View form Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous paved road in the US reaching elevation of 12,183 feet), Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Driving on this road is little nerve wrecking, but in the end rewarded by breathtaking scenery. Changing elevation takes you from tree lines to alpine tundra which has very fragile ecosystem. Weather up top is ever changing and highly unpredictable.

Pareidolia is defined as a situation in which someone sees a pattern or image of something that did not exist.
This small sculpture I found on a recent trip intrigued me enough to have an impromptu photo session. I'm so glad I did. The image has seized my imagination, lending itself to stories galore.
L’église St Jacques fut érigée à la fin du 14ème siècle à l’emplacement d’une église du 13ème siècle détruite par un violent incendie en 1374. La construction commencée en 1397 dans le style gothique s’est étalée sur plus de cent ans. Au milieu du 15ème siècle la construction du déambulatoire et du triforium était terminée puis à la fin du siècle la construction de l’église s’est achevée par la réalisation des chapelles latérales de la nef. C’est de cette époque que datent le cloître et la Porte de l’Ange en gothique flamboyant. La Sacristie et le grand porche extérieur sud en forme triangulaire furent réalisés au 16ème siècle.
En 1819, l’église St Jacques a été élevée au rang de Basilique Mineure. Dans la seconde moitié du 19ème siècle, de grands travaux de restauration de la basilique ont été entrepris, avec la réfection des murs intérieurs et de la voûte, la reconstruction de la Sacristie puis la reconstruction après 1880 de la façade avec la tour et la flèche, dans le style néo-gothique. Le cloître a été restauré au début du 20ème siècle.
En 1931, la basilique a été classée aux Monuments Historiques Nationaux. En 1949, la basilique est devenue la cathédrale du nouveau diocèse de Bilbao. De 1985 à 2000, l’intérieur de la cathédrale a fait l’objet d’importants travaux de restauration, suite aux dommages causés par les inondations de 1983.
En 1709, l’église St Jacques fit l’acquisition d’un grand-orgue construit par le frère franciscain Domingo de AGUIRRE.Vers 1785 l’orgue fut reconstruit par le facteur Diego de AMEZUA de Bilbao, un ancêtre du célèbre facteur du 19ème siècle, Aquilino AMEZUA.L’orgue subit d’importants dommages lors de l’invasion des troupes française en 1795. Sans doute fut-il restauré, mais on n’a que peu d’informations sur le sort de l’instrument au cours du 19ème siècle.
En 1887, l’église acheta un orgue neuf à la maison allemande IBACH de Schwelm (Rhénanie du Nord), grâce au legs d’une riche paroissienne. Cet orgue fut achevé en 1892, avec 2 claviers et pédalier et il a fonctionné jusqu’en 1964. Il fut réparé et agrandi par la maison DOURTE de Begoña (Bilbao) en 1932
.En 2001 et 2002, les facteurs français PELLERIN & UYS de Dax (Landes) ont construit le grand-orgue actuel. Il s’agit d’un instrument de facture classique d’Europe du nord (Hollande et Allemagne du Nord) dans un buffet contemporain. Il est situé en tribune au fond de la nef, et son buffet laisse toute la perspective de la rosace vue de la nef. La console est placée en fenêtre centrale au pied du grand buffet
L’orgue a été baptisé « Jesús Guridi », du nom de son titulaire à partir de 1918 et également compositeur reconnu. Il a été inauguré en décembre 2002 par un récital de José Manuel Azkue
Il sentiero che va a Monte della Cavalla si chiama 'sentiero dei narcisi', ma potrebbe anche chiamarsi 'sentiero degli asfodeli', perché ce ne sono molti.
Di fronte una nuvola a forma di cuore. Forse si potrebbero vedere delle piccole ali lateralmente, con un po' di fantasia.
In realtà qualcuno mi ha detto :' Ma dove lo vedi un cuore?'
Molte volte la natura ci parla, ci dà dei segni, con oggetti, figure, forme casuali, in cui il nostro subcosciente riconosce forme note. Penso che vediamo ciò che vogliamo vedere.
A me piace pensare che siano segni che ci rincuorano, ci accompagnano, magari nei momenti di maggiore difficoltà. Sarebbe bello, perché non lasciare nel mistero?
Al ritorno, sul sentiero ho trovato ancora una volta una pietra a forma di cuore ( che magari fotigrafero', perché non ne ho avuto il tempo). Questa volta era leggera, l'ho tenuta.
Il fenomeno con cui si tendono a riconoscere forme note in quello che ci circonda si chiama
παρειδωλια, pareidolia, dal greco : πάρα, parà, che significa vicino, simile ed είδωλον, eidolon, immagine.
Mi conforta sapere che Leonardo, in suo scritto, parlava di questo fenomeno , in cui ci vuole un po' di immaginazione

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717
After a "tip off" from a fellow enthusiast, a long walk, a 3 hour wait, an several insect bites/stings later!!! I finally connected with this Helice form beauty. 2 other Clouded Yellows seen on the day(way down in numbers from last year)...but certainly worth the effort.....................what a beauty she is too.

