until 15th October 1997 when it was surpassed by Thrust SSC which was designed in part by Richard Noble and Driven by Squadron Leader Andy Green.
The photo was taken using the app Camera Awesome on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped the image and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I then used the selective edit feature to boost the Brightness, Contrast and Saturation of the engine turbine. I also used the Lens Blur feature to help highlight the engine and blur out the background. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset and a medium Dark Vignette. I then added the Stacked frame.

I realized I copy and pasted the description earlier and it said "large format"... just to clarify, that was a mistake-- this is digital!
To clarify, it's not in HDR.
3D Cross view- To view, sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.

This one has been waiting in the wings for a few days.
To clarify about my leg, I won't be running any marathons for a while yet, it still gets quite sore after walking or even standing for a short time and going down stairs is agony but with time I will get there :-)
The European spindle or Euonymus europaeus is native of much of Europe, its berries are poisonous and its wood is very hard and can be sharpened to a sharp point, it was used in the past for making spindles.
The image today was taken early this evening in the middle of the City Centre of Coventry. The view is of part of the Fun Fair at the edge of the Christmas Market that is being held on the Broadgate pedestrian plaza.
The photo was taken using the app Camera+ on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped and Straightened the image and applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Ambiance and Warmth. I also decreased the Highlights and Shadows. I finished by applying the Gamour Glow 05 preset. Next I used the app PicsArt to apply the Oil Painting preset. Finally I used the app PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Vibrant FX and an Large Dark Vignette. I then applied the Stucco texture and the Shadow II frame.
Old and new EMUs in a neat April 1978 scene in the Illinois Central Electric Yard that was east of Indiana Ave along the mainline, between roughly 122nd and 124th St. Metra's KYD facility is located there now, Thanks to Bob Laich for helping clarify the location of this shot.

Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.
Blaise Pascal.
Blaise Pascal (19 June 1623 – 19 August 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defence of the scientific method.
In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines. After three years of effort and 50 prototypes, he built 20 finished machines (called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines) over the following 10 years, establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator.
Pascal was an important mathematician, helping create two major new areas of research: he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following Galileo Galilei and Torricelli, in 1647, he rebutted Aristotle's followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. Pascal's results caused many disputes before being accepted.

Revelation 21:20 Exodus 28:19
At one point Amethyst was on a par with Rubies and Emerald,
until Amethyst was found in abundance in Brazil.
Its still my favorite precious stone. There is a whole study on this, in the scripture there are 21 precious stones mentioned, and Amethyst is among them, no wonder...!!!
Isaiah 54:11-12
“O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
Everything God made is good, a study in the scripture concerning precious stones clarifies their purpose and use.
Just like the heavens, and signs in the heavens are meant to be prophetic and confirm the word, Genesis 1:14 Not intended for private interpretation. Likewise precious stones are not for our use without the guidance of scripture, everything God made should lead us back to His word.
Did you know that Quartz is used in watches LCD screens, cameras radio frequencies and many other electronic devices.
When Quartz is pressed it produces an electrical current, and when Quartz is given an electric current it presses itself. When two pieces of Quartz are rubbed together they produce light on the surface and within the quartz itself, unlike friction-a phenomenon that is still not fully understood by science.
Quartz has 3 qualities;
Pyroelectric
Piezoelectric
Triboluminescence
The image for today was taken this evening in the Cathedral Quarter of Coventry City Centre. The view is looking down the narrow cobblestone lane called Hill Top. This is situated just off Priory Row near to Holy Trinity Church and the Song School of the New Cathedral of St Michael.
The photo was taken using the app ExposerGL on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped and Straightened the image and applied both the Tonal Contrast and HDR Scape filters. I finally added a little extra Structure to the picture. Next I used the app Mextures to apply the formula called Evening Glass by Justin Halbert. I then used the app Stackables to apply the formula called Old Barn. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Vibrant FX and a Medium Dark Vignette. I then applied the Dirty texture and the Leather frame.
A view of downtown, taking from a moving car (no, I was not driving, just to clarify that). Hence the odd size, after cropping out moving cars, etc.
This is a perspective you can get by being there, but it's hard to see in photos (for obvious reasons). Pittsburgh has a beautiful downtown, though some areas are certainly more scenic than others.
Today's image was taken late this afternoon inside the London Road Cemetery in Coventry. It is a view of the Grade II* Listed Anglican Chapel. This time the view of the Chapel is looking down towards it the from the top of the hill. The Chapel was built in the Mid 19th Century. It is one of two Grade II* Listed Chapels in the Cemetery.
The photo was taken using the app Cortex Camera on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I applied the Tonal Contrast preset and decreased the highlights to bring out more detail in the clouds. I then used the selective edit feature to boost the Brightness, Contrast and Saturation of the Chapel. Next I used the app Brushstroke to apply the Oil Paint 04 preset. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset and a small Dark Vignette. I then added the Canvas texture and the Leather frame.

