Parc du château de Versailles, hier matin, 20 février 2021
Le château, les Trianons, le Hameau de la Reine, la Ferme et tous les jardins associés sont fermés en raison des restrictions sanitaires contre le covid 19. Le public n'a accès qu'au parc mais celui-ci est immense et offre une sortie nature très agréable : bois, vastes prairies, pelouses du Grand Canal...

This was taken in May of 2015 when Kari and I took our youngest two daughters, Erika and Monica to Arizona. We had two days at the Grand Canyon and we experienced ever type of weather conditions imaginable. We got very little sunshine and then a good dose of the following.....rain, fog, snow, sleet, hail, wind all in one day. This did produce some interesting photos but I really never got a good clear shot of the Grand Canyons.
Demain enfants et grands enfants en Lorraine mais pas que, attendront avec impatience et inquiétude Saint Nicolas, sera a-t-il accompagné du Père Fouettard ? Mandarine et Mannele pour tous !
Explored January 17 - #86. Thanks everyone :-)

The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere...eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

I decided to go out to Grand Haven tonight for the sunset. Now this is not too bad with the clouds but about an hour before this time the clouds were really fantastic. Then as I am driving towards Grand Haven all the puffy beautiful clouds disappeared. I tried something different while shooting the sunset here tonight, instead of standing on the beach I decided to see what I could do while walking the pier.
Le Grand Prismatic Spring est un grand bassin d'eau chauffée à plus de 70 °C se trouvant dans le parc national de Yellowstone, aux États-Unis.
Il s'agit de la plus grande source chaude américaine connue, et la troisième plus importante au niveau mondial. Il est l'une des attractions touristiques les plus prisées du parc national, avec les Mammoth Hot Springs et le Old Faithful.
D'après diapositive de juillet 1985.
Last years trip to Grand Island. I had around 30 pictures that had been saved to a laptop that crashed. I was lucky enough to have a friend retrieve them for me recently Made my day, because, that was a great trip!
Grand Portage State Park is located at the northeastern tip of Minnesota on the Canada–United States border. Its 120-foot High Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and has been an icon of the area for centuries. The falls and rapids that proceed it were obstacles that led the voyageurs and fur traders of the 1700s to craft the area's name Git-che-O-ni-ga-ming (Ojibwe) or Grand Portage (French). In order to connect heavily-used trade routes, these men had to traverse nine miles around the falls from the Pigeon River to Lake Superior.

J'ai adoré ces Renardeaux , Petite Fille Aux Yeux Tristes était si craquante , Diva si belle , Diablotin si marrant , Costo si hardi , Petite Soeur si réservée ...
Mais j'avais un faible pour Grand Frère, à la beauté parfaite et au comportement si gentil . Il aurait , j'en suis sûr , fait un bon chien(ce qui n'est pas bien je le sais bien , mais largement préférable au plomb ou au poison...)

Le Grand Corbeau est le plus grand passereau au monde. Pour prendre une comparaison, il est plus grand et plus lourd qu'une Buse variable et a une envergure supérieure. Il est donc nettement plus grand que le Corbeau freux ou la Corneille noire auxquels il ressemble superficiellement. Le plus souvent, lorsqu'il est en vol, on le repère d'abord à sa voix, particulière, puis à sa silhouette, elle aussi particulière avec les longues ailes et la longue queue cunéiforme.
Le grand corbeau fréquente divers milieux, des les falaises côtières aux hautes montagnes. Il fréquente aussi les zones boisées et les forêts ouvertes. Il niche dans les falaises, dans la toundra et la forêt boréale,mais aussi dans les zones urbanisées.
Il n'est présent que de façon exceptionnelle sur le littoral picard.
Lorsqu'il est posé, c'est son bec noir qui attire l'attention et qui donne son identité. Il est fort, long et haut, ce qui minimise la taille de la tête. Il semble en occuper toute la face. Le culmen, qui peut atteindre 8 cm de long pour une hauteur de 2,5 à 3 cm, est régulièrement courbe et se termine en pointe. Sa moitié basale est couverte de vibrisses nasales appliquées. Le gonys est droit et se relève légèrement à l'extrémité pour faire pince avec le crochet. La calotte est souvent bombée à son sommet, ce qui rappelle le freux. L'iris est brun sombre et l'œil entouré d'un léger cercle gris.
Le plumage est entièrement noir et lustré, avec des reflets bleutés au soleil. Les pattes, robustes, sont noires. Le mâle est un peu plus grand et plus fort que la femelle. Le juvénile est noir, mais sans le lustre et avec une nuance brune bien visible à la lumière.
Located at the corner of O’Connell Street and Abbey Street, the Grand Central Café Bar is located in a genuinely grand central site, but doesn’t have a long history. It links what were two premises, 10 and 11 O’Connell Street, which have been a single building since the Munster and Leinster Bank acquired No 11 in 1926. No 11 was rebuilt by Benjamin Ball in 1824.
The buildings were extensively damaged in the Easter Rising of 1916, primarily by a shell from HMS Helga. No 10 was refurbished as a result in 1917.
The buildings played an interesting rôle during the Easter Rising. They housed at that time the Irish School of Wireless Telegraphy. With all telephone lines in and out of the city cut by the British authorities, on the second day of the Rising, 25 April 1916, the rebels sent the following message in Morse code thanks to one of their number, David Bourke, who was proficient in the art of telegraphy: “Irish Republic declared in Dublin today. Irish troops have captured city and are in full possession. Enemy cannot move in city. The whole country rising.”
Ships did receive the message and relayed it to the international press, although three days later the Rising would be crushed.
I wanted to view Grand Prismatic from the ridge in the background. The trail was under construction so I had to settle for the view from the boardwalk. If you look closely there are two bison tracks in the bottom right.
Taken at the Grand Ravines North yesterday. I'm near the edge of this ravine looking down. Yesterday was such a beautiful fall day, low to mid 70's, however quite windy.
Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

I woke up on our second morning in the Grand Canyon with a bad case of covid. We were supposed to hike down into the canyon for some distance and take photos along the South Kaibab Trail. So, we had to modify our plans and simply drove to all of the overlooks and took a couple of photos at each. At some of the locations I drove my truck to the edge of the parking lot, rolled the window down, and took a couple photos. Around lunch, we drove back to the hotel and packed up early. Then, we drove 1300 miles back home with only a minimal amount of stops to avoid infecting anyone else. It was pure misery.
Taken from a helicopter ride over the canyon which was
absolutely fantastic once they had got me on the helicopter.
In 1869, Major John Wesley Powell led the first expedition down the canyon. Powell set out to explore the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. Powell ordered a shipwright to build four reinforced Whitewall rowboats from Chicago and had them shipped east on the newly completed Continental railroad. He hired nine men, including his brother Walter, and collected provisions for ten months. They set out from Green River, Wyoming on May 24. Passing through (or portaging around) a series of dangerous rapids, the group passed down the Green River to its confluence with the Colorado River, near present-day Moab, Utah. Most of their food spoiled after getting wet in the waves or by heavy rains. Beaten up by ferocious whitewater and nearly out of food, three men left the expedition in the Grand Canyon, electing to walk 75 miles out across a desert to a Mormon settlement. Never seen again, their disappearance remains one of the most enduring mysteries of American western history.
