For my "One of a kind" flower images project, thriving to reach 1.000 images :-)
When a baby is born in the Balkans, a quince tree is planted as a symbol of fertility, love, and life.
Ancient Greek poets, such as Aristophanes, used quinces as a mildly ribald term for teenage breasts.
The cultivation of quince started 4000 years ago.
Quince thrives both in temperate and semi-tropical areas, but it produces the best quality fruit in warmer areas.
Up on Derwent Edge in the Peak District, the weathered stones take on some strange shapes. This one is popularly known as the Cakes of Bread - it's one of 3 or 4 similar ones standing in a row but at annoying spaces that didn't look great in a collective shot. Definitely a she I think. And struck me as being a rather comical, and now petrified, invading giant.

Parte del complesso del Ulun Danu Temple, uno dei più famosi templi hindu di Bali, ubicato nel Lago Beratan, e circondato dalle montagne di Bodugul. Le acque del lago alimentano l'intera regione intorno a Bodugul rendendola estremamente fertile tanto che Il lago è conosciuto come "Il Lago della Montagna Sacra".
Il tempio fu eretto nel 1663 ed è tuttora utilizzato per le cerinomie di offerta alla dea Balinese Dewi Danu, protettrice del lago e dell'acqa, a sottolineare l'importanza del Lago Baratan come sorgente principale di irrigazione nel centro di Bali.
The Ulun Danu Temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Beratan in the mountains near Bedugul. Water temples serve the entire region in the outflow area; downstream there are many smaller water temples that are specific to each irrigation association.
Built in 1663, this temple is used for offerings ceremony to the Balinese water, lake and river goddess Dewi Danu, due to the importance of Lake Beratan as a main source of irrigation in central Bali.
Lake Beratan is known as the Lake of Holy Mountain due to the fertility of this area.

Second Life™ Destination:
African Jungle Theme Roleplay Village: Power, Passion, and Total Submission
Deep in the heart of a wild, untamed jungle, a kingdom rises where power isn't just taken — it's worshipped.
PRIMFEED: Fertility Dance
***
The sun was bleeding its last light through the tangled canopy of the jungle of the Blacked Tribe, casting a golden haze across the sacred sands. Djumbe drum beat low like the pulse of the earth itself—steady, ancient, calling the spirits awake.
She came barefoot across the white sands, hips swaying like the tall reeds by the river, her skin painted with ochre and ash, her golden chains rattling softly with each step. She is a slave girl born of the outer clans and mix blood, gifted to the Panther Prince as tribute—no, as offering.
The fertility stone loomed before her—smooth, obsidian black, veined with silver streaks from the earth’s own womb. Around it were carved the shapes of leaping antelope and hunters locked in eternity. It was here the ancestors whispered.
The slave knelt, her breath shallow, heart thundering with purpose. She bowed low, her forehead pressed to the hot stone. She didn’t speak—words were too small. Instead, she *danced.*
Her limbs moved with grace born of devotion and desperation. The chains on her hips clinked in rhythm to the low drumming that seemed to rise from the earth. She arched, spun, and let her body become the prayer—the plea.
"Great Mother Inkosazana," she finally whispered, voice raw, "I am your vessel. Let me carry the seed of your chosen son."
The Panther Prince—warrior of storms, killer of wildebeests, and bearer of the Blacked Tribe mysterious Hystera Herbs—had taken her under the moon only nights before. But no child stirred yet in her belly. Not yet. The tribe said her womb must be accepted first by the goddess.
She raised her hands to the statue, breasts bare, tattooed with the sacred runes of submission. The firelight painted her skin with gold, and her shadow danced like a spirit beside her.
“I bleed for the tribe. I open to the bloodline. Let my womb be your cradle.”
Behind her, the wind stirred. No one watched, but every spirit did.
Far in the jungle, a panther roared.
And somewhere deep inside, she felt it—a warmth blooming low and slow, like the breath of the goddess herself answering.
**Tonight, the ancestors would listen.**
"Hathor, a goddess of the sky, the sun, and fertility, is often called the Eye of Ra, and she also has a relationship with Horus, who also has solar connections, that is similar to the relationship between Ra and his eye."
Sometimes we find our selves in the right place at the right time. With the clouds positioned over the puddle, the "Eye of Ra" came to mind. Even the log was in just the right place. Stories can be fun when expressed through visual means.
Only through extreme (some would say over the top) processing could I bring out the sunrays in the sky, which to me was necessary to create the fairy tale like atmosphere of the place and the moment. The field is sloping slightly up to the right which may deceive you into thinking that the horizon is not straight.