These lovely roses were taken in our garden this summer 2024.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Rose thorns are actually prickles - outgrowths of the epidermis. While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.

The Church are an Australian alternative rock band formed in Sydney in 1980. Initially associated with new wave, neo-psychedelia, and indie rock, their music later came to feature slower tempos and surreal soundscapes reminiscent of dream pop and post-rock. "this unique Sydney-originated entity has purveyed a distinctive, ethereal, psychedelic-tinged sound which has alternatively found favour and disfavour in Australia." The Los Angeles Times has described the band's music as "dense, shimmering, exquisite guitar pop" (from Wikipedia).
Sometime in history, there was here, in what we know as Mérida, Yucatán, México, a worship place for the Mayan god Itzamná, however, Spanish conquerors, built over it a little chapel in 1572 and many years later a temple dedicated to Saint Michel Archangel. At this time, it remains the baptismal font in the restored Church of Itzimná.
En algún momento de la historia existió, en lo que hoy se conoce como barrio de Itzimná, un adoratorio dedicado al Dios maya Itzamná, sin embargo los conquistadores decidieron construir en 1572 una pequeña capilla y años más tarde el templo donde por muchos años se veneró al Cristo de las Esquipulas y dedicado también a San Miguel Arcángel. De la primera capilla se conserva aún la pila bautismal en lo que ahora es la ya renovada Parroquia de la Señora del Perpetuo Socorro en veneración a dicha Virgen.

The Unguarded Moment: youtu.be/qQvr2eF5zMM
In 1990, Archaeological Survey of India discovered a sunken apsidal stepped well along with few sculptures inside it. This stepped well is located immediately to the north of the Shore Temple, its south edge abutting the northern wall of the Shore Temple. On the extreme south of this newly discovered shrine is placed a monolith statue of Varaha (Boar)in its zoomorphic form. This image is carved in round from a single boulder. The statue was found severely damaged, however, with efforts from ASI restorers, we now see this image in its near original glory. The other element of this stepped well is a slender cylindrical shrine constructed partly in rock and partly in stone. Beyond this cylindrical shrine, further northward, is a circular cistern or mini-well. This is cut downwards with a circular rim-like stone placed at the ground level.
ASI report mentions that this well provides potable water though situated near the ocean. Though Rabe accepts these sockets for the capstones of a well, however, he suggests that these might be constructed to hold the ‘pillar of victory’ taken by Narasimhavarman I from Vatapi (Badami) which probably was installed here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rabe2 tries to explain political reason behind the systematic destruction of this Varaha image. Rabe suggests that this Varaha monolith was severely and systematically butchered when the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I invaded the Pallava kingdom. The rationale behind this destruction was the submissive and prostrated attitude of the Varaha (Boar) Varaha was the dynastic crest of the Chalukyas. This specific posture of Varaha might be taken as a reference to the subjugation of the Chalukyas by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I. And to take revenge, the Chalukyan army destroyed this Varaha image while marching forward into the Pallava kingdom.
Inscriptions On the Varaha (boar) monolith –
The Varaha sculpture is carved out of the mother rock like the three other animal sculptures in the Five Rathas nearby. It has four birudas (titles) of Rajasimha Pallava, some of his favorites, inscribed upon the base, in Sanskrit in the Pallava Grantha script. The birudas on the side are “Sri RajasimhaH” “Sri RanajayaH” and “Sri BharaH”. The biruda on the rear, under the varaha’s tail, is “Sri Citra KaarmukaH”. Between the legs of the boar on both the and under its tail, leaves of acquatic plants are sculpted. These are similar to those at the base of the Varaha and Gajalakshmi panels in the Varaha Mandapam. These indicate that the boar which represents Vishnu, is diving under water, not merely digging.
However, how to explain the engraved titles of Rajasimha, as the Chalukyan attacked the Pallava kingdom before the reign of Rajasimha. To explain it, Rabe tells that it was most possible that like other monoliths, this Varaha was also executed during the period of Narasimhavarman I(630–668 AD). Therefore, when the Chalukyas attacked the Pallavas, during the reign of Narasimhavarman I and Parameshvaravarman I, this monolith was present in the temple complex. As the Varaha was destroyed before the reign of Rajasimha (695 to 722 AD), it was Rajasimha who restored it and that’s how we find his titles engraved on it. (Above description source Internet).

Perfectly formed beautiful tinted tea rose,
On my way back from the preserve I stopped at my favorite flower nursery to look for roses,
This one caught my eye, perhaps I need to get few Tea roses.
