Pretty much every natural beach in Alaska looks like this. In it's on way this beach is as beautiful as a sandy beach.

As these two were doing at Bryce Canyon National Park.

 

Every year, Bryce Canyon National Park awes visitors with spectacular geological formations and brilliant colors. The towering hoodoos, narrow fins, and natural bridges seem to deny all reason or explanation, leaving hikers gazing around with jaws agape in wondrous incredulity. This surreal landscape is what brings people from around the world to visit Bryce Canyon National Park.

 

How are those Hoodoos and fins formed? It starts with rainwater seeping into cracks in the rock. The water freezes during Bryce’s cold nights, expands and breaks apart the rock. The deep, narrow walls called “fins” result from rain and snowmelt running down the slopes from Bryce’s rim. Eventually the fins form holes (called windows), and when the windows grow larger they collapse and create the bizarre hoodoos that we see today.

... at Little Town

 

"Ideals [and dreams] are like stars,

you will not succeed in touching them with your hands,

but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters,

you choose them as your guide,

and following them, you reach your destiny."

- Carl Schurz

In the first day that I was in the fields (a Sunday), there were many cars and many people there as you may saw in the previous photos.

Most of them were photographing the flowers, other up the hill having lunch, buying artcraft products, observing the destroyed city or searching for the better viewing angle to see the wonderful mosaic of colors - a splendid gift from nature with human intervention.

I realized that people were having so much fun there, each one in his own way, but the most popular game was certainly collecting memories.

 

I know a million people have

taken a picture of this bike but it's just so pretty I couldn't resist.

" The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them."

This picture of my granddaughter was taken back in 2014. I first processed it shortly after it was taken and have redone it a couple of times as my processing skills have improved. Other artists have used the image to paint an oil painting and a watercolor painting. Since the last time I worked with this image my Photoshop skills have improved significantly, thanks to several online course, and I have also added a few tools to my tool box. In the past year I have been focusing on learning texturing, knowledge which I applied generously to this image.

Thank you all for your views, faves, and comments.

What to do when you have a lot of hay bales to collect up .. pile them up as high as they will go, put a few more on, then drive off, of course! A scene witnessed while relaxing on the balcony having lunch.

Busy life..

A scene repeated throughout the Kenyan countryside. Outside of tourism the key industry in Kenya seemed to be agriculture which was labour intensive and virtually devoid of mechanisation.

Signalman comes onto the track to collect the token , knowing that the single track from Ramsbottom to Rawtenstall is now free for the train waiting in the station to proceed up the line in safety ..

Macro Mondays theme is "sewing notions." I had to laugh because I cannot thread a needle and the only thing I have ever sewn was a simple shift in 6th grade Home Economics class and that was a mandatory assignment. To make matters worse, we had to wear our dress to class upon completion. My shift was so poorly made I had to wear a sweater over it because the armholes were way too little. That was in Houston, Texas and the temps that day were almost triple digits. So....above I displayed a simple button I have been wanting to sew on a blouse and it has been put on the back burner for at least half a year. Just can't do it! I would much rather bake a cake any day!

For Cecil......and all the others.

Le musée de l'École de Nancy est consacré au courant artistique de l'Art nouveau nancéien. Aménagé dans l'ancienne propriété d'Eugène Corbin, grand mécène du mouvement, il a été officiellement ouvert au public, sous sa forme actuelle en 1964.

Les collections exposées sont formées de salles aménagées dans le style Art nouveau (chambre, salle de bains, bureau, salle à manger), de vitrines, consacrées notamment aux œuvres d'Émile Gallé ou de la manufacture Daum, et de dessins d'Henri Bergé. Parmi les artistes exposés, on peut aussi citer Victor Prouvé, Eugène Vallin, Louis Majorelle et Jacques Gruber.

Did you know, huimmingbirds collect spider webs and use them to make nests. They use spider webs to glue there nest together. I have seen them use lichen and and other small pieces of material with the spider web to bind them together and there nest is only about the size of a walnut as you can see in the image I shot below.

As if, the sunlight was trapped in between the petals of this pink flowers. No flash, no lighting support, purely sunlight...
