Like little rays of sunshine.
The colors remind me of a fruit salad. I wonder what tangerine, persimmon and jicama would taste like together.
Pair it with a new blue superfood and discover new worlds...

Der Delicate Arch im Arches National Park ist wahrscheinlich nicht nur der berühmteste Natursteinbogen der USA, sondern wohl auch der meist fotografierteste. Insbesondere zum Sonnenuntergang, wo sich die Farbe minütlich ändert. Auf einer Höhe von 1.471 Meter hat man auch einen sehr schönen Blick auf die La Sal Mountains, die in vielen Monaten des Jahres schneebedeckt sind.
The Delicate Arch in Arches National Park is probably not only the most famous natural stone arch in the USA, but also the most photographed. Especially at sunset, when the colour changes by the minute. At an altitude of 4.829 ft., you also have a very beautiful view of the La Sal Mountains, which are covered in snow during many months of the year.
Se le conoce con los nombres comunes de achicoria amarga o taraxacón, esta planta debe su nombre más frecuente al término proveniente del francés antiguo dent de lion, que literalmente significa "diente de león", en referencia a la forma afilada de sus ho

...En tu abrazo yo abrazo lo que existe,
la arena, el tiempo, el árbol de la lluvia,
y todo vive para que yo viva:
sin ir tan lejos puedo verlo todo:
veo en tu vida todo lo viviente.
Con un color intenso entre amarillo y naranja cuando está madura, la uchuva (en inglés Golden Berry o Physalis) es una de las frutas exóticas apreciadas por su olor agradable y su sabor entre dulce y ácido. Este fruto (de unos 2 cm de diámetro) es cultivado durante todo el año en Colombia, lo que favorece su disponibilidad para las exportaciones.

Cada rosa gentil ayer nacida, cada aurora que apunta entre sonrojos, dejan mi alma en el éxtasis sumida… ¡Nunca se cansan de mirar mis ojos el perpetuo milagro de la vida! Años ha que contemplo las estrellas en las diáfanas noches españolas y las encuentro cada vez mas bellas. Años ha que en el mar, conmigo a solas, de las olas escucho las querellas, y aun me pasma el prodigio de las olas! Cada vez hallo la Naturaleza más sobrenatural, más pura y santa, Para mí, en rededor, todo es belleza; y con la misma plenitud me encanta la boca de la madre cuando reza que la boca del niño cuando canta. Quiero ser inmortal, con sed intensa, porque es maravilloso el panorama con que nos brinda la creación inmensa; porque cada lucero me reclama, diciéndome, al brillar: «Aquí se piensa, también aquí se lucha, aquí se ama».

Церковь Покрова на Нерли внесена в Список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.
Когда пишут и говорят об этом храме, обычно приводят слова Игоря Грабаря: «Церковь Покрова на Нерли близ Владимира является не только самым совершенным храмом, созданным на Руси, но и одним из величайших памятников мирового искусства».
Храм был возведен за один год в 1165 году князем Андреем Боголюбским.
Во времена своей «молодости» храм выглядел иначе, а холм-пьедестал, является делом рук человеческих.
Подземная часть храма составляет 5,30 м . В устье Нерли вырос искусственный холм, ставший пьедесталом для церкви Покрова и предохраняющий ее от коварных весенних вод. Холм был покрыт панцирем из белокаменных плит с водосточными желобами и лестницами, сбегающими к пристани.
Пропорции храма необыкновенно изящны и красивы. Часто этот храм сравнивают с образом красной девицы Здесь все направлено на достижение эффекта максимальной стройности и высоты. Множество деталей, еле уловимых, очень деликатных, подчеркивают вертикальную ось сооружения.
The Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, a UNESCO world heritage site.
When you write and say about this temple, usually cite the words of Igor Grabar, "the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl near Vladimir is not only the most perfect temple, created in Russia, but also one of the greatest monuments of world art".
The temple was erected in one year in 1165 by Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky.
In the days of his "youth" the temple looked different, and the hill-a pedestal, is the work of human hands.
The underground part of the temple is 5,30 m . At the mouth of the Nerl rose artificial hill, which has become the pedestal for the Church of the Intercession and protect it from the treacherous waters of the spring. The hill was covered with a shell of white stone slabs with gutters and stairs leading down to the Marina.
The proportions of the temple are unusually graceful and beautiful. Often this temple is compared with the image of maiden Here everything is directed on achieving maximal effect of slenderness and height. Many parts, subtle, very delicate, emphasize the vertical axis of the construction.

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I spotted some multi-coloured poppies. Much to my delight, a hoverfly came to visit! Actually, there were tons of hoverflies buzzing around, so I guess they like poppies as much as I do!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a fantastic day!

Part of getting through life is accepting, and dealing with, our weaknesses. Which doesn't mean they aren't still a pain in the butt.
Me, I'm over-sensitive to all kinds of sensory input - and input affecting my sensors. For instance, even in August in our constant ocean breezes, I daren't go outside without my ears covered.
This is, of course, a huuuge pain. When everyone else is out in shorts and bathing suits, I'm sweating with a big fleecy band around my head. It sucks, but the alternative (excruciating ear aches) sucks a whole lot worse.
I'm also overly sensitive to noise. And bright light. Especially bright flashing light that hits my eyes unexpectedly. So... imagine how much fun I am as a companion at a rawk show. Normally I take along ear plugs. Last night I forgot.
I guess I was lulled into complacency by the fact that the show was at a theatre. A play house. A place I last attended in my teens, when I saw some Shakespearean production there. So yeah... I went in plugless. And immediately regretted it. Still... I was up for enjoying myself... until the %$(*&$%(&ing light show started.
I can't imagine whose idea it was to flash big spotlights directly into the audience's eyes repeatedly throughout the night. Probably the same wise person who decided a super-bright sign behind the band... illuminated by 10,000 1,000 watt bulbs... was also a very good thing to flash repeatedly in the audience's eyes.
What really amazed me was that no one else seemed bothered. Whereas I was in several sorts of agony all night.
The bright flashing lights. Fuck, man. I thought I was gonna have a seizure or something. I ended up spending most of the night doubled over with my head in my lap, eyes closed, hands clamped over my face. Every time I tried to enjoy actually watching the band... zappo! Unexpected blasts of super-bright white light set off pinball explosions in my brain.
So today is pretty much a write-off. Migraine city, man.
And I HATE HATE HATE that my body is so delicate.
I'm from sturdy peasant stock. Why am I so fragile? Why do things that normal people take in stride disable me?
Sorry for the whining self-pity. Kee-rist. At least I know, without a doubt, that I am now too old for rawk shows. Goodbye youth. Your time has come and gone. From now on I'll just satisfy myself by listening to records at home.

Hi everyone,
This was taken in early summer when the astrantias were just beginning to bloom. I cropped it this way because I wanted to include the single strand of a spider's web.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have an enjoyable day!
