Have a nice weekend, dear friends ...
The Bumblebee by James Whitcomb Riley
You better not fool with a Bumblebee! --
Ef you don't think they can sting -- you'll see!
They're lazy to look at, an' kind o' go
Buzzin' an' bummin' aroun' so slow,
An' ac' so slouchy an' all fagged out,
Danglin' their legs as they drone about
The hollyhawks 'at they can't climb in
'Ithout ist a-tumble-un out ag'in!
Wunst I watched one climb clean 'way
In a jimson-blossom, I did, one day, --
An' I ist grabbed it -- an' nen let go --
An' "Ooh-ooh! Honey! I told ye so!"
Says The Raggedy Man; an' he ist run
An' pullt out the stinger, an' don't laugh none,
An' says: "They has be'n folks, I guess,
'At thought I wuz predjudust, more er less, --
Yit I still muntain 'at a Bumblebee
Wears out his welcome too quick fer me!"

Passing Llyn Teyrn (in English Tributes Lake) while walking up Snowdon on the Miners Track, which is one of eight tracks upo the mountain along with the Llanberis Path, Snowdon Ranger Path, Rhyd Ddu Path, Watkin Path, Over Y Lliwedd, Pyg Track & the Crib Goch route. In Gwynedd, North Wales.
The first recorded ascent of Snowdon was by the botanist Thomas Johnson in 1639. However, the 18th-century Welsh historian Thomas Pennant mentions a "triumphal fair upon this our chief of mountains" following Edward I's conquest of Wales in 1284, which could indicate the possibility of earlier ascents.
Snowdon offers some of the most extensive views in the British Isles. On exceptionally clear days, Ireland, Scotland, England, and the Isle of Man are all visible, as well as 24 counties, 29 lakes and 17 islands. The view between Snowdon and Merrick (southern Scotland) is the longest theoretical line of sight in the British Isles at 144 miles (232 km).
Snowdon has been described as "probably the busiest mountain in Britain", with approximately 444,000 people having walked up the mountain in 2016. A number of well-established and engineered footpaths lead to Snowdon's summit from all sides, and can be combined in various ways. The circular walk starting and ending at Pen-y-Pass and using the Crib Goch route and the route over Y Lliwedd is called the Snowdon Horseshoe, and is considered "one of the finest ridge walks in Britain".
The routes are arranged here anticlockwise, starting with the path leading from Llanberis. In winter conditions, all these routes become significantly more dangerous and the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team state that "additional skills, equipment and knowledge are required". Many inexperienced walkers have been killed over the years attempting to climb the mountain via the main paths.

Escursione in mountain bike del 16 /6/2012 in compagnia degli amici dell' arestis.com/mountainbike/ con partenza dalla chiesa campestre di S. Pietro, vicino al Golgo di Baunei con discesa lungo un sentiero ricavato, nei secoli passati, dai carbonai, sulla costa calcarea che conduce a cala Sisine. Forse l’itinerario più bello che si possa percorrere in Ogliastra, la diramazione della carrareccia per Cala Luna all'ovile su Irvone Longu che poi procede in discesa fino a Cala Sisine, seguendo a ritroso una sezione del trekking selvaggio Blu, con il ritorno per la Codula Sisine rende onore alla categoria "All Muntain" per le caratteristiche tecniche del percorso e per l'impegno fisico richiesto..... fonte: Mountain Bike in Sardegna.
Nella foto, mio figlio che si gode il panorama, prima di affrontare la discesa mozzafiato verso Cala Sisine.
Looking down at Glaslyn (in English Blue lake) as you climb up on the Miners Path to the summit of Snowdon, in Gwynedd in North Wales.
In Welsh folklore, Arthur had Bedivere throw his sword Excalibur into Glaslyn, where Arthur's body was later placed in a boat to be carried away to Afallon. Arthur's men then retreated to a cave on the slopes of Y Lliwedd, where they are said to sleep until such time as they are needed. Merlin is supposed to have hidden the golden throne of Britain among the cliffs north of Crib y Ddysgl when the Saxons invaded.
Glaslyn was also the final resting place of a water monster, known as an afanc (also the Welsh word for beaver), which had plagued the people of the Conwy valley. They tempted the monster out of the water with a young girl, before securing it with chains and dragging it to Glaslyn. A large stone known as Maen Du'r Arddu, below Clogwyn Du'r Arddu, is supposed to have magical powers. Like several other sites in Wales, it is said that if two people spend the night there, one will become a great poet while the other will become insane. Llyn Coch in Cwm Clogwyn has been associated with the Tylwyth Teg (fairies), including a version of the fairy bride legend.
