When I drove past this barn I just had to stop and get a photo. The nice shade of red paint, faded flag and the birds sitting on the power lines just make the shot!

A forgotten Lockheed PV-2 at Gila memorial airpark, just south of Phoenix AZ. You can find several PV2s an DC4s on this abandoned airpark, including the burned down terminal building. It was used to be the base of 60 aircraft back in the 1980s. Nowadays it is just a great place for photography!
Please take a look at my photostream for more photographs from this amazing place.
"In a blade of grass, in every dew drop, in the mists of the mountains, in the fathomless bottom of the oceans, in the chirp of the birds, in the colours of the sunset, in the laughter of a child you witness the glory of God."

A flock of Ibises headed home juxtaposed perfectly with the setting sun. Well, not exactly, the Ibises were added later :-)
Yellowstone National Park has many geysers but not many as colorful as the Morning Glory Pool. The distinct color of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few rare occasions the Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity.
Due to vandalism and the carelessness of tourists, the park has placed a sign stating... Fading Glory
"Morning Glory Pool is losing its brilliant color. Through ignorance and vandalism, people have tossed objects into the hot spring, clogging its vent and lowering the temperature. Brown, orange, and yellow algae-like bacteria thrive in the cooler water, gradually turning the vivid aqua-blue to a murkier greenish-brown.
All thermal features are at risk. Hot springs and geysers have fragile, complex plumbing that takes centuries to develop. Morning Glory's future is uncertain; you can help by immediately reporting any vandalism."
Bozeman as seen from Snowfill Recreation Area. Wild weather came in threatening rain, with lightning over the hills behind us, but it skirted by and left a glorious moment behind.

Wikipedia: Ipomoea aquatica or water spinach, is a semi-aquatic, tropical plant grown as a vegetable for its tender shoots. I. aquatica is generally believed to have been first domesticated in Southeast Asia. It is widely cultivated in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and South Asia. It grows abundantly near waterways and requires little to no care.
Ipomoea aquatica is most widely known as kangkong (also spelled kangkung), which originates from its common name in Southeast Asia. It is also known as water spinach, river spinach, water morning glory, water convolvulus, or by the more ambiguous names Chinese spinach, Chinese watercress, Chinese convolvulus or swamp cabbage.
Ipomoea aquatica is most commonly grown in east, south, and southeast Asia. It flourishes naturally in waterways, and requires little if any care. It is used extensively in Indonesian, Burmese, Thai, Lao, Cambodian, Malay, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Chinese cuisine, especially in rural or kampung (village) areas.

Ranty post, would love a discussion on my blog about it >5
John 11:40: Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"
In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year,
bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil.
And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such
superb colour effects as from August to November.
- Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905

A Morning Glory basking in the autumn sunlight, amazing to see that the bloom only lasts a morning or so.

Morning glory (also written as morning-glory) is the common name for over 1,000 species of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae. Most morning glory flowers unravel into full bloom in the early morning. The flowers usually start to fade a few hours before the petals start showing visible curling. They prefer full solar exposure throughout the day, and mesic soils. Because of their fast growth, twining habit, attractive flowers, and tolerance for poor, dry soils, some morning glories are excellent vines for creating summer shade on building walls when trellised. It was first known in China for its medicinal uses, due to the laxative properties of its seeds. 47119

The All American Park in Quincy, Illinois provides this beautiful view of the Bay Bridge (on the left) and the Quincy Memorial Bridge (Highway 24, on the right). Large barges headed up the Mississippi River frequently pass beneath the bridges.
Quincy is a beautiful river city. According to Wikipedia, "In the fall of 2010, [it] was listed as eighth in the top fifteen small cities to raise a family in the United States by Forbes magazine for its commute times, high school graduation rate, median household income, home ownership rate and cost of living. Forbes compared 126 cities with a population under 100,000 and ranked them on these five quality-of-life measures."
I also found this to be of interest, "During the winter of 1838-1839, five thousand members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons, on their way west, were driven from their homes in Missouri and arrived in Quincy. Though vastly outnumbered by the new arrivals, the residents of Quincy provided them food and shelter. Joseph Smith then led his followers 40 miles (64 km) up river to Nauvoo, Illinois. The kindness extended by the people of Quincy continues to be remembered by Mormons. In 2002, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir gave a benefit concert in Quincy, with the proceeds donated to the city as an expression of gratitude."

Deep inside a Morning Glory flower...
I couldn't decide whether to upload this same image but with the beetle in focus and the stigma and anthers out of focus. In the end I went with this one where the flower parts are in clear focus and the bug is lurking in the background :)
I love the white walls of this delicate flower here, the backlighting being the direct sunshine outside of the flower.
Enjoy!
This way leads up to Lions head in Capetown providing some pretty steep sections close to the summit. A typical path to glory. We were so proud, when we made it...