Macro of a peony....so much beauty in nature...
The peony is a flowering plant in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America. Scientists differ on the number of species that can be distinguished ranging from 25 to 40, although the current consensus is 33 known species. The relationships between the species also need to be further clarified.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.25–1 metre (0.82–3.28 ft) tall, but some are woody shrubs 0.25–3.5 metres (0.82–11.48 ft) tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves and large, often fragrant flowers, in colors ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.
The image today was taken this afternoon at the Baddesley Clinton National Trust estate in Warwickshire. The view is of the Baddesley Clinton moated Manor House. This Grade I listed building dates back to the 15th Century. Although I was told by a guide that a small part of the building actually dates back to the 13th Century when part of the local forest was cleared to make way for farmland. The manor was originally bought by John Brome in 1438. He passed the manor onto his Son Nicholas who is said to have killed the local Parish priest on the estate. Nicholas Brome was responsible for major rebuilding of the local parish church of St Michael as penance for the murder. After the death of Nicholas the property passed to his daughter who was married to Sir Edward Ferrers who was the High Sheriff of Warwickshire. The Manor House and estates remained in the Ferrers family for the over 500 years. The Manor House and estate was sold to the National Trust in 1980. It is still managed and operated by the Trust.
The photo was taken using the app KitCam on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Lightroom mobile to edit the picture. I straightened the image then I added the Dynamic Colour preset. I also changed the white balance and applied some of the Dehaze feature along with a little Clarity. Next I used the app Mextures to apply the formula called Windansea by Justin Halbert. Finally I used the app PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Drama FX and an Medium Dark Vignette. I then applied the Old Paper texture and the Shadow II frame.
The image for today was taken in Upper Spon Street in Coventry. It is a view of the Ruins of the Chapel of Saints James & Christopher. Not much is really known about the Chapel. It is thought that it dates from the 15th Century. It was made of Sandstone and was probably a craft Chapel for the local weavers. The Ruins are classed as Grade II listed.
The photo was taken using the app ExposerGL on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped the image and applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then applied the 05 Vintage filter. I finally used the Healing feature to delete the edge of the new building that could be seen on the left side of the image. Next I used the app Stackables to apply the formula called Sienna. I then used the app DistressedFX to add the Stirred overlay and the Lade texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Stark FX and a Small Dark Vignette. I then applied the Old Paper texture and the Charcoal frame.
In spite of my best rationing efforts, I used over 40L of water during the 4½ days that our building had no running water.
I should clarify that the water supply has been reconnected.

I would like to clarify that he is not dead but it rolled in pollen.;-)
Just to clarify, I was not in New York last night, I just couldn't find a better image to super-impose the eclipse on, so here you go.. my version of this rare occasion! :)
Under Nottingham Castle.
Never actually went through the tunnel. People seem to like this image but I have had to 'clarify' it to get more out of it. Also it's one of the colour ones altered to b/w as I do sometimes.

