The greatest symbolism of the Dandelion flower comes from its unique puff-ball seed head rather than the sunny flower. Kids and adults alike pick the seed head – known as a clock in America and Europe for its shape – and blow the Dandelion seeds away while making a wish.

I'm trying to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
'Cause darling, without you
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
For me

No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust"

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall it's holding I'll let you now
So tell me do you wanna go?
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show

"I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures." Lao Tzu
The Gniezno Cathedral, together with the Lech Hill, is one of the greatest monuments in Poland.
In 999, the funeral of St. Wojciech and his canonization by Pope Sylvester II. In 1000 to tomb of St. Wojciech, Emperor Otto III arrived and it was so-called The First Congress of Gniezno. The Archdiocese of Gniezno and the First Ecclesiastical Metropolis in Poland, subject only to the Pope, were created. The silver reliquary of Saint Adalbert is located in the center of the Gothic chancel of the cathedral.
In 1025, Bolesław Chrobry was crowned king here, and after his death, his son Mieszko II. In 1076, Bolesław II Szczodry was crowned king of Poland.
In the cathedral, there are the famous Gniezno Doors depicting the biography of St. Wojciech. In the basement of the cathedral, you can see the relics of a stone building from the end of the 9th century, discovered during archaeological research, and fragments of the walls of the Basilica of Mieszko I.
During the first centuries of the emerging statehood, Gniezno was the capital of Poland. The last coronation of the King of Poland, Prince Przemysł II was in 1295. Wacław II of Bohemia was also crowned king here in 1300 after the armed seizure of Gniezno. In 1331, the Teutonic Knights entered the first capital of Poland, destroying the city and the temple.

Katedra Gnieźnieńska wraz z Wzgórzem Lecha jest jednym z największych zabytków Polski.
W 999 roku odbył się pogrzeb św. Wojciecha oraz jego kanonizacja przez papieża Sylwestra II, a roku 1000 do grobu św. Wojciecha przybył cesarz Otton III. Odbył się wtedy tzw. I Zjazd Gnieźnieński. Utworzono archidiecezję gnieźnieńską i I metropolię kościelną w Polsce, podległą wyłącznie papieżowi. Srebrny relikwiarz świętego Wojciecha znajduje się w centrum gotyckiego prezbiterium katedry.
W 1025 roku koronował się tutaj na króla Bolesław Chrobry, a po jego śmierci syn Mieszko II. W 1076 roku na króla Polski koronował się Bolesław II Szczodry.
W katedrze znajdują się słynne Drzwi Gnieźnieńskie przedstawiające życiorys św. Wojciecha. W podziemiach katedry można zobaczyć odkryte podczas badań archeologicznych relikty budowli kamiennej z końca IX wieku oraz fragmenty murów bazyliki Mieszka I.
Przez pierwsze wieki tworzącej się państwowości, Gniezno było stolicą Polski. Ostatnia koronacja na króla Polski, księcia Przemysła II była w 1295 roku. Na króla koronował się tutaj również Wacław II Czeski w roku 1300 po zbrojnym zajęciu Gniezna. W 1331 roku do pierwszej stolicy Polski wkroczyli Krzyżacy, niszcząc miasto i świątynię.
I love Blueberry's fantasy designs! They are so beautifully thought out and designed. The angel wings in the Angelberry Gacha Set are a vision of pure joy; the feathers are soft, fluttery and float on air. The beautiful outfit is enhanced by the artistic corset and o.m.g. have you seen the shoes! The majority of the outfit I am wearing is from the Rare collection, however the machine is packed with all the items I am wearing in an array of colors as commons.....

Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.

Undoubtedly one of his greatest artistic endeavors even though a pope has to basically coerce him to take on the project, the paintings on Sistine Chapel Ceiling in the Vatican have been masterfully reproduced by using licensed high definition photography and then a specialized printing technique that emulates the look and feel of the original painting. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition a traveling exhibition that allows one to see Michelangelo’s masterpieces up close and on Sunday my west coast damsel and I went to the Northern California exhibition at Davis on the grounds of U C Davis. Amazing the detail and accuracy of each biblical character definitely recommended for anyone who like me hasn’t been to the Vatican or the Sistine Chapel, plus this got us closer than one would ever get in Rome. The reluctant painter considered himself a master sculptor, but the Pope at the time needed the chapel to be finished under his watch, so Michelangelo would have to address the Sistine Chapel before he could sculpt the Pope’s tomb which he had already been commissioned. This image is of the creation of man, Adam as God provides him with the breath or spark of life. #sistinechapelexhibit

