one favor to ask of commenters: please avoid bulky group icons or awards if you are not going to leave a real comment. the feedback is the only reason i have pictures up on flickr, and mass-generated "love your picture" group badges are not what i'm looking for. thank you for understanding!
to real commenters : i appreciate you. you are the reason i am here. thank you :)

THE GREAT GREENHOUSE
Rising from the earth
Space like vision of beauty
Treasure of plantlife
By Henrhyde
The Great Glasshouse
This spectacular dome is the largest single span glasshouse in the world, designed by Norman Foster Poised on the Welsh landscape like a giant raindrop, it protects and conserves some of the most endangered plants on the planet.
These plants come from six areas of the world: California, Australia, the Canary Islands, Chile, South Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Great Glasshouse is zoned to reflect this. Each of these geographical areas has regions that enjoy a Mediterranean climate. Hot dry summers, cool moist winters, dazzling sunlight, strong breezes and the occasional ground-clearing fire create perfect conditions for many plants to thrive on the scrubby, rock-strewn landscapes. In fact, it’s so perfect that most of these plants grow nowhere else on Earth. Although these regions cover less than 2% of the Earth’s surface, they contain more than 20% of all known flowering plant species, and the plant diversity are considered second only in importance to tropical habitats. Due to human activity, these habitats are now threatened as the rainforests, and our Great Glasshouse is dedicated to conserving their endangered plants.
At first glance, it is not obvious that the plants come from six different places in the world. This is because they share many qualities, such as small leathery evergreen leaves and dense shrubby forms . As you explore, you will find yourself travelling across continents and countries within a few steps. The imaginative flowing landscape on which these plants thrive, covers 3,500 square metres. Its rocky terraces, sandstone cliffs and gravelled scree slopes, are contoured to reflect the natural environment and to create a wide range of habitats. Balancing light and shade and varying moisture levels to suit the needs of different plants.
A magical visit—not to be missed.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Superb Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus cyaneus
Description: Adult male Superb Fairy-wrens are among the most brightly coloured of the species, especially during the breeding season. They have rich blue and black plumage above and on the throat. The belly is grey-white and the bill is black. Females and young birds are mostly brown above with a dull red-orange area around the eye and a brown bill. Females have a pale greenish gloss, absent in young birds, on the otherwise brown tail. The legs are brown in both sexes. Males from further inland and in the south-west of the range have more blue on the back and underparts.
Similar species: Several other species of fairy-wren are found in Australia. The males of each species are quite distinct, but the females and young birds are often difficult to separate. Of the species that overlap in range with the Superb Fairy-wren, the female White-winged Fairy-wren Malurus leucopterus and Red-backed Fairy-wren M. melanocephalus lacks the chestnut colour around the eye, while the female Variegated Fairy-wren M. lamberti has a dull grey-blue wash. Both the Superb and White-winged Fairy-wrens are similar in size. The Variegated Fairy-wren is slightly larger in size and has a longer tail.
Distribution: Superb Fairy-wrens are found south of the Tropic of Capricorn through eastern Australia and Tasmania to the south-eastern corner of South Australia.
Habitat: Seen in most habitat types where suitable dense cover and low shrubs occur. They are common in urban parks and gardens, and can be seen in small social groups. These groups normally consist of one dominant male and several females and young birds.
Feeding: Superb Fairy-wrens feed on insects and other small arthropods. These are caught mostly on the ground, but may also be taken from low bushes. Feeding takes place in small social groups.
Breeding: The nest is a dome-shaped structure of grasses and other fine material. It is usually placed in a low bush and is constructed by the female. The female incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes feed the young. Other members of the group will also help with the feeding of the young.
Male Superb Fairy-wrens have been labelled as 'the least faithful birds in the world'. Females may be courted by up to 13 males in half an hour, and 76% of young are sired by males from outside the social group.
Calls: The Superb Fairy-wren gives a series of high pitched trills, which are given by both sexes. The male often extends these trills into song.
Minimum Size: 13cm
Maximum Size: 14cm
Average size: 14cm
Average weight: 10g
Clutch Size: Three to four.

It was a hot evening so I went with a very light animal print dress.
I’m making a set of figures for Daredevil Season 3 (which will feature lots of resin prints), and Matt Murdock here is part of that showcase. Should I use red or black for his glasses?

It is the possibilities that excites me about photography.
Regardless of the subject matter, the possibility to discover something creative or unique inspires me to no end.
I believe that regardless of the subject matter, landscape, people or other studies
the creative potentials are the same.
It is very exciting to live the moment discovering the possibilities.

Here is yet another image from the spectacular sunset I was fortunate enough to experience here in Weed, CA. I took this a few minutes before my previous upload when the sky reached its final burst of color before dissipating into the night. If you look to the right side of the image, you can see where my previous upload came from as the band of light grew stronger and stronger.
Thank you ALL for your support/comments/faves this week!! I greatly appreciate them! Hope you all have a great weekend and happy Friday!

Friendship - you're all that matters to me (Shine).
Without my friends, I am nothing. Without them, all of this is for nothing. I treasure my friendships. And Gemma - well, she is my soulmate.
Gemma made this beautiful video of our weekend and put it to one of my favourite songs - Shine by Take That. I am in floods of happy tears every single time I watch this.

Concours Event - San Marino, CA June 1973. The slide had unfortunately begun to break down before I scanned it. Be careful with your slides! Keep them cool and dry and clean or they'll be junk in no time.
Back to the car: The 246 is one of the sweetest Ferrari's of all time. Very nice driver. Despite being 'only' a 2.4L V6 it gets down the road with impressive speed (it only weighs 2400 lbs) and its handling is superb.

Yeehaw! :)
+1 in the comments (in which I followed this tutorial that went c-r-a-z-y with textures to make it look vintag-y, and I am normally not so fond of textures but I am very fond of the vintag-y, but I just don't know if I like it or not. What say you? )

Por fin, el otoño llegó a Texas, Yeehaw! :)
(Yeehaw no se traduce verdad? jaja)
+1 en los comentarios (que la edité siguiendo un tutorial en el que se usan un chorro de texturas para hacerlo ver vintage pero a mi las texturas no me gustan mucho, pero si me gusta el look vintage asi que no se si me gusta o no la foto. Ustedes que dicen?)
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
Into November's photos now, and I was quite pleased with this set. No exciting occasion to dress up for this time though, just a night in at home.
Raw ingredients plus a finished montage of photos. :-)
my sister said it looked like something from alice in wonderland-hence the title-enjoy!
--yes her tongue always sticks out like that ;)
Comments are always welcome and favs most appreciated.

COMMENT IF YOU FAVE
This is an easy fig. I decided to make this after that season 3 clip came out. I do love this suit and the idea of the darkwear.
The face has the painted mouth thing. The eyes has some blue for the pupils since his eye things.
The torso arms and legs are all painted. The escrima sticks are the new harry potter wand pieces.
Easy. Simple done have a nice day.
PLEASE, no multi invitations or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR.
In 2010, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) reestablished the historic Sydney Front Range Light. After replacing the Rear Tower with a metal structure in 2009, it was found the front tower was in bad shape with rotten wood. To maintain the heritage characteristic, DFO built a replica of the 1905 structure. The old iron lantern has been refurbished and installed on the new lighthouse, it continues as an active aid to navigation. The replica tower was built using modern long lasting materials.
Even though this light house was just rebuilt it is on the "Table of Active Lighthouses Declared Surplus" by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada - now that is what I call great planning by the government., build and the next day get rid of it!
