A detail shot of the trunk of a Jaguar XK 150 a Le Mars winner in 1953, 55, 56, and 57. Certainly a winner in my book. As seen at the KC Auto museum Car Show held in Olathe Kansas.
The patterns on the hosta leaf were illuminated by the sun from the rear, giving an interesting abstract shot

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting on a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
These lights are above a streetcar stop on the new trolley line on University Avenue.
University Avenue, west of the University of Arizona's main campus, is the major food and beverage and clothing store center for U of A students, faculty, and visitors. I always find it exciting and enjoyable...:))

On my way to Zion National Park was for me breathtaking as well as inside the park, immense mountains of beautiful reddish rock formation vast green landscape blue semi cloudy skies, it was just amazing. I pulled over on my way and waited patiently for traffic to cleared and shot a couple of road type scene. Out of 3 clicks, this one IMO depicted a fraction of the beauty HW9 heading to Zion is.

The night herons are medium-sized herons, 58–65 cm, in the genera Nycticorax, Nyctanassa, and Gorsachius. The genus name Nycticorax derives from the Greek for “night raven” and refers to the largely nocturnal feeding habits of this group of birds, and the croaking crow-like call of the best known species, the black-crowned night heron.
In Europe, night heron is often used to refer to the black-crowned night heron, since it is the only member of the genus in that continent.
Adults are short-necked, short-legged, and stout herons with a primarily brown or grey plumage, and, in most, a black crown. Young birds are brown, flecked with white. At least some of the extinct Mascarenes taxa appear to have retained this juvenile plumage in adult birds.
Night herons nest alone or in colonies, on platforms of sticks in a group of trees, or on the ground in protected locations such as islands or reedbeds. 3-8 eggs are laid.
Night herons stand still at the water's edge, and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, and small mammals. During the day, they rest in trees or bushes.
There are seven extant species. The genus Nycticorax has suffered more than any other ciconiiform genus from extinction, mainly because of their capability to colonize small, predator-free oceanic islands, and a tendency to evolve towards flightlessness.
Night Herons breed mainly in southern and southeastern Europe and migrate across the Sahara to winter in central and west Africa.

L'attesa, dopo i sospiri (onde che vanno e vengono)
nella notte,
della calma e del tuo sorriso.

"I like the monastic life... in the prayer and the praising... this has charged me with new energy, spiritual energy. This is very important for my ministry outside the monastery."

This is Whitby Abbey. This Abbey once supposedly inspired Bram Stoker to write the story of Dracula. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but these ruins were really fantastic. They are huge, massive monuments and I think this one looks especially nice with the wide plane in front of it. I really liked wandering around and just breathing in the breeze on top of this hill.
