The Highland (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Hielan coo) is a Scottish breed of rustic beef cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.
The fringes round the heart of this Field gentian (Gentianella campestris) are one of its characteristics, along with its four petals. The butterflies and bees that can get the honey out of these flowers, need to have a really long tongue!
In Austria, this gentian can be found in the provinces Steiermark (Styria), Tirol (the Tyrol) and Vorarlberg, where I spotted it near the Kanzelwand. It is a protected plant although it can occur in larger numbers in certain areas.

Another picture of the fringed Willowherb flowers from the garden.
I think they're more of a weed, but I think they're so delicate and pretty.

This pretty wildflower loves to grow in damp, shady conditions. I'd never seen one before until this past summer.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're so appreciated. Have a wonderful day!
The fringe-eared oryx (Oryx beisa callotis) is a large antelope native to East Africa, primarily found in southeastern Kenya and northeastern Tanzania. It is distinguished from other oryx species by the prominent tufts of long black hair at the tips of its ears.
It is currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Major threats include poaching for meat and horns, as well as habitat loss due to agriculture and competition with livestock. The total population of mature individuals is estimated to be between 3,000 and 4,000.

To the Fringed Gentian
- William Cullen Bryant 1794-1878)-
Thou Blossom bright with autumn dew,
And coloured with the heavens own blue,
That openest when the quiet light
Succeeds the keen and frosty night.
Thou comest not when violets lean
Ore wandering brooks and springs unseen,
Or columbines in purple dressed,
Nod oer the ground-birds nest,
Thou waitest late and comest alone,
When woods are bare and birds are flown,
And frosts and shortening days portend
The aged year is near his end.
Then doth thy sweet and quiet eye
Look through its fringes to the sky,
Blue....blue... as if the sky let fall
A flower from its cerulean wall.
I would that thus, when I shall see
The hour of death draw near to me,
Hope, blossoming within my heart,
May look to heaven as I depart.
Winter welcomes a fringe of blue
to its icy whites.
Then she sprinkles a few flakes
to the frozen sites.
I sit beside this sculpted scene
of visual delights
and enjoy the view.
-Lynn Reket
I started out intending to shoot a still life, but when I laid this throw down to be the background for the still life, it became my focus.
One of my favorites planted a number of years ago and still going strong. I found a few that haven't been damaged by frost.

White-fringed weevils are an informal species group within a much larger genus Naupactus and their native range is southern South America.
Invasive here in Australia, now pests of agricultural crops.
Adults feed on the foliage of hundreds of plant species. Larvae feed on roots and their damage is more serious, especially on crops or young pines in plantations and nurseries.

"Drosera, commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species. These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which the plants grow. Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, are native to every continent except Antarctica.
Charles Darwin performed much of the early research into Drosera, engaging in a long series of experiments with Drosera rotundifolia which were the first to confirm carnivory in plants. In an 1860 letter, Darwin wrote, “…at the present moment, I care more about Drosera than the origin of all the species in the world.”
Both the botanical name (from the Greek δρόσος: drosos = "dew, dewdrops") and the English common name (sundew, derived from Latin ros solis, meaning "dew of the sun") refer to the glistening drops of mucilage at the tip of the glandular trichomes that resemble drops of morning dew. The Principia Botanica, published in 1787, states “Sun-dew (Drosera) derives its name from small drops of a liquor-like dew, hanging on its fringed leaves, and continuing in the hottest part of the day, exposed to the sun.”
Memorial to the Sinti and Roma of Europe murdered under National Socialism, Berlin, Germany.

In 1992 the Federal Government decided to erect a national monument in memory of the murder of the European Sinti and Roma persecuted as “gypsies”. The memorial of the artist Dani Karavan consists of a fountain with a stone that can be lowered and on which a fresh flower is placed every day. In addition, panels provide information on exclusion and mass murder of this minority during the National Socialist reign of terror. The memorial was ceremoniously opened to the public on 24 October 2012.
About 500.000 children, women and men were murdered systematically for rascist reasons.
The metal frame of the water bowl contains the poem »Auschwitz« by the Italian Roma musician, composer and university teacher Santino Spinelli. In German and English, it lines the lake. On the fringes of the chronology, it can also be read in two different dialects of the Romanes:
Sunken in face // extinguished eyes // cold lips // silence // a torn heart // without breath // without words // no tears.
