The place where my great-grandfather started farming in 1882.
The outside of the buildings didn't change since that time....
Yosemite has always been my favorite National Park. My body needs to go there every year to recharge. This year the high country was still closed well into June due to all the snow from last winter. On the plus side, this also meant that the waterfalls had a very high flow. We initially planned to go to Seattle this week but the weather there was really bad so we headed south. We only spent one day in the Valley but I loved it, even though it was incredibly crowded and I didn't have time for any hikes (next time).
I took these photos in early June 2017.
Saw this Kestrel with my Niece back in July on the Boardwalk that during the Summer is very busy. The bird seemed weakened and the curiosity of people was certainly causing distress. SEPNA (they are a branch of the Police that protects Nature and helps wild animals).was called to pick it up but there was too much people surrounding it and eventually the bird was able to fly away.All I can hope is that all turned out well for this bird Cheers everyone.

Die Barrikade auf dem Michaelerplatz in der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. Mai 1848

1848
Wien Museum
"The demonstration of the students on March 13, with which they demanded freedom of speech, teaching, and learning, was the starting note for the revolutionary events of 1848. From then on, the “Academic legion”, an armed formation of students, was at the forefront of all revolutionary actions. When the government resolved to dissolve the Legion, the students, supported by workers from the periphery, erected roughly 160 barricades in Vienna’s city centre from 26 to 28 May, with which they forced the government to repeal the decree." sammlung.wienmuseum.at/en/album/a2ciemencqh4v4gpf-barrica...

She stood, waiting. The morning chill was fresh in her nostrils and the beat of the waterfall was prominent in her ears. She thought back to the early days when she and her husband had lived happily in this little cottage. She thought of the months they had spent building it, the seasons they had spent sowing seed and harvesting the crops. She remembered the cold winters and the hot summers spent with him, they had been times of peace. But that was before the war came.
Her husband had marched of to do his duty for the kingdom, and she hadn't heard from him since. Four years on, the war having now ended, she waited. Everyday she listened intently for the sound of a horse's hooves to drift along the stone path, for the familiar tune her beloved had always whistled. She was hopeful. She was sure that he would have survived the war - how could he not? He was a strong man. At the end of each day when he had not returned, she kept up her faith, hoping that tomorrow would be the day. "He will come", she told herself. "In time, he will come".

So, long time no build! I actually started this sometime last year, (early last month :P) but only just got around to finishing it. Hope you enjoy!

Taizō-in (退蔵院?) is the oldest sub-temple (tatchū (塔頭?)) of the Myōshin-ji Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple, situated in the northwest of Kyoto, Japan. It was founded by Zen priest Muinsoin in 1404. The original temple buildings were burned during the Ōnin War (1467-1477), and were later rebuilt.
Taizō-in is well known for its two gardens. The main garden, Motonobu-no-niwa, is a traditional Japanese dry landscape garden (karesansui), containing several angular rocks suggesting the cliffs of the island of Hōrai, with smaller stones suggesting a stream. The planting is mostly evergreen, including camellia, pine, and Japanese umbrella pine. It covers 50 tsubo (170 m²) and was designed to integrate a borrowing of scenery ("shakkei") of a view of Narabigaoka Hill in the distance. It is thought to be the final work of Muromachi painter Kanō Motonobu (狩野 元信), reproducing one of his paintings in three dimensions.
A new pond garden, or yoko-en, was designed by Kinsaku Nakane in 1963-1966. The new garden is large enough for visitors to walk in, and contains azaleas and a stream that cascades along the main axis, directly toward the main viewing position. The stream flows around rocks, gradually widening until it empties into a pool in front of the viewer. (Wikipedia)
Have a great weekend. I have been so busy I haven't had any Flickr time. I went out yesterday with some friends. Just a lovely day, not much for photo shooting so came home and took this shot in my garden.

Entropy in Elora. Elora, ON (Kiddie-Kar Factory) Once used in "An American Christmas Carol" as a Furniture factory. The town of Elora was the backdrop for the 1979 Christmas Special that starred Henry Winkler.
Today was an incredibly beautiful winter day in Oregon.
We spent the day driving over the Oregon Coastal Range to spend the day in Tillamook, playing on the beach with our doggies.
On the way to the ocean, we must have seen at least a dozen Red-tailed Hawks in trees, on power poles, on road signs, and flying around the fields. We also saw a few Bald Eagles, but the Hawks easily outnumbered the Eagles on this beautiful day.
This particular Hawk was quite a big boy (or girl, as I don't know how to sex these birdies). In comparison, a few minutes earlier, an adult Cooper's Hawk flew out of this same tree and it looked like a small babe in comparison to this large Red-tailed Hawk. Both were beautiful birds.
What a wonderful day for raptor watching!
I see his dreams coming true.
