An impressive panoramic view after a somewhat short hike. I wasn't expecting that at all, such a nice surprise!
In addition to the previous shot... here is the bittern with its head pointing straight up. What I was astonished to notice was the position of its eyes! It is still looking straight at me! (See Large for the eye view).

We have had dry weather and even sunshine today and I could convince Tofu to spend some time outside (a little bit of fresh air doesn't hurt after all). In the garden he thoroughly checked all the shrubs and plants where other cats of the neighbourhood usually leave their "messages". :)

Blokktinden rises like a granite sentinel above Tjongsfjorden in Nordland, Norway, catching the dance of light and shadow across its rugged slopes. The fjord mirrors the sky’s soft blues, while scattered clouds frame the towering peak in a scene of pure northern tranquility. This landscape is a testament to the raw beauty of Arctic Norway, where nature’s contrasts create timeless harmony.
Fun Fact
Blokktinden reaches an elevation of 1,044 meters and is a popular destination for hikers seeking panoramic views of the Helgeland coast. On clear days, you can even glimpse the Lofoten mountains far to the north!
Blokktinden reiser seg som en granittvokter over Tjongsfjorden i Nordland, og fanger spillet mellom lys og skygge på sine bratte sider. Fjorden speiler himmelens myke blåtoner, mens spredte skyer rammer inn fjelltoppen i et landskap preget av nordlig ro. Dette er naturens kontraster i sin reneste form – et møte mellom fjord, fjell og himmel som skaper tidløs harmoni.
Shot in Chartres - Eure & Loir - France -
Chartres is universally known for its cathedral listed as World Heritage by UNESCO. For several years "Chartres en Lumières" reveals the cultural and architectural wealth of a city that brightly shines every night from dusk until 1 am.
Comprised of 26 original lighting and video scenographies, this patrimonial path of light will be presented from April 11 till October 10, 2015.
"Lights of Chartres" has become one of the major events in the city, through its spectacular 183 consecutive evenings of light shows... Entirely free !

In de zomer van 2024 konden we wederom van het schitterende vakantieland Tsjechië genieten. Onze dochter heeft een grote voorkeur voor dit land en dan komt het helemaal niet slecht uit dat de vader een groot liefhebber van Tsjechische treinen is. Zwemmen bij het zomerhuisje en uitjes werden afgewisseld met korte en wat langere treinentripjes in de buurt.
Op ruim vijftig rijden vanaf ons vakantiehuisje is de stek bij Nová Ves u Kolína aan de hoofdlijn Praha-Kolín te vinden. Qua goederentreinen is deze lijn wat rustiger dan de nabijgelegen hoofdlijn Nymburk-Lysá nad Labem, maar qua reizigersverkeer is dit een zeer interessante lijn met veel afwisseling. Ondanks de inmiddels gangbare en overheersende Najbrt-kleurstelling komen er nog best veel kleurrijke treinen voorbij.
Je moet niet heel prikkelgevoelig zijn, want je staat op deze plek wel vlakbij een zeer druk bereden weg waar niet bepaald langzaam wordt gereden. Daardoor werden de treinen qua geluid flinkt overstemt door het autoverkeer. Verder kun je in augustus en later helaas na zeven uur hier geen foto meer nemen in verband met de schaduwen van het viaduct (en voorbereidende vrachtwagens) op het spoor.
Hier zien we de fraaie klassieke Čd 150 202-0 met Sp 1528 Kutná Hora hlavní nádraží-Praha hlavní nádraží bij Nová Ves u Kolína op 12-8-2024.
Deze locomotieven kwamen in 1978 in dienst. Helaas worden deze locomotieven met ingang van de nieuwe dienstregeling in december 2024 niet meer ingezet. De diensten worden vervangen door moderne treinstellen ("Regiopanters"). Van de verwante serie 151 blijven nog enkele exemplaren nog een jaar rijden en dan valt het doek ook voor die serie.
I spotted this miniature game of cat-and-mouse yesterday in the phlox patch in my back yard. I'm not sure how; these spiders are TINY, only a few millimeters, but they were pale specks against the green. As I tried to get to a good angle to photograph one, I became aware of another, and then I realized there was a hunt afoot. It seemed the larger was aware of the smaller, but I'm not sure if the smaller knew of the larger. I could see that the larger was female, but didn't get a look at the other's face, so wondered if it was a male.
I don't know the outcome of this chase, as they eventually disappeared into the growth.

The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.

"In velata fioritura" descrive uno stato di fioritura appena accennata, parziale o nascosta, dove la piena esplosione dei fiori è ancora in parte celata o sta iniziando. L'aggettivo "velata" suggerisce che la fioritura non è ancora completamente manifesta, ma si intravede, suggerendo una bellezza sottile e in divenire, come un velo che nasconde e rivela contemporaneamente.
In arte:
Può descrivere un'opera in cui i fiori sono presenti ma non sono il soggetto principale o sono rappresentati in modo meno evidente.
In senso figurato:
Può descrivere una situazione in cui qualcosa sta iniziando ad emergere, ma non si è ancora pienamente sviluppata o rivelata.

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel
Speed along the lane
Do a ton or a ton and twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good and really fine
We're no threat people, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishing or go swimming in the sea
We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy
Sing along with us, dee-dee dee-dee dee
Da doo da-da da, yeah, we're hap-pap-py
Da da da, dee da doo dee da doo da doo da
Da doo da-da da, dee da da dee da da
- Mungo Jerry
When the path ignites a soul,
there's no remaining in place.
The foot touches ground,
but not for long.

.....accoutrements.
here's the greenhouse/garden goddess flying through a tiny flowered orchid which is ready to burst with bloom.
I picked her up years and years ago. I don't know when. I don't know where. she has a bit of rust, but she's still lookin' good.
**I'm still on hiatus. I really love the evenings free.
tonight I did do some commenting.
basically I live days in the little greenhouse, and I've been spending evening trying some new origami. and reading. and hugging the dogs.
and eating pie while I watch my stomach grow. sigh...
my commenting will be off and on.