"Cathedral to the Moon:" Cathedral Rock in Sedona appears to be reaching towards the moon during a recent evening. In this age of AI, I should clarify that this is a single, non-composite image that required research, planning, and a bit of scrambling to capture.
There's a few things I better clarify.....
firstly this is not snow - It's my attempt at infrared, using the photo editing software, GIMP :)
and secondly, the moon belongs to a texture by talented and creative lady Lenabem-Anna www.flickr.com/photos/lenabem-anna/8094917840/in/photostr...
This shot was taken in October from a bridge near Tandragee, Co. Armagh.
We've had dreadful storms here in Northern Ireland over the last couple of days, very heavy winds, rain and tonight thunder and lightning. I've lost half a fence... well, I can't say lost, because I can still see it, it's just not where it used to be!!!!
thanks to all those who were concerned for my safety :)
Thank you also for your visits, comments and faves on my previous uploads, I appreciate and read every message :)
Enjoy your weekend everyone :)

Butter lamps are to be found in all Tibetan Buddhist temples and monasteries throughout the Himalayas. The lamps traditionally burn clarified yak butter, but now often use vegetable oil or vegetable ghee. Each morning Tibetan Buddhists offer butter lamps to represent the illumination of wisdom, along with seven offering bowls (See About Offering Bowls) containing pure water (or symbolic offerings of washing water, drinking water, flowers, scent, perfumed water, food, and sound) before the images on their household shrine. The butter lamp is usually placed between the fourth and fifth bowls. At funeral ceremonies or when visiting temples and going on pilgrimage to sacred sites, Tibetan Buddhists often light a large number of butter lamps together at one time.
In a world of vibrant hues, a tale unfolds,
Of 99 red balloons, their story yet untold.
Beneath a sky so vast, they soared on high,
But their meaning, dear friend, let me clarify.
At first, they danced with grace, a joyful sight,
Innocent and carefree, floating in the sunlight.
Each balloon carried dreams, hopes, and desires,
A symbol of the human spirit, rising higher.
But as they ventured far, across the land,
A sense of unease emerged, like shifting sand.
For those red balloons held more than meets the eye,
Their significance, a warning, amidst the sky.
They represented the fragility of peace,
In a world where tensions and conflicts never cease.
Each balloon a nation, an ideology to embrace,
Bound together in a fragile cosmic space.
Like whispers in the wind, they stirred unrest,
Igniting fears and doubts within each chest.
Anxiety spread, and paranoia took its hold,
As the sight of those red balloons grew bold.
Misinterpretation fueled the flames of war,
As hearts turned cold, love weakened at the core.
The sky, once a canvas of dreams and hope,
Became a battleground, where divisions would lope.
Yet, through the chaos, a lesson lies,
In those 99 red balloons that reached the skies.
A call to humanity, to pause and reflect,
On the consequences of actions, before we select.
For in our hands, the power lies to shape,
A world where understanding can escape.
Let us learn from the balloons' poignant tale,
To embrace compassion and harmony, without fail.
So, when you see those red balloons on high,
Remember their meaning, as they paint the sky.
A reminder to cherish unity, and let go of strife,
To create a world where love can truly thrive.
“Posh Bear, I am confused.” Said Barney looking to his friend to clarify things.
“Hello confused.” Giggled Bertie. “I thought your name was Barney.”
“It is, Bertie, you know it is. Now I am even more confused.”
“So, tell me Barney what are you confused about and I will try and explain.” Said Posh Bear.
“Well, I asked my friend who is a genius, Sky, and even he didn’t know the answer to my question. He said that just maybe you might.”
“Barney, I did not say that I didn’t know the answer to your question, what I said was that I didn’t know if I knew the answer to your question. I know so many things that the answer could be there somewhere but at that moment in time I couldn’t think if I knew and if so where I had put the answer.”
“I know, Sky, you usually know everything and I am always so grateful to you for sharing your knowledge.” Said Barney.
“That is alright, Barney, it is the very least a genius can do for his friends.” Said Sky smiling.
“Anyway, getting back to the original question, Barney. What is it that confuses you?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Well, as I am sure you are aware it is very cold outside the house, and at times it can be slightly chilly inside the house, especially when the man has gone outside and left the door open or has a window open.”
“Yes, Barney, I am well aware of all that.” Said Posh.
“Well, at dark-time, when it gets extra, extra cold we all snuggle under our blankets and keep toasty warm and have sleeps.”
“Yes, that is right Barney. When it gets dark and the man turns off all the lights there is no point in us staying awake and getting cold.” Confirmed Posh Bear.
“Well, I was wondering why we don’t do that all the time when it is cold outside and wake up when it becomes warmer.”
“That is called habitation.” Said Sky proudly. “I heard all about it from Wellington one day.
“No, it is called hydration, Sky, I am sure that is what it is called. I think.” Said Bertie.
“Maybe Wellington got it wrong then, but he is normally right in what he says.” Said Sky scratching his head with a paw.
“It is neither actually, it is called hibernation, and some real bears do hibernate. We, however are not that type of bear, Barnaby, we don’t sleep all the time it is cold.” Said Posh.
“Why is that, Posh?” Asked Barney.
“There are a few reasons, Barney, the first is that our job is to take care of our hooman friend, big or small, comfort them when needed. They can want us at any time and so we always need to be available for them when they need us most. Hoomans are often lonely or worried, and we are their most trusted friend, the one that they confide in the most. We keep their secrets, they trust us. Some bears are with their hooman all their lives and are needed just as much after lots and lots of sleeps as they were when they were new.”
“I see, that is a good reason, Posh. What are the other reasons?” Asked Barney.
“Well, take Sky for instance, can you imagine Sky being able to go without honey for many sleeps on end and without eating between those sleeps? I can’t. Another reason is the man needs to try and take our picture every week, even if he makes a mess of it every week. Without us being willing subjects, there is no telling what he might try and take a picture of.”
“Talking of which, Posh, here he goes. Time to watch and enjoy him trying to get this one right.”
“It is all so predictable; he really should just accept the inevitable.” Said Posh Bear shaking his head.
The books in the photograph are, Whatever Next by Jill Murphy and Hooray for Winnie-the-Pooh from stories by A. A. Milne.
The relationships between the species need to be further clarified
Hidden almost out of sight, just off the Huron Street bridge in downtown Stratford, Ontario lies the Shakespearean Gardens. This well manicured English garden offers a formal setting with boxwood hedges,stone walkways, benches and gazebo yet comes alive with the brilliant colour of an amazing array of flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees.

