As the Sun sets on the Pacific Ocean, it's time to say goodbye to the Galapagos Islands and the amazing wildlife we encountered.
The Galápagos Islands is a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. It's considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. A province of Ecuador, it lies about 1,000km off its coast. Its isolated terrain shelters a diversity of plant and animal species, many found nowhere else. Charles Darwin visited in 1835, and his observation of Galápagos' species later inspired his theory of evolution. ― Google

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
William Shakespeare

Где-то природа уже встретила весну, и постепенно окрашивается яркими красками. У нас все еще идет снег, но ощущение весны практически осязаемо. Этим красочным снимком я завершаю свою зимнюю серию. Надеюсь весна будет не менее полна на приключения, чем уходящая зима...
Somewhere nature has already met spring, and is gradually being painted with bright colors. We still have snow, but the feeling of spring is almost palpable. With this colorful shot I complete my winter series. I hope spring will be no less full of adventures than the outgoing winter...
** Since 2017 I have posted three other shots of the iconic Motif Number 1 in Rockport . This image will be the end of the series, the shot coincidently was taken on the final day of our trip to New England . We had visited Rockport at the beginning of the trip and liked it so much we stopped there for a couple of hours on our way back to Boston Airport .
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

Gosh, I've spent so many hours on this deck looking at this view. I love this place so much and have always said this was my forever home but it's time for a new chapter.
Thanks for the memories, SR ❤️

Farewell of Slavianka is a beautiful monument erected in 2014 at the entrance of Belorussian Railway Station, Moscow to commemorate 100 years anniversary of WWI (1914-1918). It is dedicated to Russian women bidding farewell to their going to war husbands.
I apologize for technical imperfections of this photo, it was raining.
Farewell is said by the living, in life,every day. It is said with love and friendship, with the affirmation that the memories are lasting if the flesh is not.

I must apologize but currently it is difficult to catch up. It is not only the summer but also the flood what bothers us.... (our house is also affected)....So I hope everything goes good and that there is soon more time again to spend it with you guys here on flickr!
Thank you all so much for you wonderful comments under my last picture (and of course every other pic too!) I've actually read each.....your kind words..from everyone of you made me so happy. I´m really sorry that it will take some days to answer them. You know I want to take my time for every single one so...please have patience.

I knew I'd been keeping this photo for a reason! Farewell to both the gull and to 2023. May 2024 be good to you all :-)

A gray whale waves farewell with its tail, signalling the beginning of a deep dive along the coastline of the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.
(Altered Reallity - The whale was photographed 30 minutes later with only the ocean as a background... it would have been so much more scenic if it had been seen here!)