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, Is just to love and be loved in return"
George Alexander Aberle, known as eden ahbez (April 15, 1908 – March 4, 1995), was an American songwriter and recording artist of the 1940s to 1960s, whose lifestyle in California was influential in the hippie movement. He was known to friends simply as ahbe.
The greatest mystics have not been heretics but Catholic saints. In them “natural mysticism” which, like “natural religion,” is latent in humanity, and at the certain point of development breaks out in every race, came to itself; and attributing for the first time true and distinct personality to its Object, brought into focus the confused and unconditioned God which Neoplatonism had constructed from the abstract concepts of philosophy blended with the intuitions of Indian ecstatics, and made the basis of its meditations on the Real. It is a truism that the chief claim of Christian philosophy on our respect does not lie in its exclusiveness but in its Catholicity: in the fact that it finds truth in a hundred different systems, accepts and elucidates Greek, Jewish, and Indian thought, fuses them in a coherent theology, and says to speculative thinkers of every time and place, “Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.”
-Evelyn Underhill, Mysticism, E. P. Dutton and Company (New York) pp. 105–6.
Not the greatest day for taking photos which such low light.
From the RSPB website:-
Shovelers (Anas clypeata) are surface feeing ducks with huge spatulate bills. Males have dark green heads, with white breasts and chestnut flanks. Females are mottled brown. In flight birds show patches of light blue and green on their wings. In the UK they breed in southern and eastern England, especially around the Ouse Washes, the Humber and the North Kent Marshes and in much smaller numbers in Scotland and western parts of England. In winter, breeding birds move south, and are replaced by an influx of continental birds from further north.
The UK is home to more than 20 per cent of the NW European population, making it an Amber List species.

Just call me your love king and the bedroom my throne. And prepare for the greatest love, the best you’ve ever known.
Not the greatest image, but I think kind of a fun one. To me central boulder looked a bit like a whale, and the snow made me think of frothy water washing over it. Hence my title "Beached Whale"

To my greatest regret, I have to inform you that today is the last Poppy Monday (at least for this year). Next year there will (hopefully) be replenished again.
But considering the number of poppy fields I was able to visit this year (one), I am more than satisfied with the yield, not to say happy.
And so I wish you all a week (what else could come next) full of happiness and satifaction. And maybe a little anticipation for what's to come next year. And next year. And in the next... You understand the principle. 😉
Zu meinem allergrößten Bedauern muss ich Euch mitteilen, dass heute der (zumindest für dieses Jahr) letzte Mo(h)ntag ist. Nächstes Jahr gibts dann (hoffentlich) wieder Nachschub.
Doch gemessen an der Anzahl der Mohnfelder, die ich in diesem Jahr besuchen konnte (eins) bin ich mit der Ausbeute mehr als zufrieden, um nicht zu sagen glücklich.
Und so wünsche ich Euch allen eine Woche (was sollte jetzt auch anderes kommen) voller Glück und Zufriedenheit. Und vielleicht noch ein wenig Vorfreude auf das, was noch so kommt im Jahr. Und im nächsten Jahr. Und im nächsten ... Ihr versteht das Prinzip. 😉

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae). The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (331 to 551 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 401 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species.
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. - Source Wikipedia

There was a day when I didn’t know who you were.
There were days that I dreamed of who you would be.
There was a day that I discovered who you were.
There were days that I mourned the person you weren’t.
Then . . .
There was a day that the doctors said I was probably losing you.
There were days that I stared at your US picture and told you to hold on.
There was a day that I realized I just wanted you.
Then . . .
There was a day, October 18, 2004 that you came into our lives.
As I held you for the first time and you held my hand . . .
I realized I never truly knew what I even wanted . . .
For you were everything I never knew that I always wanted.
Happy 4th birthday my sweet girl. you have made everyday, for the past four years the sweetest we have ever known.
Not the greatest weather to start off another month of photography this weekend. I used what little good weather we had to explore some new places which I hope will provide some new opportunities and I also visited Summer Leys (where else!). The weather was verging on abysmal so it was definitely a day for sitting in a hide and thankfully this little egret was very obliging, fishing right in front of the hide.
