In Sweden, tulips usually bloom in the spring. When they came to the country is uncertain, but documentation credits Olof Rudbeck the Elders with bringing over the seeds and bulbs after a trip to Holland. In 1685 he had 38 different kinds of tulips in his botanical garden in Uppsala, and the bulbs have spread since those day to many locations around the country.
Explore, # 62 July 13, 2009! 22/365 Taken Monday, 7/13/09 - It may almost look like I didn't change from the day before because I am wearing the same top; however, I sleep in the buff, so no, I did not sleep in my clothes, but yes, I did wear the same top on Sunday. I live in these things because they are so comfortable. I promise I will throw it in the wash before I go to bed!

Done so many pictures past months but no time to post-process. This is an older one - just showing a small frame of all the poppies growing in my garden.
Greetings

Impressionist image of Tràigh Scarasta on the Isle of Harris. Taken not long after sunrise in February 2017, the lilac tones in the sky are gorgeous against the aqua and white sea and the light sand. Scarista Beach is possibly my favourite spot on Harris. It speaks to me and this image recreates the feeling of an almost dreamlike calm, balance and contentment that I get when I spend time there.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop

A large empty manor house somewhere in Belgium. A narrow gap in the thick drapes at the window casting a pool of light across this corner of the room. This room was full of chairs due to the house once being a venue for weddings. There is a small chapel attached to the house for just this purpose, however the house just sits empty for the time being.

The picture is taken with my Beltica I, the clouds were thick and it was snow in the air.

After a long walk in the woods I needed a break on the floor. It's wonderful to lie here, my pantyhosed legs in the grass, in the soft moss.

In 2026 wordt onder de naam van 'Volgende Halte' gevierd dat de tramlijn in het Openlucht Museum in Arnhem alweer dertig jaar bestaat.
Gasttrams komen van de Elektrische Museumtramlijn in Amsterdam. Nog nooit zijn van NBM motorwagen 20 en goederenwagen 402 op bezoek geweest. Union 144 van het GVB is ook van de partij samen met open bijwagen 600.
Op 18 april viert ook NVBS het feestje mee en heeft een avond evenement georganiseerd waarbij de trams ook tegenstrooms rijden.
Felt like getting out today. My husband called me and told me there was a beautiful bed of tulips in full bloom in downtown Roanoke. Gorgeous colors!!!
Thanks so much for taking a look! I hope that you all are having a wonderful Spring!!!
That orange stop is there in front of Deb's front wheel, even though she has the emergency brake on. Better safe than sorry.
This behemoth bull elephant seal had no challengers. Occasionally, he would raise his head and bellow to keep it that way.
This is a more typical scene than the one I posted a couple of days ago...a beach crowded with mom's and pups surrounding a dominant bull. I count 17 pups in this small section of beach.
Test foto(s) with my newest "toy": Leica IIIa with Summar 2/50 mm. The Leica is in very good condition, but the lens really shows its age (73 years!!) The front element has massiv cleaning marks and inside the lens separation has started ... Nonetheless the results are really good! Especially the bokeh of the lens is fantastic! Photography with this camera and lens gives me a totally different feeling than with with modern gear - I loved it from the first moment....!
Today would have been my dad's 86th birthday. He passed away two weeks ago. He loved the vast open spaces and the magnificent black-maned lions of Kgalagadi and it was on his recommendation that Willie and I first visited in 1992. My sister often likens my dad to a lion as he was a man with integrity and inner strength. Just like the lion in this image his quiet presence commanded attention. He was always there for us and is sorely missed.
Photograph taken during our last trip, early morning near Samevloeiing with the first rays of the sun touching the mane of this beautiful male. My dad was not well enough to see our photographs from this trip...

"What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from great lonliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beast also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. " ~ Chief Seathl — Duwanish Tribe

Not nearly as sharp as I would have liked but then that happens sometimes when you least expect to run into a grizzly in the wild and are without the tripod. This guy attracted quite a large crowd of spectators one afternoon in Little America, and I was quite content to stand on a hill across the road from him and watch him grazing in the meadow. Such gorgeous creatures who command a sense of awe & respect :-)
Hope everyone has a great weekend; don't forget to rest, relax, and take some time for yourself.....26 days & counting till vacation in the southwest....thanks for stopping by to visit & leaving a comment or two :-)

Edgartown, MA on Martha's Vineyard. Strolled out toward the Edgartown Lighthouse to see what sunset would look like in that spot...and found still water and daylight's last soft colors calling me instead.
"He's been photographing butterflies all morning," says Shelley
"Even when we were rubbing suntan lotion into each other's bodies," adds Poppy
"No wonder he doesn't dare show his face over on the Men With Dolls board anymore," notes Shelley.
Sad but true ;) It's my own version of 'Pokemon Go' that I've been playing for years (with it's own catchphrases such as "c'mon, settle!" and "open your wings you son of a b*tch!"). Only a few days ago I was chasing a Cinnibar moth around the garden :)

The debate/arguments continue as to the decision to place this attraction/eyesore at the edge of the Recreation Grounds in Stratford-upon-Avon. The latest objections are to the light show emitted by the wheel.
"I figli sono alberi, e quando pianti un albero lo prepari perché viva a lungo, perché viva dopo di te. Devi dargli terreno buono e radici profonde, perché si deve cercare da solo la linfa; ha la maestosità dell’albero che vedi crescere, ma che non puoi portarti in casa se c’è tempesta, neve o vento. Se la deve cavare da solo".

Da es mittlerweile am Weststrand wieder ein paar Bäume gibt, die im Wasser liegen, bin ich am vergangenem Wochenende mal wieder dort gewesen. Der Wind hat ordentlich Wellen gemacht, das war gefundenes Fressen für Bewegungsunschärfe in den Wellen.

I had a short layover in Munich of a night on my way to indulge in a Danube Cruise, long on my bucket list.
On my way to Marien Platz on a chilly morning in April. The architecture in the heart of Munich is stunning.

Week 2 of 52 in 2013. The theme is MY HOMETOWN. I live in the small town of LaGrange, Georgia, well at least for another 4 weeks until I move to Canton, GA and then finally Gainesville, GA. This week's theme did prove challenging as I've taken so many photos of the fountain in Lafayette Square in LaGrange, and I wanted to get something different, So Friday morning I got up early to get this sunrise shot. Gilbert Motier de Lafayette was a major general in George Washington's army and played a vital role in the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown, ending the Revolutionary War. The city of LaGrange, Georgia was named for Lafayette's home, the Chateau de LaGrange, in France.
