A gorgeous mineral that I have been trying to photograph for a while. Some kind of silicon. How anyone can accuse me of having a fondness for bling, I can't understand. LOL

Friday mood: looking back what has happened (or not) last week and looking forward for the things to come at the same time ;-))
Happy Fence Friday everyone ;-)

Staying below 1.5 degrees is the only chance we have of avoiding these tipping points and stabilising our world again.

Good luck for COP 26 beginning in Glasgow tomorrow
and that it will have better results than just more 'hot air'
and the further formulation of noble goals that no one is seriously trying to achieve ...
Earth needs tangible actions at all levels of human existence!
One of the few remaining unscathed roses during the recent heat wave. Many had signs of heat and wind burns.

Manu thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful Friday
A shot from La Grange, Texas. So different from the hill country where I live. But, still pretty in its own way.
I signed up with Airbnb and I have my first people coming on Friday. However, I have discovered a down side to Airbnb. They report all your income to the IRS..;( I didn't see that coming. So, I'm still listing room mate wanted in the newspapers..:).
Thank you for your interest in and taking the time to comment on or fav my photos it's very much appreciated! :-)

..lol..You had to know I took more than one drive by fence shot..;).However, I think this is the last one I'll post. They others don't do as much for me. This one didn't either until I ran it through Topaz Studio.
This is advertisement for a resort here in Wimberley, Texas. As I've said before, there are a lot of creative people in this town. I did some volunteer photography last night for the Waller Creek group. They had an event on the creek. I'm going to post some of the shots here during the week.
This is right across the street from my house. Isn't that one huge tree. I'm betting that tree is over a hundred years old.
I almost didn't get this posted today. For some reason I was thinking it was Wednesday. Guess I was having a senior moment..;)

"The political decision-makers who (will) meet at COP26 in Glasgow are urgently summoned to provide effective responses to the present ecological crisis and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations...
Moments of difficulty like these also present opportunities, opportunities that we must not waste. We can confront these crises by retreating into isolationism, protectionism and exploitation. Or we can see in them a real chance for change, a genuine moment of conversion, and not simply in a spiritual sense."
(Pope Francis)
This isn't that great of an image. I took it with my phone. This is what I saw when I pulled into my work Tuesday. It's deer hunting season around here so the deer are staying close to buildings..;)
For the groups Cosas de casa...Jagged
and Flickr Friday...Leaves
How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colours gleaming in the sun.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this photo, it's very much appreciated!
Stay safe my friends!
Looking Close... on Friday: Tip
On tonight's episode of "Cats Are Perfect": the ear! This delicate, soft little ear possesses 32 muscles (we poor humans only have 6) and allows cats to keep their balance, move their ears 180°, and of course hear 5 times better than us. It never ceases to amaze me how these little killing machines with superfeline powers can be so graceful, elegant, beautiful... and so, so cute! (Incidentally, the cuteness is... not incidental. They share baby-like features with lots of baby animals, which makes us subconsciously attracted to them. But these devious little monsters have also managed to tune their purring to a human baby's cries, triggering our instinct to protect, help... and smooch. We are being totally manipulated. And we love that.)
I couldn't decide if I should save this one for "Bench Monday" or use it "Fence Friday". This is from the Gruene historical district. Such a pretty area. Looking at this image makes me want to go back and visit it
Happy Friday!
Please write in the comment, what is your, what kind of facial expression I have, and what am I thinking of on this Beautiful Day?
Enjoy your Weekend and Stay Safe!!!

This is a sheep pen. Not sure why they don't want the sheep to see out.
The A/C drain pan busted and drained on my bed and floor through a new hole in the ceiling..:)So the repair crews have been here today repairing the ceiling. I guess the floor people will be here next week. In the mean time, I've been sleeping in the computer room.

Postman Butterfly, caught this one on the fence! HFF!
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!
Thank you for your visit and support everyone!
One of those colours I struggle with on a sunny day. This was a SUPER windy day and the Poppy's were flying around like crazy.
Shot for Fence Friday.
Working off phone - hopefully back tomorrow sometime.

Rhododendrons are ornamental shrubs with bell-shaped flowers and wide, evergreen leaves. They can be difficult plants to grow as they require specific conditions to flourish. Rhododendrons prefer well-draining, acidic soil and thrive in dappled shade with mild temperatures.

Have a beautiful Friday everyone!💝 HFF!
Thank you for your visits, kind comments, awards and faves. Always greatly appreciated.

Are there indeed still climate change deniers?

And remember, there will be no vaccine against the loss of biodiversity and global warming...
we all will have to change a lot in the way we live and think!
And when I see the global behaviour during the current pandemic, it doesn't make me very confident ...
