A woman walking past an eyecatching mural of a neon pink teddy on a shuttered shopfront on Brick Lane.
The use of colour is very reminiscent of the work of David Speed but I've only seen him paint portraits of women. Having just checked his Instagram account it does seem he is occasionally inspired by other subjects but I'm not convinced this has the subtlety of his work.

Update : To answer my own question, I've just realised that the tag on righhand side of the image is actually for the artist LUAP..... www.instagram.com/luap/
A full-frame, eye-level shot of a young lion, Panthera leo, walking through the golden light of the African bush. The low angle captures the animal's focused expression and powerful stance, while the lush green and dry, yellow foliage frame the scene, capturing a moment of quiet movement in its natural habitat in Chobe.

From Wikipedia, "Cartier International SNC, or simply Cartier, is a French high-end luxury goods conglomerate that designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells jewellery, leather goods, and watches. Founded by Louis-François Cartier (1819–1904) in Paris in 1847, the company remained under family control until 1964. The company is headquartered in Paris and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group. Cartier operates more than 200 stores in 125 countries, with three Temples (Historical Maisons) in London, New York, and Paris.
Cartier is regarded as one of the most prestigious jewellery manufacturers. Forbes ranked Cartier on its Most Valuable Brands list as 59th in 2018 and 56th in 2020, with a brand value of $12.2 B and revenue of $6.2 B.
Cartier has a long history of sales to royalty. King Edward VII referred to Cartier as "the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers." For his coronation in 1902, Edward VII ordered 27 tiaras and issued a royal warrant to Cartier in 1904. Similar warrants soon followed from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Russia and the House of Orléans."

StreetArt-Künstler Guido Palmadessa hat auf der Fassade Färberstr. 10 mit Portraits aus unterschiedlichen Lebensphasen der weltberühmten Choreografin Pina Bausch (*27.07.1940 – +30.06.2009) einen eindrucksvollen Eyecatcher geschaffen.
Guido Palmadessa wurde 1988 in Buenos Aires (Argentinien) geboren und lebt seit 2018 in Berlin. Bekannt geworden ist er auch durch die Workshops seines sozialen Projekts „Migrant Dreams“.
It was lying very close to its mother in a rocky Geo - or Gully - next to the Pentland Firth on southern South Ronaldsay's coastline.
Although it looks as if I was rather too close to this seal there was a fair amount of telephoto involved - and also this upload is cropped somewhat from the original.
The Brotherhood of Blackheads is an association of local unmarried male merchants, ship owners, and foreigners that was active in Livonia (present-day Estonia and Latvia) from the mid-14th century till 1940 but still remains active in present-day Hamburg. The Brotherhood of Blackheads was founded as a military organization but the non-military aspects of the association gradually became more pronounced until the Brotherhood became a predominantly social organization after the end of the Great Northern War.
The House of the Brotherhood of Black Heads is the only surviving Renaissance building in Tallinn. A residence probably existed at this location already in the 14th century. The Brotherhood of Black Heads bought the property in the first half of the 16th century, when then also built a new vault-less hall. A major reconstruction took place in 1597, when the façade was redesigned in the spirit of the Renaissance architecture from the Low Countries, with its rich ornamentation and carved decorations. One of Tallinn’s most eye-catching painted doors dates from the 1640s. The Two-nave, arched guildhall bought from the Olav Guild dates from the 15th century.

I spent this past week making myself some jewelry. I am wearing these every day. I like big and bold chunky , with unusual materials, handmade beads, and vintage.
These are made with coral, shell, inlaid bone beads from Tibet; clay and seed beads from India; sand cast, granulated and chevron glass trade beads from Africa; and vintage vulcanized rubber discs and solid copper beads from Africa. I am wearing the world on one arm!
These make me very happy. :-)

Southern Vectis 4638 (934 BDL) a Volvo Olympian, is seen along the Esplanade at Ryde, as it heads off on another 'Downs Breezer' circular.
This September evening view of the Hoy Hills and Graemsay Island was captured from next to the A964 road at Clowally - above Houton Bay.
Incidentally that is just a tiny part of Orkney's huge "Scapa Flow" natural sheltered anchorage.
Antarctica - Quartz and sterling silver ring
This spectacular stone reminds me of Antarctica, sparkling white ice and so gorgeous view.
This ring is BIG and the stone is rough. Perfect for you who like jewelry that are unique and stand out.

This new saltmarsh reserve is a great place to admire the gathered pink-footed geese, wigeons, teals and other wildfowl in winter, along with big flocks of wading birds like golden plovers, lapwings and black-tailed godwits. In spring the marshes are alive with the sight and sound of displaying waders, including avocets and lapwings.
When we bought it in 2006, Hesketh Out Marsh was used for growing crops. The land was taken out of the estuary in 1980 by the creation of an outer wall, but this wall was never going to last for ever.
With the climate changing and the sea level rising, the RSPB and the Environment Agency recognised the need to plan for the future and create stronger sea defences. At the same time, we also need to create new saltmarsh habitat to replace losses elsewhere.
The new reserve does both these things by the process known as 'managed realignment' and is one of the largest of its kind in the UK. We have let the seawater back in to flood some of the land, creating saltmarsh which provides more space for nature. At the same time, the new saltmarsh acts like a sponge, soaking up some of the energy of the sea before it reaches the strong, new sea defences.
By working in partnership with the Environment Agency and with funding from Lancaster City Council, and the Lancashire Rural Recovery Action Plan, the Hesketh Out Marsh project has greatly improved the local sea defences and created 150 hectares of new saltmarsh, creeks and lagoons.
Further funding from Biffa Award and Natural England has enabled us to provide facilities for visitors and for the cows and sheep that graze the marshes as well as funding research into the many changes that are taking place at this exciting new reserve as it returns to the wild.
Avocets and redshanks are among the birds that have already nested on the site and large numbers of lapwings, golden plovers, shelducks, wigeons and teals are expected to use the site in the winter months.
Opening times
From 8 am to 6 pm, or dusk if it's earlier.
Entrance charges
Free, but we'd love it if you made a donation to help us continue our work here.
Information for dog owners
Dogs are only allowed on public footpaths and bridleways. Please keep them on leads.

Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Lapwing
Huge numbers of lapwings gather here in winter. If a bird of prey, such as a peregrine, is in the area, they take to the air in a vast wheeling mass.
Little egret
Little egrets can now be seen here in large numbers right throughout the year. Dispersing juvenile birds lead to a sudden rise in numbers in late summer and autumn.
Peregrine
Keep an eye out for a commotion among birds on the marsh - a peregrine may be making a fly past. They are a regular sight overhead in autumn and winter.
Redshank
Redshanks can be seen all year round and gather in tight-knit groups to roost at high tide.
Shelduck
You can see shelducks - big, black and white ducks - dabbling for food on the mudflats at any time of year.

Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Spring is an atmospheric time at Hesketh Out Marsh. It's when birds like lapwings, avocets and redshanks perform their eyecatching courtship displays, with much flying around and shrieking. Come and watch the birds' antics from our viewing platform. You might also see brown hares 'boxing' - that's when females try to shake off their over-eager suitors.
Summer
This is a wonderful place to watch birds. On a summer visit you could see graceful greenshanks and black-tailed godwits, on their way back south after breeding in the north - maybe Scandinavia, Iceland or Russia. Or look for bright white little egrets fishing in the creeks. Watch carefully and you'll see their technique of scaring the fish out of hiding with their yellow feet, before grabbing them with their long bill. If there's a commotion among the gathered birds, it could mean a marsh harrier's floating along, looking for a meal...
Autumn
The wading birds are joined by ducks and geese from as far afield as central Russia and Siberia. Birds like teals and wigeons come here to escape the sub-zero temperatures in Europe; believe it or not, the UK has a comparatively warm climate! Listen out for high-pitched alarm calls given by the 'sentinel of the marshes' - the redshank. A bird of prey like a merlin or buzzard could be on the prowl.
Winter
Thousands of pink-footed geese gather at Hesketh Out Marsh. These neat, brown geese are smaller than the greylag and Canada geese you see in your local park, and they have an 'oinking' call that sounds amazing when lots of them do it all at once! Hen harriers hunt the marshes for small rodent or bird prey, while yellow-billed whooper swans also arrive on the estuary to feed.

My first azalea bush has bloomed, fashioning her new spring garb...and she's looking lovely ;-)
I have 3 azaleas, all different shades of pink: one a basic pink, one a deep pink fuschia, and this pink/lavender azalea. They're a great choice if you want something on the smaller side with big color....they're very bright and eyecatching.
Have a great Saturday, my friends!
We went on a magnolia walk today - they are looking absolutely stunning in the sunshine. This large quince tree was equally eyecatching though, with masses of clusters of red flowers.
One of my gorgeous Hibiscus blossoms, for you, my flickr friends! To say thanks for all your amazing support, I so appreciate it =)

'Soul' Glimmer Iris Textures
Get yourself some glistening eyecatching windows to the soul.
Comes with two versions - with textured pupils and without.
And here's a handy flickr group for all Glimmer Eye products -
The Radnor hills are not the most eyecatching - just over two thousand feet high, flat topped, boggy, windswept. The most exciting thing that goes on in these parts is hidden away in the deep Harley Dingle valley where there is a test firing range, and they do have very efficient security people that shoo you away from the perimeter fence high up on the hills.
...But tucked away out of sight in a secluded side valley is this quite delightful cascade with its colourful name 'Water breaks its neck'. For some reason the light is often good, and it shows off the deep green and yellows of the moss that grows on the tree trunks and the the rocks. The two biggest tree trunks have been there for ages, but a third smaller one has appeared since I was last here. A lovely spot to while away an hour or two. I should have added these falls are roughly 10 metres high, 35-40 feet.

I think the Canola fields are just about finished, and I'm so thankful that I got out two or three times to capture the vibrant beauty before the landscape returned to green. This was taken within city limits to the west of the city, along one of the gravel backroads, on 31 July 2013. I zoomed in to get a closer look at the shed, and of course this made the mountains look much closer than they really are.
There are 15,000 Canola producers in Alberta. Canola is one of the healthiest vegetable oils, if not the healthiest.
"Canola refers to both an edible oil (also known as Canola oil) produced from the seed of any of several varieties of the rape plant, and to those plants, namely a cultivar of either rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) or field mustard (Brassica campestris L. or Brassica Rapa var.). The oil is suitable for consumption by humans and livestock, and for use as biodiesel." From Wikipedia.
A curious hybrid duck that keeps returning to Leighton Moss RSPB in Lancashire.
I first saw it last winter although it stayed distant on my annual visit to this reserve.
This year it was briefly right in front of one of the hides. The experts believe it is the offspring of a Northern Shoveler (Spatula clypeata) and an escaped Cinammon Teal (Anas cyanoptera)
Curiously neither species shows the white flash on its face although it is a feature that appears on the eclipse male Shoveler
Either way the plumage is eyecatching and it was willing to join my collection of photos of ducks flapping their wings.