The hall has an imposing height of about 30 meters and is decorated with numerous statues and sculptures depicting Thai mythology and history.

In general, the inside of the left hall is a wonderful example of the rich Thai culture and history, and the wood carving techniques used to create it are very impressive.
The Sanctuary of Truth is een prachtige tempel in Pattaya, Thailand, die een eerbetoon is aan de traditionele Thaise architectuur en vakmanschap. De tempel is volledig gemaakt van hout, met ingewikkeld houtsnijwerk dat verschillende hindoeïstische en boeddhistische godheden uitbeeldt, evenals oude Thaise mythologische figuren. In de Thaise cultuur worden godinnen vaak afgebeeld met blote borsten als symbool van vruchtbaarheid, overvloed en zorgzaamheid. De bouw van het Sanctuary of Truth begon in 1981 en is nog steeds aan de gang. De tempel heeft een oppervlakte van ruim twee hectare en is meer dan 100 meter hoog.

Het is een vredige en rustige plek waar bezoekers de schoonheid van de Thaise cultuur en traditie kunnen overdenken en waarderen. De linker hal in de Sanctuary of Truth is een indrukwekkende houten structuur die lijkt op een kathedraal.

Symbol of fertility an wealth.
Wünsche Euch für das neue Jahr alles, was der Granatapfel symbolisiert.
Contam os caminhos que Oxum é a orixá que rege a fertilidade, e tudo relacionada a ela. A fertilidade do mundo. É com ela que a Ayaba se torna uma Yalode, uma mulher muito importante. É ela quem transforma a a menstruação (que é um ciclo incômodo) em algo precioso, como as penas vermelhas de uma arara rara.
The ways tell us that Oxum is the orisha who rules fertility, and everything related to it. The fertility of the world. It is with her that Ayaba becomes a Yalode, a very important woman. It is she who turns menstruation (which is an uncomfortable cycle) into something precious, like the red feathers of a rare macaw.

Double Temple of Kom Ombo
The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu. Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris.
Der Doppeltempel von Kom Ombo entstand in der ptolemäischen Epoche Ägyptens 304 bis 31 v. Chr.
Seine rechte Hälfte gehört dem Krokodilsgott Sobek, die linke Hälfte wird von dem falkenköpfigen Haroéris, "Horus der Ältere" oder "Horus der Mächtige", dem Licht- und Himmelsgott, aber auch Kriegsgott, bewohnt.
"One is constantly reminded of the infinite lavishness and fertility of Nature—inexhaustible abundance amid what seems enormous waste. And yet when we look into any of her operations that lie within reach of our minds, we learn that no particle of her material is wasted or worn out. It is eternally flowing from use to use, beauty to yet higher beauty; and we soon cease to lament waste and death, and rather rejoice and exult in the imperishable, unspendable wealth of the universe."
— John Muir

This farm girl can't get enough of this Ohio countryside. I think this is alfalfa, but it looks like a field of south GA peanuts. View large and take it in - I was amazed to see the rows in the far field.
Crooked River Canyon,
Smith Rock State Park, Oregon
One of the "7 Wonders of Oregon"
Can't say it any better than this writer, well said:
"..... a gorgeous cathedral of rock in the high desert of eastern Oregon. ...... hiking up Misery Ridge to Monkey Face Rock and along Crooked River. Rock climbers dotted the cliff faces and fellow hikers filled the dusty trails. The hike was steep and the day was hot, but the sheer beauty of Smith Rock erased every trace of discomfort, leaving me awestruck of this sacred place."
