I am hoping lightning does strike twice, and I get another chance of captures like these this year. But this time with Meadow Pipits as the host bird.

A host of golden daffodils

Autumn in the park

Antic hostal de camí ral, situat en una collada del municipi de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès (Osona), sota la muntanya dels Munts, en un indret travessat per antics camins ramaders i per la moderna cruïlla de carreteres que enllacen el Lluçanès amb el Ripollès i la plana de Vic.

Antiga masoveria de la masia del Vilar de Sant Boi, fins el 1965, és una masia de tipus basilical que té a la llinda la data de 1756. S'hi celebra una tradicional fira de bestiar el 28 de setembre, en l’època que els ramats de les contrades pirinenques i subpirinenques baixen a hivernar a les zones, més càlides, de l’interior. La fira se celebra en camp obert, i l’hostal li ha donat el nom de fira de l’Hostal del Vilar. (enciclopèdia.cat)

I thought it fitting to cosplay as the Host with the most this ghoulish season. Beetlejuice is the ultimate troublemaker who demonstrates all 7 of the deadly sins in one disgusting package.

 

In a dream-sl-world someone would've built Dante's Inferno by now (the Brothel Juno placed in Adam's town model to keep him distracted momentarily). *hint hint to creators for next year*.

Thanks to all of you who has given me awards or comments. Sorry if I missed to answer. Right now I'm fighting covid.

 

My Friday Night hosting outfit is brought to you by Candy Kitten, the Savage Love Dress in the Pride print and the Naughty Girl Stockings and Boots.

Candy Kitten is awesome any time - great new releases and group gifts - but I wanted to highlight that for the next two days, Kaci has been so generous in waiving the usual group fee... which actually started about 12 hours ago, so you'll want to get instore quickly to take advantage of this amazing group.

"Crete hosts an extremely rare and endemic variety of plane trees (Platanus orientalis var. Cretica) with about 50 trees being reported throughout the island. The characteristic feature of this variety is that it is evergreen, unlike the common deciduous plane trees.

 

One of these trees is of great historical and mythological value and has survived the centuries, since the Minoan era. This is the plane of Gortyna, which still stands proudly in the back side of the current archaeological site of ancient Gortys.

 

The plane was dedicated to Zeus and according to mythology, under this tree, Zeus mated with Europa after transferring her to Crete from [the Levant]*. This is where she conceived her children; Minos, Sarpedon and Radamanthys. Since then, the plane did not lose its foliage again. The importance given to this tree is very clear by the depiction of Europa under the tree in the ancient coins of Gortys."

*The author writes "Africa" here, but this isn't correct.

 

Here you can find a picture of a coin of Gortys depicting Europa under a plane tree: www.greeceancientmodern.com/gortys.html

Dahlia El Paso on a spangled backdrop - lovely pink, lilac and yellow dahlia playing host to some wee critters....couldn't get a photograph without them, every time I returned, every shot :^)

In our garden.

Every year about this time, I watch the hosta plants emerge and I am captivated. Last year I was testing a lens and this is one of the shots captured.

 

If I remember correctly, shot with Rodenstock Retina Heligon 50mm f1.9.

Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) on a Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) plant. As was emphasized at a recent butterfly garden presentation you need both host plants and nectar plants to have the most successful butterfly friendly garden.

On one of its host plants, Partridge Pea.
