“Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself."
Often we let the opinions of others hold us back. You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be.

When I look up towards the night sky, it just keeps going. It seems as if there is no end to it and as far as we know, we cannot find an end to it. This reminds me of the infinity of God, His love is endless and the angels still are discovering more of His attributes!

- Small part branch of an Easter branch
In some parts of Europe, the corkscrew hazel is used in Easter celebrations: branches are brought into the house and decorated, much like a Christmas tree! I keep 5 branches already many years and decorate them at Easter with Easter eggs and other Easter symbols (see the pictures in the first comment).
- ONE of the winter highlights in my garden is the gnarled silhouette of the "corkscrew hazel" - Corylus avellana 'Contorta'.
In low sunshine, the pale sky provides the perfect backdrop for its dark and tortuously twisted branches.
On dull, damp days raindrops collect in every nook and cranny - glistening along each stem.
And, as January days lengthen, the plump catkins gently unfurl into long, wavy tassels - just in time to float above the first crocuses, snowdrops and aconites.
This intricate form of our native hazel appeared spontaneously in a Gloucestershire hedgerow in the early 1860s. An eminent Victorian gardener, Canon Ellacombe of Bitton, spotted the tangled stems and propagated the plant to amuse his friend Edward Augustus Bowles.
Bowles loved plant curiosities and aberrations enough to dedicate part of his large garden near Enfield, Middlesex, to his oddities. His original plant - the first contorted hazel in cultivation - still grows in the 'Lunatic Asylum' (as Bowles named it) at Myddelton House today.
Once established in Bowles's garden, other famous gardeners admired its sculptural, bonsai-like charms. In the early years of the 20th century it acquired another name - Harry Lauder's Walking Stick - after the popular Scottish entertainer. Yet this slow-growing bush (which rarely reaches 15ft in height) has a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Though handsome in winter finery, its summer "plumage" is a tangle of green leaves.
[...] If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is - infinite [...]

The Ngorongoro crater is one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world. It was formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed two or three million years ago. The caldera is a huge bowl with walls of more than 600 meters high, covered with forests, plus a flat ground and land of about 260 km2. This particular natural world is organized in several ecosystems - forests, savannas, lakes and marshes, salt ponds, arid lands ... -, embedded in an area that does not exceed 20 kilometers in diameter.
The crater houses about 25,000 animals of very different species. It is considered one of the smaller areas where it is possible to see the big five, the five most representative animals of Africa: the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the buffalo and the rhinoceros (if the hippopotamus is included, then it should be enlarged the denomination to the big six). In addition, in the circle it is possible to observe, with a bit of luck, the exotic black rhinoceros, possibly the biggest attraction of the park.

I've visited this bridge a few times and spoken of an ambition for perfect reflections. My fingers are crossed now for next year's display, hoping for less wind. Thank you Stockton on Tees, for a very special night! I could easily fill my front page with images from this shoot but they're a little repetitive in framing. My wife was surprised I hadn't edited more. I had a few burned out shots from the really bright bursts and think I may try shooting on manual with "Bulb" next time. The infinity Bridge is named because, when reflected, the shape is like its symbol. The bridge allows walkers and cyclists to access the University Campus.
Covid put a stop to visits for further displays but I'll return one day!
Have you ever looked into a mirror to see your reflection and contemplated on it to be an endless reflection. I did a bit of photoshop tweaking to emulate that notion for a club photography contest. It took 2nd place in the reflection category. Tell me what you think?
Puka shell necklace. The Hawaiian word "puka" means "hole." Puka shells originally contained mollusks who died or were eaten. As the empty shell was knocked about in the ocean, a hole would wear in the weak center of the shell. Hawaiians typically give puka necklaces to wish the recipient goodwill or good luck. If given to a sailor, a puka necklace is supposed to help bring him home safely. --- Courtesy: Classroom.
