"it's not that we're scared,
it's just that it's delicate." - Damien Rice.
Psych exam today.
Now I have the rest of the day off and I'm watching Gilmore Girls.
Good times.
This is a flower on my little prunus shrub. I don't know the variety as it was in the garden before I came here. It has hardly grown in the years I've been here and I keep expecting it to have died but each spring it produces these delicate pale pink blossoms.
Just cropped this a little and converted from raw
early 19th century
The Chantilly-type lace has a beautiful floral and openwork design. It was worn by Charlotte Drayton Manigault (1781-1855), the daughter of Charles Drayton and Hester Middleton. She married Joseph Manigault on May 27, 1800, and lived on Maiden Lane until the house in Wraggborough was built in 1803. Designed by Joseph’s brother, Gabriel, the house (now The Joseph Manigault House at 350 Meeting Street) belongs to this museum and is open to the public. Charlotte probably wore this shawl while she was living with her family there.
Gift of Ethel Drayton Mowry (Charlotte’s great-granddaughter) in 1952
one of the last in the few shots I took in the garden with my new macro lens of this white butterfly on the forget-me-nots. Very brave for me this,!! ( phobia of fluttering things )

жизнь в её неутомимом круговороте
Сад Снежной Королевы
Виктория Дорошенко
Тишина и покой. Бесконечность…
Слепит снег и искрится хрусталь :
В лёд закована намертво вечность,
Никого никому здесь не жаль…
Скользкий шаг в этом мире безмолвном ,
Песня воющей вьюги вдали –
В сказке зимней всё замерло, словно,
Нет живого на крае земли.
И тому удивительней – розы!
Пробираясь сквозь корочку льда,
Как ожившие девичьи грёзы,
Будто им не страшны холода…
Аромат перёплелся с морозом,
Лепестки незаметно дрожат.
Пудрой снежной слегка припорошен,
Ну откуда здесь розовый сад?
Тянут веточки к солнцу и свету -
Колдовской, не иначе, привет -
Зимней дЕвице хочется лета
И цветов ароматных букет.
Ну и что, что она – Королева
Бело-синего царствия льда,
А в душе где-то спрятана Ева,
И тоска по любви иногда…

in honour of my grandma a breast cancer survivor

October is breast cancer awareness month. Flickr has a group called Passionately Pink for the Cure where Yahoo! is donating $1 for each pink picture that is submitted, to the Susan G. Komen for the cure foundation, up to a total of $50,000. So, if you have pink pictures submit them to that pool.
In a by-gone era, a great war took place where giant robots fought for control of the future's past. Here, legs and waist of a giant robot stand frozen in time.These are but a few remnants from the war. Through-out the park, many of these relic's may be seen if you possess the imagination!
Taken by rotating my tripod 90 degrees to the left of the previous shot in my photostream - Delicate Arch is a circus at sunset. Which is perhaps a little surprising given the rather strenous climb in the afternoon sun to reach the plateau on which it is located. Most people were well behaved, but there must be serious accidents here on a regular basis since just to the right of this shot is a 20 metre vertical drop onto rock. Not a survivable fall, yet people with tripods were hopping around like Mountain Goats after a course in self-confidence.
Dainty mushrooms have been appearing overnight in my lawn. They live for only a few hours before shriveling in 95 degree Georgia heat. Today's crop was a single, delicate volunteer, with cap about the size of a quarter. August, Fortson.
Highlight of our Southwest geology tour, the sunset at Delicate Arch is worth the wait.
The fact that you will be joined by a crowd turns the arch into a kind of natural shrine. A truly centering and uplifting experience.
Southwest Road Trip!
Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Utah
We went on an early morning hike up to delicate Arch, it was nice seeing it with not too many people. It was a beautiful hike a great place to relax for awhile.
This delicate rose, seems to have semi- double flowers that change color as they open, from golden-yellow , then move to yellow on the outside and yellow then mingles with a crimson on the inside, when in full bloom...
An unusual flower that I have that comes every year, the leaves are similar to a geranium and pale in colour, but then now, July, it shoots out these long flowers which are white and pink tinged on the egdes, if anyone knows what it is....?

in my garden - West Yorks, UK
Delicate Arch, in Arches National Park, Utah. Taken a couple of hours before sunset - the sun was quite low.
Taken in 2011 with a Canon EOS 30D with Canon 10-22mm lens.

Delicate Arch is formed of Entrada Sandstone. The original sandstone fin was gradually worn away by weathering and erosion, eventually leaving the arch.
I don't believe this !!!!!

The native English Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta). It is much more delicate than the introduced, robust, Spanish Bluebell. It is also much bluer.
