This big Elephant performed the incredible act using his trunk to grab the juicy leaves. This unusual behaviour has rarely been photographed. (Satara, Kruger National Park, RSA)

Ball-Dahlie Martina…

"Martina" ist unglaublich schön mit ihren leuchtend weißen Blütenblättern, die an ihren Spitzen mit sanftem Lila-Rosa gebürstet sind und die perfekte Form der Blüten hervorheben.

Ball Dahlia Martina...

"Martina" is incredibly beautiful with her bright white petals, which are brushed at their tips with soft purple-pink, and highlight the perfect shape of the flowers.

Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have all a Day. 🍂 ✌

Let's face it now, it isn't everyday we see a genuine example of anti gravity anywhere let alone in agarden is it now? Yet here we have it along with the evidence, and not just any garden - it's in our garden! I know, it's incredible, but its not for sale so don't even go there.

The only other example I can think of is those UFO things that keep turning up on people's phones, but as folks don't believe in those, that makes this little baby unique does it not.

I'll tell you something else, it's totally silent, doesn't make a sound and you can pass your hands all around and underneath it like one of those stage magicians - it doesn't seem to mind. Nor, does it limit itself to any one flowerbed, oh no it moves with it's whims not just the sun, hot border in the morning, vegetable patch in the afternoon - it even followed me into the house one day!

A couple of days after taking this very photo, my wife and I had to pop to the garden centre (we were looking for something inter dimensional) and this little baby kept pace with us for an entire kilometre. It was only as we turned out of our road and my wife put the pedal to the metal that we thought we had lost it - I say 'thought' because when we pulled into the car park at the garden centre about 10 miles away there it was! I don't think anyone else saw it for it was hovering about 50 feet in the air directly over the compost bags, as it did so it slowly rotated and as the sun caught its petals it appeared to change colour - just like one of those bona fide UFOs that don't exist, and when we got home an hour later, there it was, sunning itself next to the garlic. I know, I know, it's incredible, but it isn't for sale so don't even go there....

This is the first time I've seen a sunset like this tonight.

I wish you a pleasant evening and thank you for visiting!

This moment of Show Jumping Championship I captured in Spruce Meadows Equestrian Facility in Calgary, Alberta. Canada.

The magnificent hummingbird is larger than some of the other species but certainly not the largest. What is a challenge is to capture his beauty because if the light is not hitting him straight on you would never see these amazing colors. I have been photographing them for years and this is probably the one that best shows off his beauty !! I truly love him and the white around the eye is one of his distinguishing features !!

Wishing you a great evening and a very blessed one !!!!!!

The Falkirk Wheel is a unique boat lift in the world. It replaces a series of 11 locks linking the canals from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The Falkirk rotary lift has a diameter of 35 metres and lowers or raises ships to a height of 25 metres. A set of double doors allows the boat to enter on one side and to leave on the other side. The wheel turns the two caissons, each weighing 300 tonnes, while the gearing system keeps them perfectly horizontal.

incredible evolution in sl. what people made in between to give us the possibility to create pictures almost realistic. remember when i started, many years ago, and i had problems to find a dark skin. my first one was a gift of skinmaker, who read about my wish in a forum. i was happy. and now i compare with the pictures today..... wooow

Founded by Udai Singh II in 1559, it’s set around a series of artificial lakes and known for its lavish palaces. City Palace, overlooking Lake Pichola, is a monumental complex of 11 palaces famed for its intricate peacock mosaics.

Incredibly windy conditions on Curbar looking at the Pinnacle. A brief moment of beautiful light lit up the valley in a wonderful warm glow as a rain cloud passed over.

Thanks for looking.

Incredible thoughts incredible minds

Too many great ideas inside

It's a miracle my head can contain them

My spectacular brain

For all humankind

Changing how we think about space and time

Now it's time to share them with the people

my brain is a genius

How did my brain conceive them

Fabio just looks so thoughtful in this picture...I imagine the thoughts in this song are exactly what he's thinking about....ROFL!

It is no coincidence that this incredibly beautiful, fragrant and useful plant is called a wild rose. A close relative of the most beautiful flower on earth, the rose hip also has thorns, but is also rich in vitamin C and other useful microelements.

The name “rose hips” is used for wild or unmodified rose species. In Russia today there are up to 100 species of rose hips, and not all of them are equally useful, so some of them are used for decorative purposes. Under natural conditions, wild roses grow on mountain slopes, in river valleys, and in fields there are several dozen varieties of the plant. Unpretentious and cold-resistant ornamental rose hips can often be seen as hedges in country houses. Certain types of wild rose are used to make jam, jam and candied fruits.

The healing properties of rose hips have been known since ancient times. Almost all parts of rose hips are used for medicinal and preventive purposes, but the fruits are considered the most useful. This is explained by the high content of vitamin C in them; its concentration here is higher than in black currants and lemon. Wild rose fruits also boast a variety of biologically active substances.

The most popular among medicinal types of rose hips is traditionally considered to be May rose hips. The fruits of needle, Dahur, Kokand, small-flowered rose hips and some other plant species are also used for medicinal purposes.
