If you want to see the progress of my 'Connection-tesselations', click here for the album, where you can see my other tessellations, all based on my "Butterfly-molecule", that underlies these tessellations.
Before the sun shone directly on the water in the morning and outshone it, I "played" a bit with exposure times and details.
The water has such a high falling speed that 1/8 to 1/10 exposure time is sufficient to make it soft and yet with a certain movement.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Today's theme is Australian wildflowers. First, details from a Bottlebrush tree or Callistemon citrinus. This is an evergreen shrub named for the spikes of the flowers that grow at the end of the branches, with a close resemblance to a bottle brush.
As a native Australian plant, the bottlebrush prefers warm temperatures. The bottlebrush tree will fill your garden with a delicious lemony citrus smell while filling your garden with vibrant red-coloured flowers. Birds, butterflies and other insects will flock to your yard to drink the sweet nectar from their flowers.

Leyenda sobre la fundación de Teruel
Según una leyenda, para fundar la nueva ciudad los sabios y las gentes principales de la villa se reunieron y buscaron diversas señales y presagios, encontrando favorable el que un toro mugiera desde un alto y que sobre el toro brillara una estrella. De este encuentro toma, según algunos autores, su nombre la ciudad, ya que provendría de juntar en una palabra el vocablo «toro» y el nombre de la estrella, «Actuel», formando de este modo la palabra «Toroel», y después «Toruel».
Otra de las leyendas más extendidas sobre el origen del nombre de la ciudad explica que, en tiempos lejanos, la ubicación de las villas se realizaba sirviéndose de un animal salvaje: se perseguía a éste y en el lugar en que se le abatía se erigía un santuario. Alrededor de este altar se construía el pueblo.
Los aldeanos que habitaban en la zona salieron en busca de un toro salvaje que recorría los alrededores. Una noche, el animal se detuvo bajo una estrella y comenzó a bramar. Los adalides tomaron como buenas las señales que el Cielo y la Tierra les presentaban, y construyeron allí la villa. Tomaron del toro tres letras, TOR, y de la estrella, llamada Actuel, otras tres, UEL. Estas seis letras juntas dieron el nombre a la villa: TORUEL.
El lugar donde el toro y la estrella se detuvieron es ahora la plaza "del torico".

Legend about the foundation of Teruel
According to a legend, to found the new city, the wise men and the main people of the town met and looked for various signs and omens, finding it favorable that a bull would bellow from a height and that a star would shine on the bull. From this meeting, according to some authors, the city takes its name, since it would come from combining in one word the word "bull" and the name of the star, "Actuel", thus forming the word "Toroel", and then "Toruel".
Another of the most widespread legends about the origin of the name of the city explains that, in distant times, the location of the towns was carried out using a wild animal: it was chased and in the place where it was shot down, a sanctuary. Around this altar the town was built.
The villagers who lived in the area went out in search of a wild bull that was roaming the surroundings. One night the animal stopped under a star and began to bellow. The champions took as good the signs that Heaven and Earth presented to them, and built the town there. They took from the bull three letters, TOR, and from the star, called Actuel, another three, UEL. These six letters together gave the name to the town: TORUEL.
The place where the bull and the star stopped is now the plaza "del torico".