Of Plan(e)t Pitting
Plan(e)t Pitting is an only recently discovered planet in our solar system. It's gashed surface with many deep lakes has been formed by heavy volcanic activity of the Apodemus sylvaticus (I assume; the exact origin of the volcanic activity has not been clarified, yet) which, for now, has come to a rest, but for how long, I wonder...
Close-up and extreme crop of what must have been a very yummy leaf. It reminded me of one of those "Earth from Above" (do you know the books by Yann Arthus-Bertrand?), or Earth from space captures, especially after processing (and I have no idea where the blue comes from, but it must have been there; it appeared when I removed the haze in LR), and cropping. It's not sharp all over, unfortunately; taking pictures in the forest yesterday was rather difficult, because it was windy, and halfway through we had to return to "civilisation" in great haste, because a heavy downpour started (we'd just made it to a nearby Café). Couldn't decide between a tiny lichen "trumpet", a lime leaf with nail gall mites on it, and this one. In the end the rather surreal leaf won.
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Die Erde von oben
Oder besser: Plan(e)t Lochfraß
Diese angefutterte Blatt erinnerte mich, insbesondere nach Bearbeitung und Zuschnitt, an eines der "Erde-von-oben"-Fotos von Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Es ist leider nicht überall scharf, weil ich hier nur zwei Foto gemacht hatte, da das Blatt, in Gänze betrachtet, eher staubig (bodennah gewachsen) und nicht unbedingt "MM-würdig" aussah, mich aber die löcherige Struktur dennoch auch faszinierte. Erst bei der Bearbeitung kamen, nachdem ich in LR den Dunst enfernt hatte (was dieses seltsame Blau zur Geltung brachte), die doch sehr interessanten Details zum Vorschein. Es war ein kurzer Waldspaziergang, da das angekündigte Gewitter schon bald und heftig losbrach, immerhin konnten wir uns rechtzeitig in ein nahes Café retten ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Frühsommer-Woche, liebe Leute ;-)
