Tomb of Luís de Camões in Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Monastery of St. Hieronymus) in Belem, Lisbon.
Camões is considered to be Portugal's greatest poet. He is to the Portuguese language what Shakespeare is to English and Pushkin to Russian. He led an interesting life spanning most of the Portuguese Age of Discovery in the XVI c., became famous in his lifetime, and died of plague in dire poverty. There is a strong indication that bones interred in his grave do not, in fact, belong to him. And the magnificent tomb was made only in late XIX c.
Every bell ringers dreads dropping a clanger particularly those on their bell!
(A word of explanation to those whose first language is not British English. To ‘drop a clanger’ is an expression used to signify that you have made a big mistake! Once very popular now seldom heard.)
VALPUESTA - Burgos
Cuna del Castellano.
En este lugar se situó un obispado desde el año 804 hasta el 1087.
La dióceis de Valpuesta fue formada tras la conquista islámica de la península ibérica, desmantelándose la diócesis de Oca hacia Valdegovía.
De su Colegiata de Santa María, construida a partir de la ermita del siglo IX, proceden los Cartularios de Valpuesta, primer documento que contiene palabras escritas en castellano.
Spanish language cradle.
There was a bishopric here from the year 804 until 1087.
The diocese of Valpuesta was formed after the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, dismantling the diocese of Oca towards Valdegovía.
From the Collegiate Church of Santa María, built from the hermitage of the ninth century, come the Cartularios de Valpuesta, the first document that contains words written in Spanish.

The Hidden Language of theRoses
The Rose blooms are delicious creatures ! Not just because they are fragrant. Not just because they have magical colours and forms. Not just because the moment you stare at them, you are transferred to other , better worlds. Not just because they have an aura with divine energy around them!
But also, because, the moment you are found in the middle of your blooming garden, the Roses with their blooming blooms, captivate SO much your strong attention, that you… forget to… eat when you are hungry, you forget your tasks of the day, you forget your appointments, your calls!! The only thing you want, is to go very close to them and “see” them with all your being and your senses!! To capture their Divine Beauty, because you know it is ephemeral, like all physical things…In order to have them by your side when the winter approaches, with its loooong dark, cold days, while themselves have already started hibernating until your new rendezvous in the coming Spring…
❤️You can admire here the magnificent Rose bloom of a David Austin Rose : Grace !! Her blooms’ form and apricot color harmony, are especially attractive and original!

A stack of bowls is on the other side of that cabinet door--with leftover dry kibble in them. He checks this spot frequently, to see if one of us forgets to close the cabinet.

Gardenia jasminoides plant with beautiful blooms ( Govardhan in Indian language, Hindi ). Fragrance released by these beautiful flowers is excellent ! ! ! I bought this beautiful flowering plant as Mother's Day gift for my wife.
Our daily ritual this winter is a walk ... either on the very frozen Keefer Lake or on our forest trail (or both). Although she is mostly very patient with me, sometimes Rosa can get frustrated when I am constantly stopping to take photos. I liked the 'hole in the sky' that was developing.
PS: That's the dog's leash in her hands - not a mobile phone. :)

There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.

“Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” —Henry James
My heart sways with the tall Summer grasses. ~ Me
Soon enough they will wither like grass, like green herbs fading in summer’s heat. Psalm 37:2
The grass withers, the flower fades; nothing lasts except the word of our God. It will stand forever. Isaiah 40:8
Han River Park, Seoul, years before the pandemic. God shines with His creativity, among 13 million people, among the cars, the steel, the concrete. . .
Reading all my feelings, need a one-way ticket
Looking so fly 'cause I mind my business
Self-proposed but you know I'm vicious
Slow your roll, you can't lie to me, baby
I see it all in your eyes and your face
Want these knees to go opposite ways
And I see you fiendin', go off on it, babe
I don't need to speak, I'm not talkin', babe

Sometimes lookin' up in a building is like lookin' into another dimension.
During the first leg of our Spanish summer tour, we returned to the CAC. Mainly because we hadn't seen the buildings from the inside yet. The Prince Felip Science museum was a great building to start with.
Shot in the main atrium, showcasing the articulated and intricate 'organic' architecture of Calatrava. The 'spikes' (sharp triangles) of the roof, which are visible in the approx 1/3 position of the frame, are shown too, in a shot from the outside: here
It's not 'enchanted concrete' like in Sao Paulo here but, staying close to Calatrava's form language, 'lush concrete'.
